RE: [Flashcoders] Reusing an Image
Hi. :) I'm not sure if this could be an issue in your situation or not - or if you already have it taken care of - but it came up on a project I worked on recently and I thought I'd mention it: If you are loading the images from a different domain than the one that the Flash file is on, you have to set the context property of the Loader class when you call the load() method. For example: image_loader.load(new URLRequest(image_url), new LoaderContext(true)); This will cause the Loader to check for a cross domain policy file on the image file's server. You have make a crossdomain.xml file which gives access permissions to the Flash file's server and place it in the root folder of the image file's server, or just add the Flash file's server if the image file's server already has a cross domain policy file. You should be able to load the image if you skip setting the Loader's context and setting up the cross domain policy, but when you try to access it's bitmap data you'll get a Security error. -- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Developer amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 370 King Street West, 5th Floor, Box 4 Toronto Canada M5V 1J9 P (416) 364-1455 ext. 232 F (416) 364-9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

[Flashcoders] Detecting if fullscreen is or is not allowed
Hi. :) I am building an AS3 video player and would like to remove the full screen button from the stage if the allowFullScreen parameter in the HTML embed code for the movie was not set to true. But I've not been able to find out how to check if the Flash is allowed to go full screen or not. Surely there's a parameter set somewhere in the Flash with that info? I've been searching through the LangRef and have googled about it, but I've not been able to find where this parameter is hidden. It's probably so simple that I'll feel very stupid for not figuring it out... -.- -- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Developer amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 370 King Street West, 5th Floor, Box 4 Toronto Canada M5V 1J9 P (416) 364-1455 ext. 232 F (416) 364-9830 W www.delvinia.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] AIR HTMLLoader mouse events not working
Hi. I'm not certain why HTMLLoader's event isn't firing, but you could track if the app is or is not being interacted with via NativeApplication, like this: private const IDLE_TIME:uint = 120; // set us up the user idle detection NativeApplication.nativeApplication.idleThreshold = IDLE_TIME; NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.USER_IDLE, userIdleHandler); You can also track an event for when the user begins interacting with the app after it has been left idle: NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.USER_PRESENT, userPresentHandler); I used this on a touch screen kiosk app that we use at Delvinia in place of a receptionist.

RE: [Flashcoders] FLV Conversion
I think that the best method for converting an FLV would depend on what the purpose of the new video file is. However any conversion from one format to another will involve a loss of quality as you recompress video data that's already been though at least one round of compression when it was turned into an FLV. One thing that might work is to extract the video and audio streams and then mux them into an MKV container, so that you can avoid recompressing the streams. I'm not sure what the point behind that would be though as any player that can run the resulting MKV is probably also able to play FLVs. -[a]- -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of William Chadwick Sent: September-02-10 6:55 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV Conversion What's the best application to use to convert .flv files to MP4 or other video formats?

RE: [Flashcoders] Link text indexes in a TextField
Good morning.
I came up with a solution, it's not elegant but it works:
1) Break up the HTML into an array of chunks of code based on where the
links occour. So this:
[p]Lorem ipsum [a href=event:block1]dolor sit[/a] amet.[/p]
Gets turned into this:
blocks[0] = [p]Lorem ipsum
blocks[0] = [a href=event:block1]dolor sit[/a]
blocks[0] = amet.[/p]
2) Go through that array of chunks, concatenating each chunk with the chunks
before it and plugging the results into the TextField. Force it to render
(validateNow();) each time and use the previous and current length of the
text property to determine the beginning and ending indices of each chunk.
3) For any chunks containing a link, save the link's URL and indices into an
array. ie:
link_props[0] = {name:block1, begin:12, end:21}
4) When a link is clicked use the text property of the TextEvent.LINK
event to get at the indices for that link in the array.
Thank you for helping. :)

RE: [Flashcoders] gapless looping of external mp3's
This might work to achieve gapless looping: Once you've loaded the audio assets (an mp3 file, swf file library assets, etc.), copy the raw sound data into a ByteArray. Then to play it back you create a duplicate of that ByteArray and feed it to a new Sound object when it throws it's SampleDataEvent event. Once you've used up the ByteArray, duplicate it again and keep feeding it to the Sound object. I've been messing around with this, off and on, for a while to try and loop a simple sine wave audio data that I've generated.

A flood of mobile devices with hardware and interfaces that are as powerful and intuitive, or more so, than the iPhone and iPad, has begun.

