Hello Flashcoders!
I've got a little problem on my hands.

and I have run out of Work Area space to place my scrolling pictures

Is there any way to expand the work area in flash 8 or to work around

You probably just need some content in your _root!

of the MovieClip, even of _root.
For better understanding: If you have a filled circle as movieClip,
onPress events work only within the circle, not in the corners of

Not much you can do if you need more than the 2880 max stage size.
Sounds like you need to move to actionscript based animation...

My 0.2,
Basically it really depends on what are they doing. Say you have a
player or main movie. You're tipically going to load different movies
or sections on it. And you want all sections to have a common list of
public properties and methods. Define that list and make it an
interface.
Yes. Pretty much exactly as you describe it.
interface ITheInterface
{
blah
}
class ClassA extends MovieClip implements ITheInterface
{
blah
}
should work fine.

Unless you start using one-time key encryption or something, I'd

Hi,
I've got a template-based e-learning application which plays a dynamic
mp3 voiceover file (typically around 200k in size) once a screen has
loaded.
The problem I've got is that on a few screens, the audio more often than
not cuts off before it has finished - in a random place each time.
Hi Paul,
Does your screen length (time) affect the sound or is it the sound that
determines the length of a screen ? Firsthand, it sounds like a synch
problem to me. Is there any other places where you call stopAllSounds() or
playSound() ? This might as well affect the cut off.
