Re: [Flashcoders] CrossDomain and Forms
You need a proxy script, which is a file on your server that will read in the data from the other server and write it out for you. As far as Flash is concerned, the data is from your server.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Salary Questions
I doubt that the management structure of your global company is going to change any time soon. If you are frustrated, then it sounds like you should find another gig, especially if want a raise but are unable to communicate to your boss what it is that you do. I find that it's easier to bump up my rate with new clients than to explain to old clients why they should be paying me more for the same work, anyway. I have no particular insight into the job market in your region, but I'd be surprised to hear of someone getting a 90K salary for flash development in Oklahoma. Jason - Original Message - From: Jordan Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 3:50 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Salary Questions The main trouble I'm running into when trying to prove what I do here is that we have almost NO organization in our company and no clear path to any given team or individual. A good example is that anyone (salesperson, PR guy, creative director, client) can come to ANYONE in my department and request work. Then that person in my dept requests a project code from a person in Switzerland who has no contact with us whatsoever, and then that person is the 'owner' of the project and is responsible for seeing it through. If the graphic designer learns about a highly technical project from a client, he will technically own it, but I will of course run it. Since my boss does little to no due diligence into what the team is doing (he just expects everything to be done when it's supposed to be done) then he has no idea what is going on behind the scenes. He just sees that a project either gets done on time or it doesn't, and since I am the most technical, I am blamed for failures yet not rewarded for successes (the boss actually takes credit for successes after I sit down with him for hours and explain the architecture and selling points of any given system.) We have a serious management failure, lack of management all together, and so the people making the world go around will never be recognized for what we do. Until we leave. The only reason I'm here at this point is due to my significant investment in this company. It is dysfunctional from the top down, but there are some amazing ideas and some amazing people in this organization (global company). I've decided that I am going to follow through with the current project I'm driving, and if things do not change a great deal afterward, I will take another job and make things happen there. There is so much information that I could divulge in testament to the extreme dysfunctionality, but that would be neither wise nor effective use of my time. Hope this gives some insight into how much a corporate structure/lack of structure affects my/your compensation, confidence, earning ability, growth potential, etc. Cheers! ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Extending buttons interface
Prototype has been depreciated. What are you talking about? This is straight from AS 2.0 Language Reference: prototype (Object.prototype property) public static prototype : Object A reference to the superclass of a class or function object. The prototype property is automatically created and attached to any class or function object you create. This property is static in that it is specific to the class or function you create. For example, if you create a custom class, the value of the prototype property is shared by all instances of the class, and is accessible only as a class property. Instances of your custom class cannot directly access the prototype property, but can access it through the __proto__ property.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Wendy, I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server. There's not a good way for flash to know whether a file exists until it tries to load the file. Unless you want to update and upload the xml every time you update a video, then you'll want a server-side script to create a list of the flvs in the folder. And really, the list doesn't have to be xml. If you know whether your server is running asp or php or cgis or whatever, then you should be able to search the web for a script that will list all of the files in a folder. Once you have that, then you'll just show a button in flash for each entry in the list. Jason Hello list! Does anyone know the code to make -selectable dynamic video buttons- appear -only- if/when there is an .flv available to be called from in the xml code??? I¹m dealing with 3 to 5 videos that need to be removed and then replaced daily after rendering in final cut, exported to .flv¹s then put on web. The prior needs to be taken down, and the new put up when ready. I don¹t want the button for whichever video to appear unless the video is there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hank, you don't know what you are talking about. You may be late to the party, but that doesn't mean that everyone was. There are a lot of people (not billions, but a good number) who meet/exceed YOUR requirements who were working in Flash before AS 2 was an option. Seriously, why do you think this list exists?

Re: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
Magic, that's it. I am not using any prebuilt components, but I have made some components that extend UIObject, so I suspect that is why getNextHighestDepth returns 1048576, which I guess is outside the valid range. The documentation tells me to use the version 2 DepthManager class, but I am not sure how I would use that in place of attachMovie and getNextHighestDepth. Any suggestions? If I can't do it simply with the DepthManager classs, then I guess I could pick a number and check against getInstanceAtDepth until I find an available depth. Seems dumb. Eff. Better yet, I think I'll just put an empty movie clip on the stage and attach something to that.
