Sorry to ask a Flex question here but I'm sure one of you knows the answer or at least can point me to the place I can find the answer. I am using Flex builder to build a pure AS project. I have been using the 3.0 sdk without a problem. When I updated the SDK to in order to build a Flash 10 projec

The term vector is also commonly used in GIS/GPS data to define point-to-point line definitions of sampled areas - the connecting lines or arcs between the beginning and end points. Coming from a GIS background, that was the first thing I thought of when I heard of the new Vector array. I thought

Well with regards to the monitor position, I have always thought that the bottom left corner should be 0,0 just as in the Cartesian coordinate system so that increasing numbers go to the right and up on the screen. It makes graphic mathematical equations so much easier. -Original Message

To quote a comment: "It's called a vector because Alex Stepanov, the designer of the Standard Template Library, was looking for a name to distinguish it from built-in arrays. He admits now that he made a mistake, because mathematics already uses the term 'vector' for a fixed-length set of nu

It's probably a Java thing - Java has really annoying typed arrays called Vector too - seems that there should be a big argument whether the mathematical definition of vector should overrule the computer science definition based on age, but then we would all have to reset our screens because 0,

I think it is really stupid, and bothersome as hell with regard to code completion when working with the vector3d class. Just had to vent. Can anyone tell my why? vector is usually a point, combination, or an attack method in my books. ___ Flashcod

I know this is a few days old, but I have some input. I have seen something similar to this with AS2. Using the WebServices class, when you make a method call on a web service object, you create a pending call object, and one of the properties of the pendingCall class was doLazyDecoding. What this

Hi Weyert, No I didn't. I wasn't aware you could. I assume that the default is therefore not to enable them. Only one way to find out I guess. Many thanks Paul -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behal
