My counter goes to 100 at a constant speed. Is there a way to ramp the speed of a counter? Flash can use trigonometry values to effect speed, but I don't know if that can change the timer class on-the-fly. There's a couple parts to it. (a.) ramp the speed of a counter? (b.) ramp in certain parts? - have a range - 90-100 starts ram...

How do make a zero placeholder for the counter? My thought was an "if" condition with greater and lesser would work. if count is more than .00 and less than 10.00, add "0000000" etc. CODE "from some of the best minds" //counts var timer:Timer = new Timer(10); var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be ...

As of now I am using cURL to load a remote favicon, but it outputs it as a .ICO, which AS3 will not load. I tried to convert the .ICO with imagepng, but that caused errors. Is there a way I can load a remote favicon and convert it to a png with PHP before loading it into AS3 without relying on Google's s2? Some of the code: snip $imag...

I've been working with AS3 a lot over the last weeks and I've run into a situation that google hasn't been able to help with. The crux of the problem is that before I run a function I need to know that certain conditions have been met, for example loading my config.xml and putting it into a class variable. Where I run into trouble is tha...
I have a component that, on creation, dispatches two events to populate data fields. The events should remain separate because they're used elsewhere for distinct actions. I want to write an asynchronous flexunit test to confirm that these events are both sent. The problem is, they're both variants of the same event. Here's the code: ...
