I have tried the close(); command b...
I have a Javascript function that returns the innerHTML of a div. I am attempting to call this function from Actionscript and store the return value. I know that the Javascript function is being called because there is an alert that displays the return data, The data that is returned to Actionscript, however, is null. I am not sure w...
I've gone over the Alchemy quick start guide and exported my stringecho.swc successfully, but I don't want to compile in Flex. I just don't know Flex and I'm not very keen on learning it all of a sudden. I tried to do my business in Flash, instead, considering that they both run on AS3. The Flex code they give as an example is package ...
I have a Flex application that calls a .aspx page on our webserver, which builds a PDF or Excel File. Right now, I am using navigateToURL() to call the file, and this works fine when the output file is built successfully. However, if there is an error, or timeout, there is no way of knowing this in the Flash movie. I am trying to use U...

This runs in as3, and javascript. Why? I know how && and || work, but a list? is this as3 specific? Is this in other languages? I'm a mouth breathing PHP/AS2 programmer. Or did everyone already know this and I'm a tool for not reading documentation properly? AS3 if (true, true, true) { trace("true?") }//result - "true?" traced...

How would I use a ColorPicker in Flex 3 to change the color of a movieclip which was dynamically loaded from an array into a SWFLoader? ...
I love the AS3 event model - it helps keep my code clean and lossely coupled. When I used to work on AS2 projects, my code was not so neat and classes were more reliant on one another. Due to AS2's strange handling of scope I never really got on with the AS2 event system. As I still occasionally have to work in AS2, my question is: Ha...

In Flex, I'm using an HBox to hold thumbnails. When more thumbnails are added than can be shown, the HBox becomes scrollable. When I add more than, say, 80 images, when I scroll back to the first image, the images begin "tearing", until I hover my mouse over them. This is how it looks when few images are added: When many images are ...

I am using a SWC that was published from Flash CS3 in an Actionscript project in FlexBuider. The problem is that every time I make a change and re-publish the SWC the changes I made are not immediately recognized back in FlexBuilder. In order to have newly published SWC recognized I have to remove the reference to the SWC from the libra...
