I've been steadfastly ignoring all the talk about AS3 since I don't like to publish in a flash player until it's been around for 8 to 10 months. Now though I have an app to write and all the talk about the preformance increase has got me wondering if I don't have to make the move to AS3. The app i

I've been doing some testing with sharded fonts lately because they are a key part of a project I'm working on right now. So far, here's what I've learned by searching the FlashCoders archive and reading blog posts. Shared fonts are a mess to work with. But, as of Flash Player 6.0.65.0, it's not
