Hi, I am trying to dynamically load a progressive jpeg using actionscript 3. To do so, I have created a class called Progressiveloader that creates a URLStream and uses it to streamload the progressive jpeg bytes into a byteArray. Everytime the byteArray grows, I use a Loader to loadBytes the byteArray. This works, to some extent, becau...
Hi, I am trying to implement simple chat application using flex. In it all my chat messages are stored as array collection items, where each item is a string (correspondent to one chat message).

Give this scenario: I have a cool graphic in Illustrator or Flash. The graphic represents a figure, with various elements inside, shapes, lines, gradients, etc. I export it to a swf file and I can view my nice graphic if I open it. I have a (pure) as3 application, which loads swfs. Then... Can I manipulate the contents of the loade...
Jaycut is a flash-based online video editing tool. It's surprisingly capable, what I'm wondering is how they achieve this in Flash/Flex. They allow mixing of video, audio and applying transitions and that seems a lot to do in AS3. I wondered if perhaps the mixing is done on the server when you click "preview video", but even then it stil...

Hi, I'm currently building the damage mechanic for my game. Two classes handle this, the 'hurt' class, and the 'collision' class. The hurt class passes an instance of itself to the 'hurtCollision' method of the collision class, so that the collision class can detect a collision between the player and that instance of hurt (which is a di...
Is there a way to get a list of events available in Actionscript 3? Like MouseEvent.CLICK and Event.ENTER_FRAME but the full list to look at. I tried searching the manual on Adobe's site, but just couldn't find it. I'm using the flex plugin inside Eclipse if that makes any difference. ...
I have a function (call it funcX) that at certain times is being called on the enterFrame event. At those times it is extremely computation intensive and is for example using 70% of the available processing power of the computer or more. Scroll events and other input events in the swf page are still being processed just fine. However,...
I'm trying to scatter movie clips around the stage using Actionscript 3 in a way that looks as though they were randomly placed there, like photographs spread out on a table top. I tried using a spiral type arrangement, but found it too uniform, and also a circular distribution, but found that too random. The other factor is that i'd l...
Hi there, I am setting a string variable to the value of a input box in my movie but Flash also seems to be adding a \r (Carrage Return) to the end of it's value. This is not something i am typing. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong, i can't seem to find where it is coming from. If this is normal, what is the best way to pre...

Hi all, Doing a bit of research on dependency injection frameworks for AS3 to retain loose-coupling of classes and boost our re-usability of code. I've been looking heavily at RobotLegs. There's a whole lot I still don't understand about the framework but it seems ideal for our regular Rich Media apps but has anyone used this framework f...

I am looking for security vs...
