They thought of everything… your probably like, “Duh, Jesse…”. Hey man, that’s neat. Your so smart. d00d, it’s late, and these things are fascinating this time of the night.
If you have your AS2 classes export in frame 2, but have a 1 frame only movie, you get this error:
“WARNING: The Export Frame for Classes specified in the Publish or Export settings, frame 2, does not exist. No bytecode for ActionScript 2.0 classes or interfaces was exported.”
Thank you Flash!
If you have a Flash MX 2004 file your saving as MX, and it detects your using AS2 in the FLA, it’ll comment out the ActionScript, even if some of it is valid. Just something to watch out for. Just so we’re clear, I would have assumed it would of either removed the offending code, refused to compile like MX did for Flash 5 stuff, or brought you to the offending area to manually fix before compiling.
My birthday presents consisted of a new desk and a mini-fridge for my office at home. I relate it to that MTV show “Pimp My Ride”, where supposed less-fortunates have MTV sponsors take their piece of junk car (at least they have a frikin’ car…) and trick and pimp it out. To me, her majesty did a major difference to my office, so I consider it pretty pimp to where it was. Thanks!
BTW, thanks for all da happy b-day, gals n guys.
I knew I needed a bigger whiteboard… I need to learn to say ‘no’

Sharon Selden from Macromedia was responding to our increased interest in using XUL, an XML language used to create forms. There are some tag definitions on the net, but it was nice to get documentation and examples from the source. Additionally, she posted some XUL to UI examples, but the list didn’t allow attachments, so I’m hosting them for da group.
…however, there were a few of us that had tried to use JSAPI with them, and met with little success in actually having JavaScript ‘esque control like you do in HTML pages. I had managed to populate some controls, but the jsfl runs in a scope that is different from your document, so there’s really no way to get data back from the XUL form… at least that I found. Muzak posted this link, but I haven’t had time to read the whole thing to see if it solves the whole thing. Hopefully I can find my answers in da zip I just uploaded. Regardless, XUL is sooo much frikin’ easier than a Flash panel… until you want to populate controls. We’ll see.
