RE: [Flashcoders] Alternate ActionScript-centric Support Mailing Lists

2007-07-02 Thread Merrill, Jason
Well, I unfortunately I can't recommend a good alternatative, but I will
say steer clear of Flash_Actionscript and FLASHmacromedia groups on
Yahoo - it's filled with very very low level newbies or people who only
do animation. So unless you like constantly replying to (or resisting
replying to) people who pull crap like: 

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(37)
_global.Animation34 = "is true"
_global.Animation35 = "is false"
03MovieClip._x = 125;
}

, and then ignore you when you tell them better practices, then avoid
those lists.  Flashnewbies has actually grown to a more intermediate
list and has some more advanced questions here and there.  Someone on
Yahoo FLASHmacromedia, when responde to a post about what actionscript
was used for, actually replied, "don't worry about it,  you only need to
use Actionscript when connecting to databases or creating web site
navigation".  I replied with a ??? please elaborate, that's complete BS,
but never got a response.

The Flexcoders list on Yahoo is really really good though, if it's pure
Actionscript 3, then you can ask on there.

[Flashcoders] Alternate ActionScript-centric Support Mailing Lists

2007-07-01 Thread greg h

Just curious, other than FlashCoders, are there any active
ActionScript-centric support mailing lists?

Recommendations of any good ones would be appreciated  ;-)
