I've recently had the need to use the managers compiler argument, because the project had an Open Type font embedded, and was generating errors at compilation. Now I need to use the same argument in my ant task, but for some reason it doesn't work. I'm using Flex SDK 3.2. The task looks something like: <mxmlc file="${main....
I would like to compile my flex application with a services-config.xml file. However, I am forced to supply a context.root. In my setup, the context root (context path) isn't known until my .war file is named and dropped into the webapps directory. It seems like there has to be a way to do this, but I haven't been able to come up with ...
Hi guys, I just ran into a strange binding problem. In the mini app below, the Flex Label component is updated when 'someText' changes, but my boundSetter won't be called after the first, initial call. In short: Why is the boundSetterForSomeText() function not called, while the label does update? Could anybody please shed some light o...

I created a Flash room editor for an online game. The user is able to add items to their room, which the flash loads in and creates an object for each item. For the average user this works great, but I have run across a case where a user has added 8400 items to a room and the flash can't handle it. The XML file loads up fine, but noth...
I am using Flex to create a small form. All I have at the moment is a List component, that I want to populate with a list of font names. I am getting the fonts using Font.enumerateFonts(true);. This returns an array of flash.text.Font objects. The Font objects have a fontName property that is a String of that fonts name. My problem is...
I'm doing a simple test. I want to write BitmapData into a ByteArray. I'm trying to do this with writeObject() and readObject(). Read object seems to have trouble making sense of the BitmapData. var byteArray : ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var _cache : BitmapData = new BitmapData( 640, 480, true, 0x000000 ); var _blank : BitmapData = ne...
I wrote some very simple code to replace the mouse Cursor in a flash application I am writing in AS3/FlexSDK. The code: var cursor:MovieClip = new Cursor_addElement(); canvas.addChild(cursor); cursor.startDrag(true); It works perfectly fine on XP and 2x Vista machines, but on OSX the cursor does not follow along with the mouse - it j...
I'm working on this Flash project done with AS3 and for some reason the buttons I've created aren't always responding to clicks. Sometimes I need to click two or three times before the actual click comes through. Has anyone experienced similar issues? ...

Greetings. I'm building a video player in ActionScript 3, that's supposed to be targeted on performance. It has to play large h264 videos via RTMP, with the least possible processor load. There's not much control on the actual video playback part, but my approach is to try and not kill the processor with the chrome and other additional ...
Hey, again. The stageHeight and stageWidth are read-write properties of the Stage class. Is there any way to embed the swf so that when you set them to a different value, this is reflected in the HTML page? Possibly without calling a JS function via ExternalInterface to modify the embed's parameters? The main idea is that I don't know...
