While I agree that eval still had a use or two, you can easily write the function yourself and just add it to your code Library.. almost as good On Mar 4, 2006, at 5:40 PM, Boon Chew wrote: The problem is when you get an entire string (the target name), you just want to get to the refer

Does anyone have a working example of the Drumbeat comp? All I know is if you need to drop a div on top of your flash app using FSCommand, you may as well build the app with AJAX. I didn't see online examples of this component, just screenshots. Can someone set me straight? Mike ___

Goowy email application? I haven't seen the HTML capability, but it's obviously possible to write a browser, or a subset of a browser in actionscript. I did this for e2website. But mine only interpreted a subset of HTML tags. If Goowy have implimented a full browser, then that's pretty neat pro
