You need to listen to the CLOSE event. I think.. Code: myScoket = new XMLSocket(); mySocket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, disconnect); function disconnect(event:Event):void { //diconnect it.. } [Edit] there is Event.CLOSING, to detect whether a window is about to close and is fired before CLOSE event. But its AIR only.

You're welcome

Thanks glosrfc!

I'm not sure on maximum size of display object, 4080 would be the bitmapdata maximum size in FP10 though. I presume you need this for a computer with 2 monitors where each one of them is 30", right? As it is of today, the highest resolution in the industry is 3280x2048 (WQSXGA). But it is hard to imagine those will need Flash Player as their primary use is in science field. Anyways, why don't you just split it in two, if...

Perhaps you accidentally scaled it, where the scale value would be around 1.5. Or perhaps there are children you don't know about. Try seeing what numChildren returns. Otherwise, it could be pretty much anything. Could you upload the FLA?

I'd do this with a SharedObject , indeed a Flash cookie. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...redObject.html

Quote: What would prevent someone from just creating a container SWF that loads your SWF in, then just asks the embedded asset about itself? well, the thing is that embedded assets don't show up at all in a decompiler. The hacker would need to know that the asset exists, and there is no way to know that from a decompile. (or any other means really..) The actual [Emebed...] line only exists at compile time, once compiled all that is left...

Is a layer style something thats available in Flash CS3? All my google searches for layer styles point to photoshop tutorials. Is it something I have to do in photoshop and then import into flash? Or can I do it directlyin Flash? (Preferably programatically) EDIT: OOH wait a minute, I can apply filters directly to a TextField. That should do it I think. I think my autocomplete is screwy because it was telling me I couldnt set filters on a...

I got a 8x8 grid, filled with random movie clips from 7 frames (they got no. 1 to 7). What am I trying to do (from last 3 days) ? When clicked on any movie clip get their neighbor movie clip type and if they are same disappear. This is taken from the first row. 3 2 1 7 2 6 6 6 here If i click the third clip which is 1, check both side compare it with current one and if it is not same do nothing else disappear. Here is the code i have done so...

Alas, this would be so much easier if Flash had some proper way to make non-affine transformations. There's a very basic way to apply an uneven scaling in the authoring environment where only the top part of an object becomes wider, but it only works on shapes and not symbols. Frame by frame could work in that case. Here's a sorry example of what that could look like, but it might give you the idea (took way too long to make and it...
