I was using the serializing approach between Flash and PHP for the longest time before AMFPHP had its 1.0 release (wow...that was a long time ago...in 2006)!

Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg? ...

I'd love to keep all of my javascript loading at the bottom of the page but swfobject seems to fail if it isn't loaded before any divs to be replaced. bare bones example: <div id="flash"></div> <div id="footer"> <script src="/static/default...

I'm an actionscript novice so I hope I'm missing something simple here. In a nutshell, I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last. I have a single...
