In actionscript 3, my TextField has : CSS styling embedded fonts textAlign : CENTER autoSize : CENTER ... when italics are used the very right character gets slightly cut off (specially caps).

Recently I took on a rather daunting task of creating an interactive music video for the popular show Ghost Whisperer. I was brought in late in the project and was confronted with a giant authoring file (some 5000+ frames long). The previous programmer (who did everything in AS2) had essentially embedded a two and half minute FLV on th...
I'm working with Flex 3.4 SDK. I'm trying to programmatically(yep, must be this way) style/skin a VBox so that its top right corner is rounded, and it gets a two colors gradient brackground.

We all get "TypeError #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" now and then - no big deal, but sometimes frustrating to debug.

I've read multiple examples on this, but I just don't get how it works. How does the class know it's THE pre-loader? How does flash know to load one class but not another? How much can I do in a preloader? :-p I'm using FlashDevelop atm and it's generating the project for me - however, from all the examples I checked they didn't expl...

I've written a socket server which communicates with my actionscript 3 flash game using the Socket class. This is a TCP connection, which I thought would mean that it is 100% sure that the sending message will be received by the server as this is done low-level. So, if it would fail to send it would resend the message. This does seem to...
Is it possible to read the realtime updated quotes in this website through actionscript3, without having to reload the page all the time, which would be network-heavy. In other words, is it possible to stream the quote-data directly into actionscript3 or eventually PHP from javascript? If not does anyone have any suggestion to how to g...

I'm porting a DOS game to AS3. I need a way to specifically format my sprite files. I need to know how to take a 256-colour paletted PNG, and save a (presumably) 32-bit PNG, where all three colour channels are summed to the blue channel only - so all colour information is contained only on the blue channel. I plan on modifying an AS3 P...
I have managed to get a custom Flex component (based on a Tile) to render on to an Away3d plane as described at http://www.flashgamer.com/2008/08/using%5Faway3d%5Finside%5Fa%5Fflex%5Fapp.html I cannot however set the object to be interactive. When setting wallMaterial.interactive = true; I end up with a "supplied index out of bounds"...

Hi, Is it possible to paste (as in copy/paste from the clipboard) a bitmap into a flash application? I'm thinking about a level editor that lets you edit the tile images but wanted to allow copying or some quick way of syncing from an external file without them having to upload it etc etc. Cheers, Chris ...
