In the last few days, I've seen a handful of people refer
apologetically to use of the _global object. To paraphrase: "I'm in a
situation where I have to use _global variables," or, "We all know _global
is a no-no, but I'm tempted to use it in this one weird case," etc. In

That seems to sum it up, for sure. Thanks, Odie.

Wow! Yes, thank you, Yotam. Now I'm slapping my forehead, too. It
doesn't get easier than that.

True, but in this scenario I'm writing a class that needs to
determine this with the user's MCs as they are. Definitely the way I'd go,

I suspect the answer to this one is purely geometry. It's trivial
to determine the width or height of a movie clip: there's the _width and
_height properties, of course, as well as getBounds(). But when the clip is
rotated, the concept of "width" changes. I'm looking for a way to determ
Got it! The solution is due entirely to Arjan van Ham, who recently
Googled a year-and-a-half old variant of my question on the flash-db.com
forum. Thanks Arjan!
Now that I see it, the answer is slap-your-forehead obvious. eval()
to the rescue.

I'd like to use Function.apply() on WebService instances' web
methods. Should be pretty straightforward, right? Turns out the answer is
no. I figure the quickest way to illustrate my problem is to relate my
journey in a few blocks of code.
Here's a successful sample, using a fre

Use a different Linkage id, because BoundingBox is alread taken.

Actually, I was talking about movie clip based buttons. :) In my
testing, it is both movie clips and buttons (symbol buttons) that fire the
onRelease and onReleaseOutside when a key is pressed.
HOWEVER, I just learned this issue only occurs when you test the SWF
inside the IDE.
Is anyone else seeing this? Draw a shape, convert to button or mc.
Code the following:
btn.onPress = function() {
trace("pressed");
}
btn.onRelease = function() {
trace("released");
}
btn.onReleaseOutside = function() {
trace("released outside");
}

Heh, you can't build *anything* yet less than 240KB! :-p
