And confirmed you can't get around it with a onKeyDown listener. Everything but Esc appears to be locked out. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/f

Re: [Flashcoders] Fullscreen problem

I'm pretty sure that was a limitation of Full Screen in the docs. I haven't tried it yet, but if you're desperate to keep the full screen, you might see if you can use a Key listener to capture keyboard input and set the text of the text field. If the form's very complex, you may have to inter

Re: [Flashcoders] Keeping XML Objects

I started to come to the same conclusion while writing the previous post -- why use XML if you don't have to. It would probably be better just to create a serialized object directly from the database and deserialize that in Flash. XML's always been the standard, and frankly when starting an app m

[Flashcoders] Keeping XML Objects

Question, and one I think I know the answer to: If I have a configuration XML file for an app, would it be better from a performance standpoint to keep the XML object around as my configuration object, or to pull out the data into a custom object structure (something simple, think object->array o

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 Accessibility Panel Bug?

s will remove the special meaning of " and will be used as a normal character. Eg: Set the .name property to: This is a \"dummy\" test movie I have tested it with Jaws 7.0 and Jaws 8.0 Thanks & Regards Vivek Gaikwad Flash Accessibility Developer www.n-syst.com --

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 Accessibility Panel Bug?

Not sure if this is new, or if I'm just doing something stupid so I'm asking the experts: If you include a "Name" or "Description" property in the Accessibility Panel that includes quotes (" "), the _accProps Object for that MovieClip is not created. Has anyone else seen this? Am I just late to

[Flashcoders] External Interface: Empty Strings Return as "null"

Hey folks, Working on a problem I'm betting there's no solution for. I've got an .swf embedded in a page which exposes several methods using ExternalInterface.addCallback(...), all of which return values. The problem comes in when I return an empty string "". Empty strings are converted to the s

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST

Ugh, it's working, but this whole situation, and the solution, makes no sense. I started testing this with ethereal to monitor the requests, and a combination of ethereal and the server logs showed some pretty odd behavior. Ethereal and IE/FF showed a POST request for the testing.php, with the

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST

This just gets weirder and weirder. Based on a few pages found in google with people having the same issue, I tried switching out sendAndLoad() with send(), and the data gets posted. Switch it back to sendAndLoad() and it fails. I've reduced this code to the simplest possible, in the PHP and the

[Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST

I feel like I'm losing my mind here with this error: I've been hitting the archives and google repeatedly, and not having any luck with a solution. I'm trying to use sendAndLoad(..., ..., "POST") and having no luck. GET seems to work, but not POST. I've been viewing the results with FlashBug to t
