Is it possible to make a FLA file that points to these components in source format (as .AS files), without compiling these components separately 1st and copying to /flash/components folder?

Hey there, I've got a rather large flex app that we've just built for a client. Now, the bossman tells me that more clients are interested in the app. However, their implementations will need a few small tweaks (don't they always!).

I'm trying to learn Actionscript 2 or 3, with AS2 I eventually figured by trial and error that I could get any named instance and modify it using a string with its name using var theinstance = "titletext"; // actually exctracted from an array _root[theinstance].htmlText = "New text with <b>HTML!</b>"; but when trying to convert the co...

The subject pretty much explains it all. I start on frame one of a MovieClip with just a Bitmap covering the whole stage. Then when a user clicks a button, it goes to frame two and a vector shape is on the stage covering part of the image. At the same time, through code, I place an input Textfield on the stage. Problem is, the dynamica...

Situation: you've got a .swf embedded in an html page, and when you click on something in the .swf, it needs to popup a chromeless window. Normally this would be fairly easy - but consider Safari, which completely disables all 'window.open' functionality while its popup-blocker is enabled (it makes an exception if the function is trigger...
On a more abstract level then a previous question, in my experience there are 3 ways to call a javascript function on an html page from an embedded .swf using AS3: ExternalInterface, fscommand, and navigateToURL. Let's compare and contrast these methods (and maybe others I haven't listed) and talk about the pros and cons of each - right...
