We develop applications for the Flash platform, which have LOTS of run-time loaded assets (graphics, data, audio, code-libraries, etc.) Those assets are logically organized within project folders.

I figured I would just use HttpService and use the HEAD method, but it seems that this is only available when you set ...
I am struggling with an air flex application. Whenever I click ALT+something, vista makes a sound. I suspect that it is connected with non-existing menu bar.
