I've a dynamic text field, populated from an external file,
and with a scrollbar. I'd also like it to respond to mousewheel or
trackpad scrolling. I have tried setting mouseWheelEnabled to true,
but that doesn't seem to do the job (and seems to require clicking
the field anyway). What else should I be looking at? Would I also
need so listen for the mousewheel or scrolling event?

Any. Mostly online, but conceivably on optical disc.
Basically I can't depend on server side processing.

I'm building a picture gallery which allows the visitor to
select items and email the site owner with a list. While the movie
can send the list to the email's body, that's not ideal given the
range of email clients, and it would be much better to generate a
file attachment which could then be used in other order processing
routines.
AFAICS Flash won't let me automatically generate and attach
the text file - is that right? So I've got to look for other
options. As the movie may run in static hosting environments, I
can't depend on PHP. What other approaches should I consider?

I see a version in the plug-in manager dialog, but I don't see any code in my other lua files which makes it do so.
As for automatic updates, I know that updating a version of a custom field triggers an update, so I'm going to guess it works the same way here too.

In Info.lua:
VERSION = { major=3, minor=0, revision=7, build=1, },

OK, I see what you're saying - I forgot to paste the
sspColourBG line into my function which should have been like this:
var sspColourBG;
function urlLoader_complete(evt:Event) {
sspColourBG="0x"+urlLoader.data.extColourBG;
trace("During: " + sspColourBG); //returned correct value
}
trace("After: " + sspColourBG ); //returns undefined
It still gives me the same problem - that I read the loadvars
within the function, but they're not available outside.

Yes, I suspect you're right. I'm still in the stage of
loathing AS3 and wondering why I ever decided to bother!

Thanks, but trace("after " + urlLoader.data.extColourBG);
gives me Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
That must be because it's picking up the line var
sspColourBG; which doesn't assign a value to the variable.
Besser als(?) mein Deutsch.

I am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them
available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak.
While I can read the variable values in a loader function
which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be
able to keep those variables available afterwards.
How do I that? Isn't AS3 wonderful? :(

I think you have a good point in there, Blane. It's no good Adobe letting us add custom fields if we can't do much with them, whether it's displaying them in Web, Print, or saving the information to the image sidecar or embedded metadata.

You've got a printer, haven't you? ;)
But seriously, it would be great if one could print one via Lulu etc. Are there any restrictions on people getting copies (not for resale). Maybe Adobe should upload it to a self publisher and make it available?

I thought the embedded browser was IE on PC and Safari on Mac. Maybe you're thinking of Bridge which had an OEM Opera component?

Does AS2 have any function or variable which detects the time
the Flash movie was compiled, or capture some other information
such as the compilation iteration.
I'd like to add to my movie a small text box which displays
the movie's version information (not the player) rather like how a
program's About menu command usually displays its version number.
Is this possible? I don't see any functions which seem to capture
this information.

"Without reading painfully through every single post again, am I right in thinking that mention has been made that this problem is only applicable to Macs?"
No, and it's very important to understand that it's not a universal problem on either platform - far from it.
I did have the problem on my XPPro SP2 machine, never on my Mac, and finally solved it by trying Betty Reed's idea of temporarily switching the preference to 8 bit.

"Has anyone else tried Betty Reed's trick of changing the bit depth in the preferences? I don't know why that would be a factor, but I'm intrigued by her success. "
Julie, it worked for me. After temporarily switching to 8 bit, I could then open as 16 bit or as a smart object. Well done Betty!

I have a JSX script that adds to Bridge CS3 a new menu element. It places it "after Tools" - ie it's a top level menu. The item appears correctly and is enabled when I open Bridge CS3. But it greys out after I go into File Info. This doesn't happen at all if I move the element to "at the end of Tools". Has anyone else seen this issue?

I suggest you put in a feature request. Bridge should be scriptable in the same way as Photoshop, with cross platform JavaScript and with Apple script and Visual Basic.
Look at ImageIngester from http://www.basepath.com/ImageIngester/ and the Import From Camera script.

Generate a flash gallery and examine the output - you'll see a couple of XML files including much of the info you mention.

It may not be a scripting question. In the case of 3, have you not looked at the Flash galleries that come with Bridge? These are powered by XML data and I'd look at the templates and how they generate the XML.

It works very well but the thought came after the "if you have no crop already selected" and I was angling my head and was still wondering if it was spot on. A simple grid overlay would be a fine enhancement.

Echoing an earlier posting, I'd like to suggest a tool to assist straightening operations, either a grid or a drag-out ruler which would align to the crop window (not the overall image window).

I've put in a feature request for Bridge to have a VB engine - add your voices. Users don't just need to integrate with Adobe's CS products - on the contrary, that's exactly what is needed.
