It stops listening for onkeyup events (it st...
I have several (20-30) Flash files that I need to migrate from AS2 to AS3. The biggest issue that I'm having is that it's extremely tedious to go through all the code and change the places where the code is on the buttons to an event handler model. I'm not hopeful, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any tricks or tools to quickly ch...

By default Google Maps Flash API cancels bubbling of all MouseEvents that occur over their Markers (dragable at least). However in MapMouseEvent constructor I see that it has a parameter "bubbles?" so I guess they can be made to bubble mouse events?
