Adding many images to HBox causes display problems in Flex

In Flex, I'm using an HBox to hold thumbnails. When more thumbnails are added than can be shown, the HBox becomes scrollable. When I add more than, say, 80 images, when I scroll back to the first image, the images begin "tearing", until I hover my mouse over them. This is how it looks when few images are added: When many images are ...

Debugging flash with gdb-mode in emacs

I'm trying to debug a swf using fdb, the flash debugger that comes with the flex SDK, on Linux. Debugging from a terminal works, but if I do it from within Emacs by doing M-x gdb fdb -f myswf.swf RET fdb seems to hang as soon as I issue any commands (e.g "help" or "c").

However, converting all of the 300+ symbols to AS3 or whatever is undoable. What are my options in converting to AS3/Flex/MXML? The app is very simple, o...

Flex: extract data from a Tree control

So Flex provides great APIs for user-manipulation of its data-fed controls, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the data back out of the control once the user is done playing with it.
