Re: [Flashcoders] swf to jpeg
And a screen shot won't work? I'm going to say that yes, technically it is physically possible to do what you're asking. I'm just not sure the best way. I don't think (though I could be wrong here) that flash can spit out a bitmap from a movieclip, or that it can really spit out images at all. It can, however, turn a movieclip into a bitmap in a running swf. I've never had to actually get the bitmap out of the swf before though, so I'm not sure. What's it for?

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help with error, PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Is your class path set up to point to the com folder or is your swf file needing the class located in the same folder as your com folder? Where the actual swf is in relation to the class becomes important at compile time.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Announced
I used to make jokes about Fireworks, but after I studies up and got my Dreamweaver 8 cert, I realized what it was and what it was for, and now I'm really pretty glad it's still around. It'll never replace Photoshop, and that's not what it's there for. The beautiful integration with Dreamweaver and features designed largely for buttons and web graphics make it a whole other beast. Now, as to Freehand/Illustrator, I personally only used Illustrator, because that's what they have where I work. So long as there still is a product like that, I'm fine. I'm just kind of peeved that what I've been calling Flash 9 isn't called that anymore. I just don't like the sound of flash cs3...

Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?
I guess how hard relates to what kind of remote access you have. I'm guessing Windows is the os, and PHP/MySQL on Windows has been a piece of cake for me. I've done it more than a few times on different computers. However, I've never done it remotely. If you have remote desktop access to the computer, then it should be just as easy as if you had physical access to the box. There are very nicely documented sources on how to install both PHP and MySQL, and with a bare minimum computer knowledge, you should do fine. However, I can't think of how you could do it with any other kind of remote access... I'm guessing they gave you remote desktop access though, so you should do fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback
I tried the online version, and I saw your problem. Off the top of my head, declare an array for all the different sounds.
