Hello all,
See history of this question in quotations below.
SOLUTION:
Now there are 3 classes:

function MyContainer(){}

Playing a movie in fullscreen isn't a mode of the flash player, you do
yourself. Since you do it manually, all you need to do is add a variable
that tells you what mode your movie is in.

Hi,
How to detect whether the swf is playing in
You should check that the loaded swfs don't invoke js. You can test this to
see if the same thing happens if you set the allowScriptAccess attribute of
both object/embed tags of the swf's to never. Examine the attributes your
javascript is using to inject the tags. try using layers or divs.

Mick,
It is certainly possible. I am currently working on a intranet project
that is exactly what you want to achieve. I have about 80~100 clients
that are connected to a socket server. Flash clients are build as
windows desktop clients and everything goes through persistent
xmlsockets.
I did this with a .NET application. Unfortunately, the flash ocx
exposes little that allow you to manipulate the running movie. I did
manage to exploit the fact that you can use SetVariable to set a
setter/getter that is in effect a function, as you normally can't call
functions directly from
I'm not so sure it is... My log outputs this:

You could consider using a XMLSocketServer to communicate with flash over
this local server. In theory this works like charm, I wrote a
XMLSocketServer for .NET as a console application and it worked all fine.
I am going to test if it works on the PPC to tonight.

That's a little overkill. What's the point in using XMLSockets where
the data is persisting in one place? It's better to use SetVariable
from the EXE to the Flash movie and send XML as strings to the variables
(which are getters/setters), and ExternalAPI for Flash to the EXE which
also sends

Hi,
as far as I know, there is no clean solution to this problem.
However, if you feel hackish, this /could/ work:
var w = myClip._width;
var h = myClip._height;
var clip = myClip.createEmptyMovieClip( foobar,
myClip.getNextHighestDepth() );
with( clip ) {
beginFill( 0x00ff00, 100 ) {
thanks!
you're right, that does pin down the centerpoints' coordinates, should
hopefully get my problem fixed.

The problem is that even if you change the scaling, you are not changing the
position of the black box in relation of your local movieclip. Your black

you should set riseSpeed inside the newClip, and then apply the

newClip.riseSpeed = ((0.03 * hitherYon) - 1.5);
newClip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
you don't need that, it will be availible because its an anon function
inside another function, therefore all variables inside the containing
function will be availible.
put this in frame 1 of a movie to test
function containing ():Void
{
var p:Number = 8;
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
it looks like it should work, i would however refactor. in one place you use
the return of attchMovie anotherplace you access the movie via root. have
you go anything else in that movie you are attaching it to, maybe you are
