I am new to Flash MX & 2004 and I’ve been having some real problems with some, I imagine, simple questions.
-
Dynamically resizing screen elements to fit dynamic text: I’ve been loading data into Flash via XML files and dynamically populating Movie Clips with the data. How can I make the movie clip expand to match the size of the data loaded? Maybe there’s a different approach to this as well?
-
Stacking Movie Clips: When I load data into movie clip elements, I’d like to be able to stack them, one on top of the other, i.e. creating a table and filling the cells with the data elements. How do you tell Flash to start the next movie based on the lower left corner of the previous clip? How about if they were dynamically sized?
I don’t ask for much do I?
Also, I’m in the Chicago, IL area and I’m looking for a tutor. If there’s anyone here I can talk to please feel free to PM or e-mail me. I would, of course, be willing to pay your training time.
Thank you in advance for your help. I’ll be looking forward to hearing more.
