Hi,
I am looking at skinning a List for a touchscreen device and
reading the doc's for CS4 skinning it seems to imply that I cannot
change the width of a vertical scrollbar.
Does anyone know of any workarounds for this as people using the
touchscreen don't tend to have mouse-pointer
i know you can load external mp3 files in flash, but is it possible to load
a library (if that is the right term) of wav files in flash?
the app i want to make involves loops, and mp3 files are not real good for
loops.

Hi,
Think I have found a solution using Grant Skinners hack for the
Scrollbar component detailed here.

If you are talking about sound imported into the Library in IDE, you
can assign a Class name to it and instantiate it as normal:
var snd:Sound = new LibaraySound();
snd.play();
...etc.

Hi,
You could compile the wav files into SWF's that you load as runtime
libraries - then you could still instanciate your sounds the same way as
Kenneth said.
You have to use a Loader class load the external SWF in and wait
for the Loader's INIT event before accessing library items.
I would set it up using XML.
I think the trick to loading MP3s and having them loop is to preload
them.
Then figure out how long till the sound plays and how long is left
after the sound ends to the end of the track.

Hi,
I was wondering how can I put the execution of a application to a hault and
raise a error flag ( maybe quite everything) so it does not move anywhere
further. I have some logical errors which do not cause troubles in the
execution, but I still want to stop execution when they occur. For
A generic object has no meaning, you lose typecasting and all the
benefits of using a custom class, like for example, code completion.
Remember anonymous functions in AS1/2 and why they were bad? It's not
quite as bad to use generic objects, but still not good practice IMO.
With VOs, you know
You could try in your logic to use a case switch. Then break on error.

breaking an error would just hault the loop. Or that perticular place and it
would come to the parent and go on with the rest of the program.

This might work to achieve gapless looping:
Once you've loaded the audio assets (an mp3 file, swf file library assets,
etc.), copy the raw sound data into a ByteArray. Then to play it back you
create a duplicate of that ByteArray and feed it to a new Sound object when
it throws it's
If you create an mp3 in SoundBooth or Sound Forge and loop it, even in those
environments, you see that simply creating an mp3 introduces some silence at
the beginning and end of the file. Even if the mp3 was made from a perfectly
gapless looping wav file, the mp3 will have a gap in it.
That's basically what Andre Michelle is doing with his code at

i know there has already been a lot of talk about flash and iphones/ipads and
developer agreements on this list and i don't wish to add unnecessarily or
stoke up the fire again but i thought this might be a worthwhile read for all
from the man at the centre of it all:
In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices. We have
routinely asked Adobe to show us Flash performing well on a mobile
device, any mobile device, for a few years now. We have never seen
it.
isn't this just utter B.S.?

Yep, this looks like it.. though with added code for dealing with silence

I think his comment was that many Flash sites were not designed for touch
screens, not that Flash itself is not designed for touch screens.
Even then it isn't really a fair comment since the vast majority of web
experiences were not designed with touch screen interactivity in mind.

Pity it's US only, would have been nice to see, but it's not from Adobe
though!
Apple have thrown down the gauntlet - it may be FUD, but it's from Steve
Jobs / Apple and that's better than any speculation from other sources.
I guess I would like to see Adobe be able to respond to this
The problem is that pretty much all of that has already been responded to a
while ago. Steve Jobs is only repeating what has already been echoing among
people who want to rationalize the fact that iP* doesn't have Flash, like
this stupid rollover/hover discussion. If Adobe is to respond to that,
He talks about Flash being yesterday's tech, but that statement makes me
wonder if he's ever coded in Objective-C.
