I'm building a SWF using the command line compiler mxmlc.exe. The compiler writes the output file size as part of it's stdout. If I run the compiler multiple times in succession without changing the actual source code, I see the file size bounce up and down a few bytes at a time. C:\>mxmlc.exe Gallery.as C:\Gallery.swf (28443 bytes) ...
I am trying to incorporate prototype.js's bind() function into my Flash component. I found this article by Jordan Broughs, which gave me hope. He suggested using this code snippet: Function.prototype.bind = function():Function { var __method:Function = this; var object:Object = arguments[0]; return function():void { _...

Due to requirements outside of my control (don't ask, it's ridiculous) I need to create an AS3 class called 'Math' that references the Global AS Math class. So, for example: package my.package { public class Math { public static function pow( a:Number, b:Number ):Number { // How do I call the Global.as$Math#...

Can anyone tell me why ActionScript 3, a statically typed language, doesn't have generics? Is it too much work? A historical thing? Is there some way to "fake" it that I haven't picked up yet? Edit: thanks a lot for the answers! The Vector class is basically what I was looking for, and the other information was helpful too. ...
I'm wondering if there is a free script or easy tutorial on how to make photo-flow like the top of this website. It is similar to how itunes album navigation works. So far, all I found is this non-free photo flow. I was wondering if this can be done without paying any money. ...

Hello, Anyone know if it is possible via AS3 to change a button to its rollover state when it is not, in reality, rolled over? Client decided way late in process to ask for some other elements to affect button states. If I had known I would have used movie clips instead of buttons. Thanks for any advice, JG ...
I have an Flash AS3 project that loads external SWFs and controls them in different ways. On some of the loaded SWF files, they have a "Next Selection" button that takes you to a new presentation. On my main externally loaded SWF, I have the code: setTimeout(function() {dispatchEvent(new Event("nextPresentation", false));}, 4000); W...
I have several (20-30) Flash files that I need to migrate from AS2 to AS3. The biggest issue that I'm having is that it's extremely tedious to go through all the code and change the places where the code is on the buttons to an event handler model. I'm not hopeful, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any tricks or tools to quickly ch...
For a project I'm working on in Flex I decided to create several separate files for each 'theme' that can be used. Since each theme can and will require specific code, images, styles and virtually anything else, the classical css-only option was not really possible. I have one problem with this method, and that's that each 'child' mxml ...

By default Google Maps Flash API cancels bubbling of all MouseEvents that occur over their Markers (dragable at least). However in MapMouseEvent constructor I see that it has a parameter "bubbles?" so I guess they can be made to bubble mouse events? Is there a way to turn bubbling of mouse events on? var __marker = new Marker(new LatLng...
