Thanks for your reaction. I've been trying to get it to work for a long time

Did you try a straight test with simply placing the dynamic text field on
the stage with the euro symbol typed-in and font embedded? That should tell
you if it's possible, but I can't believe that a euro symbol doesn't come
with a Helvetica-family font.

Yes I did...I don't understand it either. The sign is visible in a static
textfield but it disappears in a dynamic one whatever I do.
I solved it by applying another textformat each time a euro sign is present.

The complaint is that there's no AS3 version of the Data

And that really bites because I use and abuse the Tree component on a

Hi Paul,
I just realised this comment was kind of irrelevant to your

to debug what's wrong with your CR-ROM! Give us a shout if you need

I only have 1 Vista install but it is on a notebook with only 2 GB of
RAM and of course a much smaller and slower disk.
It is used to 3D CAD and it very snappy rendering moderately large
models. It keeps up with the mouse when the model is being dragged or
rotated.
Built-in or free.
You can probably find somehting to buy.

Not knowing the specific handler names, seems you can just delete the

delete myButton.onRelease
delete myButton.onReleaseOutside

Oh yeah, Flash has a really cool class called ExternalInterface which
allows Flash Javascript communication. You can call a Javascript
function from Flash - pretty neat - so you can read in JS variables and
also set them.

I see a spelling mistake in my original question, I meant kill all the
handlers within a particular movieclip, i.e. each content movieclip.
The number of and names of the onRelease handlers changes in each content
movieclip, so rather than writing some hugely complex list of onRelease etc
names
I'd suggest you first try to figure out what it is exactly that makes your app
run slow.
Somehow it seems unlikely to me that this would have anything to do with event
handlers (but not knowing the app I might be wrong).
Maybe have a look with XRay..

Remoting is also a good way, but I found it overly complex and somewhat
buggy at times (at least combined with ColdFusion).

Yes, who would have believed that Flash CS3 would yield AS3 components that

- no data components
- elimination of databinding
And as Randy points out, all this in the run up to Microsoft's Silverlight

One other option is to have the server be able to receive XML data and

Yes, Flex has AS3 versions of all of the components that Flash 8 had and
then some. That is the point.
The message is pretty clear: If you want a comprehensive, state of the art
component set use Flex.
You can preview the full set of Flex UI components here:
I think the main factor on the components was more of a time factor to
meet with the CS3 release timing as opposed to just removing functionality.
Most new releases of a software don't remove functionality, but

Apparently the flash 9 cs3 compiler uses the same compiler so I dont see
why this couldnt be done to integrate parts of the flex framework

That's not as easy as it sounds. Base classes work differently, styling

Well, you can use Papervision3D. Like Sandy, it doesn't transform
