Is there a way to move a row in an AdvancedDataGrid in response to an external event? In this case, I'd like to have a toolbar button that moves an item or items selected in the grid either up or down. The problem as I see it is keeping the hierarchical data source in sync with the array of item renderers and selection data on the grid...
I am looking for an app or apps which I can use to demonstrate many of the specific graphics, animation, and interaction capabilities available using Flash CS4 Pro. Basically something just like the Tour de Flex app only for Flash CS3/CS4 Pro. The Adobe site has a sparse set of some examples, but again I am looking for something more co...
I'm fairly proficient with HTML/Javascript/CSS. It's my understanding that I can write an Adobe Air application using just those technologies. Let's assume I want to convert one of my webapps to an Adobe Air application, but this web app uses a 3rd party Flash component. Can I embed this 3rd party flash component into my Adobe Air applic...
Could someone expand and clarify the different logical instantiations of objects in actionscript? So far it seems there are 3 layers of instantiations, for lack of a better term. The first one is declaring a variable/type. Next is instantiating that variable with something solid in the code, like a method or function? Is this jus...

Would like to show a flash video in a layer popup (a layer rests above the current page, darkens the background and shows the video front and center) that is compatible with all major browsers (Opera, FF3.x, IE6,7 and 8) Is there any code that can do this? ...
If my understanding of Flex is correct, skins in Flex are just DisplayObjects that are added as children to UIComponents to create the visual representation of the object. But if my understanding of the Flash event model is correct, if there is a non-transparent DisplayObject on top of another, mouse events will go to the topmost Display...
Hi! I recently started a new job working on a content management system. One of the jobs was to implement url rewriting, which i've done, but for some reason the URL rewriting has killed the ability to play flv files through FLVPlayer_Progressive. An example can be seen below: Working if you then follow the link on the menu and go to ...

What is the most impressive "rich internet application" - which is usually Javascript/Flash/Silverlight - that you have experienced? I find Google maps is like Javascript/Flash voodoo and more specifically Google Streeview wins hands down. But I'm interested to know others. ...

So the easiest way to preload in as3 would be to use an external .swf to load the main .swf. Since I will be distributing my game around the internet I can only use one .swf. What would be the best way to do this? Can I still use the external method but somehow combine the finished product into one .swf? ...
If I have rolled my own RSL, and I want to use it in my pure as3 apps, is there documentation or an example of how to do this? Or do I need to traverse the flex source code to figure out what adobe's engineers have done? ...
I'm trying to understand how this piece of code from Keith Peter's Advanced Actionscript works. Essentially there's a for loop going on to split key/value pairs seperated by :. Here's the code: var definition:Object = new Object(); for(var i = 0;i < tokens.length; i++) { var key:String = tokens[i].split(":")[0]; var val:String...
I'm working with a flash application that runs as a standalone executable by way of the File -> Create Projector... option on the standalone Adobe Flash Player. I've noticed that it's pretty well-behaved, with a modest memory footprint and reasonable CPU demands, even when it's struggling with something difficult to render or animate fo...

Hey guys, I am using the cool map making program DIY map and i want to keep my points as images. However, you can only set .swfs and jpgs as image points. The author of the program says quote: Unfortunately, Flash can not load GIF’s or PNG’s dynamically, but you can embed these into an SWF. PNG’s embedded into an SWF will also displ...
I'd like to connect a Flash Player instance (AMF3) to a Java LocalConnection. I know how to implement the AMF3 spec, since I've done a lot of work with Red5, but I'm unsure how to navigate building the actual LocalConnection interface. There is C code provided here, but I can't speak C to save my life. Does anyone know of a Java implemen...
