[Flashcoders] Anyone really fluid with LoadVars() - external txt problem.

2007-07-15 Thread Paul V.
This is a complex problem, with a simple solution I suspect. Doing some AS2 training, which I have to say feels like a whole different language sometimes to AS. Problem in brief: I have a master swf. -- It is loading an external swf -- that external swf has a dynamic text field --

I ran into the same problem, it happens because of the rescaling of the line width. As far as I know flash doesn't maintain the line you are resizing at its set numerical value. See, you are really rescaling the whole movieClip, in your case I think you said it was a rectangle. What I ended

Not sure if it will work at all, but what about if you try this, put your swf in a div layer, and test putting another flash swf overlapping that, see how i.e likes it, that will let you know if it can be done. If you get non erroneous results from that, (i.e it actually chooses a layer and puts

Hi, I am not an expert, but from what I have read. Private variables, don't need to be declared, so if you don't need them outside the function, or event I think you can keep things neat by not declaring them at all until you assign them. And non-static variables, (dynamic variables) I would
