[Flashcoders] Passing params via url instead of FlashVars

If you're using swfobject, as I believe they have a getQueryParamValue("variable1") method. var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699"); so.addVariable("variable1", getQueryParamValue("variable1")); so.addVariable("variable2", getQueryParamValue("variable2"))

I'm certainly no expert but as I understand it, an interface is a class that is only good for inheriting, never instantiating. For example - if you were going to write two classes - Baseball and Softball, you would want a parent class Ball. However, you won't ever instantiate a Ball, you'll always

Interfaces have nothing to do with inheritance (at least not directly) as I understand them. Interfaces are special classes that simply define what other classes must define. A class that implements an interface has to define the methods and properties defined in an interface. An interface is no

Focusing on the "contract" part always seemed to me a bit misleading about what interfaces are, from a developer point of view. I mean, I understand that using an interface will make the compiler force you to "implement" some method, with some given signature, and I see the value in it, especially

Absolutely not - I've never heard of (or experienced) any problems with intervals and TweenMax. I can't imagine anything TweenMax-related that would cause the problems you described.
