Re: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreeme nt Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
Nobody can build a business on the basis of software that contravenes the licence agreement. It would be folly to do so. I expect (but don't know) that Adobe will pull the iPhone cross-compilation system from CS5. On 12 April 2010 at 11:43 Karl DeSaulniers k...@designdrumm.com wrote: For those interested.

Adobe made a statement right after the new Apple agreement came out last week that they wouldn't do that - and on Kevin Lynch's blog, he said they are still planning on launching CS5 with that export to iPhone feature, and it's up to Apple to change the policy. It's difficult ground. If I buy CS5 with iPhone export, I expect to be able to legitimately use it. Where does that leave Adobe if they sell me something I can't legitimately use?

[Flashcoders] AS2 what am I missing?
I am working back down memory lane in AS2. I have a layer with a MovieClip A and some others below (actually it's pixelwits flipping book). I make A visible and it obscures everything below. Perfect.. except that some movieclips with release handlers on the layers below are operating and I can click on my visible MC and have the event handler from a lower layer fire. I would think that my depths were mixed up, but visually MovieClip A obscures everything else and there's nothing on a layer above it. The Movieclips whose handlers are invoked, aren't created dynamically either. Weird. Thinking cap on..

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 what am I missing?
OK, I've been avoiding doing too much with AS2 recently. It seems that if one MC (ClipA) is over another (ClipB, completely obscuring it), with AS2 the hidden MC (ClipB) will respond to onRelease, but in AS3 (as expected) it does not. Is this right?

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 what am I missing?
Yes, I've had to do that. Ugh! I rarely overlap MCs and in AS3, there's no problem. Caught me out here.

RE: [Flashcoders] Recursive and e:Event
Far better to separate the event handling from the recursion altogether.
In the event handler get the XML, then pass it to the recursive routine. Don't
pass an event to the recursive routine, pass the data/XML.
Generally with recursive code, when you run out of arguments to pass, you stop
calling.

without e:Event?
Yes:
function (parseXML(e:Event=null) {
...
parseXML(ixml);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Process issue
Generally..
var myXML:XML = XML(something);
buildXML(myXML);
// now all XML is processed
callotherfunction();
function buildXML(xml:XML) {
..
if (something){
buidlXML(someXML);

how can I tell when it is done being built:
I can not do:

because that would called to much hmm can not figure this out... the
buildXML function is taking other XML and canging it to a structure I can

[Flashcoders] Bezier curve arrows
I was recently asked if I could add some arrowheads to some actionscript generated curves. I initially thought Triangle pointing to end point, and that would be a great solution. I can place a MC at the end of the curve, but how can I get the right angle to point it to?
