var n:Number = new Number(nString);
var newFrame:MovieClip = this["Frames"+n];
newFrame.zoomIn();

Would that work?

Hello chaps,

I have a little flash project coming up, a christmas card, that requires a christmas tree shape to be dynamically filled with messages from an XML doc. A word/tag cloud basically.

Just thought I'd add the solution to this issue;

Pretty simple fix, just scale down your symbol to be rotated and it looks pixel perfect;...

Hmmm... ok I guess I will just have to force it somehow to revert to its original dimensions. It sure looks like a glitch to me, I dont see why anyone would want the dimensions of a movieclip to...

Hey guys,

I'm struggling with a glitch and I just can't work it out. I've reduced the problem back to its core and this is it;

Create a square movieclip 400px wide and tall. Give it an instance...

Uuuh... bad brain. I just needed to switch the graphic to a movieclip and it the smoothing = true fine now....

Hey guys,

I've got an animation with an embedded flv video in a graphic on my main timeline. The embedded video has been scaled down as I enlarge to its full original size later on in the...

Yeah its a facepalm moment alright.

I think Jobs should at least experience the absolute cluster f*** that is work with those three technologies together trying to create something that Flash does much better, quicker and much more...

Jobs seems convinced he knows the whole story and the intricacies of Flash and is just ploughing on with his rhetoric/rant. The number of mistakes in his essay are quite bewildering.

But...

Ah...... I cant use a component in the presentation. I don't think.

I find it strange that its not possible to access something as rudimentary as the volume of an embedded video with AS3. Gah.

Hi guys,

Having a little problem here. I've got an embedded video in a flash presentation I am making and that works fine. I've then duplicated that video, flipped it to create a reflection of the...

Ah its easy;

tabChildren = false;

Hi guys,

I've been trying to figure out how to disable the mouse focus that you see when you tab through a swf file. I'm getting them pop up now and then and the client doesn't want them..... I've...

Hmm thanks for this, you could be onto something. I also tried it in CS3 with a combination of settings (AS, flash player, fps) and it still won't jump to frame 25 when the graphic first enters the...

Hi guys,

I've got an embedded video in my CS4 AS3 project and I've converted it to a graphic. I'd like the graphic to start at frame 25 instead of the default frame 1, and I've entered 25 into the...

Wow thank you very much Ralgoth! That worked perfectly. I had worked out a different method from another forum using MovieClip(parent.root) to get from the loaded swf back up to the loader swf to...

Hi guys,

I'm really not getting anywhere with this at all.... I have made a piece of flash that runs on an xml document and now I need to pass a flash variable (via the html swfobject) to the...

The NHS has its problems but I for one am glad to know that if I ever have a serious health issue it will be sorted. Eventually. It's a nice safety net of reassurance. Of course its not the same a...

Ah thanks a ton..... um.... 5tons. This look really promising. Don't fully understand the pixel bender stuff but I suppose I better learn something today rather than just get you to explain...

Ah thanks for the info. I'll need to steer clear of the joa-ebert stuff unfortunately, even though it has the twirlMap thing which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Do you know is there is a way to...

Hi chaps,

I'm looking for any AS3 script that might help me create a dynamic swirling effect. I need to apply this effect to a dynamically populated movieclip and presumably it uses bitmapdata and...

Ah I worked it out. I just needed to get the metadata from the stream to get the duration and my old code works perfectly with that;

//this is in my connect stream function
var netClient:Object =...

Hey,

I am also having trouble finding anything online regarding this too. Just can't seem to find any tutorials/source on how to get the streaming video to scrub forwards. Loads online about...

I'd check the old post times too. I just got some stuff mailed over from home in the UK to here in Van and apparently it's going to take 3 weeks. 3 weeks by plane!! I think it might be one of those...
