What should I do with external classes?

Oh man, this is the worst. I can't fix it for my life:

So I'm dynamically loading a movieclip and then trying to load a sequence of images into it. I've done it a million times before, but I keep...

Hi all,

So I'm trying to call a php mail script from another server and it's not going through. I've set up my crossdomain.xml with the following:



<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE...

Ok, so I've tried changing my class export frame to 2. I'm trying to simulate with DSL speeds, but nothing is showing up (background, squiggly drawing, nothing) until like 85% shows loaded. It's just...

Hi, sorry to revive an old post, but maybe you guys can help.

I'm trying to do the same kind of thing, but when I use that code, it puts the target="_blank" at the end of my url. So I get:
...

Ok, I have a feeling that I'm going about this all wrong, but anywho:

I have a site with a three level nav bar. I've created movie clips for the menu elements (easier for positioning) with...

oh jeez, I'm sorry, joran is perfectly right.

use removeMovieClip (I think you can also unload the movie, but the remove gets it right out). So for what you have:

_root.removeMovieClip(mine1);

where mine1 is, assumedly, your instance name.

Ok, I'm almost done with this site (my first not using stage animation...for a big client...that was done in a week).


It's not a huge file in general (probably could be a lot smaller though),...

If I understand you correctly, you want the movieClip to lead to another frame on the main timeline.

in your movieClip, then, frame 75 where you have stop(); add a new line below stop that says...

I'm working on a site that needs to display ticketing information for like 38 theaters, and I'd love it to display like this ticketmaster screenshot.

I must be missing something here

I've read a few tutorials on adding and manipulating the scrollbar component in my code. So I dragged the scrollbar component onto the stage, but it only added...

I found this bit on the Actionscript forums, and it fixed all of my getNextDepth problems. Goodness.

ok, i've got it...i'm giving everything the same depth...(even when it's this.getNextHighestDepth())...duh. How can I reference the actual next depth...like the next depth of the lastchild?

Ok, I have another clue--

it's actually letting me attach anything, but only the very last thing. For example:

textContainer.attachMovie("mc", "mc_instance", _root.getNextHighestDepth());...

Nope, no luck...and I definitely have to reference my _root to get the right depth here...which is weird because it's fine to use this. in other nested functions. And also strange that I'm fine in...

So I have some yucky nested functions that are generally working well now, but I'm having an issue with having to constantly attach things to _root, rather than movieClips (even inside the function)....

Hmm. I got the this[] advice from another board, and that part, this[barName] is working fine...it's the contentName that's giving me trouble.

I'm grinding my teeth over this one--first of all, I'm going on the assumption that this nested functions business is bad practice, but I'm horribly new to this. I'm havving trouble in executing my...

I'm just getting into Actionscripting from a PHP and ASP background, and it's driving me nuts. I'm assuming that my problem here is with nested functions, but I want to call a function (or what I...

I want to create talking characters to animate some standup recordings, but I'd like to avoid having to go through all of the audio to sync up my animation. Can actionscript do anything to detect the...

If you are trying to make something in the style of a keyboard, you can also lay invisible square buttons over the text--not terribly efficient, but effective. Or try breaking up the text and...
