  netDone

  Posted: February 16th, 2006, 1:12pm CST by Director Online

  Whie preloadNetThing, it seems netDone returns 1 as soon as the download process begins. Use getStreamStatus.state to check was it completed !

  EvalScript

  Posted: January 31st, 2006, 11:02am CST by Director Online

  doesn't work with firefox, IE mac, and versions of netscape without LiveConnect. you must name the .dcr in both the embed and object tags. liveconnect=true must be on if you're targeting netscape that supports it. alternatives? possibly gotonetpage/geturl

  showLocals

  Posted: January 27th, 2006, 1:41pm CST by Director Online

  isn't there a way to put the local variables in a string instead

  ref

  Posted: January 4th, 2006, 3:48pm CST by Director Online

  Obtaining a reference to text only works on #text members. It fails on fields with Object Expected.

  keyCode

  Posted: December 16th, 2005, 2:22am CST by Director Online

  using "the key" can determine the key related to a keycode only when the key has just been pressed. How do i pick an arbitrary number and determine the key to which it corresponds?

  scriptInstanceList

  Posted: January 21st, 2005, 6:20am CST by Director Online

  You can affect this property as though it were a linear list. So: sprite(7).scriptInstanceList = [] clears all behaviors attached to a given sprite. Also: for those using javascript, this syntax works: sprite(7).scriptInstanceList.add(script("myBehavior")); It seems to hang if you use the above code to initialize the list, but this worked for me: sprite(7).scriptInstanceList.deleteOne(script("myBehavior"));

  modal

  Posted: October 30th, 2004, 3:47am CDT by Director Online

  windowRef.modal is obsolete and not supported in MX 2004 as mentioned. Use windowRef.type=#dialog instead
• 

  textureMember

  Posted: October 21st, 2004, 8:34am CDT by Director Online

  I couldn't get this to work with the sytax sample style listed here. I had to use a simple string which was the name of the bitmap member. Example: sprite(1).member.textureMember = "mybitmap"

  importFileInto

  Posted: October 2nd, 2004, 3:58pm CDT by Director Online

  The return value of importFileInto is a boolean that shows whether the command did work or not.

  locVToLinePos

  Posted: September 29th, 2004, 8:56am CDT by Director Online

  You can get the total number of visual lines in a text member (lines created by word wrap and carriage returns) rather than the lines calculated by carriage returns when you use member().line.count. Anyways, to calculate the visual lines you can do this: vLineCount = member("myText").locVToLinePos(member("myText").height)
