Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate question...

You don't and should never have to. Create a custom button (MovieClip+Class) that dispatches an event (e.g. "release"), rather than using a generic Button/MovieClip symbol. So instead of: someMC.onRelease = Delegate.create(_level0, doSomething); you'd then use: function doSomething(o:Ob

I don't think Flash can do this on it's own. You'll need something server side to do the folder transversal. One solution is to send Flash an XML file replicating that structure. The file will have to be built in ASP or PHP or whatever flavor you're working with on the server. On Feb 1, 2008
