Hi, as I learned the hard way, Flash streams your .swf, that is, it can start playing back the file even if only the first couple of frames are loaded. Normally, when loading an external .swf you would just register a handler to the COMPLETE event of the Loader or URLLoader class and that would be it. Example (exception handling, etc....

So, in short, my problem is this. I am using a variable which is a movieclip loaded from an external swf. I want to "spawn" multiple instances of the movieclip that all react to the same code, so for example if I say var1.x = 100, they all are at 100x. But my problem is when I run addChild(var1) multiple times(I'm not actually typing in ...

I am trying to share data between an as3 swf and a as2 swf that it loaded. The problem is, I can't seem to get my as2 swf to read the localshared object written by the as3 swf.

Basically i'm just trying to create a high-performance AnimatedBitmap Class. I have investigated some Sprite-based AnimatedBitmap classes out there that use timers and some variation of BitmapData.copyPixels() or BitmapData.draw(), but these don't seem to be as fast as simply staggering the assets on a MovieClip timeline and letting the ...
Event.MOUSE_LEAVE is great in Actionscript 3, but it doesn't seem to fire if the user is holding their left (or right for that matter) mouse button down. Is there a way to detect if the mouse leaves the Flash movie while the mouse is held down? Or if it is released outside the flash movie? ...

The rowCount property set in the property inspector works just fine; the dataProvider property populates the box just fine; everything works fine. HOWEVER, when I load that SWF into a parent SWF with the Loader class, everything goes to hell. The ComboBox shows up empty. All the ...

Hi there, This problem is probably very simple to solve but it is not clear to me. It may simply be that I am doing something incorrectly.

The goal ...
My Flash movie would like communicate with MySQL server to fetch and save data between MySQL and SWF. I know AMFPHP can help with the communication, but is there a secure way to encrypt the texts sending between 2 sides (other than hashing password in MD5)? As far as I know, by default, AMFPHP sends out data in plain text. Also, I heard...
