Hi Dave,
I'm not sure you need to be accessing your bitmap via a movieClip. I'm
doing something similar but I use the bitmap directly from the library. I
se the bitmap up an auto generated class using 'Linkage' i.e. 'myBitmap'
then if I need the bitmapData in yourscript simply say:
var
Try adding this to your fla
addChild(hw);
In your HelloWorld class you've added your textField inside but since you
have added you HelloWorld() object to the display list of the movie it
will never get drawn.
I have a question back at you along this example. I'm running on windows
and
Hi Jason,
My packageTest.fla is
import MyPackage.*;
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
var mc:MyClass = new MyClass();
and in the same directory I have MyPackage.as
//MyPackage.as
package MyPackage
{
public class HelloWorld
{
public function HelloWorld()
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the suggestion but still no luck on my end.
It seems that on my set up I need to have a constructor named the same as
the .as file and that constructor has to be initiated prior to any of the
other classes being initiated. So I set up
public class MyPackage{

Another workaround that I've been using is to use the loading swf as
wrapper for the movieClip I ultimately want to display on the stage.
Create the content you want to use as movieClip symbol in your swf, export

name.
What is your import statement for the singleton like?

Hi Dane,
Here are some thoughts for you to try. First off since you are not
actually working with a display object you don't need this class to extend
sprite. The easiest way to give the class the ability to send out events
is to have it extend EventDispatcher and then you can have it

I don't think you can do this via the timeline you need to do it
programatically by setting the mask of a clip to another clip which has

As suggested Matrix will get you there. Here is some sample code:

Hey Glen when you say your mouse up is outside the stage do you mean
that the mouse up is occurring outside of the dragged object in which
case the object catching the up event is the stage object. (Rest of
your sentence seems to imply that.)

I'm pretty sure the text field trick should work because it forces the
font to be registered. Just embedding fonts in your library won't be
enough if they are accessed via code only. To avoid the text field
trick you will need to use Font.registerFont() to make them usable in
your app.
From within a browser or are you creating a stand-alone app that
needs to open the files?
If a stand alone then you could use a wrapper. I've done this with AS3

Hi Michael,
If your second font is not embedded in any text field but only
available via linkage then while it is embedded in your file it is not
available for usage. To make it available you need to use the
registerFont function with your linked font. After that it should show
up in any

This might get you pointed in the right direction. You can get an
XMLList of all the empty nodes by this kind of statement
xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
but if you then try a simple delete on that
delete xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
you get: Delete
Since Jason wanted to get rid of all the nodes that were empty he
would want to filter against !=0 and then use setChildren to refresh
his original xml. Using setChildren is a nifty trick, much nicer than
that delete loop I put out there.

You can load swfs into the app BUT the swfs can not contain any action script
in them. This includes giving class names to items in your library or even
simple stop() commands.