Purely because it's not in Apple's perceived business interest to do so. That's the only reason. There are various technical-sounding excuses given - poor performance, poor quality for cross-platform apps - but that's all BS. Apple makes money from the App Store. Allowing Flash detracts from the value of the App Store. Allowing developers to use cross-platform tools detracts from the value of the App Store; if I can build an app for Apple and Android simultaneously, the App Store has less of an advantage over the Android Market. I think its time for Apple and Adobe to zip up the 'ol pants and get to making things work for the people who one program for their devices and two for the customers to enjoy that variety. Just sayin.. Apple has no incentive to zip up their pants. This strategy makes it likely they'll get (and keep) a big pile of money. Adobe would like to pull their pants up, since Apple didn't even kiss them first, but there's really nothing they can do short of a lawsuit, and I doubt that'll be successful in any case. Apple can make up whatever ridiculous rules they want, as they only have a small slice of the mobile market. They're not a monopoly by a long shot. Heh, then you can pitch a HTML 5 version to them and maybe have a script that tells if its a iPhone and switches to the HTML5 preview. There's only one problem, really. HTML 5 kind of sucks. And it's certainly no replacement for native apps. Web apps don't have access to most of the good stuff in the phone - contacts, etc. Anyone seen a market study on how many jailbroken iPhones there are? Be interesting to see. No, but interestingly there is an alternative app store called Cydia for jailbroken phones. But jailbreaking is not an alternative if you really want to sell your apps.

RE: [Flashcoders] and now..CLIENT now hates Flash
It may be helpful to discuss with clients something that we should always be doing when developing Flash web apps anyway; alternative content. And I mean giving the non-Flash user something more than just a link to download the Flash plugin. To respond to client concerns and provide a great user experience I think we'll be devoting more time and budget to building a non-Flash alternative, using whatever technology is appropriate, that provides a similar user experience to what we build in the Flash. Which of course will raise the question, Why create a Flash version in the first place? I think the answer to that will continue to be the reasons we've been using it all along: - gorgeous timeline based and programatic animation - video audio, these won't be going away just because you can do it another way.. and when you can integrate video audio with Flash's other capabilities, there's nothing else that can compete right now - a rich API that provides powerful integration with the web and desktop, which also makes it adaptable to whatever need the client wakes up with tomorrow - you can create a seamless exerience regardless of your target software and hardware platform (except for a few *ahem* exceptions). - a massive user share that I expect will continue to grow when v10.1 drops - a similarly massive developer base, including many open-source projects providing even more depth to the API - integration with Adobe's other products, and I don't believe that any of those will be dropping out of the market any time soon. In short, I think that developing richer alternate content (black white) could be that little bit of shugar that helps a fearful client swallow the big Flash pill (kodachrome). :) (ps: Yes, I know I spell 'shugar' incorrectly.) -- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Developer amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 370 King Street West, 5th Floor, Box 4 Toronto Canada M5V 1J9 P (416) 364-1455 ext. 232 F (416) 364-9830 W www.delvinia.com -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of artur Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 11:55 AM To: flashcoders Subject: [Flashcoders] and now..CLIENT now hates Flash from my client ( an established design agency in NYC ): artur, I've been doing a lot of research and polling of colleagues. *Here's my takeaway:* - no one knows what's going on - flash developers I've spoken to all are saying it's no big deal, proceed with flash - all designers are making an abrupt shift away from flash, steering their clients as a result - clients are questioning flash even without prompting - media has called for the death of it I think the answer is that Flash will need to change ASAP, or else I can't recommend it without looking like an ignoramus to clients.

[Flashcoders] Dynamically set Sound's length..?
Hello.
I'm experimenting with playing generated sounds in Flash, and I have a
question: What is the duration, in milliseconds, of a sound's playback when
I write a pair of Floats to the data property of its SampleDataEvent
event?
For example, here's some sample code from the Adobe LangRef, which plays a
continuous tone:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.events.SampleDataEvent;
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
function sineWaveGenerator(event:SampleDataEvent):void {
for ( var c:int=0; c8192; c++ ) {
event.data.writeFloat(Math.sin((Number(c+event.position)/Math.PI/2))*0.25);
event.data.writeFloat(Math.sin((Number(c+event.position)/Math.PI/2))*0.25);
}
}
mySound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA,sineWaveGenerator);
mySound.play();
Exactly how long will each of the 8,192 Float pairs, added every time the
SampleDataEvent fires, play for? I've tried checking mySound's length
property, and it always returns as 0, but I'm pretty sure it only gets set
from the ID3 data when loading an MP3 file.
Thank you. :)

This was a problem for me as well, in Firefox on WinXP. I was on Facebook and when I tried to play a TopGear video it asked me to update my player.. I had been using a debug v10 player, but the previous release. I was taken to the Adobe site, clicked on an install it now button and suddenly I was installing the Adobe download manager and, without even asking me or giving me the ability to cancel, it installed McAfee antivirus scanner as well. The one thing I wanted, the updated plugin, never installed. Probably because I, in irritation, killed the download manager and then wasted my time uninstalling it and McAfee. I ended up downloading a new version of the debug plugin and installing from my hard drive. Not exactly a great end-user experience.

