If it wont be a problem, make wmode = transparent for the swf. Will help.
But there are a few bugs with flash plugin player (FF, Mozilla etc), related
to wmode. I've made a few posts about it in my blog before. Check out
http://arulprasad.googlepages.com/divOverFlash.rar
That rar archive has a html which shows a SWF and clicking on the first
circular button shows a DIV on top of the SWF. clickign the button below tat
hides it.
I confirmed it works on Flash player 7, 8, and 9.
check it out.

If its mx.core.UIObject's destroyObject that you are talking about,
destroyObject takes the instanceName of the object, not the instance
reference. you'll just have to pass the instance name as a string.
So, your code should look somethng like:

Just to be on the safer side, thats all :)
Try this:
add a trace each in the constructor and the onLoad. And test your movie.
You'll see that the constructor gets called even before onLoad.
Now,
just where you do a trace(myHtml) try tracing

just in case that textfield isnt accesible in that path you've coded in ...

createClassObject and createObject (and a few more) methods are defined in
the mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions class, and are added to MovieClip's
prototype when UIObjectExtensions gets 'initialized'. This happens, if you
have a UIComponent in your library. So createClassObject method will work,

Adobe Flash CS3 is Flash 9 Professional. ( there is no Flash 'basic'

Its a complete version. Not just Flash 8 with AS3. Flash CS3 comes with
quiet a lot of new features. AS3 being one of the most important( developer
) feature. I saw a comprehensive list of features here:
Looks like you are not waiting for the data to be loaded into your SWF
before you split.
Try using LoadVars and wait for the onLoad event, and then do a split.
something like:
var _lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
_lv.load(FlashMenuLoader.asp);
var my_array:Array;
_lv.onLoad = function ()
{
1. May be coz you never really created the XML object. You'll need to define
the XML object as well, not just declare the variable.
2. Try using the Delegate class. Its pretty useful in avoiding confusions.
Now the code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class XMLoader {
private var
If stripping off all html from an input textfield is what you are looking
for,
You will be able to do this in a simple process: I'll put in a lil function
in here:
function stripHTML(input:String):String
{
var util_txt:TextField = _root.createTextField(util_txt,
_root.getNextHighestDepth(),
The flash player can go fullscreen only if the html tag for including the
flash object sets a param to allow it to go fullscreen.
In the publish settings window in html tab, you'll see a 'flash with full
screen' html template. Use that template and publish ur html. That should
help.
~Arul Prasad.
E4X can be used for external xml files too.
Your problem might be a namespace issue I blogged abt a couple of days back
?

Don't bother about the jabber part in the post, just look for the namespace

Importing excel data - One thing you can do is, save your excel sheet as a

If you had the sound imported into your library, assigned a linkage ID, and
