Re: [Flashcoders] remove a Dynamic dropDown menu problem

if instead of creating your items in the root, you created them in a MC, you can then just delete/unload the MC holder and then create a new one. That will instantly remove all the sub-movie clip/buttons. and, yes, you should try learning how to encapsulate your code in functions or, even

Thank you Sebastian, This questions would probably belong to the flashNewbie list but they have Jason there who advocates the use of 'Delegate. create' and sincerely that confuses the hell out of me and, at this stage I do not have the time to sit down and do any more learning than I am

Works fine on my Mac / Safari. Did you, by any chance, recently install the new Flip4Mac plugin. I did, and immediately Safari quit playing any Flash. I removed my Quicktime plugins from the plugin folder (in the system Library) and that fixed it. Odie On May 20, 2007, at 10:23 AM,

Sebastian, I have tried implementing your idea but I don't seem to be able to create my dropdown menu any longer. Only the last button is created and without the appropriate label but also at 0,0. Also, should I made the heigth of the container large enough to hold any number of buttons? At

What are the options for delivering Flash over the web, but outside of the browser? Has anybody used jFlash (a module that allows you to use Flash content in stead of Swing within Java)? Our objective is to deliver an interactive IRC/remote-control which will float over other windows. We'd
