This question is specific to Adobe AIR ActionScript/Flash applications. I've spend quite some time researching this and kept finding discussions about either the Flash Player security model when running in the browser, where issues with SWF loading can be mitigated in various ways (loading from the same domain, using a crossdomain.xml fi...
I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it wh...
I notice in older version of flash you can create an instance of a dynamic class. I am creating a game that will have many different classes that can be displayed on the stage but can very from time to time. How would I go about calling them dynamically. for example var newObject = new ["DynamicObject"](); ?? Is this possible in As3...

I could find no documentation on how to accomplish this using copyPixels(), or an...

I'm making an arcade game in as3 and I want to draw pixely(unsmoothed by flash) lines. I'm drawing the pixels 'by hand'(not with flash's lineTo or anything) onto a bitmapdata object. The lines don't appear quite right though, when zoomed out the line is rendered 2 pixels thick at some parts. However by zooming it its apparent that t...

This all works great, but I want the VBox to scroll back to the correct verticalScrollPosition. I tried even the simplest thing: myVBox.verticalScrollPosition = 200 But I just ...
I'm doing some calculation with numbers and would like to only print an integer (the number without the decimals). I thought that the toFixed() method of the Number class would do the trick, and it does most of the time. But quite frequently strange values are returned. Here are 2 examples: Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns "0." while ...

I'm currently working on a WYSISYG editor that allows the user to move, resize and rotate shapes by directly manipulating them. The resizing seems to be fairly complex when the shape is rotated. I got this working for non-rotated shapes, but it will take some trigonometric calculations to resize shapes that are rotated. The registration ...
