I've tried many different ways of accessing the name of an attribute, but just can't get it working. The current Function: protected function applyProperties(_axml:XML):void { var list:XMLList = _axml.properties; var list2:XMLList = list.attributes(); for( var i = 0; i < list2.length(); i++ ){ trace(list2[i].nodeName.toStr...
I am creating a blit game and as of right now, the only thing that is blitting is the world itself (i.e. roads, fences). i was planning on displaying my character as a sprite and any interactive objects that it comes by as sprites as well. PickUps, Houses, Enemies. I was wanting to know what are the best practices when it comes to this. ...
I want to dynamically create and put some Image (mx.controls.Image) objects on a Canvas and I want them then to be able to be repositioned by the user via the mouse. Can this be done?

I have a Flex application that can load modules as necessary. When the first module is loaded, it creates a class MyBackground(), which paints the background red. When I choose to load a second module (and unload the first) I again load a class MyBackground (from the second module). However, when I step into the constructor for MyBackgro...
I'm constructing a book of sorts in Actionscript 3 (FlexBuilder) and am trying to size an image dynamically according to the dimensions of it's source file. But, I've found that if I don't explicitly state the width and height of an image, they trace as 0. So that I can scale down an image to fit within a given space, how do I get th...

Hi friends! I'm a noob trying to develop my first site with Flash. I made some scrollers, but they aren't smooth... The code I used was: const scrollUpper:int = -151; const scrollLower:int = 366; const scrollRange:int = scrollLower - scrollUpper; var dragBounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(scroller_mc.x, scrollUpper, 0, scrollRange); var...
Hi, I'm new to Actionscript (v3), 20 years C++ though, and I'm just trying to get my head around some of the performance caveats I'm reading. I checked out this site: http://www.nbilyk.com/optimizing-actionscript-3 and was scared to death of the 'code' section saying that Actionscript has to do a dynamic lookup when trying find stati...

This might be a dumb question. I think I already know the answer, just clarify. If you declare a object in varible1 and then pass the value into varible2. If you decide to null varible2 would that kill just the reference or the object itself as well. I want to say no, but then again, everything you do to the reference it self, also affec...

I am trying to use AlivePDF to save a chart into a .pdf file. However, when I try to save my chart, it ends up clipping half of the chart in the pdf so it isn't even fully visible. It seems that the screencapture that AlivePDF took to generate my pdf was too small. I am trying to get a chart from a sample to work with sample code for ...
I'm using Loader to get the image data out of a ByteArray. The problem is that I need to store that image data with a name (which is known beforehand) once it's passed to the complete handler. Since the operation is asynchronous, I can't be sure which image of multiple will finish loading first, so it seems I need to pass the information...

What I have is a php-backend and a webpage that shows a .swf with some actionsscript-3 code in it, to draw in flash some sort of map and make available seats clickable for the end-user. The problem with this solution is, that there are quite large hal...
