I am converting a large application from AS2 to AS3. Part of the function is that it loads assets embedded in SWFs, which are old things. It is not possible to convert these to AS3 (there's really no code in them, it's just they're produced by tools that output flash 6 compatible SWFs). The question is, how can I use this AVM1 (ActionS...

I'm always tempted to extend the Sprite class just so my object can be part of the display list (and also have EventDispatcher functions), even though it has nothing to display. It will, however, contain things to be displayed. It's convenient because those contained objects need only reference their container for display list access. H...
I would like to use the selectionMode=multiple described in the Flex docs, but with a few modifications: 1) I would like the box that the user drags over the graph to remain there until the user drags a new one. 2) In the top right corner of the box I want to display the sum of the items selected by that box.
