I am trying to load random external SWF's using XML. I'm not having any problems loading JPG files, but the SWF's just won't load. Is there a difference between JPG's and SWF's when loading using loadMovie? Pointers to tutorials or pages in the manual would be great.
Here's a snippet of the code:
[AS]
function firstImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p=random(total);

View 3 RepliesEach line in the dynamic textbox has 15 characters, and yet you can notice the difference in the length(between each line).
I want to make the length of each line look same if they have same number of charaters.
Suppose I'm building a game where your ship moves with left/right keys.I assign a speed variable which is the number of pixels the ship will move when you press one of the said keys.Currently (on the tutorial I'm following) I have:
Quote:
static const speed:Number = 150.0
Can't I just replace it:
Quote: var speed:int = 150
Also, what's the difference between var a:Number and var a:int? And is there any important reason to add the .0 in 150.0?
I was just wondering what the difference between these two is.

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?

How do i get the difference in minutes between 18:30 and 19:15?
View 1 RepliesI have two similar Objects. I want to compare them to determine if they are different data-wise (see below), and if so, display what the difference is. To complicate things, let's say the Objects are totally anonymous - I have no knowledge of their structure, contents, cannot attach listeners, etc.Comparision turned out to be easy: I'm using the classic "Serialization" approach, which comes from Java:
ActionScript Code:
public function compareObject(obj1:Object,obj2:Object):Boolean {
// serialize the objects
var buffer1:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
[code]...
If the data in the objects is in any way different, the routine returns false... classic Byte-compare. Easy, fast, very efficient.Now here's my question: is there an easy way to determine WHAT the difference is? I'm thinking along the lines of some kind of change object or XML structure that says "This field changed value, that array got this item added, this property was removed, etc".I started playing with complex looping structure and iterators until someone pointed that some object fields/properties cannot be found via iteration.

View 2 RepliesWhen I am testing these movies in flash (command return), and the files are on a local drive everything works fine. when I upload them to the server and test them in the browser they don't function. Not the same anyhow.
for example one will work fine, the next time i choose one I only see the loader bar progress, and if i try one that has already been tried nothing seems to happen, Is there something obviously wrong???
