Ok, have another quandry.
I have an explosion class that, among other things creates and stores an
instance of an explosion clip that runs for 5 frames.
Each instance of the explosion class created is in turn attached to an
array (shotExplosions[]).
Explosions are added to the playfield clip
Hello Dan,
if your swfs that are loaded to your main application load the flvs, and
you use a build in FLV-playback component you might just run into a

The component skin uses a relative path which you either have

Hiya, the title sums up my question pretty well. I have a bunch of old swfs
that are published to version 6 and are AS2. I want to load these into a movie
published to v9 and in AS3 or maybe a flex app. Is this possible or do I have
to converrt alll of my code?
Cheers guys,

Thanks for the reply. That didn't work either, though. :-/
Rhetorical question: are styling components easier in AS3? Ugh, all I
want to do is color that outline.
Try the following and omit the new CSSStyleDeclaration():
_global.styles.rectBorderClass.setStyle(borderStyle, solid);
This depends on when the component you're using is instantiated. I don't
think the component will instantiate before the vars. The vars should be
available on the very first frame, meaning they are set before you're even
allowed to execute code...
Does that answer your question?

I'd probably use 3D Max to render the angles that you want, and export the
output as an image sequence rather than a video. Basically you build a
rotating turntable type system in Max - rotating the objects in front of the
camera to get the right angles. If you set this up correctly you can get

You're pretty much there in your answer... you need to move both your
linkage items and Class imports to later frames. Here's how I set
up mine:
- Frame One: Just the pre loading screen (no code yet)
- Frame Two: Import Classes and start preloader
- Frame Three: All Linked Objects

Michael - if the loading happens very fast, then the XML has loaded
_before you've set the onLoad function_.
So change the order:
_root.attachMovie(loading, loading, 10);
xmlData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
// do this when loaded
};
xmlData.load(myUrl);

Once again, Keep It Simple Steven is here to help. ;)
Unless your boss is forcing you to do this in one swf, you should make a
loader swf that loads in the swf with all these linked clips.
Trivial example:
var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(site, this.getNextHighestDepth());
Yes, now it works.. I also tried in dragging all the items into a MovieClip
on the third frame with this action on:
onClipEvent(load) {this.unloadMovie(); delete this;}
in order to get rid of them from the stage, to save resource.
Thanks JC for yer help

You don't need the extra private var. You can do something like this:
public class A extends MovieClip
{
//onthestage_mc is a movieclip manually put in the .fla
private var onthestage_mc:MovieClip;
public function A ():void
{
}
}

Why don't you just attach the class to your movieclip in the library ?
Right-click on the movieclip in the library, click on linkage,
write a linkage id in the class field and write the path to your class in the
base class field.
Example
Class : BlueCircle
BaseClass : project.shapes.Circle

The only way for a client to call a method is for that method to exist
on the Client's object. That's just the way the Flash RPC stuff
works. You can either add it to the Client prototype (which I don't
like) or add it to the client object after they connect (my preferred
way).

Flash starts parsing the XML into an XML object.

Howdy Coders,
I'm in desparate need of some AS3 help. I'm loading a swf with sound
embedded in the timeline into another file thusly:
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(animatio
ns/ANIM_Test4.swf);
var animLoader:Loader = new Loader();
animLoader.load(urlR equest);
I think there's an unload method on Loader, try that.
Or else, create a SoundChannel for your sound instead of putting it on the
timeline and stop it when you remove the loader.

A solution is to convert the image into a textfile which is then used to
draw the image on the screen using bitmap drawing tools.
This, of course, is easily hacked by anybody with a copy of Flash
because they can read your textfile and draw the bitmap themselves.
The next step is to encrypt
