Re: [Flashcoders] Flash is a single-threaded app? Maybe it's just the AVM? or...

This is correct. There are certainly multiple threads in the flash player. But The AVM does not allow applications to spawn threads directly. However things like sound and video and probably other things execute in separate threads. I am not familiar with the flash source but it is likely that asyn

Here is something more for you to chew on: If you assign say an onLoad method to an object, and don't delete the onLoad before you delete the object, the onLoad method is orphaned and since the reference to the object is gone, it does not get cleaned up by the garbage collector, and remains in mem

RE: [Flashcoders] Disabling Buttons / Actions - FLASH 6

Jay, If I understand you correctly, clipA is not intended to be clickable and you want to block any incidental/experimental clicks on the part of users. Ironically you need to give clipA a button behavior in order for it to 'intercept' clicks thereby shielding clipB. //turn off hand cursor

Of course you want to retain a synchronous relationship (much faster than LocalConnection). I'm not sure if this UI object you create is a singleton but the best way to handle this situation is to use it's class to hold a static pointer to the instance. for example class UI { private static
