Hi all, I just picked-up Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook (O'Reilly) today, and found myself pondering this: Is it time to make the switch from v2 to v3 AS? Third paragraph states: "This book assumes that you have obtained a copy of Flex Builder 2 and have successfully installed it on your compute

That was kind of my point. He thought the issue was with lockroot, and I was trying to say that the issue was probably the fact that the first version of the class is used (which was loaded before the lockroot). Every case that I've run into where the root wasn't preserved by using lockroot was

Hi Ian, sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy. I personally recomend NOT worrying about design patterns and such. Instead, go for a good AS2 book which will, as a matter of course lead you through the principals of good Object Oriented design and development. The principals are truly

Actually using a random string is not a good idea because there is a chance, however small, that it will fail. Using new Date().getTime(), as the OP mentioned (and erroneously called "random"), will work every time (unless, of course, the user resets their clock during the session--and even then y

Hi Brian, I think what you're talking about is a different phenomenon. The Flash Player always uses the _first version_ of any class that it loads. So if your parent movie has a class com.mydomain.SomeClass, and your .swf that loads into your parten movie has a different class com.mydomain.So
