near the top of the code i see things like, btn_dropdown._visible = false; mcMenuBkg._visible = false; but I can't find these assets anywhere in the library or in any code, how does this make any sense? The movie clips in the library that look the same have different names and I can delete them entirely and they still show up when I ...
I have a menu control (as2), that is completely self-contained and doesn't rely on any interaction with the parent (as3). The menu control does load an external xml file that is in the same directory as the swf. The menu control works fine when I run it on its own. But when I import it into the Library of my as3 fla, add it the stage a...
Is there an unofficial spec anywhere that explains how to reverse engineer a Flash .FLA file? I'm specifically interested in creating an application that can "auto-scene plan" a Flash document programmatically, pulling in content from other files, arranging that content into layers, without needing the Flash IDE open.

I have assets in external swfs which I load. I would like to know the exact size of the stage and the position of the asset in the fla that created it. If I try to ask the resulting MovieClip for it's size, it turns out it gives me the size when it is trimmed down to the tightest box around the non-transparent pixels. Looking at the c...
Hi, I have saved my Flash fla files with Eclipse CVS and some where on the way, I set their ASCII\BINARY value to ASCII and now my files are totally corrupted. Does anyone know of a way to fix fla files or any files that are binary but were saved as ASCII in CVS? Thanks for your help. ...
