ECMA question

[Hrvoje]

i have a question about ECMA-262 (document put together by European Computer Manufacturing Assoc.)

Apparently,...(at least in flash 5),...tell target command was not ecma-262 compliant,...

Does this mean that on european computers anything with telltarget command isn't working propertly?

Any clue if that problem persist in flash mx also?

thanks, appreciate it.

just means it's not ECMA standard. It will work... ECMA is just a standards group.

Telltarget was deprecated in FlashMX with the with...

oh,..ok,...thanks for clearing that up,..i was affraid i'd have to go back to all my scripts and change all telltargets to withs

[gerbick]

you can still use telltarget in MX, but with basically replaced it. Check the actionscript dictionary (online) to check the syntax.

ok,..one last question,...
all the sites i created so far using telltarget,....what's the downfall of that?

should i ,..or shouldn't i go back and start changing the code?

thanks.

(i'ma use with from now on)

Moved here...

I don't think you should go back and remake your old sites. If its not broken, don't fix it, etc...

Use with only if you have FlashMX. The good thing about learning it now is that you'll know how to use it come future iterations where the flash player may drop telltarget in future versions. Not the MX player, but maybe the next one.
