I'm building a realtime action multiplayer game in Flash which is using too much bandwidth because it sends message objects as XML (as required by the Smartfox server). I'm now trying to cut down on that by serializing my objects to strings before feeding them to Smartfox. I've tried JSON but it doesn't help much. Is there another seria...

To do this with a loop means executing a trace command multiple times, whichto my understandingprecludes the possibility of printing multiple table cells to a single row. (When coding trace(x); trace(y);, a line break falls between x and y.) What can I do? ...
For the downrankers: I have searched this question in the internet and found countless posts. But neither worked because of a small problem here or there, and when I though of posting my problems in the same thread I realized its a month/year/millennium old. So I'm gonna ask here. For other people: How do I switch scenes within a flas...

The link elements I'm talking about are single words, so they are not wrapped inside the container, which means that they should have a single bounding rectangle. But how do I go about finding this rectangle? I'm familiar with Flex3 but don't know enough about the new Text Layout Engine in Flex4. Can someone help me please? Thanks! ...

I have two SWFs: main.swf and external.swf. main.swf needs to access some methods in external.swf, so it loads external.swf into itself and uses getDefinitionByName("package.Class") to access the class and one of its methods: var ExternalClass = getDefinitionByName("package.Class") as Class; var ClassInstance = new ExternalClass(); var...
Ok, so I swear this question should be all over the place, but its not. I have a value object, inside are lots of getters/setters. It is not a dynamic class. And I desperately need to search an ArrayCollection filled with them. The search spans all fields, so and there are about 13 different types of VOs I'll be doing this with. I've t...
