An easy way to get the row count is to count the number of newline characters (assuming wordwrap is off - ).

Hello, to the last message of Rohan, there can be several ways to accomplish this, ofcourse you can put any number of if and switch statements but I liked the solution author has gave, its neat and clean. Guess what I am accepting 6 variables and that would have get me to put 6 if else statements. Good work fatbrain!

Although your solution is no doubt “cool”, I can’t see your rational at all. You said the original solution is not sufficient but you gave no reason why, and I don’t see any advantage of your proposed solution over it. You basically replaced a simple one line IF statement that is commonly understood practice throughout the industry (aka a common idiom) with a monster. You would definitely need more justification to do something like this in a production system where there is more than one developer working on it.

What is the reason that the ’scannerdemo.fla’ document (in barcodecomponent1.0.zip) is a ‘Compiled Clip’? So I cannot edit this ‘Library’ in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional.

Maybe I’m crazy, and I only read 75% of the comments, but how do you supply a default value for say… ONLY the fifth parameter of a function?

This is the only way I see how:
var asdf = function(a, b, c, d, e).defaults(undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined,’mydefaultvalue’);

And given how often the later parameters are optional and first ones are required, I’d much rather use your original, inituitive typeof solution which requires no extra code to hunt down or include.

Hi Chris,
Is it possible for you read QR (2D) barcodes from your code.
Also how much OCR can this do.Do we need to hold the object very close to webcam. I am looking for applications like reading snippets of newspapers etc.

Please write to me.

Thanks
Srini
