Re: [Flashcoders] yet another screwing from micrsoft
The discussion on this seems to be broken into 3 groups 1. Microsoft - how could they do this to us 2. Look at all the money you can make charging clients to implement the fix 3. Such a nightmare to implement - panic stations! My thoughts/responses... 1. Microsoft didn't WANT this to happen, it's the result of trying to comply with a law suit. As much as all you anti-microsoft people like to not beleive this, I'm sure they're very aware of what effect this will have on the Flash audience and are just trying to keep everyone on both sides happy 2. That's like being a funeral director and getting excited when people pass on - not a good mentality at all. 3. 6 months from now we'll all be complaining about the next technical issues that comes before us - probably Flash/Adodbe player issues or the google browser not rendering flash properly ;) Despite all the panic - Flash will live on.

Re: [Flashcoders] MTASC and spaces in classpath
Escaping spaces is fine in the Terminal, but not in Eclipse using Flashout. That's the issue here, how to define the Class Path in Eclipse. I've read a post about it at http://www.pixelmotive.de/blog/archives/2005/06/fame_on_mac.php Basically what it says is to create a shell script that catches the call to mtasc then echoes the full mtasc command line into a seperate shell scripts and returns mtasc's output. Here is a shell script that works for me, you can save it anywhere and give it a name with the .sh extension make it executable like this chmod a+x locmtasc.sh and here is the shell script itself #!/bin/sh echo #!/bin/sh subc.sh echo /usr/local/bin/mtasc $@ subc.sh chmod a+x subc.sh ./subc.sh exit $? note that the shell will create a shell file for you, you don't need to create an empty one yourself. once this is done go in the Eclipse Preferences - Flashout in the Location of mtasc.exe enter the path to your locmtasc.sh : /Users/username/Documents/workspace/locmtasc.sh and voilà you sould be able to make Flashout work with mtasc The thing is that Eclipse adds quotes around the Macromedia Class Path, but it fails to parse correctly through Flashout. With this shell script the problem is solved. Alain Chris Allen wrote: Erixtekila is right. you need to escape those spaces.

Re: [Flashcoders] MTASC and spaces in classpath
Oh yes, the old Flashout on Macintosh problem; sorry that I didn't realize that was what you were referring to. I haven't been using Flashout; I find that Ant just works better for my work flow. Many others seem to agree. Anyway, if you are interested there are some excellent Ant utilities for building Flash from as2lib called as2ant that might be of interest.

[Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site
Hi, I have to define what technologies and how much I´ll ask for an e-commerce Flash website. I pretend using PHP and MySQL and did read that it´s better using already made codes, is it true? Does anyone knows a good one? The store will accept payment with all credit cards and Pay Pal. I have experience using PHP and MySQL but never did an online store, so I´ll thank any help about this.

[Flashcoders] Idea- beta tester contest.
I came across this articlehttp://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/software/appdev/story/0,10801,108504,00.htmlwhile doing some reading about Sun's Mustang. What caught my attention was the mention of a contest run by sun to find errors in regression tests in the new Java. Now I might have taken this entirely out of context but it gave me an idea that I wanted to throw out there and see if anybody from Adobe thinks it's worth catching. We have the Flex Derby -right? How about an 8.5 player bug-finding competition. We all know that it's very important to the face of the Player 8.5 to be as close to flawless as possible. I personally feel that the tendency now is to toy with the new features etc. How about motivating people to make sure that legacy content works and if it doesn't finding out where it fails? Okay- that's it for my idea. If it's dumb then ignore or flame me. I've got my asbestos on...but it's worth a thought.

Re: [Flashcoders] Object move
Have you traced back the value you are trying to use to change the x pos? lap2_mc._x += int ((slidertav_mc.slider_mc._x + slidertav_mc.width/2)+100); Shouldn't it be _width? try going : var amount:Number=(slidertav_mc.slider_mc._x + (slidertav_mc._width/2)+100); Also, one thing you could do to optimize this script rather than having the onEnterFrame running all the time, is to define the onMouseMove event or the onEnterFrame when the startDrag occurrs and kill it when its done. That way you don't have something running all the time, when you don't need it to be. Hi all! Since this time i was only a reader of your mailing list, but now I have a problem which needs help.
