Thanks for the good point, Ross. I'll keep that in mind, because it did cross my mind that it's still editable as a ppt, but in this particular case, it happens to be no big deal. Best regards, Michael M. Good to hear but I would still recommend using the PPS file instead as the casual user

Not knowing MACR's take on the duel, I'd be extremely skeptical about this. Welcome Back, Pekka :-) I'm not too skeptical, myself. I think it's a neat idea, and I might submit an idea myself. Macromedia is a pretty big company, with, I would assume, a pretty broad spectrum of political

Hi folks, Forgive the cross post, but I realize there are people here who aren't on some of the other Director lists. This is one for OOP fools like me. I have a method for enforcing private methods, and I'd be interested in comments. Fridays are slow anyway ^_^ on mGetData me, caller --

Hi Kerry, That looks like it'd slow things down a lot - and be a pain to type. And it could easily be got around: behav.mGetData(behav) I don't think there's a simple code method to enforce it. The approach I take to private/public methods is simple and

OK, I don't want to sound like a backseat driver here, but whatever is done, I'd suggest utilizing ink effects, 3D and image lingo. Hardly anyone sees that kind of stuff on the web, and the wow factor of a visually exciting piece could go a long way in helping to promote the player. - MM [To

That looks like it'd slow things down a lot - and be a pain to type. Not really. The comparison takes a millisecond or two, and it's only used in private methods. Typing is easy--type it once, and copy and paste. And it could easily be got around: behav.mGetData(behav)
