Which of the following two techniques do you use when coding a similar (and
common) process in actionscript:var mcTemp:MovieClip =
this.attachMovie(mcCircle, mcCircle+nCounter, nCounter, oMain);mcTemp._x =
Math.random()*600;mcTemp._y = Math.random()*400;nCounter++;or

nClipDepth:Number;function spawnClip():Void{var mcTemp:MovieClip =
I prefer the first one, the main advantages for me is that you can use
code completion in most of actionscript editors, the code is cleaner and
the compiler knows the type of the object when you try to assign a value
to its property _x.

Hi Stephen,
You are incrementing nCounter without ever initializing it. In Flash 6
and earlier if you incremented an undefined value it treated it as 0,
but in Flash 7 and later it remains undefined. Set nCounter to 0 first
and all should be well.

Hi,
If you are into actionscript, you should have no trouble with that part
of the exam.
So fear not, I found it a lot easier than expected, but questions might
differ of course.

I am trying to use a remote webservice in .net in my flash
application.
Can any body please give me link to the tutotrial or tell me
how can I use a .net weservice in my flash application using
remoting component.
Try the Webservice component instead of the Remoting component.
You must do customerAbout = customer.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue; to
get the textNode and its value. Sometimes this is confusing, but the
text itself
is in fact a node too.

Also, so that I make sure I have my technology correct, as I
understand with remoting the client receives native data

string data?
it's SOAP - which is an XML protocol over HTTP. So it's essentially a
string of XML data. I use it,
Thanks Jason, that is what I was thinking. So the WebService (and
supporting classes) parse the returned SOPE for you, so when you get
the callback you are just handling native data types? Or do you have
to build your own parser?

Yes, right - the webservices component handles the parsing of the SOAP
data - you can then start using the data natively as an object with
properties and arrays - depending on how your data is formatted. No
need to parse out the XML, it's done for you already.

We have built a Flash application, published for FP8 that is wrapped in a

Part of the functionality is that it dynamically loads and plays back FLVs

The only place I see where this could fail, is at your if line.
You should probably calculate nTBytes outside your checkLoad() function and
pass it as a variable at your first call.
for your if statement you should maybe write it like this :

Neither. I use the technique where you put carriage returns after each

Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem occurring after moving a number of movieclips
to a shared library. My movie has 3 frames, each frame using some (but
not all) imported movieclips from the shared library. I have pre-loaded
the library and the first frame displays and functions properly.
Is it possible to extract the height and width of a swf file with a
command in php?
Or is there another way to do this. it's because we want to make a
table height dynamic to the size of the swf file. Just curious?
Thanks,
patrick

On idea...
You could use Stage.width and Stage.height in Flash - send those
variables via Javscript/externalInterface and use a javascript
function to adjust the height/width of the table.

Gee Steve,
You normally are such a force for good in the world.
But that post on the Flash cert was harsh.
I can understand why you wouldn't take the time of day to think about taking
a cert exam. But then why take the time to bash it?
The cert thing is good. Not evil.
The getimagesize() function does it for you.

I don't agree with the smartassitude, but perhaps what Steven is
insinuating is that proving that you know some syntax does not prove
that you can actually do anything with it. I'm not at the epicenter
of the Flash Universe and I think the cert is worthless. Is that a
better way to put it? ;)

you hit the essence of it. it is hopping over a low bar.
