Correct, its not possible unless you create a symbol for each point im afraid 2009/2/9 Anthony Pace anthony.p...@utoronto.ca That is exactly what I was going to say, and I have been trying to find something online; yet, I have found nothing, so I just assume its not possible to do it programatically, outside of the flash ide using jsfl.

[Flashcoders] component def doesn't pass params to constructor?
Hi list...
If I instance my mc associated with a Ball.as class, through code, there
is no problem:
var b:Ball = new Ball(basketball);
addChild(b);
// basketball shows up on stage
But, if I drag a Ball instance onto the timeline and set basketball
from the parameters panel of the tool palette, I get error 1063:argument
count mismatch. Expected 1, got 0. Shouldn't the parameter passed in
that panel get passed along to the constructor?
In the component definition, I've tried leaving the class field blank,
or filling it in with Ball. Neither works. In the component definition
is a var called which. It's a list. Am I missing a step?
Thanks,
- Michael M.
// The class is:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Ball extends MovieClip {
public function Ball(which:String){
gotoAndStop(which);
}
}
}

Well, it doesn't disprove my theory - that is the packaged version prior to the security patch. The version of projectors that my IDE now creates is 9.0.151.0 So, the mystery remains. Anyone with the unpatched version: Test your fullscreen projectors in Vista.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Fullscreen mode w/ Windows Projectors
Hi, I don't think that updating the FP updates the IDE one normally - I have never worked out how to do this, even with Kewbee's Plugin Switcher. Not wishing to sound too cynical, but if everyone upgrades their FP so easily, then content creators will have to keep up and they are the one's who have to shell out for the Adobe products, so maybe that's the reason behind this -or maybe it's the rush to keep the IDE on a high calorie diet of new features rather than concentrating on keeping it trim and mean by fixing the important things that it might be nice to get fixed.
