In Flash CS5 it seems like there's an option to import .swc files into the library, but as an RSL (runtime shared library). What's the difference between this option (swc) and using a runtime shared library .swf file? Also, if you select a .swc file, and choose the "info" ("i") icon, there seems to be several options for .swc..."merg...
Hey guys, have a little issue i need to figure out. I created a movie clip button that contains 2 text fields, one static and one dynamic. The dynamic text field holds strings that will vary in length. This MC in general is used as a button so what im trying to do is not have the hit area as large as the length of the text box. If you g...
I have a Flash Movie (SWF) that is consuming a .NET WebService (located on the same domain) and in my Test environment everything works perfectly (Test env is all HTTP).

In Flash I have some PNG images, and I wish these images to become 50% larger on hover. However the tween I have used to make them larger distorts the quality of the images considerably. For the tween I am not using any external libraries and I am using a standard scaleX tween. Is there a way around this loss of quality? ...
I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state). I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them. Here's my code: //-----------G...
Below is my class, which simply reads an xml file and provides the contents in e4x format. Unfortunately, after the constructors executes and sets the xmlProperties property with the expected values, it some how becomes null. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? public class WebService { private var _propertiesReader:HTTPServic...
I am trying to use URLLoader to load an XML file from server (same domain as swf). This should be too simple but I am getting Error #2032: Stream Error If I trace the HTTP status event it just shows status=0 though I have read that Mozilla doesn't supply status codes to Flash Player so maybe it's not informative. I have sniffed the HTT...

I'm trying to streamline my error reporting for internal testing. When I use URLLoader/URLRequest to load a page that responds with the 500 HTTP status code, I catch it with the IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but can't find a way to get the response body. Unlike with Event.Complete, loader.data (My URLLoader) is an empty string. Yes, I can us...
I haven't tried yet but am curious if I should even bother. I have a legacy AS2 swf that I don't want to rewrite in AS3 but I need to improve upon it to play video, and I'd prefer to use the AS3 video playing mechanisms. Ideally I can build an AS3 movie that just takes a string param of the movie location and plays it. I'd load this ...

Hi, i'm curious about something. Let say we have 30 object in the code, and every object should be animated trough enter frame event. Which will be faster(in terms of memory execution) : to have just one event listener in the main object (for example) and to call object methods, or, to have separate event listener for every object? Thank...
What is the most efficient way to insert one Vector into another at specific position? For example: var aa:Vector.<int> = Vector.<int>([1, 2, 3]); var bb:Vector.<int> = Vector.<int>([9, 8, 7]); This doesn't seems to work: bb.splice(1, 0, aa); The result is [9, 0, 8, 7]. ...
I need to get a random filename from a directory in AS3, and open it. (This will be online, so no AIR) I'm thinking of just using a text/xml file with all the filenames listed, and just traverse through it getting the filename. But is there a more "direct" way to just look at the directory so I don't have to edit the text/xml file all t...
