Hi guys,

@neznein9: I tried 'unicode' but hit exactly the same issue. The docs say that 'utf-16' is just an alias for 'unicode'

@Genesis F5: Interesting example. I've been wondering if I might...

Hi 5TonsOfFlax,

Thanks for the reply. I thought it should work based on the information in the documentation as well, but I can't seem to make it to the trick. Here is a little example that I just...

Hello all,

Is there a way to write a UTF-16 string into a ByteArray in Flash/AS3? Basically I have a string (var test:String="allan"; for example) and I would like to write that into a ByteArray...

Turns out that I needed to set the pixelhinting value to 'true' for the line style:


g.lineStyle( 1, 0xFF0000, 1, true );

I guess it's an optimisation for the Flash player to have it default...

Hi AttackRabbit,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I had considered that sub-pixel calculations might be the issue, to I made sure that in my example above that I used only integer values. The only...

Hello all,

I'm just starting out with AS3, so I'm trying my hand as some of the more basic drawing functions, to try and get a handle on them. The problem I've hit is using 'curveTo' to create a...

Q. How do you tell if there is a drummer at the door?
A. The knocks get faster.

Q. What do when a viola player dies?
A. Move them one desk back.

Oddly enough it redirects to a different page (in the atoall.com domain) before finally sending the browser to the target domain. It also only works if you have Javascript enabled (meta refresh and a...

Hello all,

I'm looking into a little experimental project which will involve a dynamically created Word document. Does anyone know is this is possible in Flash? Or at a more basic level, is it...

Nope - get the bus / walk :)

However, doing a slow drive across the Forth Road Bridge won't be particularly difficult since traffic is at a crawl on most weekends anyway...

Yup - that looks like a nice simple solution - as long has you have Javascript enabled. Requiring Javascript to get the right CSS seems a little odd though.

Oh this is a feeling I know all to well. You might be interested in a little open source project I've been working on of late called Conditional-CSS. This will let you put inline conditions into CSS...

Thanks yasunobu13!

That script is fantastic - exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. One little thing I stumbled across was quote makes for the path to the web browser. I has to use triple...

Hello all,

Could anyone point me in the direction of how one can write a script for Windows (XP) which would launch a web-browser, take a screenshot and then save the screenshot in a file? Is it...

Yes - absolutely. It won't do anything interesting unless you then kick off another process though. onclick and friends can run any javascript.

Hello all,

I've been working on a little project recently which basically overlays a dynamic layout grid over a web-page using JavaScript. I was wondering if a few of you could give it a go to...

Can you install it with a non-admin account? Just remove admin privileges from her account?

Of course - removing her MSN access cos you hate it is a bit mean really...

Yup - a quick search of the HD finds nothing.

Gutting. Looks like an undelete program will be the way to go.

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone can offer a little advice about a Windows problem to a Mac head? I have a laptop which connects to a managed network (a school) which came up with a message...

It seems okay - but I prefer my combination of cyber duck and textmate, with web-browsers and terminal on different virtual desktops.

Coudl the white space just be spaces ( ) being rendered from your markup. Try taking out all tabs, newlines and spaces where you are seeing the problem, and check if that makes a difference....

It works perfectly - what an inspired solution - thanks catbert!

Interesting problems are good (when they can be solved...)

Thanks
Allan

Not only that you would have to wait until 'head' is available - however loading a stylesheet by DOM methods has the bigger overhead of an additional HTTP request which could be quite slow - leading...

Oh - forgot to say - Adobe Contribute is apparently good for this kind of thing as well - but I've never used it so can't say...

Basically you are looking for a Content Management System. There are many freely available ones out there (Mambo etc) which should be fairly easy to install. Most open source CMSs are very complete...
