I have a XML document that I have to hard-code into AS (Yes, I HAVE to). I am trying to assign this xml to a string but for some reason on the xml doc declaration is assigned?[code]...
When I trace out the xmlDoc string I always only get "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
I have tried putting the whole document in one string surrounded by 's and concatinating the string like above. Why is the string var only getting assigned to the first line?[code]...

I have a bunch of sequential movie clips (mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, etc...).
I use the following code to set them to buttons.[code]...
What I want to do, is get the NUMBER that is clicked from the mc name (eg. mc5 returns 5, mc3 returns 3, mc908 would return 908, you get the point...)

I'm working on a textField overflow system for a project at the moment.I cant find a way to return a textField's htmlText complete with the original html tags.The system is used for splitting up a textField above a particular height into two textFields so the side of each other. The system works perfectly with unformatted text, but I cant seem to extract the formatting tags out of the left textField and apply them to the right - all I can get is plain text. (The system uses a StyleSheet by the way - so it is applied to both textFields).I 've tried:
Code:
if (leftField.textHeight > contentHeight) {
//var rightString:String = new String;
var lastLineIndex:int = leftField.getLineIndexAtPoint(10, contentHeight - 5);[code]...........
The commented out code represents the alternative method I've tried (still fails).

The difficulty is that when this._name is passed through the function, the movie clips have numbers assigned/attached to them. Here is the basic code that is found inside a class (foe.as)[code]...

I am using AS2 and I am trying to make a simple 'game' for an assignment for school.I am first trying to make a simplified version of the game, to get some experience before I make the final version.
I will try to explain this simplified version:
The player has to drag an object in a big square and then release it. The object resamples 20 liter water. In total the player has to drag 100 liter water to the square, so it has to drag and drop the 'water' object 5 times.
I want some text in screen that says: You still need .

Im attempting to make a create your own art work style piece in flash. Ive designed it out so that you first select one of 3 buttons to select which vase you wish to use as a base. However the next set of buttons relate to the colour of that object, so there are 4 options (blue, red, pink and brown) and the user selects one from clicking the appropriate button.
However im strugling to figure out how i would know which of the first options (which vase) the user has selected in the first place. Is there some kind of time line trick or script that i could use to sort this out???

I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?

I have a jigsaw puzzle that I want to add the ability to have each peice rotate. This code is based off some code I purchased. I cannot reach the company other than some generic instructions to add an event. The instruction I was given was:
public function rotateActivePiece(dir:int=1):void
Rotates the active puzzle piece (last clicked),
90 degrees, clockwise if dir>0, and counterclockwise if dir<=0.
Parametersdir:int (default = 1) - Parameter defining the direction of the rotation.
CW if pozitive, CCW if zero or negative.
I dont know what to do with this or where to add.
