There are a couple of things that might cause PHP to send extra
characters with your text. Try clearing the Output Buffer before
generating any HTTP headers and sending text via PHP. That has worked
for me in the past.

MoveNetworks and copied/borrowed/stolen by others, without getting too

Is there a way to display a Flash movie above an embedded Windows Media Player

Thanks.

Scratch that. Setting the wmode to window works just fine.

I can't figure this out.
I can set up a for...in loop to show me all the (enumerable) properties --
variables and functions -- on the MovieClip instance where I place the loop,

simply changing the focus object of that

trace(otherProp + : + subObject[otherProp]);

It should look like that, but not horrible.

I made a couple of glossary-type applications that use the same kind of anchor

You need to capture (into an array, or similar) the number of the last occupied

Since the onRollOver state of clip A is being