Thank you anyway. :) Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

Hello Matt. :) Yes, it's a Type1 font. .pfm So Flash only allows the embedding of True Type (.ttf) fonts then? Okay.

Good morning. (Well.. it's morning here anyway.) I'm having problems with creating a font .swf file, to use for sharing a font between some Flash movies. One of the fonts I want to embed is Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Medium. In the font .swf's FLA file I'm trying to embed it like this: [Embed( systemFont=Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk, fontName=AkzidenzMedOTF, fontStyle=Medium, mimeType=application/x-font, unicodeRange=U+0021-U+00FF )] var akzidenz_otf:Class; Font.registerFont(akzidenz_otf); And I keep getting the error: exception during transcoding: Font for alias 'AkzidenzOTF' with plain weight and style was not found by family name 'Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk' I'm working in WindowsXP, Flash CS4 and it's a Type1 font. I've tried various settings for the fontWeight and fontStyle and nothing seems to affect this error. I've also tried not using systemFont and instead setting the source path in the Embed to C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/gfm_.pfm, which is this font's source file on my machine, and it throws the same error.

What I'd like to do is have a Flash piece which goes full screen,
then at some points in the user's interaction with it
there may be a

in
this Flash piece. The user would then have the option to
view the

Currently whenever I load a video player into a full screen

the video jumps to full screen the moment it loads.

[Flashcoders] Does Flash fire any event(s) when...
Hi. :) I was wondering if a .swf embedded in a web page fires and event(s) when... 1) ...the user navigates away from the page. 2) ...the user closes the browser window. I doubt that it does but thought I'd check with the experts here first.

[Flashcoders] Full screen video in a full screen Flash..?
Hello. :) Is there a way to have a full screen Flash (not a video) which has a video player in it, without having the video itself jump to full screen? What I'd like to do is have a Flash piece which goes full screen, then at some points in the user's interaction with it there may be a video player in this Flash piece. The user would then have the option to view the video full screen within the already full screen Flash piece. Currently whenever I load a video player into a full screen non-video Flash the video jumps to full screen the moment it loads.

RE: [Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before itvisuallyrenders?
Hi again. :) It's not a load-time problem that I'm dealing with. It's after they've loaded and been displayed to the user. The animation occours when the user is interacting with them. 1) user clicks on one of the loaded swf files 2) swf file begins animating, changing it's height and width 3) in response to the changing height/width the swf files get moved to new positions The problem I'm having is that the swf file has to render first, before I can access it's new height and width in order to calculate where to move it to. Which is causing juddering as the swf initially renders in the wrong position, gets moved, and then renders in the wrong position again, etc. until the animation is completed. You might be onto something there with calling invalidate. Perhaps I can use that to get the new height and width before it renders. I'll give it a whirl...

YES!!! It works! Doing a stage.invalidate() in the loaded .swf file, then listening for it's RENDER event before running the script to position the loaded .swf files. The height and width properties in the loaded .swf are updated to the new ones and accessable to the loading .swf Sweet.

[Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before it visually renders?
Hi all. I'm loading several .swf files into another .swf, to produce a horizontal bar of clickable icons. The loaded .swf files animate, changing their size, when they are clicked on. I've written a script in the loading .swf that positions the loaded .swfs in the scrollbar, but by the time it can access the height and width properties of the loaded .swf files they have already visually rendered. (I'm currently using an Event.ENTER_FRAME to trigger the script that positions the loaded .swf files.) This is causing a juddering in the scrollbar as the loaded swf files are rendering visually before the positioning script accesses their height and width and then position them, turning it into a two step process: 1) icon movie clip changes size and renders, 2) scrollbar script repositions the icon movie clips What I'd like to do is access the height and width of the loaded swf files before they visually render so that I can get them into the correct positions before the visual render occours. Turn it into a one step process: icon movie clip changes size and then they are all repositioned by the scrollbar script. I've tried creating an Event.RENDER within the loaded .swf files to trigger the script in the loading swf to position the icons, but the loaded swf files never seem to fire a render event while it's animating. I'm not even sure what I want to do is possible as the loaded swfs may not have their new height/width before they have visually rendered. Thoughts..?

