So I have an Application Sandbox HTMLLoader object which I create in AIR and simply want to call ActionScript methods from JavaScript. In Flash, this is accomplished through our trusty ExternalInterface.addCallback() function. However in AIR, things are quite a bit different, and I just can't seem to get it to work. Here is a simplified...

I'd like to play videos, as well as display images and possibly other flash content using adobe air, and reading from the local file system. I've been searching APIs and I have not yet been able to connect the dots. I know of flash.filesystem.File and flash.filesystem.FileStream and have experimented with loading and reading files. I be...
How do Google Maps do their panoramas in Street View? Yeah, I know its Flash, but how do they skew bitmaps with Correct Texture Mapping? Are they doing it on the pixel-level like most Flash 3D engines?, or just applying some tricky transformation to the Bitmaps in the Movieclips? ...

How do I open 'cross-domain security', so the JavaScript on the page can freely communicate with the SWF, even when this is hosted on another domain? I know for certain that this function communication is blocked by default, but by playing around with a file called "crossdomain.xml" and the actionscript 3 function: system.Security.allow...

I heard that AS boxes and un-boxes values every time arguments are passed into/out of functions. A. Therefore, would this be faster? var val = doWork(50,"hello", 2048); function doWork (param1,param2,param3){ t.text = param2; return param1+param3; } B. Or this? var val:Number = doWork(50,"hello", 2048); function doWork (para...
Update: somehow this works when running flash in browser, but doesn't work if you run from IDE. You might want to try running in browser if you have the same problem. I am making a chat application that repeatedly reads a text file from my server using Flash & Actionscript 3.0. I am opening the file with URLLoader, and it works fine at ...

As a side project, for "fun," I'm rewriting my blog and CMS in Flex and AIR respectively, and while I'm pretty well satisfied with the design thus far, the one major pain point remains working with (which is to say performing CRUD operations on) legacy HTML content, and rendering that HTML content decently in both the browser and the Fla...
I have a Flash library with Sprite symbols composed of other sprites with design-time applied filters. I'm embedding those symbols into a Flex application like so: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] [Embed(source="Resources.swf", symbol="Squ...

A little (!) bit of background before I can get to the question : I have an accordion control loaded with an array of grids, each of which is lazy loaded with arrays of things. I'm using an auto-generated web service proxy to retrieve these lists. I'd like for the user to be able to change the selected child in the accordion without hav...

I am trying to turn the the flash page flip (source: http://76design.com/shiftcontrol/index.php/2005/07/03/dynamic-page-flip/) into a single page that can be lifted up, dragged around, and set back down. All looking very realistic. Does anyone think they can accomplish this? Or have you seen this modification anywhere? Thanks ...
