I know most applications use sliders; yet, I actually prefer the knobs
that are more realistic. In my opinion, if you are going to make it
look like a knob, it should function like one.
To create them, I think a good way is to track the mouse's x,y and
angle, using the centre of the knob as t
They can. I am just going to roll my own and then maybe release it.
Concentric ring support as well as some other stuff to make it super
flexible. Already wrote the custom events and the base class.

I get the slider idea - makes sense, except for when you want a knob to
revolve as many times as a real one might.
So you don't necessarily always want a min and a max. Operate it like a true
spinning dial and perhaps decrement or increment some kind of value per º
rotated.

real knobs spin forever?
just work it like a slider but update % and position via max/min distance
and maintain the math. 3 rotations is max slider x3. Keeping track of
rotation works but you'll have to calculate for negative rotation.

I think in general, knobs always behave like sliders. Take for example Ableton
Live, a music software which use a lot of knobs, they all behave like sliders.
I think the knobs on the link you were referring to may seem more realistic but

Thats nice, but it works like a slider (manipulated). Looking more for a

Hi Gustavo,
Try this:
var mc:MovieClip = myLoader.content as MovieClip;
mc.stop();
or
MovieClip(myLoader.content).stop();
Either one should work.

The myLoader.content property holds a reference to your loaded clip or
bitmap or whatever it might be.
So try:
(myLoader.content as MovieClip).stop();
(Or, if it's easier to understand:
var myClip:MovieClip=myLoader.content as MovieClip;
myClip.stop();

Hi,
You can do this each time you add text with AS:
//Get the text format before you change the text.
var tf:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat();
myTextField.html = newText;
myTextField.setTextFormat(tf);

Hello guru list,
A basic question. A designer setup a fla file, with a lot of textfields.
He'd adjusted font size, spacing, leading, etc. When I'll use his fla, I

The question and problem is, when I compile and set a text f

Another problem is: even if no listener or code references to these
