How to use hitTestPoint when a movie is scaled
Google says that: displayObject.hitTest(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY, true) is the way to test for the mouse being over a DisplayObject. This works if my movie is displayed at 100% scale. But if maximise my browser window so the Flash movie changes scale, it all goes to pieces. Does anyone have a way to fix this, please? Many thanks....
How do I detect rollover on elements while dragging a MovieClip above them?
I have a draggable item, a MovieClip that calls startDrag() on itself when it is clicked, and another MovieClip on the stage.

I want a timer to call a function at 50 ms intervals for 100 times. however the timer takes much longer than it should, which adds up to 1677 ms (1.677 seconds!) too much after 100 repeats. Am I missing something here or is the timer THAT inaccurate? Code function test(event:TimerEvent):void{ tra...

Can I make my Flex entry-point MXML subclass a custom AS3 class
With MXML components, I've seen a pattern used where you have an AS3 class, then the MXML subclasses it, to have a separation between view/code (anonymized from real code): package com.john { public class MyComponent extends Canvas { ... } } <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <logic:MyComponent xmlns:logic="com.john.*" ...

How are these two ways of typecasting in ActionScript 3 different?
In the Lynda.com title "ActionScript 3.0 in Flash CS3 Professional - Beyond the Basics" Todd Perkins shows how one way of typecasting var xml: XML; xml = event.target.data as XML doesn't work, while var xml: XML; xml = XML(event.target.data) does.
