Thanks, CDATA works super. Now I only have problem with the <b> tag which makes all the text between <b> and </b> disappear. I have tried with <strong> which has no effect. Any suggestions?

using <span> gives the same result

You could check out http://www.zoomify.com/flash/ . They sell a component that would solve your problem. It's quite easy to use.

getURL("mailto:name@server.com");

you can use setInterval to change the alpha value of the clips until they reach the desired value. remember to cancel the setInterval when you get there.

also you could use this extension...

you can use Sound.position to track how much of the soundclip that have been played. and then start again with Sound.start at the position where you stopped the clip. note that Sound.position uses...

just place it on the main stage if that's where the button is located

what you want to do is easier if your buttons actually were movieclips, but here's one suggestion to your problem if you prefer to have buttons as buttons.

in the up-frame of the button place a...

a problem i've encountered all too many times myself. usually i end up using a combination of hitTest, onRollOver/Out. if you know the coordinates of your clip you can maybe use Mouse._x / _y to see...

i use a php script that searches all the files names in a specific folder and passes them on to flash. it goes like this:

flash:


var directory = "images/";
var lv = new LoadVars();...

i don't think you can dynamically load images or movies into Library so if the user has diasabled cache i guess he/she will just have to consume more bandwith :)

you can use css and z-index to layer flash movies and html. also you should look into how you publish your flash movie. you can make them transparent using different window modes. look in publishing...

looks like i have to html the code to bypass the flashkit filter

i use zoomify ( http://www.zoomify.com ), but then again it's not for free.

i don't know of any way to do it with html nor javascript or anything else. i was hoping someone could come up with a creative workaround...i guess it will end up being browser specific

is there any way to use getURL and have the link open in a new tab (opera, firefox).

thanks for clarifying that, my mistake

you can pass variables to a movieclip when you use the attachMovie. try something like this:

this.attachMovie("movieName", "instanceName", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {variable1:somedata,...

works fine on my computer

i never use buttons myself. movieclips do the same and more. why don't you make the button into a movieclip and use attachMovie when the other button is pressed....

or you could use a combination...

you can only duplicate static movies. dynamically loaded movies created with attachMovie or createEmptyMovieClip can not be duplicated

your script looks ok to me. is it enabling the buttion again that doesn't work?? you could have a _root.current_button that holds a reference to the button that is currently pressed.
