I created a method for this object called unload. I also have a method which returns whether the interface has been loaded yet. Now, I want to unload the object so that the ...
I'm new to object oriented programming and flash. As far as I know, global variables and functions are evil things. We have to use objects, right? So far everything is going pretty well, apart from when I want to eg. create a log function which will write a debug message to a textfield object. The problem is that I need to be able to u...

I found the following Adobe Bug report (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/brows...
I am in the planning stages of a new Flash game project and was wondering which language would be better to use?

If I am creating say a input field through MXML, I can set the width to 100%. But I cannot seem to do this at runtime through ActionScript. This works: <mx:TextInput ... width="100%" /> This wont compile, says width is a number, not a string: var textinp:TextInput = new TextInput(); someContainer.addChild(textinp); textinp.width = "...

I feel like I'm missing something really simple here. I'm loading a AS3 swf containing a form (created by one of our designers) into a flex app. The swf's tabIndex properties work fine when the swf is viewed by itself, however, once it's loaded into the flex app: <mx:SWFLoader source="form.swf" top="20" horizontalCenter="0" id="formSwf"...

I have a contact form that connects to my site's back-end, the form submits just fine but I get no server response. It's always 'undefined'. I'm worried it may be because of this, but I was hoping maybe one of you smarter folks could help me find either a workaround or if it isn't because of that (note: most likely), then maybe you could...
In Flex, say I have a Class object. How do I get a string for the class it represents? e.g.: var clazz:Class= String; trace(clazz); // this gives "[class String]" but what I want is "String" ...
Why does the trace in the loop below return false for every iteration, even though there ARE nodes named with 6 of the 8 possible values??? This only happens when I have a namespace.
