View 2 RepliesMy trouble is that my project is taking more and more time to be compiled.My preocupation is how to speed up this compilation ?I used now a SSD hard disk and a quad core CPU.Do you think that purchasing an I7 core will speed up the compilation ?

View 5 RepliesI've built controllers for the application which are defined in the Document class while the get & set methods are in the appropriate class. I find they become very screen real-estate intensive once you have more than 10 methods so i was wondering if anyone could let me know a way for writing them which has one function and sets and gets all the properties. heres some of them which define all the height,width, color,stroke,fill,tint of a drawn rectangle.

//theoretical reverse method
if(!mc.visible) reverse;

View 2 RepliesI have a site that plays either .mp3 or .flv files depending on what is selected from the menu. Menu loads in from xml. I get "unable to make connection with server or unable to find flv on server" when I try to play the video. But the video and audio files are all in the same directory and the mp3 files play fine. I think I'm having a problem with the setMedia command. Here's the code that loads the video and audio files.

View 3 RepliesI have a panel movie clip that contains six buttons, this panel movieclip also contains a tool tip movie clip for each button, the tool tips just reside inside the panel movie clip not inside the buttons. When the buttons are rolled over I want the tool tips to appear, alpha from 0 to 1 using Tweenlite. Rather than repeating the event handler code I have used two arrays, one for the buttons and one for the tooltips.
So I need to tell flash that when button 2 for example is rolled over, make tool tip 2 appear. The code I have is below, I think I'm nearly there but this errors. Am I right to use switch?
