Is it possible for an SWF to detect the name of the folder that it resides in at runtime? And then pass that folder name as a variable to a function? If this is possible, would someone point me in the right direction as to how to do it?

I have 2 swfs. Swf #1 loads swf #2. Swf #2 has actionscript code that always makes that swf centered no matter how large screen you are viewing the swf in. When I call swf #2 into swf #1, swf #2 takes up the entire window of swf #1 when I only want it to take up a certain size.

This is a simple page I am trying to add a .swf to, with a small custom made js function I slapped up. With chrome the swf is pushed up and out of the navigator window and is missing the top half.
I have tried this quick and dirty approach to detect browser and set the proper background values for each browser:
var browser = BrowserDetect.browser;
var height = '';
var width = '';
switch (browser){
[Code].....
For the movie size in the embed tag: I have tried percents, I have tried pixels, quite a few different combinations. There is always at least one browser that chokes no matter how I set it. Right now it is chrome that chokes. Does anyone knowing the trick to these parameters mind clueing me in on a proper efficient method to integrate a .swf?
Maybe the outer html code is not properly structured and causes this? I am not specialised integration, I am mostly a back-ender, tried a few solutions online but this custom .js that sets values for <nosript> is the only way I managed to get this close to working crossbrowser.
My question basically, what are the clean efficient ways used by integrators to integrate swf cross browser, and is my approach workable if I set proper values?

View 1 RepliesMy thumbnail buttons (in Lee's scrollpane example), when pressed, are showing the larger picture trapped within the mask of the scrollpane and not outside it. Button Code below:
[Code]...
So, I have the following layering situation
Stage
--moveclip1
--movieclip2
----movieclip3
------movieclip4
I was wondering if it was possible for movieclip4 to be on top of movieclip1, even though movieclip1 is (and must remain) in a layer on top of movieclip2. This should happen when movieclip3 is being clicked (and movieclip4 shows up).
I tried adding this to the mouseclick event of movieclip4:
Code:
this.parent.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
(I tried with and without "parent", and with different numbers of "parents"... cause I kind of lose counts of the parents there).
but... it doesn't work.

The navhelp_btn is located on the main stage and the navhelp movie is in the library and gets loaded to an emty mc on the main stage holder_mc. I want to close the navhelp movie using a close button that I created and is housed in the navhelp movie.
I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
hard coded in the as file
wordList = ("Paper,Plastic,Reduce,Retrieve,Litter,Trash,Glass,Recycle").split(",");
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.
Is there a way to hide various classes from appearing in code hints while using a compiled SWC?We are trying to create a SWC that can hide classes unnecessary/hidden to third party developers. There is only one class they need to reach, however that class reaches out to so many others. We tried namespaces on our classes but that doesnt work. It only works on methods, variables and properties.Not sure if there is some metadata available to hide those classes from auto complete. That would be sweet.

I have a large flash project and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle it. I want to load in an XML file of groups and their members, and a bunch of attributes related to each group and its respective members - but these groups and members are only displayed on screen after a user clicks on their parent groups. My first thought was to just pull in the XML for the whole tree of groups and users, then assign movie clips for the groups, and attach properties related to their display and how the user will interact with them - but if they may never appear on screen, is it pointless to do this? How do I best structure this project? Build an object and attach properties only to the object, then add display data only on click?
