I'm trying to read the width and height of a locally loaded image. This seems to work for images that do not exceed the dimensions limited by the Flash Player 10 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/496/cpsid_49662.html), but as soon as the images are bigger, the width and height remain 0. The strange thing is that now and then, I can read the dime...
I am working on a UI that makes heavy use of the Tweener class, and which also loads an external .swf that I believe also uses the Tweener class. After tracking down all kinds of buggy behavior, I'm thinking that the problem is that the loaded .swf is making calls to Tweener.removeAllTweens() *(This is just an assumption) and stopping ...

The forms are so similar, I don't want to have to create two separate forms, one for Add and one for Modify. For example, in the Add form, the user specifies a...

Python's repr function is awesome: it returns a printable representation of an object. For example, repr(["a'b", {1: 2}, u"foo"]) is the string '["a\'b", {1: 2}, u\'foo\']'. Notice, eg, how quotes are properly escaped. So, is there anything like this for ActionScript? For example, right now: [1, 2, ["3", "4"]].toString() produces the ...
