Hi there, I would say MM ones are, but that's my personal point of view. Every time I tried to used them, I ran into problems. And, if you care about performance, (and you should care even more if you're targeting mobile devices) i wouldn't recommend them. Nonetheless, components are not evil

[Flashcoders] Detect if Flash Movie is on screen or below scroll area

2006-11-25 Thread Rifled Cloaca
All, I've noticed Revver.com's Flash video embeds don't load content on long pages until the user scrolls down. Does anyone know how this is done? I can imagine one could do it with Javascript, but most sites don't allow embedding javascript, so I imagine it's done a different way. Any ideas?

System.security.allowDomain() serves a little bit different purpose, it has nothing to do with your current problem. LoadVars.send() and LoadVars.sendAndLoad() somewhat differ concerning security issues. The send() method is allowed to send data to any target domain, but sendAndLoad() is

It just keeps hanging? Are there other symptoms? I've installed studo 8 on my macbook just fine. However, I just installed a select few programs instead of the entire bundle. Might try the one at a time approach. -lincoln On Nov 25, 2006, at 1:06 PM, Weyert de Boer wrote: Hello!

I have the same impression. I found it easier to develop my own scroll bar component (or class ) including support for mouse weel, targeting textfields and masked movieclips , than dealing with the graphic customization of the UI Components. I've also noticed they add about 200KB to your SWF file.

Re: [Flashcoders] components are Evil?

2006-11-25 Thread Michael Bedar
Using a component someone else made to suit a general audience is almost always going to be less good than creating a custom component for a specific task/project, given a sufficiently skilled developer, no matter how good the general component is. So if you use a 3rd party component, it

200kb??? I don't think so. scrollbar: 32kb all UI Components: 124kb You're also compairing 1 component with a complete framework.. There's no comparisson. If all you need is a scrollbar, then the v2 components are probably not a good choice. When developing a large RIA it is, in my opinion.
