Hah, this is pretty funny, I've never seen someone reference code I worked on. I didn't come up with it, I think I got it from javascript.com, but I do have some advice.

We were using it for an...

Just change the scale of a placeholder MC that you would load the movie into.

Creat a rectangle 770x440. Make it a movie clip (MC). Let's say it's called 'position'. Look in the info panel...

I'm using getURL("javascript:someFunction()");

occasionally, clients are seeing the javascript call appear on the url line (address) and the browser open to a blank page. In other words getURL()...

I've been trying this for a while. Static text fields are no problem, by dynamic fonts flat out don't work. I'm wondering if it's a PC/ MAC thing. By any chance are you using a mac?

havn't done it myself, but it's a DHTML thing. Here's a start.

this kinda thing should work.

initialize in frame 1
loop in frames 2 and 3


frame 1
width = 500; //movie width
i = 1;
numberOfSteps = 8;

remove the fonts you are using from the system one by one. If your file stops crashing when a font is removed, then that was the problem. Replace the font.

ah, to use it just:

variable = replaceBreaksInXML (someNode.attributes.name);

or

variable = replaceBreaksInXML (someNode.nodeValue);


It adds about 350 bytes.

answered my own question.

For those who want it here's a function that makes the "\n" escape sequence evaluate back to a line break in XML attributes or node values.

note: don't put a line...

We're using attributes in our xml and those are getting put into variables and we would like to get a block of text in there with line breaks, dumped into those same variables.

Is there any way? ...

Any documentation on this? I thought it was only IE 4.5 mac and only when viewed locally. Meaning it would work on the servers, but doesn't look like it when the files are on your computer.

Do...

Even if it isn't the only problem, my experience is that the XML files will cache unless you append a queery string with a different value, I prefer to append the time as that will always be...

The command for the button would be:

on (release) {
TellTarget("nameofclipinstance") {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}

If the pictures are all the same size, then it's easier. Can you do that?

I know that _url returns the URL of the flash file, however if that file is called from a page on a different server, the relative links will be relative to the HTML page. Is there a way I can...

if the .swf, the text.txt file and the HTML are in the same directory, then yes, otherwise the rule is the references in the .swf are relative to the HTML file, except if the client is IE 4.5 mac,...

no not really

Ah well Flashkit doesn't like to display tabs, let's see pretend the ( is a <

(?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?) stick that up top.

and the duplicated tab at the end ...

ha, still diggin' it.

Wow, that's some nasty malformed xml. I saw it come in as a partial file, I saw it come in seemingly complete then I saw it come in with the opening tab duplicated right before the ending tag.

Is it possible the text window is taller than the screen? If so the scroll is only going to scroll the text in the window till the last line is in it. It won't scroll farther as far as I understand.

Thanks everyone for the nice wishes. And yes our baby has a body, but I didn't want to ridk running afowl of any laws. His name is Cullen.
