Hey Flashers, I'm working with SWFObject 2.2 using the expressInstall.swf that comes with the package. I understand that the swf is loading in another swf from an adobe server which is the actual express install. My problem is that when it loads, it loads at a larger dimension than I can handle a

Hi Ian, The backend shouldn't care about element order. :-) Thanks for the support on that - I would agree, think the coder is being a bit lazy here. //I was looking at doing something like: if(params){ var keys:Array = new Array(); for each (var key:String in obj) { keys.push(key

Re: [Flashcoders] XML element order

2009-08-27 Thread Ian Thomas
Glen, The backend shouldn't care about element order. :-) That'd be my take on it, if you're just using the XML to exchange a simple set of properties rather than (say) using it to present a structured document where the order is crucial to how it's read. If you _do_ care about the order

Re: [Flashcoders] empty XML Attributes..

2009-08-27 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto
I think that's not exactly correct. You can use "@" to access non-existence attributes but cannot use it for filtering. With the OP example, trace(_co...@instance); ...should not generate an error but you'd get an error with: trace(_conf.(@instance == "boo")); ...so instead this should be us

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. That returns something (an empty XMLList, I believe). The best way to test for attribute existence and/or if it has a value is what I wrote. Glen Pike wrote: Thanks for the answers with the length() thing - I tried out a few of those and got working thing

I don't think you can centre text in a TextField vertically - the x property will be there because you can centre it horizontally. There is a 2 pixel "gutter" around the text field, there may also be horizontal margins: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/Text
