So in a nutshell, you think it will probably work if I play a swf using the pocket PC player, but it may not work if I play a projector file because it incorporates its own player. OK - I can...

I don't really know. It's a flash movie but has a .exe extension rather than a .swf extension.

I had hoped that pocket PC would just require it's own version of the flash player and that would...

Hi,

This is possibly a silly question but will a normal flash movie executable (for example cerated with flash 5) run OK on Pocket PC?

I'm thinking of getting an ipaq but I want to make sure...

Hi,

I have a seemingly jinxed flash movie. It calls a number of aspx (.net) scripts and up until last week it was all working fine.

All of a sudden for no reason that I can pin down, two of...

Thanks for the reply, but I still get the same effect. It's really annoying. The update always works. I can see it has done the update correctly, but the load doesn't return the up to date...

Hi,

I have a movie which is acalling an aspx script to return an xml document of bookings data. I seem to be having some caching problems. If I make some changes to the bookings and save them,...

Hi,

This is a site I did as a favour. I'd just like to make sure no one has any problems with it because I haven't tested on anything except IE.

Also let me know...

I agree completely that flash is a client side tool and should not be concerning itself with things like data access directly. This is exactly why the critical thing (for me) is to be able to...

I'm not doubting that there will still be XML support I'm just wandering whether it will be significantly faster than it was in flash 5. Realtime conncetion is also possible with flash 5 using...

I love flash and I've always wanted it to be a contender for real enterprise application development rather than just relatively small scale websites (please don't shout me down - I know it's...

I think that's just a bit of sleight of hand. In that scenario all that matters is the order of execution. At any point in time, and from any point in the hierarchy you can still only have one value...

I've looked at you article and it's an interesting approach. I was hoping to write a custom actionscript class to manage the SOAP encapsulation but I hadn't taken into account the application domain...

Excellent. Thanks very much, This looks to be just what I'm after and I'll check it out now.

That should do it.

That's XMLSockets I think, making them pretty much useless for going through firewalls. I shouldn't have that problem sending a SOAP package just as a normal HTTP request though I don't think.

This may be a long shot but does anyone have any experience of calling web services (specifically .NET web services) from a flash movie. I imagine this would involve packaging an XML doc inside a...

I don't have much experience using sound I'm afraid, but the statement:

if(sound="off")

will simply assign the value "off" to the sound variable rather than evaluate the truth of the...

In which case I expect it it's scope problem with the variable 'sound'. Try replacing every instance of the variable sound with _root.sound to guarantee that you're always targeting the variable...

You are using the assignment operator (=) instead of the equivalence operator (==).

So you should have:

if(sound == "off")

Have a tinker with this puppy. It's a smartclip for preloading swf files and might be useful:

It can't be that simple because the image doesn't scale in a uniform way. I'm afraid I don't really know how that would be done but I don't think a simple _yscale manipulation is going to cut the...

Getting hold of the mouse angle is really easy. Just use the Math.atan2 function and pass it the difference (x and y) between the clip and the mouse something like this:




xdiff =...

I don't think you're wrong necessarily, but I'm not sure that your analogy is all that helpful. All you need to remember is that if you have a variable myVar defined at _root level then it can be...

Well, that is the correct syntax. Reasons why it may not work include:

music is not a named movie clip in the right level in the hierarchy when the code is executed.

music-player.swf cannot be...

_root is _root is _root. It doesn't matter where in your movie you refer to it from, you will always be refering to the same thing.
