For some reason everyone who upgrades their Flash Player to the latest version (10,0,32,18) immediately start having problems with my application.

I'm using an XMLparser class to convert XML into an object. The problem is that the XML I have contains a dot in the nodeName (estate_size.primary_room_area). This of course doesn't work since it uses the dot notation for the object path already. Some ideas, but have no idea how to do them: -Replace the dot in the name somehow -Change ...
I am converting a large application from AS2 to AS3. Part of the function is that it loads assets embedded in SWFs, which are old things. It is not possible to convert these to AS3 (there's really no code in them, it's just they're produced by tools that output flash 6 compatible SWFs). The question is, how can I use this AVM1 (ActionS...

Has anyone here come up with an elegant way to take a piece of text and make it go around the edge of a line that is warped? (specifically, circular, but I'm sure once it's following the line, the shape is not relevant). I can't find a good resource for how to do this. I assume I'll need to create separate movie clips for each character ...

However, I am unable to manipulate anything within the dynamically loaded SWF from the main file. I'm simply loading the file with this: _root.container.loadMovie("home.swf",0); I tried getting the loaded SWF to play by usin...

Hi, I just started learning how to code games in flash using a tutorial that was for action script 2. I am wondering if you can accomplish enough in action script 2 or if I should just learn how to use 3. I heard you can do a lot more with action script 3 but is it really that important for me to switch? (I am not going to make any 3D ga...