RE: [Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before it visuallyrenders?
Hi. And thank you. :) I'll have a closer look at this tomorrow.. but.. I'm not sure what the purpose of it is. At first glance it just seems to allow access to the properties of the loaded SWF file, which I already have. It's the timing of animation event, the updating of the swf's properties, and the swf visually rendering that I'm having a problem with. Basically I want to have access to it's new hight/width before it visually renders, so that I can reposition it. Kinda doubting that's possible though. -[a]- -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Matt Muller Sent: January 10, 2009 02:43 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before it visuallyrenders? http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/se nocular/utils/SWFReader.as On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Andrew Murphy amur...@delvinia.com wrote: Hi all.

[Flashcoders] Problem with Forward and Rewind Buttons in FLVPlayback component
Hello. I'm building a simple video player in Flash CS3 using the FLVPlayback component and the SkinUnderAllNoFullNoCaption skin. I can't seem to get the Forward and Rewind buttons to work. I've created an .flv, using the Flash Video Encoder, which includes a cue point every 10 seconds, but when I click the Forward and Rewind buttons it only skips to the very beginning or end of the flv. I've checked the FLVPlayback component's metadata and it does indeed have the cue points once the video has loaded.

RE: [Flashcoders] Disabling Print Screen key
The company I work for does online surveys (amongst other things) and they can include showing people images of proposed products/campaigns/etc. A client asked if we can keep our panelists from keeping copies. Our response has been, No. But we can make it a little more difficult. So they asked us to research any means for making it more difficult that we could come up with. I couldn't think of any way to get around the Print Screen key, so I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone else had done it.

if (contains(texthtml, cueArray) == -1) {
...otherwise you're comparing the string value texthtml rather than
the value of the texthtml String variable.

Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the problem, which makes me think I
have an additional problem elsewhere (see below). Here's what I see
when I play past cue point 1:
Cue Point 1
But if I review it and play it again I get this:
Cue Point 1
Cue Point 1 and so on...
In other words, it's as if it's just adding the last cue point every time.
:(
I suspect there's something hokey with the way I'm treating my array?
Here's the relevant code:
vidList.cuePoint = function(cues) {
texthtml = (p)+cues.info.name;
if (cues.info.type == event) {
if (contains(texthtml, cueArray) == -1) {
len = cueArray.length;
cueArray[len] = texthtml;
var len2 = cueArray.length;
mainText.htmlText = ;
for (var i = 0; ilen2; i++) {
mainText.htmlText +=
b+cueArray[i]+/bbr;
}
}
}
};
caption_flvp.addEventListener(cuePoint, vidList);

RE: [Flashcoders] Basic loop problem (with end of message)
Whenever you want to out put the array you wipe the htmlText before you run
the output loop:
mainText.htmlText = ;
for(var i:uint = 0; i cueArray.length; ++i) {
mainText.htmlText += b + cueArray[i] + /b;
}
This might be a bit inefficient, setting the .htmlText repeatedly would, I
suspect, fire a lot of HTML class events. So it might be better to have a
separate String variable that you set first and then fire at the HTML
instance:
// init the string
var html2render:String;
// displaying the cueArray
html2render = ;
for(var i:uint = 0; i cueArray.length; ++i) {
html2render += b + cueArray[i] + /b;
}
mainText.htmlText = html2render;

Thanks to everyone for your help. This gets me closer to what I'm looking
for.
Unfortunately, there's a complicating factor: if the user scrubs across the
same point in the video again, they end up with duplicates/triplicates of
the list.
Since we actually want people to do this, I'm looking for a solution that
will replace the existing text with the full array on each cuePoint event.
I thought that my original code would do this - unless there's a better way
of achieving this?
Hope this makes sense and thanks again.

RE: [Flashcoders] Basic loop problem (with end of message)
Whoops. Been working in AIR for too long; whenever I see .htmlText property
being set I thoughtlessly assume it's the HTML class. .
Still.. I should think the same would apply; that it'd be worthwhile to
avoid hammering on the TextField's .htmlText property by setting it within
the output loop.

