1. I use the Loader component exclusively, just because of its inherent callback methods. It's much easier to code for than using createEmptyMovieClip and all that stuff. 2. _lockroot, when set to true for a particular movieclip, specifies that _root refers to its _root as opposed to referring

My first thought was an adjacency list with something to indicate forbidden edges (for a dot inside a cycle), so it might help. The problem isn't that simple though, as more and more moves are made whose in what cycle and can make waht move is a good deal less than clear. On 5/12/06, André

All, I'm reading a SMIL file, and it has regions with - in an attribute name (z-index). Obviously, if I refer to the attrib explicitly, like XMLnode.attributes.z-index, it'll read that as a minus. Should I use XMLNode.attributes[z-index]? Is this kosher? Thanks! -g

I would use the XPath for AS2 class from xfactorstudio.com. This will allow you to do a much more elegant retrieval of the attribute in question. TF On 5/12/06, Rifled Cloaca [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I'm reading a SMIL file, and it has regions with - in an attribute name (z-index).

refreshPane reloads the content of the pane. This is different than it used to be in Flash MX. The undocumented way to to refresh the contents of the pane is: sp.setScrollProperties(sp.content._width, 1, sp.content._height, 1); That doesn't help with your issue of text not appearing, though.
