I'm trying to make it possible to change the formatting of a dynamic textField to hanging indents using textFormat.

I figured that the easiest way is to set indent to a negative number and then...

Hi

I'm trying to load variables from a .asp-file on a different server than the one my flashfiles are on.

Am I right in assuming that for this to work I need to have a script on the...

Just what I needed, thanks a lot!

If you're using MX it's actually as easy as making an empty movieclip as a placeholder(instancename f.ex. 'myImage'), placing it where you'd like the top left corner of the loaded image to be and...

I'm looking for a way to retrieve all the properties of an object, not necessarily knowing what the properties are called.
Something like a 'getpropertylist'-function.

Anybody know how I can do...

I'm just starting my first major xml-based project, and I'm wondering about this.

Intuitively it feels easier to me to access the data if I parse the XML and put the info into objects/arrays to...

I've been looking for a solution to the same problem, so I'm wondering :

martsch : did you have any luck finding a tool to do this?

keyone.it : from what I've understood in the past (flash5)...

Well the basic idea is that something like
myvariable=<FONT FACE='Arial'>the text I want to show</FONT>
can be used.

If you have the text to display and keep the fontinfo in a variable you can...

I think you can change the font if you use html-formatted text. Just make a function to replace the 'Font face'-tag.
If I remember correctly you have to embed the font you're going to change to, or...

Don't know if there's a simpler solution to this, there probably is.

But this works:

a="pos";
a1=ball;
a2=200;
a3=100;
eval(a)(a1,a2,a3);
//or: this[a](a1,a2,a3);

Haven't tested this, but you can try:

tmp = eval("_parent.TheGrid." + thecell + "." + source);
blar=tmp.lblarray[x];

might work,

Issue
Sound.attachSound does not work with shared sounds

Reason
The attachSound method takes as a parameter...

If the identifier-name is for instance "soundVar1" it should be written as a string in the attachSound statement.

If you got this to work without the random-script, adding that shouldn't be too...

I don't really know why, but I think that adding the statement 'void(0)' to the getURL-call will solve the problem.

getURL("javascript:someFunction();void(0);");

If soundvar is a string and not a variable this should work:

s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("soundVar"+(1+random(7)));
s.start();

Note: random(7) will give results from 0 to 6 and not from...

First of all, I agree 100% with julianj.

People are spending their time trying to help you here, and sounding somewhat aggressive doesn't give the impression that you're grateful for that.

As far as I know you can't do it directly.

The best way I've come up with is to hardcode the duration of the sound and use a timer to decide if the sound is still playing.

something like:

You can't get the current label directly.

You can use the javascript method TCurrentLabel and FScommand to achieve the same....

There's another way (PC-only, I believe); have a look here:

Something like
newnumber=Math.round(x*100)/100;
should work.

Very nice. I didn't know that was even possible.

Do you know if it's possible to change the height of the box as well?

The basic idea I had was that the txt-file should refresh if you load it with a random variable.
This should make your browser believe that it is a new file (becauseand reload it properly.

Try
