I'm about to write a spec for a Flash developer to build a player control that works similar to the HTML5 <audio> tag.
One of the key points is how to add callbacks, for example, with the audio tag you would do something like:
getElementById('flashAudioPlayer').addEventListener('timeupdate', function() {
  // Do stuff
});
Is it possi...
            
           
          
            
            Hello,
This might be an awkward question, I apologize in advance.
I made a program to upload files and it uses FileReference. I want to have an AIR version of this program, but allow to pick a whole folder. So far, I was able to get this behavior through AIR using AIRAliases.js in JavaScript.
I am able to create File objects but I won...
            
           
          
            
            Whats the difference between these two?  They seem to both do the same thing not to mention both applied to the bitmap through applyFilter().

I can do without it if I find an equivalent function in actionscript.

            Hi
Im an experienced actionscript developer, and relatively new to Objective C.
I decided a good investment of my time would be to master the C language (not C# or C++).
Can anyone recommend the 'best' online tutorials for learning C?

            I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I can't find a reliable ORM for AIR.
The ones I find are not documented well and don't seem to have a solid following. Is a solid ORM non-existant at this point? 
Ones I'm aware of:

            Hey guys
I am trying to open a 16 bit tiff image in my AIR app. What I have found is a baseline decoder which supports only 8 bit images. Here are my options:
Extend its functionality to open 16
bit images but I dont know how to do
that and how trivial it is.
Open my images as 8 bit but I need to
do that automatically within Flex.

And this is supposed to return an XMLList of Groups anywhere in the xml. This works fine if I have more than one , but fails if there is only one .
Am I wrong in my assumption that it should return one? I trace xml..Group.length() and it is 0, but the Group is definately in the x...

            allowMultipleSelection="true"
