[Flashcoders] Coordinates and Stage align in Flexible UIs
Hi there, Is there a good explanation about how co-ordinates work with Stage Align? I'm building a Flexible UI and all works fine is I use Stage.align to the top left, and set teh scalemode to noscale, but if I want to align it to the center things start going a little hay-wire. I'm trying to leave as much of the design on the timeline as possible, and will be loading in SWF dynamically, so I'm aiming to have the main content centered, and have the UI change around that, rather than positioning it with code, but I've not managed to do that yet.

[Flashcoders] Loading Remote Images Cross Domain files
Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out this cross domain policy stuff. I've read Macromedia's tutorial and Colin Moock's explanation and while I understand the principle, I'm still unable to get it working. Quite simply, I want to load images from a remote server. I've set it all up and it just fails silently. I checked what's happpening in the background with LiveHTTPHeaders and the request for the crossdomain.xml file never gets sent, even when I explicitly set it with System.security.loadPolicyFile. I'm publishing as Flash 7, and using the Flash 9 plugin. This seems like it should work straight off from reading the tutorials, so i'm really at a bit of a loss.

[Flashcoders] XPath Problem
Hi,
I'm playing around with Xfactor's XPath implementation but running into
trouble with a basic test. I can parse the xml fine on the first run, but I
want to subsequently parse those results. Here's the (rough) code:
// This gets a list of the countries
function parseXML(xmlData) {
countriesList = XPath.selectNodes(xmlData, /map/country);
handleCountry(countriesList[0]);
}
// I want to find the name of a country
function handleCountry(country) {
trace(country); // traces the corect XML out for the country
countryName = XPath.selectNodes(country, /country/name);
trace(countryName); // shows nothing
// If I do this though, I get back the original results
countryList = XPath.selectNodes(country, /map/country);
trace(countryList); // shows country list
}
It doesn't seem to point to the XML I've grabbed from the first function.
Traces all seem to be fine up to that point, so I'm really at a loss.
Anyone got any ideas?
- Kevin

[Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
Hi, I hope this isn't off-topic but I've been struggling to find the answer, and this list has been a great help to me over the years. I'm a designer, but often code in Flash. I'm not building huge RIAs, usually just adding small little bits of interactivity to sites, and building some multimedia interfaces and gathering data from XML etc... Nothing hardcore, but a bit more that just tinkering with AS. Up until now I've always used AS1, and though I've bought Colin Moock's AS2 book, it seems like a bit leap to make, and from what I've read it seems like many of the advantages of AS2 are in having proper OO, and more manageable code for large projects. I'm wondering if AS2 offers any advantages to me, or if sticking with AS1 would be better. Is AS2 (and now 3) the natural progression of Flash coding, is there even a future for AS1, all the useful libraries seem to be AS2 only these days too, perhaps that alone is a reason to switch. I'm unsure as to what path I'm supposed to be on.

But that seems rather cumbersome, and I suspect there's a better way of doing
it, any recommendations?
