Yes it is. Greensock built an as2 class to do just that thing and then I rebuilt it in as3. Basically it works out the location of certain words and then creates a box around it. You can create whatever you want really as all it is doing is getting the x,y,width and height you need for the

In as2 whenever you wanted to know the heirarchy of the movieclip I would just trace(this) and it would give _level0.mc1.mc2.mc3 etc. How can you achieve that in as3 as it returns the type [object MovieClip] and not its location. I am sure it can be done as it was a very handy thing for whe

I agree and although the occasional job is nice, if only to see what the market is like, I do feel that Beau is starting to use this list as his personal source for flash/flex developers. And what cracks me up even more is that he does not want any recruiters replying to his jobs. Isn't he

I am curious. Why does the Adobe suite not come with Flex. It seems a bit pointless to me. I use the whole of the master suite and flex. It seems to be the only major product Adobe do that is not in the suite. Anyone know why??? M On 25 Sep 2008, at 04:18, Merrill, Jason wrote: Yeah, I g

[Flashcoders] Nightmare flash File with Lots of textfields

Yet again I find myself dealing with someone elses sh*te. Basically compile times are like a million years/5 minutes and I believe it is because some numpty has embedded a million textfields and some of them has all selected to embed fonts - just in case the whole world wants to see it :)

I know the offstage technique but what I want is to load an external swf with the specific font in it. Then use that font in all other swfs. You could do this in as2 by loading in a swf that had a shared library font in it. Bit of a hack but it worked. I cant quite believe Adobe has not add
