Re: [Flashcoders] masking issues
Masking is done in the Flash authoring environment, in my case = CS3. So it's in the timeline. I'd expected that would put it at the bottom. It did in AS2. I'll be working with graphics that artists have laid out. If I can use it rather than replace it, so much the better. - Original Message - From: "Nathan Mynarcik" To: "Flash Coders List" Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2010 8:34 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] masking issues Whatever is added to the stage last by using "addChild" method, will be at the top.

[Flashcoders] multi-touch through JS in Safari on Mac?
I know 10.1 does not have access to the touch API through safari on the Mac; yet, as I don't have a Macbook, or a muti-touch mouse, I was wondering, does the browser, on a Mac, give JS access to the touch API like it does for the iphone? If so, it would be easy to take advantage of it through JS and pass the needed data to as3. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
