Hi Michael, The PDF specification is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html AS3 is perfectly capable of reading it and pulling it apart via the ByteArray class, although you'd have to write the code to do that. However, you would need to load the entire PDF into the AS3 app to do so. If this is a web client application, I'd recommend doing the parsing serverside - there are a number of libraries for various server-side languages for reading PDF data.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 ROLL_OVER or MOUSE_OVER ? Which one, and why ?
From the docs: The purpose of the rollOver event is to simplify the coding of rollout behaviors for display object containers with children. When the mouse leaves the area of a display object or the area of any of its children to go to an object that is not one of its children, the display object dispatches the rollOver event. This is different behavior than that of the mouseOver event, which is dispatched each time the mouse enters the area of any child object of the display object container, even if the mouse was already over another child object of the display object container. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of T.

You could use: var urlNoCache:String = (System.capabilities.playerType == External ? ? + getTimer(): ); Appending urlNoCache to your url will only add a string when played in an external player or test movie.

During testing from within Flash, once I've loaded a file it remains cached by the Flash Player. This makes it hard to test the loader. I've had to add a random number after the file name (?+String(Math.random()) in order to get a fresh download each time. Isn't there a better way to clear the cache? Because I'm using AS2, I can't dynamically change the parent of a media clip when I need it, but I'd like to preload any anticipated media into a buffer clip before they actually get displayed in the UI. So, if I load something into a buffer clip and then later load the same address into the UI clip, will the cached data be good to go? There's probably a better way to do this.

Is there any way for me to capture a user click on an href tag inside of a CSS formatted html text field? Here is what I do: - CDATA formatted text in an XML file. - load it and associate a CSS file to a generated text field at run time. - resulting a tags have links assigned to them. - user 'clicks' them - event capture?? In other words: what I need to do is to hear the event so I can dispatch an event to my Controller class [who then sends info to the stats class, and opens a browser window with predetermined formatting]. At the moment I can't see a way for this event to be heard by my controller. Maybe this is simple? maybe its impossible, or complex... any ideas? Javascript maybe?

RE: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Crazy talk my arse! ;-) I've used XML with HTML and CSS to drive several commercial products I've developed. So long as all tags are correctly terminated it makes sense to use XML; where do you think XHTML came from? XML is, by nature, a portable document that can be used and interpreted by other programs. You only use CDATA as a last resort as it can be a real pain to process in some other languages. Flash Player doesn't even recognise CDATA nodes as a type; only element and text nodes. With XML, you know the structure of the document you're working with as it is defined at some point. If I know that all data inside my content element is XHTML then I only need to fetch its contents or rather its child nodes. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Stearns Sent: 10 August 2006 17:31 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML this advice is all crazy talk. the proper way to do it is to use CDATA tags.

RE: [Flashcoders] Class Silent
Well for starters, your fadeObj method defines a parameter which has the same name as your public variable. Also, it appears that your onEnterFrame contains a reference to mc that doesn't exist in its scope; perhaps using a Delegate helper would solve that, or simply change it to this since the method belongs to your mc anyway. Although this could just be a typo, where you're instantiating your class, you're missing a ( after the class name. Hope that helps get you back on track - good luck! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CK Sent: 05 August 2006 23:58 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Class Silent Hi, The following class I've coded fails to fade the MC on stage.

[Flashcoders] Printing a swf from inside a text field
Hello I'm building a Flash 8 application that parses XML files containing HTML and a separate CSS file to build its various layouts using homebrew components. So far I'm having a wail of time as almost everything has been working as expected. One of this project's requirements is that pop-up windows can contain graphics and/or text so for simplicity I've used a text field to dynamically load in whatever is relevant to that pop-up. Some of those graphics are embedded SWF files; they have their own control for printing and that's where my problem begins. The printable SWF libraries contain linkage ids for the print target clip along with links a shared print button clip. The print button, when clicked, creates the page layout with headers and footers and attaches the print target, scaling and rotating as needed to fit properly on a piece of paper. It all works fine when the SWF is not embedded in a text field, however when embedded, the printed page is clipped to the boundaries of the text field that the SWF is in. I've tried creating the page using a container elsewhere (i.e. at various _parent's up to get above the text field object) but if I do that then nothing shows at all; yet I know the print page is being created as I have access to all of the objects in it. I am aware that the text field object has problems, such as showing inline images, and have tried things like adding a few dozen line breaks in the HTML but to no avail. The only bit of luck I have had is to set the parent or the embedded SWF (the text field) mask to null. The complete page prints out perfectly. However, I cannot reapply the text field's mask as I don't know what it's called. Unfortunately there is no getMask() method. So, does anyone know a workaround or know what the name of the object the text field uses to mask its contents? Please help as I'm rapidly running out of hair to pull! I've searched the archives and haven't been able to spot anything related to this. (I have local copy of every Flash Coder email going back to early 2002 so that should be early enough!)
