FLVPlayback only supports a subset of SMIL, which bits I'm not sure.
I've asked on the wishlist for a proper SMIL renderer, but who knows
if that will ever happen.
The release notes for the FLVPlayback updater include some info about
fixes to SMIL bugs, though.
Hi all,
I'm using the BitmapData Object to take a snapshot of the pages in my flash
app and it works fine on movieclips without a flv video player inside.
But on of the pages has an movieclip inside it which is playing (streaming) a
flv file and when I try to take a snapshot of this page
I try to put a button in a row of a datagrid for each line of it.
How can I do ??
Thank you

Keep an array of your movie clips and then loop through the array to set

properties (lor_mc ._xscale= frc_mc._xscale) separate from the setting
of generic movie clips (mc._xscale = 300;). Those should be two
separate functions.

If your getScale function is called many times a second you should keep
it the way it is. The way you currently have it is the most efficient
way of doing it and will yield higher FPS.
However, if speed isn't and issue and you are not calling this function

The OO motivation behind using setter (and getters) is that it enforces the

Yes, this does parse it correctly not so much because of the parseXML
step, but because of the nodeValue. I've been using the XPath class to
return my XML by using the selectNodes method. Apparently, this doesn't
parse the xml in the same manner as the nodeValue function does.

I believe most vector drawing tools will let you export/save as SVG. For
