    createEmptyMovieClip

    hey Bill, I'm unable to go to the URL. btw, do you want me to toss whatever I wrote in the on enter frame(see your 3rd reply) into the on load method? Thanks.

    createEmptyMovieClip

    sure. I'd like to take a look. I didn't know some of the classes could be extended in flash. Even if I don't use it I'll atleast learn something cool. Thanks for all your help .

    createEmptyMovieClip

    Also, if i remove the delete statement, it works. But the thing is onEnterFrame gets called over and over and over again. Is there any way to delete it at a later time? BTW, do you have any articles on Flash's garbage collection/ memory management Thanks

    createEmptyMovieClip

    Hi, I'm trying to create a button dynamically. I'm trying to use a createEmptyMovieClip method to create a &quot;movie clip&quot; and then giving it an onRelease event handler. But this doesn't seem to work. But when i make a movie, add it to the library and then attach it through...

    xml flash

    thanks, but you explain that a bit more...i don't think i completely follow you.

    xml flash

    nope...what i was asking was more like. <page> <func> foobar(){ trace(&quot;foobar&quot;); } </func> </page> then in flash bar = page.childNode.nodeValue; and then using bar all over the place to print foobar.
