Also if it is off, is there a way to possibly calibrate the response based on monitor refresh rate and action to make sure the v...
I'm trying to call an event I've created in another component. I've added trace() into my methods so I can see what's being called. Everything except for the event listener (myEvent) is being called. Can anyone tell me why this is please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. // TestApp.mxml (application) <?xml vers...
Hey guys, I've had quite a bit of success implementing the Socket class in AS3, particularly with making HTTP requests to retrieve binary (images) or ascii (JSON) data. However, I need to be able to be flexible between HTTP and HTTPS - so given the current state of AS3's Socket class, this becomes a problem. My question isn't necessar...

Hi Stackers, so I have a JSON link that contains a couple of nodes (not sure what you call them in JSON) that I need to put into arrays in ActionScript, but I'm still having trouble trying to trace out all the specific node content. I found a similar question here, but the fix just showed how to trace out the entire JSON file (which sho...

I am developing a PV3D application that imports DAE models exported by Blender's Collada Exporter plugin (1.4). When I build them in Blender, I use exact dimensions (the end-game is to have scale models in PV3D). Using the same scale of dimensions, some models appear in PV3D extremely tiny, while others are the appropriate size. Many ap...
First off, I don't have a copy of Verdana bold. It's no where on my hd and I don't know the first thing about making fonts so that is out of the question. I've been searching for a couple of hours now and it seems the tried and true solution is to embed multiple versions of the font off the stage. Ridiculous. Right? In either case, ...

I'm developing a presentation tool for AIR (to be used together with, or as a replacement to, PowerPoint) but I'm quite a newcomer to flex layouting. As you can see from the image, the presenter can open various apps from the main window. Each of these apps open up in new windows which have different visual characteristics; some use the...

Hi Everybody, Hopefully someone can see something which I've missed out or something, because this is really odd! Basically I've created a print class which has all the print job code in to print a sprite, however when I print it, the sprite which I've created acts like a mask and the area where the sprite graphic should be is filled wi...
