Is it possible to know if a class is being used in a flash movie? If
so, how?
Put a trace statement in the constructor of the class:
class foo {
function foo() {
trace(new foo);
}
}

The Ghostwire components are slim, quick, use the same methods that MMs
components use (dataProvider and what not), are easily skinnable, are
written in AS1 so you can go in and hack them if you like, etc.
I highly recommend them.

It's easy to do with vector or bitmap graphics. For bitmap, make your

Hello everyone,
I'm posting this here in order to provide another solution to the terrible
misinformation available on Macromedia's site about how to convert a
landscape image to portrait for printing using the PrintJob class.
The code posted here at Macromedia's forums is VERY WRONG:
function change() {
trace(change);
}
MyCmb.addEventListener(change, this);
MyCmb.selectedIndex = MyCmb.selectedIndex + 1;
Does not fire a change event. How do I detect when the combo box has

Have you set an interval to trace your XML object to see if the XML even
loads on the Mac at all regardless of the onLoad method being called?
function traceXML() {
trace(myXML);
}
checkXMLInterval = setInterval(this, traceXML, 1000);
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
I have a class that I'm using to make remoting calls. When a result comes
back, it dispatches an event passing the result.
Sometimes, one of the remoting calls will go out to multiple listeners but
only the one who made the request should handle the result event, the other
will ignore it unless
with which requester. I won't be getting anything back from the server
that tells me which it is supposed to go to.

Hi
Actually, the person who told you to use just autosize has it wrong. If you
set a textfield to autosize, it will expand the right edge to fit the text,
so unless you're putting linebreaks in your text manually, it won't adjust
the height of the textfield.

Welcome to Macromedia components. There really isn't a way around this
except to wait a frame or two to draw the combo boxes on the screen (which
simply delays the inevitable) OR download some slimmer components.
I highly recommend the Ghostwire component sets. They've worked very well
for me.
Why not make an empty movieclip in your library ahead of time, set its
linkage identifier to something like SYM_SPContent, and then
mysp.contentPath = SYM_SPContent;
var mc = mysp.content;
mc.attachMovie(...);
Sometimes the most straightforward solution eludes the best of us.

Instead of setting dynamic text values, set variables and assign the
variables to the textfields.
