Embed unknown file formats
Using the Embed tag, we can embed in the swf file not only swf's or jpg's etc, but also unsupported file formats like: Embed[(source="mzip.zip", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] public static MyZip:Class; When i instantiate such a class, what type of object do i get?

compile .swf from .as file that defines a sprite
Someone else wrote and gave me an ActionScript source file that defines a subclass of Sprite. I am told that I need to, from this, generate a .swf file whose behavior is entirely defined by that one sprite. In other words, when the "movie" starts, one instance of that Sprite subclass should be created and set running, and it should kee...

ActionScript 3: maintaining textarea UIscrollbar position on loss of focus in flash embed.
I'm using Flash CS4. Everything functions as it should when CS4 previews the swf after compiling it. However, after embedding the flash item in a webpage, if the textArea loses focus within the flash piece, the textarea's built-in UIscrollbar resets to the very top. Here's the kicker: if I add a FOCUS_OUT event listener to the textAre...

Variables from URL are loaded in random order
I'm have an issue loading URL variables into Flash where the variables are loading in random order each time the SWF is loaded. The way the variables are: var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3 but because it's loaded in a random order, the first variable will sometimes get omitted because of the way the & are placed. Here's the AS I'm...

Creating a custom progress bar in flash? (not a preloader)
I need a progress bar that's kind of in an odd shape, I've attached an image. It's not a preloader; it's for periodic progress while the user is performing other action on the website. I've played and played with tweens from a symbol of a fill of the bar to no avail. I'm not great at flash, so apparently even this simple thing is a stumb...