RE: [Flashcoders] Basic loop problem (with end of message)
I'm afraid I don't understand some of your code; my direct experience with
using cuepoints isn't up-to-date. Havn't used it in a couple of years. .
But there is one part of your code that might be off:
if (contains(texthtml, cueArray) == -1) {
Shouldn't it be:
if (contains(texthtml, cueArray) == -1) {
...otherwise you're comparing the string value texthtml rather than the

RE: [Flashcoders] filmmering FLV playback - why and how to fix that
I can't see all of the details of how the video is encoded (FLV MetaData Viewer has a bug that keeps it from displaying some .flv file's data) but this is what I can see in FLV Player: Dimensions: 694 x 440 Framerate: 25fps Audio codec ID: 2 (which means it's an MP3) Audio datarate: 96 kbits/s (also the audio sounds stereo to me...) Video codec ID: 4 (which means it's On2 VP6) Video datarate: 400 kbits/s The main issue that's likely causing the stuttering is the constant motion throught the frame area. In my own video work I've been able to reduce that by bumping up the keyframe rate, but that of course will increase the file size and probably the workload on someone's CPU when it's played. I'd experiment with reducing the frame rate to something like 15 fps, give it a keyframe rate of one every 5 frames, convert the audio to mono and try tweaking the datarates of the video and the audio to get a good balance of visual quality and CPU bandwidth use. If your encoder software lets you set how many passes it makes during video encoding you can set it to use two passes, which can improve visual quality at lower video datarates. I hope that helps... ^_^ (ps: That's a delightful looking home. :D) Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

Hi. Im drag-n-dropping an object from one Tree component to another one. Sometimes when I have an item dragged over the second Tree, ready to drop, the dern thing starts scrolling.. usually upwards.. making it much more challenging to drop the item in the right place. It also sometimes gets stuck scrolling, up or down, even when the mouse pointer is no long over the Tree. If the mouse exits from the top of the Tree it scrolls up, if it exits from the bottom it scrolls down.. I can get it to flip back and forth by moving the mouse over it.. but havnt found any way to stop the scrolling except by exiting the application and re-starting it.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Loading .html as a String variable
Not necessary -- you can just use the LoadVars.onData event function.
data:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
data.onData = function(source:String):Void {
// Do stuff with the raw string data (source).
}
data.load(someURL);
Normally onData calls onLoad, but, if you overwrite it per the above code,
onLoad will never fire.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Remove elements from Array
-
Hi everyone,
I'm having a braindead moment today, which I was hoping someone could help
me with.
I have the following array...
//Create array with 5 elements
var myArray1:Array = new Array();
myArray1.push( new Array(A:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(B:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(C:, 0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(D:, 0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(E:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(F:, 1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(G:, 0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(H:, -1) );
//name, score
...and I'm trying to remove all the elements in myArray1 with a score of
less than 0 without sorting/reordering the array at all.
I was trying to use a 'for loop', but obviously as the elements are removed,
the length of the array changes causes the wrong elements to be deleted.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi. Does anyone know of any good, clearly written and thorough guides for building Flash for distribution on the PSP (Playstation Portable)?

[Flashcoders] Faking 3D perspective of a 2D map in Flash 8..?
Hello. I'm trying to take a vector map of North America and produce the sense of 'flying over' it. I want to have the flat map tipped along the X axis, so that the bottom (Florida, Texas, etc.) appear closer and the top (Nunuvut, Greenland, etc.) appear farther away. Then I want to be able to pan the map left and right, up and down, and 'zoom' in by scaling it.. scaling it a little faster vertically so that it seems to flatten out a bit as you get closer to the ground. So far I've only been able to achieve that in Illustrator and then saving the perspectively squished vectors as a .swf What I'd love to do is to get that perspective squish done within Flash 8 using script. I know about 3D program extensions for Flash like Sandy, but I find them cryptic (at best) and over kill for my simple needs. Any suggestions..? Thanks. :) - - - - - - - - - -[andrew murphy]- flash developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] delvinia interactive inc. 214 king street west, suite 214 toronto canada M5H 3S6 voice 416.364.1455 ext. 232 cell 416.820.8723 fax 416.364.9830 www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

[Flashcoders] Aliased text
Hello. :) I'm having an aliasing problem with a dynamically created Text Field. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Create the Text Field. 2) Create a Text Format object for the Text Field, defining things like the 'font' and 'color'. 3) Put copy into the Text Field. 4) setTextFormat on the Text Field, using the created Text Format. Problem is that I'm getting aliased text in the text field, so it looks quite jaggy. What I want to do, eventually, is to allow the user to select whatever font they want the Text Field to display in, from the list of fonts on their computer. But really funky fonts will look terrible if I can't get them antialiased. So far I've had no luck in figuring out how to turn antialiasing on for a dynamically created Text Field like this. - - - - - - - - - -[andrew murphy]- flash developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
