i'm new to media server, so it's just a simple noob question. i'd like store a string in a persistant shared object using media server. i don't really know what the limitations of media server are, but it sounds like it should be quite simple. i guess i'm looking for something like: ////on...

i usually make a spare movieclip (in the shape of a 'c' for code) and place it off the top left of the stage. in there i can place things that need to control the movie as whole, and need to do work on every frame UNTESTED onClipEvent(load) { var oldVar:Number = _root.jSVar; }...

you can move the registration point with the free transform tool (press Q), or go into the movie clip, and just shift everything over slightly.

i was completely wrong. authoring multilingual/multilanguage text with the strings panel is what i was after. it makw the correct language text load from xml files when a movie is forst run. unfortunatly, i can find any way of getting an indication of how loaded this text is. at the moment all...

i now think that the solution has something to do with XUpdateResolver - but i can't find an exmaple of it being used this way (i may, in actual fact, be completely wrong)

i heard there was a was to make flash automaticly detect a clients localazation, and perhaps even use this to automatically load country specific xml files. is this true? is even nearly true? where should i be looking to learn more about this? is there an exmaple somewhere? ta

i have a mac might mouse that i'd like to work fully on win xp. if you just plug it in, and use the drivers that come with windows, it can't scroll left to right, and the side buttons do nothing. does anybody have any suggestions as to how i would get full functionality from this mouse? are...

put the two images on different frames in the same movieclip, and make the button code do this: on(press) { if(images_mc._currentframe == 1) { images_mc.gotoAndStop(2); } else { images_mc.gotoAndStop(1); } } if you don't like using frame number, use a boolean to record what picture is showing.

you wouldn't normally use Key.isDown inside onClipEvent(load), that means 'is the key being held down as it loads?'. perhaps you mean onClipEvent(enterFrame).

UNTESTED create a movieclip with all your pages in side by side. make a mask that show on page where you want to see it. to make it work ou will need to move you rpages movieclip left and right appropriately. you can do this by always moving the _x attribute of this clip to a certain point...

you can't read the contents of a folder with actionscript, the swf doesn't run on the server, it runs on the client machine. i suggest you create a web service, or other server app, that returns list of the relevent files. if you create something that returns text that looks like xml (.net web...

load it into a movieclip, like you would a jpeg, then move the movieclip to the correct position. nb - loadMovie, loadMovieNum and layers in general are out-dataed now. they still work, but there are better ways of doing all these things

what's out there for people who wish generator were still suported?

now that generator isn't supported, what else can i use to make a gif dynamicly server side? i heard flash remoting can do it, but i can't find any details on this on the macromedia website.

oh yes, whoops. actually i solved it about 20 minutes ago. i just had to get rid of.. Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache
