[Flashcoders] gotoAndStop and Frame labels as Numbers

2006-05-23 Thread Fitzpatrick, Kevin
Hey all, A question regarding frame labels. When using the gotoAndStop(frameLabel:String) method in a simple flash movie and the string could be evaluated to a Number (such as the string 2 or 20) it seems that the flash player does evaluate it and sends the playhead to *frame 2* instead of the

RE: [Flashcoders] puzzle: how to verify piece-fitting?

2006-03-10 Thread Fitzpatrick, Kevin
I can't off the top of my head think of any visual ways of doing it, but you can check the relationship of the pieces to each other. For instance if piece A can only fit to the left of B and the bottom of C (it's the lower left hand corner) then you could check those two distance relationships

OK, I give up. How do you use CustomButton? (the v2 extension of mx.controls.Button) It's just giving me tons of trouble and I can't find a document that really spells it out. I've read Dave Myron of orangechicken's comments on it but I can't really figure out the important steps to use this

Well, I definitely can't claim to be an expert on the issue, however I'm sure we're using Tahoma 12 Bold in all our files. Perhaps something is being set by the flash player in those locales, such as our Chinese site (http://www40.sap.com/china/index.epx), if the font is not found but we have set

plugins for other code editing like Java, PHP, etc..., integrating with a much faster compiler (MTASC) is relatively straight forward, and much more. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. I hope it helps. -Chris On 1/16/06, Fitzpatrick, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Miles, Sorry I wasn't more
