I am using a borrowed script for a xml gallery. I seem to have everything down
but I cannot figure out how to position and size the xml movie clip...I've
tried to specify x and y in the html to no avail. Do I need to do this in the
action script? If so what are the tags?

I have a multi-scene, self-running Flash presentation, with animation and
voice-over narration.  SWF version of file runs fine, but projector file
crashes; sometimes get "generated errors" message; sometimes restarts
presentation; different place each time.  Projector file is ...

Is there a way of displaying a UI textbox from actionscript when the UI textbox is not on stage or frame?

Somewhat new to the Flash game and I have a question.  Basiclaly we want to
create an .swf file and be able to send it out to people that have little to no
flash experience, and possibly very limited computer/e-mail experience.  I need
to be able to attach the file and send it, ...

do flash players version 6 and above stop embedded flash movies from showing in emails?

I know that I am going to get beat up by saying this but I don't care.
I recently made the jump to 2004 pro thinking that I was going to be able to
make good use of some of the new features. I was soon snakebit. I know that
there are some great improvements in MX 2004, but I am ...

rite now. So if you want to see it, leave ur email adress. Otherwise, I'll try
to say what's going on.  I'm making a game, a fairly simple one where you click
things to make stuff happen to get a key. ...

Does anyone know the following two things that I'm trying to do on a flash
movie?
1. I need to set the movie so that when I open it in the Flash player, it will
be seen as "100%", not "show all" in the view setting.

This may seem like a really stupid question to ask, but how do you just have a
simple animation as a preloader (and maybe even a nice pixel preloader...)?
Also, another easy to solve question, how do you get your preloader to
disappear after the swf has loaded?

In order to know when to use a preloader, do you "automatically" create one
when your file gets to a certain size in case your viewer has a slow
connection?  Or do you test the file for slow loading on a slow dial-up
connection and then add a preloader if it loads slowly?

I am wondering I have created flash intros and amwondering whether I could take
those files i have created and put them on tv. to locally advertise my service.
i think the standard for tv is ntsc. I've seen everything for converting video
to flash but not flash to video (for ...

I'm wondering. I know we can save a file as a template, and create custom
categories for said templates which is really handy. But there are numerous
times where I have graphics I'll continually use throughout a project and I'd
like to be able to pull it directly onto my canvas ...

MX 2004  http://banan2.net/error/2.jpg  This is how it looks when I play the
movie, at Quality = High.  What the heck is wrong? Any publish settings I have
to fix? Any way to make the quality better?
