Are you talking about changing the flashVar value in the page? If so, does
Flash pick up this change? I'd guess it doesn't and you'd need to reload the
movie, I guess by re-wrtiing the HTML, <object> tag etc.

Use flashvars & Actionscript to select the movie. If I understand what
you want the buttons are on the webpage & not in the flash movie. If
this is so you will have to reload the page each time a button is
pressed passing a new value to the movie through flashvars to select
which movie to play.
And if you want to avoid reloading use JavaScript instead.

Do you have a full path to your gateway in the Service
Browser?
You should be able to view the working service directly in
flash.

The snippet below takes one clip and duplicate it in rows and columns
- simple stuff.
_root.attachMovie("seat",seat_mc,_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:-1000,_y:0});
function createSeats (xSpacing:Number,ySpacing:Number,rows:Number,cols:Number) {
var xSpacing:Number = xSpacing;
var ySpacing:Number = ySpacing;
var xStart:Number = 10;
var yStart:Number = 30;
var v:Number = 0;
var i:Number = -1;
// specified by the user
var rows:Number = rows;
var cols:Number = cols;
while (++i < cols) {
var j:Number = -1;
while (++j < rows) {
++v;
var name:String = "seat" + v;
_root[seats].duplicateMovieClip (name, v);
_root[name]._x = xStart + i * xSpacing;
_root[name]._y = yStart + j * ySpacing;
}
}
}
createSeats(10,10,7,20);
Now rather than the final result being duplicated in rows and cols
like a square or a box, I'd like to let the user decide the amount of
angle to the left or right , so as to give it a "perspective" or
skewed look - if that makes any sense.
Please see the attached gifs for a better explanation.
Any help appreciated.

I never use wmode transparent -- it's buggy and broken.

As you might know I am working on a little difference keying thingy in
Flash. This isn't working at all, but I know got all the right
information to mask it i.e. strip away the background. I only the code I
try doesn't work for me. I am using the following code:
outputFrame.clear(); // reset
outputFrame.draw( this.videoFrame, new Matrix(), null, "normal",
null, true ); // the normal (background)
outputFrame.draw( this.maskedFrameBlurred, new Matrix(), null,
"alpha", null, true ); // the mask (white/black)
outputFrame.draw( outputFrame, new Matrix(), null, "auto",
null, true ); // auto-merging
Only this code doesn't work for me, would anyone here happen to know
what might be wrong?
Yours,
Weyert de Boer

Johan,
The list does not accept attachments, so your gifs didn't come
through. It isn't clear to me what kind of rotation you're looking
for -- the same applied to every clip, or something else. Please post
the gifs to a URL, or send a more thorough description of what you
need to happen.

Hi,
I'm working on a purely bitmap based game engine I'm testing here
http://www.mrgamechef.com/
utilizing two movieclips, one for background build out and one for main
draw area
the rest is purely bitmap data blitted to a double buffer. the method is
extremely fast
but slows down after about 1 second in firefox. If you then right click
on the browser areas and pop the property
inspector for firefox, not flash..you'll see a return to the higher
speed. Ive tested shutting down some of the blitting and also
clearing memory in flash player, also turning off matrix and transforms
on blitted items, it seems to be purely a firefox
effect. Is there some type of refresh you can trigger in firefox to
retain the speed? If you have no clue about blitting and double buffer
theres an article here
http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2005/11/blitting_double.html
if you know how to effect firefox from browser or Flash please let me
know, i already know about speeding up firefox with commands,
I want to speed it up for all viewers and not just myself
cheers
Ian Stokes

Subject: [Flashcoders] tweening and loader...
To: Flashcoders mailing list <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi to you all,
I've just received a FLA from our graphist and must return it to him for
further visual modifications and here is my problem:
There is (a minimum) 5 squares_mc inside a menu and on 10 frames of that
menu there is a tweening of both coordinates and alpha values of all the
squares_mc. The project specifies that there will be thumbnails inside
those squares_mc...I'm using the loader component to do the trick inside
of a square_c component (squares_mc are instances of square_c). My
problem is that at the end of the tweening, the image loaded disapeares
(another instance of the squares_mc because of the end of the tween.......).
I must not touch the timeline of the menu and the tweening of the
squares_mc but how can I do the load image and conserve it? I've tried
reloading the image put I have a 1 frame blank... not acceptable!
Thanks for any suggestions...
