I am building a desktop Air app (PC and Mac) that requires downloading a list of media files (10-20 average) that will be fairly large (10-50MB each). The files do not need streamed playback, it is...

Well, CS4 and CS5 each have their own compilers so can't expect them to behave identically, especially under extreme conditions... I have noticed in general, for large projects where it is noticable,...

Well, now I think about it, guess it is because Array is (still) a dynamic class where Vector is not.

var array:Array = new Array();
trace( array.foo ); //no compile error here

var...

No, I don't know the limit. Try dividing your array into several push statements. Is there a requirement for your project that needs the data compiled with the swf? Can you use an external...

php or asp or jsp or whatever, the client-side flash code should be identical. If your response is coming back wrapped in an html body then you probably need to set the content type of the response...

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type __AS3__.vec:Vector.<Foo> to an unrelated type Array.

Really? Doesn't Vector include all the properties, methods and signatures of Array? Is there some...

Do you have any extremely long lines of code? I am pretty certain there is a character limit the length of a statement.

Gianduia, I had that once. Went to the doctor, got some pills and it cleared right up.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Webobjects, which appears to be a major component of the framework, is not free...

Sure, no prob. I have to make a correction though. If an enterFrame listener uses a weakReference it is not garbage collected as is normally the case. If the enterFrame listener is explicitly removed...

For something like particles, I would not put a listener on every particle. It would not be very efficient and wastes memory when you could accomplish the same with one listener and an array. The...

The enterFrame event is a weird one, it does not seem to follow the normal garbage collection rules. I generally use a timer instead of enterFrame when possible.

If you have to use enterFrame...

You need to create a reference to the literal Class to construct:

var starClass:Class = Star;
var star:Star = new starClass();

If all you have is the class name as a string, then you have to...

Sorry about that, the hazards of writing code you can't actually compile. Yes I meant:
var player:Player = gameObjectArray[ i ] as Player;

Explicit casting is a better idea when dealing with an...

When deleting from an array, go in reverse to avoid indexes that have shifted:

for( var i:int = gameObjectArray.length -1; i > -1; i-- ){
var player:Player = gameObjectArray as Player;...

You should wrap indented code in code, php or as tags so people can better read it:

yellow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,explosion);

function explosion(e:MouseEvent):void {...

I did consider using a generic DisplayObjectContainer instead of stage, but since the tooltip x/y positioning requires access to stage.stageWidth/stage.stageHeight I wanted to avoid null stage...

I didn't want to hijack the OP's thread so I started a new one:

Ok, here's an example of using the stage directly for a static (singleton for slackers) TootlTipManager class. The short story is ToolTipManager checks every MOUSE_OVER event target to see if it...

Out of curiosity, can you elaborate on this? Personally I use stage listeners frequently for singleton type interactivity (i.e tooltips, text input) or for communication between separate branches of...

Since URLVariables is a dynamic object, you can iterate over its properties with a for-in loop, you dont need to know the length.

var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables( loader.data );
for( var...

Since you are setting the stage.align when entering fullscreen you need to set stage.align back to whatever it was when exiting fullscreen. I think stage.align = "" will set it to the defualt center...

The path should be just "test.bat", the fscommand folder is the root. Also, it will not work when testing the movie in Flash, only from the projector.

If you are publishing a projector, you can use fscommand( "exec", "file_to_execute.bat" ). The file must be in a subfoleder named fscommand. It is not possible with a swf in a browser.
