2006-10-15 Thread Paul Neave
The best way to turn sounds off isn't to use stopAllSounds() as that will only stop the sounds at that moment, not mute them permanently. If you're using timeline-based code, you can do this: s = new Sound(_root); s.setVolume(0); and to un-mute the sound: s.setVolume(100); Simple. Of course,

This is an age-old problem but I still can't find a decent solution. I'm looking for a JavaScript library or script for browser back-button support for Flash, and one that uses the hash notation in the browser window so users can navigate to points in a Flash movie through the address bar, e.g. my

[Flashcoders] AS3, BitmapData and domain security

2006-07-21 Thread Paul Neave
Hi group, I've only just discovered that in Flash 8 you can't .draw() a loaded image into a BitmapData object if the image was loaded from another domain. I've search about and found you can .draw() a SWF which uses System.security.allowDomain but there's no way to .draw() an image JPG, GIF, PNG e

Unfortunately Google doesn't have a mapping API for Flash, only for JavaScript. Your best bet is to use Yahoo Maps API here: http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ which is just as exhaustive as Google's API if not more so. HTH, Paul. On 19/07/06, Dave Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Does anyone hav

[Flashcoders] Smoothing dynamically loaded images in AS3

2006-06-30 Thread Paul Neave
When Flash 8 was released there was a 'feature' that meant any dynamically loaded image could not have its pixels smoothed when resized, and an ugly workaround was needed to smooth the image using BitmapData. Tinic Uro blogged about the problem here: http://www.kaourantin.net/2005/12/dynamically-
