You might also want to check out this link:

What types of objects other than FLV videos have metaData that triggers
the onMetaData event?
In AS3, why is the onMetaData event handled differently than all the
other events? I.e., why can't it be used with addEventListener?

Hi,
You would probably have to roll your own for this:
You could make up your own 3D object out of planes and assign
different material to each plane.
Or render a large bitmap of all your movieclips and use that as a

Not 100% on this - just a suggestion...

Create two .fla's called SizeParent.fla and SizeChild.fla.
In SizeChild draw a square of 20x20 and set it's y to 10.
Publish SizeChild.swf and place this code on frame 1 in SizeParent
Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import
It measures the height of the actual content.
You'd have to have something onstage at (0,0) for it to start measuring
there.
If you need it, write something that retrieves the Y value of the item plus
the item's height, where item is the DisplayObject in the loaded SWF.

Thanks Matt,
I understand I can work out the height manually but I'm trying to write a
function into the main stage that can read the height of any child swf. The
names and locations may vary so its not that attractive of a solution.
There has to be some way of reading the bounds. Like in as2, if
I dunno, man, I don't remember what that returned in AS2 (it's been a couple
years since I used it), but I would seriously get annoyed if AS3 returned a
height based on a non-existent piece of content. Right now, it sniffs out
the bounds of the displayobject then returns the height of that
Well I think I have something to work with. I found that I can just
getBounds() on the element in question and add the returned Rectangles .y to
its .height. I'd like a simple height prop somewhere but this will work. Now
to go post in the other two places I asked this question :)

It's not a I don't like change argument. It's a why remove logically
intuitive features without a replacement? one. AS3 is great, but it's not
fool proof.

Hello flash coders,
in my document class I check loaderInfo.parameters.debug:
public class MyGame extends Sprite {
public static const DEBUG:Boolean = loaderInfo.parameters.debug;
public static const SERVER:String = DEBUG ? 'http://192.168.111.43' :
'http://preferans.de';
Hi,
I think you can use this.stage.loaderInfo, but your Sprite needs to
be on stage before you can use the stage parameter.
For example:
private function _addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void {
trace(BackgroundAudio::_addedToStageHandler +
this.stage.loaderInfo.url);
Hello Glen
Ok, it needs to be on stage first - that's why it was null in my tests
I still wonder if it's possible to set DEBUG once as _static_ var or const?
Regards
Alex

Dear flash coders,
I'm struggling since a week already with
several elements in my application not
acting as I want them to do. And they
all could be reduced to a rectangle button
which has a TextField on top of it and
which should lighten up on a mouse over
and scale down on a mouse down event.
Alexander,
I set
MyButton.mouseChildren= false;
Kind regards
Cor
