I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of th...

I'm trying to find an easy way to use degrafa with MXML. I'm no artist and creating graphics using code just seems very wrong when you can't visualise what is needed to make the required art work. What I'm after is a tool that can take an SVG graphic and convert to suitable MXML tags so that I can copy/paste them into a MXML file. There...

A long time ago (5+ years) I read an article about optimal frame rates for the Flash Player. The article reasoned through some calculations that 31 frames per second was the optimal fps to run your movies at and seemed, at the time, logical to me and have been using 31 fps ever since. However, I have forgotten the reasoning from that ar...

I'm looking for a reliable mocking framework for ActionScript. I've been using mock-as3, but I'm annoyed with what I feel is a hack-ish solution for triggering events. There are other a few other reasons why I'd like to have some options, but not sure if I necessarily need to go into them. I've also looked into Mock4AS, but the interface...
I have the following two projects in in Flex Builder 3: One AS3 library project (generates a SWC file) One Flex application project (MXML Application) The MXML Application references to the AS3 library project (Flex build path). So far, so good. I now want to run code automatically when an application uses the AS3 library. The [mixin...

Flex is fairly large, and SWF's being no less than 150Kb big, I'm just thinking it must be possible to get something that have smaller SWF files as an end result. I've come accross AS Wing, and was curious if there's more. Thanks fo...
