When I change the alpha of a movie clip, the alpha of static text inside the clip remains at 100%. It looks just fine within Flash, but in the Player it stays at 100%. I'm using MX04. Thanks. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subs

Totally weird. If I change my static text fields to #dynamic and embed the characters then the alpha works. This is exactly the opposite of what it says in this article here: http://www.connectedpixel.com/blog/fonts/embedding What the heck? Andrew Sinning wrote: When I change the alpha

I've created a TitleBackground movieClip by following the instructions in the MX04 online help "To set the title of an Window component to a custom movie clip symbol" (below). Now I'd like to make a call to a function inside of that clip or access properties within that clip directly. The windo

e header, you'll need to have a movieclip (instance name 'title_mc') that contains a textfield (instance name 'text') inside your custom TitleBackground. The textfield might get affected by the stretching of the TitleBackground though, so not sure how well this will work out

Sounds like a good exe shell for Flash, but it requires an exe, i.e. Admin rights. The advantage of Java is that end users in corporate and other environments can typically run Java apps without Admin rights. Steven Sacks wrote: mProjector Andrew Sinning wrote: What are the options for

How can I "load in a schema that has a CDATA node" if AS2 doesn't support it? Where do I get the valid schema? In theory, the following is creating an xml object with a CDATA node, but it doesn't appear to work: var xmlRecord = new XML(""); var child = xmlRecord.firstChild; trace("nodeType :

if Flash would save directly as SVG (does Flash CS3?) your workflow would include using SVG. ;-) You're probably right about old Illustrator format. It is near to be human readably though, isn't it? At least it is (well) documented. You might want to ask Burak (the ASV Guy) yourself, what A
