Simple question: I have numerous transitional xhtml pages marked up and ready to go. The code is basic but uses a few tags that are not recognized in Flash via HTML import- <h1>,<div> etc. Is there a best practice method for using this code without having to "dummy" down the code for use in Flash? Is there any advantage to importing the xhtml pages as XML and going that route or will I have the same problem?

Did i do something wrong?PS: I don't know if i post this in the correct section but since it's related to AS3, thats why i post it here. sorry if i made a mistake.
What options exist for rendering markup in Actionscript? I am looking for something I can use to write templates for menus, tooltips, and other display/frontend stuff in a Flash application. I want to be able to load a template from a string, and then render it as a display object. The kinds of things that would go inside would include text, with possible font styles, text positioning, and images.

View 1 RepliesCan someone tell me the simplest way to add a rollover sound to a standard button in flash ? I was trying to get a small chirp sound to play on rollover of a button. Im using the standard flash button creation hierarchy. Once the fourstages of the button are set. I created a layer above it called sounds then added a blankkeyframe to the over position and dragged the chirp mp3 file onto the stage over the button. Then when i run the webpage the sound effect doesnt play a expected. I tried playing with the dropdownlist of property settings too such as Sound : and theres a dropdown list. I chose chirp.mp3 there but still no luck. Tried some other sync settings too but not able to make this work.
View 1 RepliesI was following this tutorial. He uses the following line for Tweening:
Tweener.addTween(currentContainer, {alpha:1, time:FADE_TIME,
onComplete:function() { slideTimer.start(); }});
Instead of using this special designed class for Tweening, how do I use the standard/regular Tweening within Flash so I don't have to always include the .as file with my project? One other thing is, he uses something like this: intSlideCount = xmlSlideshow..image.length();
What are the two dots between the xmlSlideShow and image.length(); means?

View 1 RepliesFlash has a scrollbar class, documented here: http:[url].......However, besides listing functions and variables, there's no real explanation of how to hook an instance of this class to a textfield.Everything I've tried either ends up in errors or the scrollbar not showing. The documentation lacks a clear way of how you should bind the textfield and the scrollbar toghether, and CS4 isn't providing any help either.how scrollbars work with textfield?

View 2 RepliesI know very little about Flash so I apologize in advance for asking what is possibly a dumb question, although I did a fair bit of research before posting. Our current Flash app, written in AS3.0, is able to display a standard OS browse dialog for the purpose of allowing a user to select files. We are using [URL] to display this dialog.
The documentation for FileReferenceList states that only files could be selected. The new requirement is to allow the user to select directories as well as files. Afterward it would be very nice, but not required, to be able to get a recursive list of all the files in the selected directory. Is it possible to implement this in Flash running inside a browser? The closest I've seen so far is [URL] which does what I want but it only seems to work inside Adobe AIR and is not exposed to the browser.

When I do that, I receive the following runtime error on the XML constructor when I run in Flash Player 9: TypeError: Error #1088: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
