Hello :) if you use Macromedia's V2 components, the Button component don't have over and out event you must override the class and add your custom events. EKA+ :) 2006/10/14, dnk [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi there - this is probably a simple question, but... I have been using

he's not describing dropping of framerate, he's describing that he can no longer drag the ship around: But when I use swfObject to publish it, it starts droping the drag of the ship. when he uses swfObject, he looses that functionality. It's not a performance question, its a functionality

can't this be done with intrinsics? Ray, an interface does not include variables, so this example looks more like an Abstract class. intrinsic class Circle { var radius:Number; function Circle(radius:Number); function getArea():Number; function getDiameter():Number; function

Hi Ray, Yes - but why would you, if the language spec already supports interfaces? Using interfaces is a much more 'standard' way (i.e. the same sort of thing you'd do if you were talking to dynamic libraries in other languages). I still see intrinsics as a bit of a hack. These classes are

Scott, To me, an abstract class is one which has a partial - but incomplete - implementation i.e. you should never find yourself writing new SomeAbstractClass() - you should only ever be creating objects derived from it. The abstract class contains some useful re-usable stuff, but can't function

Ian, That being the case, I can't quite see how intrinsics apply, as by their nature they include no implementation at all. Ah, good point. I just got excited when I saw that variable in there. It is one step closer to abstract. Oddly, in AS3 Macrodobe have taken out the facility to mark

First off, my apologies to Victor for being snooty in my previous reply. That was not a good way to handle it, but I was annoyed because I'd taken the time to look at both pages, look at the html code (which was presumably the thing that was causing the swf to break), and offer a suggestion.

Yes! It does fix the problem. Thanks very much! Now let me expalin why I didn't just try it and then reply back. Normally I would have done so and I did change the code but my FTP client (WSFTP) on this machine just stops working after about 4 hours and I have to re-boot. I was lazy and

Victor, You are exactly right about the purpose of WMODE, and your HTML guy should be taking the opposite approach: always leave it off (which by default sets it to false) unless you need it. And know that it still doesn't work on some browsers. Glad to get this problem solved. BTW, WSFTP

Hi, I'm mainly a coder, with some experience on the arts side as well. I've got a site where I need to be able to set and clear a bunch of intervals dynamically. It's a visualization application which involves node-link graphs with a potentially large number of nodes, and in which you can
