Hi Kent,
The other way to export XML would be to use a SWF wrapper such as
mProjector, SWFStudio or (open-source) SWHX: http://www.haxe.org/swhx.
(Zinc is another alternative, but I can't recommend it - I've had all
sorts of stability issues with it.)
Alternatively, Apollo (from Adobe) will
Hi Danny,
An import statement is just a compiler-friendly shortcut. It has no
effect whatsoever on the final code.
Saying:
import com.pkg.fred.Bucket;

var bucket:com.pkg.fred.Bucket=new com.pkg.fred.Bucket();
That's all

Object.registerClass is used all the time in AS2 to connect library
objects to implementing classes - so it's definitely relevant.
Essentially, you use Object.registerClass to tell the system what type
of class should be associated with a clip when it is attached via
attachMovie().
Hi there,
1) You can't make the printer default to landscape, but you can
rotate the clips that you are printing.
2) To make clips not print, either build the clips that you want to
print into a seperate subtree and print the parent clip of that (you
could even do that offscreen) or simply set
