I'm using a ProgressEvent in Flash to determine how long something will take to download. I've got this: progress = event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal; to set a percentage. After some scratching of my head, I did a trace on the two values - and it turns out that "event.target.bytesTotal" is always equaling zero. I ca...

Alrighty, I don't know how I did this, probably the AS3 gods became angry with me when my scrollbar worked right after I coded it, with no bugs. But I have a very weird problem. I have three different buttons, they aren't nested within each other, and they have event listeners for mouse clicks that call a function. Whenever one of these ...

Are there any stream-reading, parsing libraries available for json or xml formats in AS3? I'm setting up a long-polling application, using URLStream/URLRequest. I do not have control over the data I'm receiving other than a choice between formats. I'd like to have a parser that can handle fragments at a time, which would allow me to t...
