I thought you could instantiate a TextFormat object like this:

But that doesn't work as there's a compile error. Why?

err, sure it is not. just wanted to point out that there is a solution for the
markup you may want to use.
Methods 1 and 2 is not possible. A movieclip can only be attached to a
timeline inside the owning swf.
One dirty fix would be to do the second load emidiatly after the module
has loaded. Since that usually would mean it loading from the cache it would
load to the next frame. And don't consider

You cannot change the parent of a movieclip in Flash 8, although from
what I understand about 8.5 this will be possible. If you want a
movieclip on the root, why not make it there?
tmp_mc=_root.attachMovie('blankClip', 'mc'+depth, depth);
tmp_mc.loadMovie(moduleName+'.swf');
code to
underline:true isn't valid, unless you are building an anonymous object.
You can pass the values like this but they're not named. You have to pass
the values in the order shown in the docs. It would have been a lot more
useful if you could pass an object ...

Hi Hank,
Flash Lite has a limit on the number of network requests, meaning you
can only do five per frame and a maximum of ten (was four in 1.1)
connections at the same time. You should be aware that this means all
requests including XML.load() or loadVariables etc. The support of mp3
On the networking side, you need to have a data plan for your phone. I've
got Media Net through Cingular which gives me text, multimedia messengeing,

In Flash Lite 1.1, when doing a network request, it would throw a popup for
the user, letting them know Flash needed

Yes, it should work with a WAP plan/membership too. It worked until I

Weyert,
I dont quite understand. I never use frames. So since all my code is

could only make ten network calls no matter how long it was running?
That would be incredible. If so does this make it impractical to
check the
You may not use frames, but Flash Player internally does. Do a function
onEnterFrame, and you'll see what Weyert means.
So, basically, if you do this:

loadMovie(cow2.jpg);
loadMovie(cow3.jpg);
loadMovie(cow4.jpg);
loadMovie(cow5.jpg);
It'll work, but this:

Yeah, that sounds right. But I dont know how you could play a sound
