I am working on an AIR application that needs to load, run, and access methods on a swf pulled in from the net. Using moduals has worked well in the past but due to design constraints is not possible for this application. Below you can see the code where I load the ImageTest.swf then call function Bleh() on it. private var l:Loader = ...
I have recently started doing some ActionScript/Flex programming and I am... Surprised... By the number of singletons I see. They are everywhere! The standard library, the frameworks...

It seems that flash.text.TextField in Flash has some built-in padding. In particular, my problem is that I need to left-align a text with some other graphical elements, and there is visible (about 3px) offset. The class flash.text.TextField (or any other related text class) does not seem to have property which could change it. I know th...

I have been in the process of creating a "lite" version of an existing Flex application, and thereby porting many of the classes that are used by both into a library project. As such, I want to easily find all of the "orphan" classes in the original project - those classes that are no longer referenced/used by the project. Is there an Ec...

Hello all, I have a simple PHP upload script that is called from my Flash App. I am sure it makes the call because it actually uploads the file! session_start(); $default_path = 'files/'; $target_path = ($_POST['dir']) ? $_POST['dir'] : $default_path; if(!file_exists($target_path)) mkdir($target_path, 0777, true); $destination = $t...
We're developing a small Flash gamelet for an European client of ours, who require us to develop our Flash game in such fashion that they can load our SWF game into their ActionScript 3 project, dynamically. Basically they have a console that will load many other Flash games, amongst our own, depending on which button the player presses...

With some research I figured out I should be looking for: plane.geometry.aabb But the plane, added on stage and such has null for its geometry? - what am I doing wrong here? I am able to calculateScreenCoords and get screen.x, screen.y. But it would save my day...
In my flash video using FLVPlayback, clicking the fullscreen button doesn't do anything, either in the html-loaded version or (more troublingly) when running locally. I've set "allowFullscreen" to true in the object and the embed tags in the html version. There are no errors in the flash console when running locally. Example. Any ide...
