I don't think this will work. The while loop is never going to be started until after the unzip function has returned success or failure anyway, right? Although, I could see this working if the...

Hi folks,

It's been a while since I messed with PHP (or really any server-side scripting), so I'm a bit stumped here.

I have a situation where Rackspace has some "load balancer" running that...

Wondering if anyone thinks it worthwhile or a good compromise to detect the IE6 user and just give them a one-liner across screen top that says something like "this is why our site looks terrible to...

my bad frets. thanks.

so you'd simply let the numbers fly and start negotiating? if i have to drop the number first, i thought about adding up the amount i'd likely bill them for doing, say, 3 large...

Hi folks,

Wondered if you guys had thoughts on what source code for a project is worth?

I've created and written a custom world map featuring pop-ups with links over select countries, zooming,...

Oops just realize I wrote "LessonFrameContent" a few times when I meant to write "LessonFrameStatus". But anyway, would Flash have written a LessonFrameStatus class to the default package...

Getting this Error:

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type lessonframe:LessonFrameStatus to a possibly unrelated type LessonFrameStatus.

No idea why.

In the LessonFrameStatus...

hmm. but how would sending super a parameter affect any methods that were inherited by my class?

and just a follow-up: i got this thing working by using the methods for developing Flex components outlined in a great article here:
...

i don't have any reason to pass anything to the UIMovieClip constructor that i know of. the only reason i included the constructor in the code at all was to call the init() method, but if you're...

Hi folks,

I have this function that fires upon clicks in a particular area of a component I've created:


private function dispatchDragEvent(e:MouseEvent):void
{
switch (_targetType)...

OK, so this setup seems to be behaving MUCH better. One last question--maybe you've run across this and can unconfuse me:

I plop an instance of my component on the stage and Run the app. I get...

nice, thanks for the tips, gerbick. downloading Flash Builder 4 now. i also didn't realize there was a CS4 version of the SWC component extension for Flash, too.

going to give all this a shot.

Math.random() returns a number of random value between 0 and 1. So if you want to place something randomly, just set it's x and y values to the container's width multiplied by Math.random() and the...

Correction, for some reason I was able to get the component to appear once in the Components panel, but it no longer does so. Components I export from CS4 are once again crashing Flex...

wait, OK it is basically working now. when i selected to export to FP9 in Flash and then used the 3.2 SDK in Flex I get functional SWC's. thanks for suggesting checking in that area!

can you elaborate on "it being merged into code?" what does that mean exactly?

targeting FP9 doesn't seem to change anything, unfortunately.

Hi folks,

I cannot seem to accomplish what I thought would be a trivial task. I installed the SWC commands extension for CS3/CS4 and I am using it exactly as prescribed to create SWC files. When...

You can use the Loader class, which is designed to be used to load media files, as you need:

OK, I'm freaking a bit here. I've committed to building this branded, simple quiz for a client, and I've got the basic functionality running now in an un-designed shell UI. The app is just a landing...

So a simple, silly answer to my problem here: I needed to add a 'target' attribute to my Fade effect so that it knew which object to apply the effect to...

Hi folks,

I'm building my first Flex app, which is a typical simple quiz. Intro state, string of questions, then a result.

I'm stuck right now in that my transitions are not running. I suspect...

ok, i got an answer over at the adobe forums. turns out you must have an FLVPlayback component in the library to access fl.video don't know why, but that is the deal apparently...

ok, this is nuts. i did a totally clean, from scratch install after a uninstall and run of adobe's cleanscript, and the compiler STILL can't find the video package classes.

am i nuts?
