actionscript-2

I am having real confusion with some flash banners I'm creating and making the button into a clickable object which opens a web page. I have been using this code for a while below, which works... on(release){ getURL("http://www.the-dude.co.uk", "_blank"); } And I placed this code on actual button within the actions panel However I have been told the code above is very old and that I should use action script like below... buttonInstance.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://www.the-dude.co.uk", "_blank"); } So I've tried to get this method below to work but nothing happens when I click the

I have an .swf that I am embedding into HTML using the jQuery SWF Object plugin ( http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject ). I have a number of functions within the .swf that I need to call from within javascript functions. I've made these actionscript functions accessible to javascript by calling flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback(). Yet nothing happens when I make the call.

Is there such a library that supports creating/parsing password protected zip files? back2dos basically it can be done ... but will be slow ... http://code.google.com/p/hxformat/ actually you would load the string and then it'll be decoded into an Array of bytes (using Bytes.ofString) ... this will take a lot of time ... and you will not be able to do a lot with the results, i guess, since AS2 api is very

In ActionScript, how can you test if an object is defined, that is, not null? Matthew Crumley test if an object is defined This works in AS2 and AS3, and is the most reliable way to test if an object has a value. if (obj != null) { doSomethingWith(obj); } Its also the most reliable way to test an object's property and read it in the same expression: if (arr[0] != null && arr[0]>5) { doSomethingWith(arr[0]); } test if an object is null There's a difference between null and undefined, but if you don't care you can just do a normal comparison between either one because they compare equal: if (obj
