I have an array of objects that when another object hits one of them, the object will be removed. I have removed it from the stage using removeChild() and removed from the array using splice(), but somehow the object is still calling some of its functions which is causing errors. How do I completely get rid of an object? There are no eve...
I have a Flex application, which loads a SWF from CS3. The loaded SWF contains a text input called "myText". I can see this in the SWFLoader.content with no problems, but I don't know what type I should be treating it as in my Flex App. I thought the flex docs covered this but I can only find how to interact with another Flex SWF. The F...
I have a generated HTML page with flash content in it. I am trying to reposition the flash content and make it "absolute". I have tried to wrap the object tags with a div tag, but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Removing the generated positioning attributes does not work. See relevant code below (it is not very neat, bu...
What are the main reasons for having ridiculously long export times for a simple flash movie to swf? I have no unnecessary images or symbols, everything possible is set to lower than low and it still takes 10 minutes and upwards to export a 30 second animation at 24 fps. I have even created a new fla and pasted everything in there, to fi...

In our project we have a large number (hundreds) of FLA files created by the artists in CS3, from which we compile SWFs to use in our Flex/AS3 application. As part of a streamlined build/deploy system, it would be really handy to be able to automate publishing all these FLAs, and ideally deploying the SWFs too. I found some ways to do t...
I'm trying to control the main timeline of my flash application from a MovieClip that is a child of the main stage. Apparently, in ActionScript 2, you could do that using _root, but using root (since _root no longer exists) now gives an error: root.play(); "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static...

I have a dynamic text field inside a MovieClip symbol. Whenever the mouse pointer is hovered over the symbol, the cursor changes to the I-shaped text editing cursor. This may be a very stupid question, but is there any way to avoid this? Not even using mouse.hide() keeps the "I" cursor from appearing. ...
Is there any way to resize an entire Flash project using Actionscript or some other method? I have created a 1024x768 Flash CS3 application, but upon closer inspection of the specifications, I now realise it has to be 800x600. Instead of manually making everything smaller, I'd like to resize the window as if someone were dragging the o...
I have a small task in Flash, that I'm having a little trouble with. First of all, I have 2 layers. The first is a gradient with various colors, on top of that is the second layer, which is a shape tween(movie clip). For those of you using CS4, a classic tween. I'm using CS3 and Actionscript 2 I've allready done the shape tween, it's v...
I have a program consisting of multiple SWF's. An AS2-SWF loads a bunch of AS1-SWFs. It's a crappy program. I'd like to specify the GUI in MXML and perhaps refactor some code to AS3. However, converting all of the 300+ symbols to AS3 or whatever is undoable. What are my options in converting to AS3/Flex/MXML? The app is very simple, o...

Hi, I am a newbie in Flash CS3. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time an...
