Is there a property or function to detect if a Flash movie is being tested
in authoring mode or live on the web?
Basically I have added a random variable to my xml file when loading it to
prevent caching.
The following works in both authoring and when live
myXML.load("xml/homeFlashContent.xml");
Also = try to redraw as little of the screen as possible from frame to frame.
If your entire screen is constantly redrawing, that takes a lot of
processing power.
So alpha fades that affect the entire screen or moving/animating a
sprite which covers the entire screen are problems.

Hi Paul,
Take a look at System.capabilities.playerType.
System.capabilities.playerType=="External" means you're running in the IDE.
System.capabilities.playerType=="Plugin" means you're running in a browser.

Hi,
I have used the "_root.url" variable before to detect whether it is
an "http" or a "file" based one and done caching based on that.

Seems to me that if you say "network only" to an executable, it's like
running it in a browser with no "default" domain, whereas an AIR application
isn't restricted.

In the browser the flash swf is loaded from a particular domain and access
outside that domain requires the crossdomain policy.
In an Air application there is no concept of the domain that the swf
Johan - from memory, I'm not sure AIR needs the crossdomain file,
whereas browser-based Flash does.
That might explain the discrepancy.
(That is from memory, though - probably needs doublechecking...)

Looking at the flash player security model, a projector has a local security
sandbox while a browser launched swf has a security sandbox that includes
it's own domain, so this would explain why your projector would be
restricted.

I am aware of that, so if-else would be the only way to go I guess.

I think that my point was that the sandbox permissions for the projector are
restricted to the machine it runs on and you need the policy file in place
to go anywhere else.
I'm not saying Adobe did the right thing for projectors, just how it is.

flexibility. That way,

So basically I have a bunch of thumbnail images set up in a grid form, each
is the same movieclip just multiple instances of it. This movie clip has a
rollover and rolloff state that basically scales the image up, this is done
with external as that loops through and creates the event listeners for
Preston,
There are two possible issues:
1. The scaled image is overlapping other scaled images and messing up your
chain of events fired
2. The tween method you are using to scale is not being properly terminated
and restarted/triggered. (How are you scaling the images?)

Thanks, Jiri.
One other thing worth mentioning is that an integer is actually 4 bytes, so
you have 32 bits. I kept my example to one byte for simplicity. If you want

There is stuff offstage, but I am not sure if it is in a guide layer

Why this would happen in FP10 and not 9 though??

not sure, maybe FP10 defaults to a different stage alignment. Maybe
try explicity stating the stage alignment and see if that fixes it.

So each element in a ByteArray can hold 8 bits.
What about the readInt() method of the ByteArray, does an integer then
span over 4 elements of the bytearray. And if I start at position 0 and
then call the readInt(), is the position after that then 4?
