Thanks Danny, I think you're right, the XML Object is pretty fast and
if it is going to take a while to load then storing the ID somewhere
else and checking that file is probably the best way to approach this.
Cheers everyone!

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew how can Flash 8 or 9 can access the USB port?
Would I need to use a third party software such as ZInc or mProjector?
I had a look at Zinc and mProjector and it looks like none of them are
supporting USB. Does anyone know which application would do that?
Usb is like a serial port. So zinc does support it, dunno about mProjector.
Try it with hyperterminal.

How can I embed that image at run time (and not load) in swf for a

Any idea would be a great help.

How are you inserting the cue points?
If you are not embedding the cue points directly into the file, then
your callback will only happen on the previous, closest key frame.
Also, Sorenson has had issues in the past with mis-aligned cue points
and keyframes. I stopped using it altogether a
Hi guys,
I'm looking at documenting code with Natural Docs for the first time, so I'd
appreciate it if anyone had any tips or advice regarding how to get this
done effectively.
I've done a quick initial runthrough and found it's duplicated all my
properties within the Summary section, so that's
confirmed.. same issue here..
I found it trying to get a mProjector exe with embedded universal
plugin to talk to a director app which obviously uses the rosetta
emulation..

Hey, thanks for checking this. I am writing a class where the
onRelease event of the button is handled within the class. This is so
I can make a class that can be reused across re-skinned FLAs just by
passing the button instance to the class (so I don't need to assign a

You need to use Delegate to keep your scope within the class:
import mx.utils.Delegate
class MyClass
{
//stuff
private function setActions():Void
{
myButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,
myOnRelaseHandler)
}
private function
Use some kind of delegation (e.g. mx.utils.Delegate). (off: using this
is not required in AS2 classes)
sendBtn.onRelease = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, sendHandler);

Not in the same text area, no. Pretty sure anyway. Text areas have an
aliased property which is for the entire text area, not individual
characters, and the
Director can almost certainly access USB ports, probably via an Xtra
(director plugin). Perhaps you could embed your flash in a Director
movie? You would have to do some Lingo coding to access act as a bridge
between the USB and flash, but these days there is a pretty good set of
Lingo
You would only use super() if you're extending. It sounds like he was using
composition, but thinking of inheritance.

well... you can't really use regular expressions in flash8 unless you

If for some reason you want to put your own title textfield in the header,
you'll need to have a movieclip (instance name
'title_mc') that contains a textfield (instance name 'text') inside your

Woops.. that's incorrect..
You need to have a textfield named title_mc
