I am trying to write something in my Flex 3 application with actionscript that will take an image and when a user clicks a button, it will strip out all the white(ish) pixels and convert them to transparent, I say white(ish) because I have tried exactly white, but I get a lot of artifacts around the edges. I have gotten somewhat close us...

I have to add * Required to a ton of screens in Flex. In some places, I can't use more than one label. I need the asterisk to be as big as the text. The only idea I could come up with was: .required:first-letter { font-size:30; } Doesn't seem to work. Are pseuedo-selectors not implemented in Flex? ...

This would be an easy question for Google, but it is co...

What I would like to do is capture an object that's in memory to disk for testing purposes. Since it takes many steps to get to this state, I would like to capture it once and skip the steps. I realize that I could mock these objects up manually but I'd rather "record" and "replay" real objects because I think this would be faster. Edi...
I'm write a Air application that consumes a beta webservice API. Sometimes this APIreturns me a malformed XML node and actionscript will raise an error when I try creating the XML object out of it.

I have a flash application (pure AS, no Flex framework) that I'd like to embed inside of a flex application using SWFLoader. Embedding one instance works well.
