You could try printing (with printJob) through a virtual printer and generate some kind of File... I know Adobe PDF virtual printer will generate a vector based document that you could import to Illustrator and then create the SVG file. Maybe there is even a SVG virtual printer out there...

I usually delete the rollOver handler while I'm over it, detecting the rollOut event through hitTest instead of onRollOut... its something like this: myFunction clip.onRollOver delete clip.onRollOver clip.onMouseMove if(!clip.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse)) delete

Re: [Flashcoders] Image Caching Problem

2007-03-25 Thread Cay Garrido H.
Hi, By default cache I think you refer to the local storage setting in the Flash Player configuration... AFAIK, that's the amount of info you can store with SharedObjects, and has nothing to do with the cache used for storing loaded assets... the later depends exclusively on the browser's

Of the top of my head a possible reason is that higher prices respond to the amount of illegal software used in Europe in comparison to the US... I could be wrong, but the system seems far more controlled over there, and there are less companies using pirated copies... now, I don't see how
