Re: [Flashcoders] Advice on how to make a copy of an object

interesting you should say its the same in as3 jese. i take it you are aware of peter halls post on this http://www.peterjoel.com/blog/index.php?archive=2006_02_01_archive.xml#114064012876401732 however that does not work ala as2, since all private members are ignored. (which leaves me to suspect

you could loop through the movieclip, check if the object you are encountering is an instance of bitmapdata and remove them. this could be done in reomvemoveiclip so you know when you remove a movieclip it will be sorted. On 3/15/06, Dimitrios Bendilas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So that means

Re: [Flashcoders] Some Computers Won't Stream MP3 in Flash/I.E.

don't use a .mp3 file as somepoeple have stuff like download accelarator installed which grabs hold of that. rename the file to some arb extension as flash just worries about the header( if it does even about that, but i suspect it will since it needs to know how much iot has to load). On 3/19/06,
