As it stands, I'm assuming that my AS3 user controls are added at compile time and thus are not accessible from the...
I used Gaia framework to build a self-scrolling slideshow. There are only 4 pages in all, but I have realized to my dismay that each of these pages are requested over and over from the server. If you leave the page open and the animation goes by itself, that can clobber our server. What can I do to prevent this? I wonder if there is a ...

Any help is much ...

I have a custom TitleWindow component that is registered to listen for keyboard events from the user (so that esc closes the window, enter saves, etc.). However, in my testing I've found a couple cases where my keyboard event handlers don't fire. My best guess as to why this is happening is that there is some child component somewhere t...

Hello, I have a class named TextLink. The text is meant to be clicked on and it should dispatch an event (which I'm not too concerned about yet)... currently it just prints out a message. The class takes an x, y, and a string to set the text. Dead simple... But it crashes the browser. Instance calls in main: package { import fl...
Hi all, I have been googeling it for a while but with no success.

A box that is composed of subitems. each subitem can be viewed or removed from the box. I...

I wrote a Scale9Bitmap class in AS3 and it requires the dev to set the BitmapData and a Rectangle for the scale9Grid. I'm wondered what is customary for the public get functions of both. Do I return a clone of each to make it free of hanging references, but not as memory-friendly? or do I leave that up to the dev and return the original ...
EDIT (for clarification): I have a vector image with a simple contour, an irregular closed polygon. I need to import it into Flash in a way that I can then programmatically access each of the segments that form the polygon. Importing the vector image into the library as a MovieClip wasn't good because all I get is a shape from which I ca...
