Inside this right_container_mc I have other other movie clips called execiseBox that get added (in the correct positions on the stage) from an array with a...

I can receive data back using a DATAEVENT listener, bu...

I am working on a UI that makes heavy use of the Tweener class, and which also loads an external .swf that I believe also uses the Tweener class. After tracking down all kinds of buggy behavior, I'm thinking that the problem is that the loaded .swf is making calls to Tweener.removeAllTweens() *(This is just an assumption) and stopping ...

Well that's the problem. Creating an RSS reader. One feature is that should parse several "category" nodes from a feed. But when I load a feed, the category doesn't shows up in the text area. Flash returns no errors. Heres the code - var curStory = rssXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex] var catlist:XMLList = curStory.categor...
From what I understand a framework reduces complexity in areas that are common, like a log-in system. I use ASP.NET MVC at work and have done some work in Zend Framework but do not get how a framework helps with client side development. The reason ASP.NET MVC is used at work is for Unit Testing - does a Flex framework help with this too?...

Hi, I'm creating a game for an assignment and am using Flash CS4. I'm figuring the best way to do this is to create each room setting in a separate file and insert the characters (it's first person, so you only see his back the entire time). I don't want to just animate him for every room because it's basically the same actions he does i...
