Works here.. Safari and Fire Fox Mac OS 10.4.3 Screen resolution 1920x1200 The browser window is full-screen and the swf appears to go edge to edge... the graphics do not scale though (not sure if that's what your asking), the right side of the screen is white. -Mike On Nov 17, 2005

RE: [Flashcoders] Movie seems to unload?

2005-11-18 Thread Mike Mountain
Hi Stathi Just out of interest are you using a preloader toload your content in? That may explain the initial load followed by the error - try the content without the preloader - if that works your problem is in there somewhere. Cheers M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] embedFonts oddity Mike, I don't _think_ so - this is a dynamically created TextField object. I can't immediately find an AS property (rather than the UI's checkbox) to control kerning. Any pointers? Doesn't seem obvious under TextField or TextFormat... Cheers

[Flashcoders] Copying an MC as a bitmap

2005-11-21 Thread Mike Mountain
I'm sure I used to know how to do this but it seems to be eluding me... Say I have an MC (may be made up of text, vectors and bitmaps) on the stage or in the library and I want to copy it as a bitmap into a holder mc on the stage - how do I copy the MC's bitmap properties? In pseudo code

Hall and Sam Wan. This book showed me so much I can't even begin to express my appreciation for it. It's AS1, but it still holds up, I tell ya. One of the classics. This truly shaped my understanding of OOP because it put it in a context I was already familiar with. Mike

Not sure flashcoders is the place to post asking for reviews - but as you asked.. I'd have preloader for all the apps - at the moment you can see them 'build' on screen - a place holder with a load bar would be a better way to hide the fact the images are still loading in, and reassure the user -

Re: [Flashcoders] Scrollpane in the arse

I have tried using both content (which is read-only) and contentPath (which seems to target a enternal source, or a movieclip in the library with a linkage set). The problem is I am dynamically creating the clips first on the stage, then placing them in the scrollpane, so it does not contain

Yes I have done quite a bit of testing and searching different web sites including all the standard goto sites like actionscript.org / ultrashock.com etc... It seems like I should be able to use scrollpane.contentPath = _root.productHolder; but this doesnt work. Steve Krichten wrote: Flash
