yes, if you make your swf too big for the browser the browser will scroll it. It's your simplest option. And even tho it won't all show when you test movie, it will all show in the browser. Just be sure to test in the html rather than just the swf. Meaning, if you go to...

I've noticed many threads where the last reply says, "Thank you. That was very helpful.", but the poster neglected to give the helpful person(s) their stars. I was so disturbed by this that I clicked the star giving link for these people on several posts even tho I wasn't a part of the thread...

That is certainly possible. Perhaps there is an error in your code we could find if you post it. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

in your other post you said you DON'T want everything to scroll when the background scrolls. is there a reason you can't just put the other items inside the clip being used as the scrollpane content? if so, you can make a listener for the scroll event and move everything there. Philip Keiter...

I've had problems testing large movies, too. Didn't find a work around, except to test outside the authoring environment. Just wanted you to have the comfort of knowing you're not the only one. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

you can't trace the progress in the authoring environmet. this is because the swf is not being downloaded, and thus, there is no download progress. (literally, the progress event fires when ever data is written to the disk. in the case of doing test movie, the whole swf is already written to the...

make the menu a movieclip, set the x postion to the left of the screen, put a click handler on the tabs that starts a tween, interval, or transition that brings the menu to the right. if you're not an advanced user, i'd suggest a tween. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

should work. maybe if you can post your fla we might find something? worth a try. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

hmmm. yes, it did work sometimes in Flash MX, so I'd imagine it would work sometimes in Flash MX 2004 as well. but I've learned to live without it, especially since it makes large software apps run painfully slow, which is what i'm usually working on. Sorry, I don't know under what conditions...

It is possible. Use Flash Remoting. I can't guide you step by step as it is a rather large project, but hopefully just knowing it's possible will help you to try it until you get it. Feel free to post more specific questions about whatever point you're at along the way. Philip Keiter Senior...

I see that several people have noticed that certain Flash 7 UI Components have certain un-skinnable elements. They have also correctly guessed that this is because the componenents create these elements with code rather than using skins in the library. Here's how you get around it. First...

do you know how to do flash remoting? if so, i can help you. if not, you'll have to read up on it first, as it's more than a post-full. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

You can't extend Button or TextField, only MovieClip. MovieClip is the base of all things visual in Flash. Don't be afraid to extend MovieClip to make your Button Classes. class MyButton extends MovieClip try not to think of MovieClip as being a "movie". MovieClip just means "visible object"...

oh and if you're new to this, i should mention that you need to give the clips linkage identifiers in the library. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

ouch! that's a lot of frames! I'd recommend you put each frame into a movieclip in the library and instead of going to different frames, load the different clips. the advantage is that you can sort your stuff into folders in the library, thus making it easier to find what you need to change...

This should help: my_array = new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15); short_array = my_array.slice(0, 10); my_txt.text = short_array.join(", "); Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

you could do this.unloadMovie(); Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

you must set break points for the debugger to work, and even then not all variables you want to see will be listed. basically, the debugger is useless and no one (that i know of) uses it. use trace() to track your variables. like this: count = 0; count = 3; trace(count); count = 6...

if using flash 7, make sure the parent swf doesn't itself have any flash 7 components, as there are issues with a swf with flash 7 UI components loading other such swfs into it. Philip Keiter Senior Flash Software Developer Sphyrras

convert you line into a movie clip. name it line_mc. then use this code. function moveLine() { line_mc._x = x_array[i]; line_mc._y = y_array[i]; i++; if (i == x_array.length) { clearInterval(interval); } } var i = 0; var x_array = new Array(200, 200, 250, 250); var y_array = new Array(0...
