Re: [Flashcoders] physics engines - which do you recommend?

Box 2d is great - particularly since the recent 2.1 update. If it's 3d you want though, definitely look into JigLib. -- Mark Burvill Antifuzz www.antifuzz.com twitter.com/antifuzz Tel: 07780 608 498 On 25 Jun 2010, at 10:56, allandt bik-elliott

Did you get the 10.0.2 patch? http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flash/updates/10_0_3/Flash_10_0_3_AdobeUpdate.dmg CS4 was notoriously buggy on launch, but the above patch sorts a lot of the stability. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Burvill Antifuzz www.antifuzz.com

[Flashcoders] Filtering xml with E4X

Hello flashcoders, I'm trying to work out how to filter the below XML (loaded into a var called projectsXML) by the contents of the tag nodes, but can't quite get it working. So for instance, how would I use an E4X expression to return an XMLList that contained only those projects which

Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac?

Yep - another vote from Textmate from me. It's speeded up my coding ten times over. Although I'll also put in a word for Sepy, which I used to use on PC. It always used to be really buggy on Mac, but a new release has just come out that *so far* seems a lot more stable on OS X. M. Reuben

[Flashcoders] Detecting a click on an html link in a text field

Hi List, If you have an href link within an html text field in Flash, is there any way of detecting when the user clicks on it? Not being a standard button, you obviously can't do: on (press) { doStuff(); } But is there another way? Cheers.

That's a good idea hadn't thought of that. Mind you, don't think we can use FP8 but worth considering. I'm still looking for the reason that it doesn't work straight from the hard drive though. Is it a Flash player thing or a service pack thing? *- **Mark Burvill* Interactive
