RE: [Flashcoders] Alternate ActionScript-centric Support Mailing Lists

Well, I unfortunately I can't recommend a good alternatative, but I will say steer clear of Flash_Actionscript and FLASHmacromedia groups on Yahoo - it's filled with very very low level newbies or people who only do animation. So unless you like constantly replying to (or resisting replying to)

[Flashcoders] AVM1 in an AVM2 shell problems

Hi, I'm probably gonna spend all day debugging this and figure out whats going on, so I was hoping that somebody has already been through this and can tell me what's happening. So I have a Flex based shell. It loads AVM1 movies and then passes it a couple parameters with FlashInterface.

RE: [Flashcoders] scrollpane woes

This seems to be working fine for me, unless I'm missing something... I copied your code into its own layer on frame one. I then dropped the ScrollPane component into my library. Created a new MovieClip, exported it for ActionScript and gave it an identifier of mcEventText. When I run the swf,

[Flashcoders] Coding suffixes and prefixes triggering code hinting

Hi All, I vaguely remember there being a way of modifying the in-built triggers for code hinting. For example, if you type ... ball_mc. Flash will detect that you are referring to a MovieClip and provide the relevant code hints in a little popup window. Which is all very nice if you want to

[Flashcoders] Skewing text

Hi List I need to skew some text to give the impression it is going off into the distance (think opening text on Star Wars, though without movement). I know this effect can be done using the triangular method as used in Papervision. However I'm not creating a 3D scene here, I just want the

Re: [Flashcoders] Skewing text

can you take what David said, only actually skew the text/object with the free transform to give the illusion of 3D depth...ie: make the top of the text thinner and the bottom wider. this will give the perception of the top of the text going back into space and the bottom being out

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugger's not up to it.

well, I have yet to see any properties show up in the debugger (well, I did see it once, but haven't since then). I'm not an authority on the flash debugger by any means. In fact, I wrote Xray without even touching the IDE debugger. Only later did I go back to see what it was capable of when

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugger's not up to it.

I use the Flash CS3 debugger a lot, second only to trace statements for debugging. I set breakpoints and view variables (including the hierarchy) and their properties and I can step through code. It's a valuable tool. Laurie Jensen Ross Learning Media -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Re: [Flashcoders] limit of nodes of XML file that can be parsed?

I do not think that you are even close to any maximum. There are many applications much bigger than this floating about. What tools do you have for validating XML? We have found that XMLSpy is a really useful tool if you are doing anything serious with XML. It has lots of different applications

Re: [Flashcoders] limit of nodes of XML file that can be parsed?

You might also try to navigate the XML yourself (and parse it yourself.) I would parse it into arrays of objects rather than arrays. It is a lot easier to ask an object for some information than a multidimensional array. I lot easier to maintain as well. If you put some traces into your
