symbols clash
Posted by Parag Shah at 7/1/2004 11:39:02 PM
Hi All, When I try to import a flash file into another, there is a symbol clash as the symbol names in both the movies are the same. Isn't there any other way, rather then renaming each symbol in either file, to avoid this? Regards, Parag ...more >>

Formatting DataGrid
Posted by mrhaze at 7/1/2004 9:16:53 PM
I've managed to format my DataGrid somewhat. However, it's when I want to format the headers like Macromedia Exchange site has their headers I run into trouble. Can you specify padding, border colors etc etc for the header? The only thing I've found that even comes close to this is hGridLines(...more >>

MovieClip or button inside MC doesn't work (but works in a different root movie?)
Posted by Carl Fink at 7/1/2004 7:37:54 PM
This is weird. In a movie I'm writing, a MovieClip or button that is placed inside a MC never triggers -- that is, it never receives a Release or Press event. If I take the container MC (that contains a button or MC) and copy and paste it into a blank new movie, then the MC-within-an-MC work...more >>

Problems with ALT-Number combinations in Flash versions
Posted by Andrew Larson at 7/1/2004 6:10:56 PM
Hi, I'm experiensing problems with Alt-Numbers in Flash when they are read into textfields dynamically. For example, I can have a large bullet in my database (ALT-0149). It displays when published in Flash 5, ignored (not displayed) when published via MX or MX2004. Similarly, ALT-250 (...more >>

Multiple instances
Posted by Kristen at 7/1/2004 2:13:48 PM
I've got this code that enlarges a circle while your mouse is over it, then it shrinks it when you roll out. How do I make it so it will work on all the instances of the symbol instead of having to hard code the instance name? I have 16 circles that do the exact same thing. I've pasted the cod...more >>

I've seen a small active "croosshair" type image on web pages . . .
Posted by Claude at 7/1/2004 10:43:29 AM
Or one that looks similar . . . I say active because a few I've seen actually seem to "pulse". This crosshair-object stays in view - it remains at the same place on the screen - usually on the right side bottom - and does not scroll with the page contents. On mouseover, the image changes and so...more >>
