That's why I am suggesting to create classes Cat/Dog extend MyClip (or Animal) extends MovieClip, so that you cannot do "new Dog().meow()". The differences are portability, maintainability, editability, extensibility, modularity... ... View more

MovieClip does not take any arguments but your class MyClip can: package {     import flash.display.MovieClip;         public class MyClip extends MovieClip {         public function MyClip(type:String):void {             switch(type){                 case "cat":                     trace("meow");                     break;                                 case "dog":                     trace("woof");                     break;             }         }     } } ...

> I am not trying to instantiate a movieclip in the library of the loaded swf. I am merely assigning the loaded swf to a variable, and then adding it to a movie clip on the screen.

Ah, I finally noticed you are setting the negative value - I thought it was your typo If you have a lot of TextFields with this same characteristics, the best way is to create your own Class that extends TextField and implements the characteristics. This way, all text fields made form the Class will inherit the same characteristics. And if you change something in the Class it will be applied to all instances instantly - no more "clicking through all of those fields in my larger document" ... View more

I cannot replicate the problem you're experiencing, but in any case you can set the first line indentation with script easily: import flash.text.TextFormat; var tfmt:TextFormat = bigBox.defaultTextFormat; tfmt.indent = 27; bigBox.defaultTextFormat = tfmt; bigBox.text = "This is an example of dynamic text with a hanging indent.  The first line has a value set to -27 with a corresponding margin of 27."; ...

If I understood you correctly, you want to instantiate a MovieClip in the Library, which is in the SWF loaded from outside. If so, first you have to wait for the SWF to load fully, then:         private function swfLoadComplete(e:Event):void {             var MovieClipInTheLoadedLibraryClass:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("MovieClipInTheLibrary") as Class;             addChild(new MovieClipInTheLoadedLibraryClass() as MovieClip);         } ...

Just type in, say "no", and then cmd + space (which is on Mac; use whatever the equivalent on PC - ctrl + space?). You should get a list of classes/functions/variables begin with "no". "None" will be one of them. Select it and return. This is the behaviour Flash IDE copied from Eclipse (Flex/Flash Builder). ... View more

I am not sure if I follow you fully, but I can certainly create and run a class called "World". In fact I can even create and run a class "Sprite", which is nothing to do with the Flash built-in class "Sprite" and not even a DisplayObject. ... View more

Have you imported FileReference class? Also your code is missing the parentheses.

Here's an again super rudimental example - click on the stage will invoke the "save file as..." dialogue. package {     import flash.display.Sprite;     import flash.events.MouseEvent;     import flash.net.FileReference;     import flash.utils.ByteArray;         import org.alivepdf.fonts.CoreFont;     import org.alivepdf.fonts.FontFamily;     import org.alivepdf.fonts.IFont;     import org.alivepdf.layout.Orientation;     import org.alivepdf.layout.Size;     import org.alivepdf.layout.Unit;     import org.alivepdf.pdf.PDF;     import org.alivepdf.saving.Download;     import org.alivepdf.saving.Method;     public class PDFDemo extends Sprite {         private var _pdfByteArray:ByteArray;                 public function PDFDemo():void {             var pdf:PDF = new PDF(Orientation.PORTRAIT, Unit.MM, Size.A4);             var helvetica:IFont = new CoreFont(FontFamily.HELVETICA);             pdf.addPage();             pdf.setFont(helvetica, 24);             pdf.writeText(24, "Hello World!");             _pdfByteArray = pdf.save(Method.LOCAL, null, Download.ATTACHMENT);                         stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);         }                 private function click(e:MouseEvent):void {             new FileReference().save(_pdfByteArray, "hello-world!.pdf");         }     }    } ...
