I find it rather bizarre that people feel that it's necessary to beat a drum about this. I doubt that Adobe are sitting back on the issues raised. The thread has the Air of an hysterical mob. It's amazing how so many people have produced fantastic systems using Actionscript 3 in spite of the

When you call a recursive function from outside of itself and the function returns, then it's finished. //definition function traceMe(n) { if (n=5) { trace(This is the +n+th time that the function is run.); traceMe(n+1); trace(End of the +n+th function.); } } // call traceMe(1); // It's

You're already using inheritance, but probably should be using interfaces, which would allow you to add the tracer method to any class regardless of it's inheritance MyClass implements tracer rather than MyClass extends TracingClass. I can't help but wonder if you're confusing a class having

[Flashcoders] Powerpoint to swf

2008-05-29 Thread Paul Andrews
What are my best options for encoding individual slides (the complete presentation) to separates swfs? Would my options change if the controlling code were in As2 or AS3? Currently I realise that loading a converted AS2 swf into an AS3 project won't allow me to pause the swf mid-flight.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex or Flash better for this?

Flex mxml is compiled into a swf and that is run - the mxml is not normally deployed, so dynamic updating of mxml is not normally done (there are server-side solutions to do that, but I wouldn't recommend them). Given what you've said about your application, unless you are able to use the

[Flashcoders] AS 2.0 (AS 3.0) question - knowing when a MovieClip is on it's last frame.

2008-05-30 Thread Paul Andrews
AS2.0 question: I have some AS2.0 swfs supplied to me (generated by captivate) that are loaded as part of my application. Unfortunately they don't have a stop() on the last frame, so they loop. Fortunately they are completely linear, so they play through from start to finish (and over again).

Thanks Glenn - I wan't worried about using the frame count, I just wondered if there was another mechanism I hadn't thought of. Unfortunately, I don't think this is acheivable from AS3 - it won't have access to control the AS2.0 clips timeline. Paul - Original Message - From: Glen
