Put your library item in a folder 2. Use the trick you described above of adding the item to the stage. The item will be added to the library at the top level, so it will not conflict with the one in the folder. 3. Use library.moveToFolder(folderPath [, itemToMove [, bReplace]]); Setting the bReplace flag to true will replace update the item without a confirmation dialog! 4. Delete the item from the stage Maybe I'm too late to save you, but someone else may benefit. Cheers!]]> Regarding “COPY AN ITEM FROM ONE FLA’S LIBRARY INTO ANOTHER FLA REQUIRES CONFIRMATION”, I’ve struggled with this issue for a while now and have finally found a workaround IF you are ok with your library items being in a folder.

1. Put your library item in a folder
2. Use the trick you described above of adding the item to the stage. The item will be added to the library at the top level, so it will not conflict with the one in the folder.
3. Use library.moveToFolder(folderPath [, itemToMove [, bReplace]]); Setting the bReplace flag to true will replace update the item without a confirmation dialog!
4. Delete the item from the stage

Maybe I’m too late to save you, but someone else may benefit.

Cheers!

Even more brutal is that I find this page telling me that this still hasn’t been fixed in CS3. Booo… Adobe has many talented people, I’m sure that there are good things to come.

I love the yahoo as3 api’s and components! (In fact, I grew up on yahoo, and later migrated to google, but since I love all things as3 I find myself coming home..:) ) Anyway, I want to suggest that there is a real need for a well developed set of e-learning components for as3, complete with good documentation and an easy interface to the SCORM api. It appears that adobe didn’t update their as2 elearning tools in flash for as3.

And that seems bizarre because there seems to be great potential for elearning development with flex. Maybe there are some resources I’m not aware of, but I want to suggest that the yahoo flash team could have an enormously positive impact here. Just imagine the possibilities for integrating elearning components with the yahoo web services and scorm assessment!

Thanks,
Jason Aubrey

I’d like an event to know when the library has been opened, when new docs are opened, when a new clip is added to the library, when the tab for the FLA is changed etc.

I love to see it classes based and a consistent language across all Adobes products.
