I'm working on a project in Flash CS4/AS3 and I have a document class set up but I am wondering about using that, as opposed to frame-based scripting. Most of what I have seen so far deals with how to create them, but doesn't offer much about why or when to use them. I know I can also pull in other classes beyond the document class but,...

Hello, I am using Adobe Flash CS4. I want to upload the flash i've created to YouTube, but I see they accept FLV files format.

Having a bit of a problem creating an instance of an object. Bear in mind that this is timeline based and NOT an external class… var foo:Object { var a:String; var b:String; } var new_foo:Object; function makeFoo():void { new_foo = new foo(); } function doStuff(e:MouseEvent):void { makeFoo(); } Everything runs fine ...

Hi! A good friend recommended this site to me, it looks really useful! I'm a bit of a shameless noob at actionscript and after 3 days of tutorials and advice I've hit a brick wall. I've managed to get a sensor attached to an arduino talking to flash using something called AS3glue. it works, when i set up a trace("leaf") for the contitio...
