Wondering how this no download code to be executed thing affects
HTML developers.
Say I create an app based on HTML, and get it to visit a website with
some JavaScript files. That looks like external code not part of the
original app being executed to me.

there's a bit of a developer exodus from iOS to android at the moment
(certainly they're learning to use android alongside it)

AS3. I have linked mc with name videoPanel in library. This mc has
function statVideo() on his own timeline frame;
Then on main timeline I have code
theVideo=new videoPanel();
panelItem.addChild(theVideo);
and I want to play function startVideo, so
theVideo.startVideo();
but that gives me error
Maybe because you declared your function as statVideo in the class and
you're trying to call startVideo from the timeline. If that was just
a typo in your e-mail, and not the case in your project, then be sure
your function is declared public. Other than that, you've done it right
so must be
This refers to building actual iOS applications for the app store, not web
sites. You can't develop iOS apps with HTML. But, your site is fine -
Javascript is supported in iOS's Safari browser, so building a site with HTML
and Javscript and HTML is no problem.

So if I have to line segments:
A: 0-799
B: 66.92 - 124.40
Given a point on B (80.6 for example) how can I find the equivalent point on A?

Yes it is just a typo in email. It is not a class. It is mc in
library. In AS2 we just attach it to any mc on timeline and can call
any function in it. I try convert AS2 file to AS3 without writing
classes. But I found this problem.

I assume you mean those numbers represent X values, and I assume by
equivalent you mean the same percentage along the line (since those
lines are of two different lengths). Then all you have to do is some
simple proportional math.
Get the length of each line by subtracting the start point from
length of B: 124.40 - 66.90 = 57.5
length traversed along B: 80.6 - 66.92 = 13.68
proportion of B traversed: 13.68/57.5 = 0.237913043
length of A = 799 - 0 = 799
proportion of A traversed: 0.237913043
length traversed along A: 0.237913043 * 799 = 190.0925217
If your screen width is 800 pixels
Correction:
In some cases you might want to round it up with int(0 +190.0925217 +
0.5) - 191

Not sure that's true, but never tried. If you're moving to classes, you should
consider moving code off the timeline. Add your movie clip to a document class
- call the function in there. I think people who try and do a hybrid mix of
timeline and class coding are only asking for headaches.
Also, you should typecast your variables if you aren't. So instead of:
theVideo=new videoPanel();
do:
var theVideo:videoPanel = new videoPanel();
perhaps Flash is choking because it doesn't know what type theVideo is.
Also, minor unrelated point, but 99.9% of Flash developers start class

Sometime project is small. And all I need is attach some movie clip
from a library. It was not a problem control it in AS2. It looks AS3
nothing can do with small task.

Hhmmm I do not think this is working - here is my issue - maybe someone has an
idea.
I have a mc that is basically a map of the US. I am getting the long and lat of
a location I want to be able to put a point on the map based on that long
and lat - my thought was that I could find an
What you need is something called Translation. I am leaving the office so I
can't work out the problem for you, but basically pick a point on the map
and call it 0,0 and then the lat and long of that same point will represent
0,0 and all you have to do is subtract or add the lat and long of the
Lattitude and longitude are lines projected onto a sphere (the earth),
so therefore curve and won't translate to a 2D map, which could have any
variety of projection type. So just using those values won't give you X
and Y on any map, unless your map is not something as large as the U.S.
A smaller
Hhmmm that makes sense... that explains why it is not translating...
unfortunately - I can not have something that needs go hit the internet -
working on a closed network... the YahooMap API seems like it would not work on
a network like that... unless I am totally misunderstanding it
Right - YahooMaps would require access to Yahoo.

Hi;
I figured out the reason I couldn't successfully mask out the background from

You don't want a mask. You want a bitmap with alpha values.
If you really need two bitmaps, you can use the alpha blend mode to
combine them during rendering.
