The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Converting a Bitmap loader to a Movieclip loader - (Flash/AS3)

Asked by furio13 in ActionScript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex

Tags: Actionscript 3.0, Flash CS3, movieclip, bitmap, loader

Hi!

I received some help from blue-genie on creating an image gallery that loads external bitmap images with a nice fade in/fade out effect.

I was just wondering, based on how my code is setup, what would I need to change so that instead of loading external Bitmaps, it will load MovieClips from the library?

You can find my Bitmap loader code below. Any help would be great. Thanks!
