  I just bought this calendar. It's pretty awesome actually.
  The only problem is that when I try to incorporate it into my flash site the back (the little "X" that takes you back from the event) disappears.
  If anyone could give me some help I would be very grateful.

  I am so sorry for my last comment! Please disregard it.
  It was my lack of knowledge that confused me and not this product. It's very easy to use and very intuitive.
  Thanks for the great work guys and again sorry.

  I‘m also having a problem getting the program to recognize events for 2009. Is this a glitch in the XML, or am I doing something wrong? This calendar is one of the best I‘ve seen, but I hope to get instructions on how to deal with the 2009 issue.

  Thanks!

  It was a small bug, find the line:
  for (i=0;i<my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;i ){
  and replace < with <=

  I purchased this calendar but misunderstood what it meant above when it said that you could edit the startDay. I thought that it meant that I could tell the calendar what month to begin in.

  Is there a way to adjust it so that if I don‘t have any events in a given month, it displays the next month that does have an event in it? Or at least be able to set the starting Month.

  Thanks

  Hi,

  Find the line curentMonth=my_date.getMonth(); and assign the desired value (just a note, January is 0, December is 11)

  Hello Snowcat, I am having the same problem as someone else here..

  I love your calendar, and it looks great, but I noticed that when you click to, say, September, then click BACK to August, all of the numbers vanish, or get thrown to one side. Can you tell what is going on here? This is kind of imperative to be be fixed. Thanks for any help.

  Hi guys,

  Just updated the Calendar, you can re-download the commercial archives, the year 2009 works fine now as you can see in the demos.

  Regards,
  Snowcat

  Thanks for the new version but I still have problems with it.
  The 2009 calendar works fine but with the 2008 events whatever event set in the xml file for 2009.

  Very sorry, I tried to fix it in a rush.
  This time I hope it‘s for good.
  Please re-download again.
  The bug was fixed by replacing firstChild.firstChild with firstChild.childNodes[i] everywhere in the code (about 41 times) – you can try this without re-downloading, to keep your customized variables.

  Regards, Snowcat

  Hi. I purchased the calender last night and I am really trying to figure out how to place the calender EXACTLY where I want it to show up in my movieClip. I‘m using the calender on my website on a page and when I test the movie, it isn‘t centered in my movie clip. I guess what I really want to know is how do I edit the x and y coordinates to align the calender to show up right where I need it. I have looked in the actionscript coding and in the xml file. If you can help me I would really appreciate it.

  Kindly,
  Marv.

  what would be a line of code that I can use to make the event links open up in a blank browser window? I‘d also like to format my event text with HTML, (line breaks, bold/italic)- but it doesn‘t seem to be working when I try- I am primarily a designer, but I know a little :(

  I‘m new to Flash and was trying to find a way to make the calendar transparent. I tried looking in the data.xml. I also tried looking inside the Action Script within Flash, and could not seem to find where to make the calendar transparent. Does anyone know how to accomplish this task?

  Sych: Yes, you can easily change the arrow icons from the Library. To use the pictures background without opacity just set calendarAlfa=100;

  gomarvelous: There are two ways to do it: 1.Find the first two _x and _y properties in the code (one is under with(background) statement and another in with(calendar) statement) and set them as you like. 2.create a new symbol and cut-paste all the code from the first layer on the timeline in the first layer of this newly created symbol. Place that symbol at any (x,y) positon you like on the stage

  loveyourdesigner: The line of code you're looking for is:
  function didyoupressme(n:Number){
  For the other request, I'm afraid I didn't provided support for HTML text formatting

  itoalvarez: There are two ways: 1.Find in the code all the defined alpha variables and change them to your needs, or 2. create a new symbol and cut-paste all the code from the first layer on the timeline in the first layer of this newly created symbol. Place this symbol on the stage and set it's alpha in the Properties panel(Ctrl F3)

  How do I embed a font into the calendar? i'm able to change it in the actionscript but it goes right back to default once I throw it online.

  Also,

  where in the actionscript is the alignment of the month/year — as you can see even in your demos above, the month/year is not centered properly.

  Hi,
  To embed a font you’ll have to do the following:
  Define my_font in the Library, by selecting New Font in the context menu after clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Library. You must select “Export for ActionScript” and “Export in first frame”, and the Identifier would be named let’s say my_font.
  In the AS code set
  calendarTextFont = “my_font”;
  informationTextFont = “my_font”;
  After that you’ll have to search for each occurrence of “createTextField”, and let’s say you have calendar.createTextField(“Antet”,calendar.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,0,0);
  then you’ll have to insert a line after that and set:
  calendar.Antet.embedFonts = true;
  So you’ll have set embedFonts = true for each text field.
  To find the alignment of the month-year search for calendar.Antet._x

  Snowcat

  HI Snowcat,

  
  

  I need to set-up links in the xml file to open a new window. I am using this calendar in an iframe and I want to open a new page, not inside the iframe. What is the custom xml code that I need to use in this application.

  
  

  Thanks

  
  

  Dave

  Hi,

  
  

  To make links open in a new window you’ll have to Find and Replace “a href” (without quotation marks) in the ActionScript code (you’ll find it in two places, modify them both) with:
  a target=’_blank’ href
