Update: Modified title to better reflect my question Hi everybody :) My question today revolves around a CustomEvent I'm trying to send from one sub Class to another. I've used my CustomEvent class to pass an event from a sub Class to my main class fine, but I'm not sure who to do that between sub classes. My Custom Event Class pack...
I'm going to be as specific and verbose as possible and include some of the code I'm using. I already did a search and found this question, which seems similar; however the author there was using ActionScript 2 instead of 3, and I couldn't seem to apply any of the answers given to my own situation effectively. I am trying to emulate (in...
In IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working). However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windo...
Hi, I have a movieClip with two buttons inside. The problem is that when the mouse is over these two buttons, the code that manages the movieClip stops working, as if the mouse is not over the MC (the buttons are children of the MC, shouldn't it work regardless?). Could you please share some advice? Thanks /*mc follows mouse. I can't ...

Is it any faster to use myString.replace(/foo/g,"bar") rather than myString.split("foo").join("bar") for long strings in ActionScript 3? Or are they just two comparable methods of achieving the same result? ...
I'm making a multiplayer flash game that has a lot of graphics/code. I'm having some performance issues with things such as my weather effects. Like I'm wondering if it's better to use a bitmap graphic or just use the "vector" (what ever format flash images are drawn in the fla) graphics in a large resource heavy game? While not wor...
I happen to see a 2D shading "engine" on youtube written for flash and was wondering if anyone happened to know what the most popular 2D Flash AS3 Shading "Engines" are? I'm not real good in this field (which is why I ask encase anyone can point me toward an "easy" solution), Thanks! ...
Hi guys, I'm working on a high-end flash site (AS3) with lots of video, hi-res graphics, and sound effects; needless to say, the initial preloader's got a lot of work to do (just to get the site to a point where additional assets can be loaded on the fly as needed). Because it'll be displayed for a while on most connection speeds, it's...

If I use metadata tags in front of an interface, is that the same as in front of a class? I. e., can I do [Event(name="fooUpdate", type="com.acme.events.FooEvent") public interface IFoozer extends IEventDispatcher { } // ... now omit that metadata in the implementations ... public class Foozer extends EventDispatcher implements IFooze...

Hi, I'm trying to modify the text of a Label component that I already placed on the stage in as3. I'm having trouble getting the text to change though, it just stays the same based on the inital text I typed in. I'd like to eventually have the label contents change dynamically. When I compile the swf, the two labels have the original v...
in ActionScript 3, if I loop through the children of a movie clip, it will return a DisplayObjectContainer, which is a list of DisplayObjects. However, the AS3 typeof cannot identify MovieClip as MovieClip is now an object, instead of a data type. How can I correctly identify MovieClip? I found 3 solutions online: Solution 1 (the sol...
I have a AS3 swf [1] that is loading another AS2 swf [2] which is loading another AS3 swf [3]. I'm getting a Security Sandbox violation on the AS2 swf trying to access the last AS3 swf (3), but I'm using Security.allowDomain("*") in practically all the classes of the first AS3 swf (1). Is there any way to get around this? Thanks. ...
