I have couple of questions about AS3 variables handling by AVM/compiler/scope .1.

Why? .2. How Flash sees variables in loops? App...

We have a number of AS/Flex components that we've built over time and improved upon. They've been turned into components so they can be reused in different projects and save us time. So you can think of them as part of an in-house framework of sorts. We're now realizing that it doesn't make sense to release the source code for these com...

I'm working on a project in Flash CS4/AS3 and I have a document class set up but I am wondering about using that, as opposed to frame-based scripting. Most of what I have seen so far deals with how to create them, but doesn't offer much about why or when to use them. I know I can also pull in other classes beyond the document class but,...

As flashplayer has only one thread and is event driven, big tasks have to be divided to smaller tasks so that the application stays responsive. For now I've done this with the Timer by doing a small part of work in every TIMER event. Is there a better way of doing this (some library maybe)? What is your recommendation? ...
