Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData GlowFilter "zebra" effect?

Re: [Flashcoders] timezoneOffset inconsistencies
Thank Robert. I need to process times in various dates around the year and display them. That is easy as the time is sent to me as String and I know that it is always GMT+0100. The problems is that I need to countdown to the time. I cannot compensate for different time zones because timezoneOffset () doesn't return a reliable answer. With no way of knowing whether daylight saving is turned on or off and no way of knowing what's the time offset, how can this be done? Does UTC hold the solution here? Thanks, Yotam.

Correct usage of getBounds will give you the correct result.

Re: [Flashcoders] FP8 AS2 color picker and comboBox
If there's one piece of advice I can give you is to stay awat from Jumpeye Software's Color Picker Pro. It looks really nice and is very slick until you try and use it in a real world application. You CANNOT open the color picker with predefined values. The rainbow picker and lightness values don't adjust to the values. Sure, some of the color picker does respond, but not those parts. They say in the site and in the help docs that you can open the component with predefined values, you CANNOT, unless you don't care about the GUI NOT BEING IN SYNC with the actual values. I've been flipping over this component for days now trying to get it to work. Tech support took forever to answer and when they did all they could say that it's not implemented. Is this not expected behaviour? When I asked to be refunded because it doesn't do what it says on the box the cheeky bastard told me that I'm not eligible for a refund. He did offer to sell me his source code for $400 so that I can finish his work. Considering the fact that I can write one myself and all I wanted to do was save development time.. well... there you go. Thanks for nothing.

[Flashcoders] XML Form Collection Names
Hello List, I am trying to sendAndLoad XML data to a web service that requires that I set the name of the data in the Form Collection. My server-side people insist that this is how it should be done, although I never needed to set anyhing and sendAndLoad would always just work in the past. This is the trace from the server script, note on the bottom the Form Collection part. It is now formatted in the way that they would like it to be. Headers Collection NameValue Pragma no-cache Content-Length 140 Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded Host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:90 Referer http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:90/flashfolio.service.asmx/AssetList User-AgentShockwave Flash x-flash-version8,0,22,0 Form Collection NameValue RequestXML xml data goes here I've managed to make this work by using a LoadVars object like this: var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars (); lv.RequestXML = new XML ("xml data goes here"); But the XML string which is returned is escaped in a manner that I can't unescape it using unescape (str). Is there a way to set the name for the XML string using the XML object? Any ideas? Has Anyone come across this before? I'm pretty puzzled here.

Re: [Flashcoders] FlashMattic -My Hebrew Flash Blog
Danny, You switch keyboard layouts like you would with any other multi lingual setup on either mac or pc and you have the option to change the page direction to RTL. Numbers, English and panctuation behaves as expected theoritically, meaning that numbers for instance will be entered from left to right even when your page is right to left. This usually works... In my experience though it's always a bitch working with mixed inputs. You need an operating system which supports BIDI and ofcourse BIDI applications for heavy duty work. Windows and Mac OS support RTL out of the box, your problem is usually the applications. Yotam.
