im needing to create a mass mailer in php for a newsletter that is going to be sending out to 1000+ mailing list subscribers. my first attempt to send a mass email blast was to create a form that once submitted, uses a loop that takes all subscriber email addresses from a database and then...

ok, i did that and it worked like it normally should. so, could there be something that my code is doing? all im trying to do is load an external jpeg. var preloader:Object = new Object(); var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mcLoader.addListener(preloader)...

so, nothings wrong with my flash document and nothings wrong with how i embed it into the html page. when i upload my files to my server, it will freeze at the first frame and cease to function. at this point, the only thing i can blame is the server because if i put these files on any other...

you know how apple has popularized the reflection? well, is there a way to do that with actionscript in flash? id love to make a photo gallery that dynamically loads photos and then creates the reflection at runtime. would it even be practical to do it that way? am i making this harder than...

to my knowledge, i dont think you can fill an object with a symbol in the library. you could however use some actionscript in combination with a mask, 2-dimensional array, and some easy math to probably create the same effect. if all else fails, you can turn your graphic into a bitmap and use...
