    Aliasing embedded fonts

    pixel fonts must be embedded, but unless they're set on a whole pixel value at x and y, and to the exact font size that they're meant for, they'll look like crap.

    Need helpwith Actionscript Fonts

    no simpler way. keep in mind, also, that when you use the TextFormat object to define a font, you should use a font that you know will be available on all client machines, OR, embed it, OR use one of the flash player's built in fonts ("_sans","_typewriter", etc.)

    How do I get Access contracting jobs?

    If you are asking how to find customers, then the best advice I can give is to Schmoooze. If you're going after small-business contracts, make lots of friends in business. Be decent, be bright. Impress people by expressing interest in their lives and their livelihoods. Learn to empathize with...

    Creating Online Database using Access

    if you are attempting to write to the db from a browser over the web, the directory in which the db resides must be writable. you can ask your isp to make it writable, but you open yourself up to the risk of a hack. rob

    Should I use an EXE or DLL?

    I think you understand my need perfectly. I also think your solution will work perfectly.... that is, when I get the chance to implement it. I'm using Flash, XML, and Access in the same project. It's going well but I have my hands full. I'm just thankful they have an original version to beat on...

    Should I use an EXE or DLL?

    Right on, Tuna. Fortunately, I've known this particular client for quite a while (built their website). In other cases I'm a little more cautious, as you say.

    Should I use an EXE or DLL?

    Thanks, guys. Sometimes its difficult to know where to start (and what to search for) with these things. I find the MS help pretty vague. When people ask me to build them software, I say yes... then I have to go learn how...

    Should I use an EXE or DLL?

    Thanks guys: vb5prgrmr: this program can work for a LONG time. i did what you suggest in the first version, but it proved to be inconvenient for the client, so I'm looking for ways to intervene without actually shutting it down. jshanoo: how would I control the activex exe from the main app...

    Should I use an EXE or DLL?

    Hi, all. I am building an application that uses Photoshop's scripting engine (with VB) to output vast numbers of big images files. Naturally, when the app is stepping through the database to get data for the images and formatting them, it's not accessible to the user. Can't cancel, can't do...

    drag and drop ftp control in web page

    Hi, A client wants me to simplify a file upload feature that would show a local file window and an ftp window so users can drag & drop their files to upload them. (Their customers were apparently not bright enough to use a standard multipart form). I'm not a VB whiz, but it looks like a custom...

    dynamic function

    Thanks, man, I'll try that. I thought I had, but I gues I goofed it up. Had to check to see that I was on the right track. Thanks again. Rob

    dynamic function

    There must be a simple solution, and I must be too tired to get it to work, but how does one call a function using a concatenated string? I have a function: SearchPage(){} I have a string: string="Search" + "Page"; I want to call the function! Thanks.

    determining when a function finishes

    thanks, but i have an issue. if the value set in function2 is not true, then the function3 will not execute before the main function ends, will it? function3 must execute, whether or not f2 returns anything, but not until it finishes. i can easily mimic the effect using a movie clip, but i'd...

    Question for the future.....

    you could use loadvariables to call a server script that tells the swf what the host's ip is, etc. if the swf can't identify it's location, it wont play!
