Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried xray but it didn't work.
I don't have any .fla files I have only swf. Through Captivate I tried
exporting the files to flash 2004 or flash 8 (so as to get the .fla's)
but it is giving me error. My Basic problem is that I a have some demo
created in captivate
Why not using JSON? I haven't used it yet but this seems like
a good opportunity from the examples I've studied.
Because JSON is Javascript and more suited for AJAX applications - IMO
it would take a lot more work using JSON in Flash than XML to get it

How do I do it?
You might try a CellRenderer for each item, and put code in your
CellRenderer class (or movieClip) to modify the cursor.

Thank you Jim.
To clarify the problem we are discussing, when a string is parsed into a
number, and the string is representing a very large number, the number does
not yield the expected results when used in an operation. This is
demonstrated in the first modulo experiment. This issue does not

I believe you can do this by adding a method to the Button.prototype object.

Oh, I completely agree about staying away from timeline actionscript.
The first little flash app I did (just a small test app) used the
timeline cause I didn't know any better, but I very quickly realized
that was the wrong way to go. :)
So, the book looks like it's one of the many explaining
If you really have a number with 52 decimal digits of precision
required, you can not store it in a double.
I believe that a double is only good for about 16-17 digits.
What is the origin of such a number and what do you want to do with it?
You will have to write all of your own arithmetic or
There is less to ActionScript than one might suspect.
Reading the API (either in the Macromedia textbooks or the docs) is
probably more help than a course for an experienced person. None of the
stuff is particularly magical and knowing what Objects and methods are
available is the biggest
I stated the origin of the number and what I want to do with it. The number
is derived from a string using parseFloat, and it simply needs to serve its
purpose as an operand in an expression.
The relevant point of this discussion is that a hard coded assignment of

I think I found the difference. Using swfmill's swf2xml mode and
looking at the differences between the swfmill SWF and the Flash IDE
SWF I see this:
The PlaceObject tags in the swmfill SWF have the 'replace' value set
to 0, while in the IDE's SWF the 'replace' value is set to 1. I'm
guessing
I think the problem here is that this:
var n2:Number = parseFloat(n2Split[0])*Math.pow(10, parseInt(n2Split[1]));
is not the same as doing the math. When you define it as a string the
code will convert the number directly, trying to get as close as it
can to the value.
However, in the code
Oh, and this:
parseFloat(n2Split[0])
also adds errors. The number (6.3) probably can't be accurately
represented in float/double format, so it's not quite 6.3 (it might be
6.3005123412, for example). So, when you then multiply it
by the power of 10 it won't be the same as when it

Hi,
Both are pretty good but leave you some work to do in that all the

ASV exports a JSFL file and a load of AS and FLA files. To rebuild
your FLA, you need to run the JSFL. Flash Decompiler is simpler and it

For the flash 9 player, you'll need a cross domain policy file.
