Hello flashcoders,
I haven't upgrade to Flash 8 so far. Of course I'll do it soon ;-).
But I have already read some of the manuals (AS reference, components etc)
New features are great, definitely worth buying/using/migrating.
The only question is when?
Example:
My product, Dynamic Blend v.2
I seem to recall someone on this list suggesting that if you call
loadMovie(null) on an already loading clip, it actually cancels the load.
Of course, I may have been dreaming... I haven't actually tried it!
HTH,
Ian

Hi there,
I've checked Brian's port.
It seems interesting because of some additions.
But you should be aware that's it is just an inclusion of the methods
without private/public modifiers.
I'll manage to add this once I get time.
That way you'll get these modifiers plus Brian's add.

You have to store a reference to the delegate to be able to remove it.
A modification of a post by Till S:
function clearListeners():Void {
fntController.removeEventListener('onFinished', fdelegate);
}
var fdelegate = Delegate.create(this, fontsLoaded);
The trouble is that Delegate.create _creates a new Function object_ - so the
Delegate object in your removeEventListener call is actually a different
object from in your addEventListener call.
To get around this, simply store the delegate - e.g.:
