I would like to set a fixed width for an input textfield with an embedded font. I would like to have the option to left-, right-, or center-justify the text. This is proving difficult. If I set myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;, I get left-justified text, but the textfield width changes with each keystroke. Same trade-of...

Okay, that's a fairly complicated title up there, so I'll explain the setup that's causing this error first. I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff...

I have created a collision class to detect collisions using pixels. In my class I've also developed some functions for determining the collsion angle.

I have five SWF files that are loaded into a main SWF. All five load when testing in the Flash CS3 IDE. When testing in the browser, only three of the five SWF files load. Loading just haults after the first three. No IOErrorEvent is triggered, and I am sure that the URLs for the SWFs are correct. I have used MonsterDebugger to pinpoin...
We are making a system that has a main swf for the application, and loads separate tools from separate swfs -- there will be versioning issues in the future since the separate swfs are coming from a cms (especially now since we're still developing, but also in the future when other developers might create an incompatible tool). I'm tryin...
