Download and install TweakUI from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx (about half way down on the right) After install, run it, expand 'My Computer', click on 'Drives' and untick the drive you want to be 'invisible'. Its worth getting this app for loads of...

When you right click on the file, is 'Open' in bold? (i.e. the default action for double clicking) As for the mouse double click settings, when you go to the settings and try double clicking the test area does it work there? Did you try making the double click really sensitive, apply it, then...

Are you using getNextHighestDepth when creating the movieclips? If so, have a look at this: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19435 If this is the case, my work around was to create a tempDepth variable and just increment after every use...

I believe you have to set it as a 'new' text format, so just edit your code to be: tfX.setNewTextFormat(tf);

Well that works on mine so I guess I can just use this FLA. Recreating what was going on in the other FLA(s) won't be difficult since I can just copy the library. Thanks for your help!

I don't have anywhere to host it - what I was going to suggest is can you post the FLA you got working, I'll try it on mine and if it still doesn't work I'll know theres a problem with my Flash installation... Thanks

Well I think I've figured out that this goes beyond being a LoadVars problem because if I comment out all of the actions and just add: PersonEmail.text = "someone@somewhere.com" it displays as 'someonesomewhere.com' I'm also beginning to think there may be a bigger problem because I tried...

Heres whats contained in the text file: PersonSite=Name of Site &PersonName=Name of Person &PersonTelephone=0123456789 &PersonEmail=firstname.a.surname@somewhere.com &PersonLocation=RoomNo, BuildingNo, Site I'm kind of hoping it is a problem with this because at least then its an easy fix...

Just using Tahoma so yeah, the @ symbol is definitely exists! I've also tried changing the font to Times New Roman, recreated the text box, recreated the text file etc. It still doesn't display, which is a bit annoying! I also can't figure out why when I use '+ "@somewhere.com", it doesn't...

oh and if I trace the variable, the @ is displayed - just not when I try to use it in a text field.

My movie is loading variables from a standard text file. Everything is correctly displayed apart from the @ symbol on an email address. The strange thing is even when I put textBoxName.text = myVar + "@somewhere.com" it still doesn't display it. In fact, in this case it doesnt display anything...

Create a button and give it an instance name (example here is btnTest). Add this code to the main timeline: _root.btnTest.onRollOver = function(){ _root.btnTest._x = random(500); _root.btnTest._y = random(400); }; Just adjust the _x and _y values for the size of the stage.

This reminds me of another one from when I was a kid... 1. Pick a number from 1-10 2. Multiply it by 9 3. Add the two digits together (if its single just use that) 4. Add 3 5. Divide by 3 6. Take the number and match it to the corresponding letter of the alphabet e.g. 1=A, 2=B, 3=C etc 7. Use...

Lets not forget the Indians who gave us '0'...hehe this could go on for a while!

I think it may be located in 'Add / Remove Programs' -> 'Windows Components', however if it is just that clicking on the picture does nothing, it may be that it has just lost is association somehow. To confirm, you can right click on a picture, go to 'Open With...' and select picture / fax...
