I'm looking for a direct way for server-side code to access a flash shared object. Obviously you can write some javascript that can read flash shared objects via ExternalInterface. But doing that requires a client code execution, and then a push of the shared object data back to the server-side code. This seems rather complicated. So is...

I have installed RED5 flash server and 12 hours after installing it, I still cannot serve a simple MP3 file.

When I play a video in Flash, fist, it starts buffering and then, when the buffer is full, it plays. While the buffer is filling, the associated Video object automatically displays the fist video frame. Is there a way to receive a notification when this frame is available ?

I have been using Uploadify in my PHP application for the last couple months, and I've been trying to track down an elusive bug. I receive emails when fatal errors occur, and they provide me a good amount of details. I've received dozens of them. I have not, however, been able to reproduce the problem myself. Some users (like myself) exp...

Although I could easily take a bunch of 3D planes and tween them to turn and flip, these cards actually seemed to 'bend'. How is this...

Hi, I'm working on an AIR project using Flash Builder. There's a couple of component that I could see would be easy to generate using Flash Catalyst. I can't see any way to export a Flex component/library (SWC) of some UI elements from Flash Catalyst. All I can see is that I can export an entire project from there and import it as a...
Not sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pr...
How can I set my countdown correctly? I'm counting from 33,000.00 to zero. It works in a fashion, but the minus operator appears in the textfield. //Countdown from 33,000.00 to zero var timer:Timer = new Timer(10); var count:int = -3300000; var fcount:int = 0; timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementCounter); timer.star...
