Agreed.
By converting from vectored to rastered art for some of our complex
components we tripled the frame rate in Flash.
At the same time, we converted our character from 6MB to 42KB by converting
it from a sprite sheet into animated components in Flash, but it took the
artist quite a while! (s

good they are at maintaining backwards compatibility.

Different frameworks have different tweaks to the conventions. It's usually
best to have a specific framework in mind when working on this.

We are building a full screen game with a novel interface and we need the

My primary concern is not seeing any mention of Alchemy's successor on the
Roadmap as we are hanging out for it's features.

We work with two MVC frameworks: RobotLegs in Flash and RubyonRails on the
server.
RubyonRails mandates a "thin controller fat model" paradigm and we try to
user that in Flash as well.
Under this paradigm, wherever possible, things should be in the model. One
good reason for doing this is code re

I'm working on a game with some large images (up to 4k x 4k)
The pngs with alpha channels come out at 5-10MB each and we need to put a
few large ones and many smaller ones in the game.
jpeg-xr would do the job, but we are targetting Flash 10

Our server is rails. Getting flash to talk to it direct results in a lot
of pain as the responses sometimes come back with non 200 status codes, so
most browsers will refuse to pass content through to flash.
I think the simplest solution is to make JavaScript an intermediary.
We looked into inte
That'll do the trick, I was wondering whether there was a framework or
paradigm for dealing with this as it things scale.
The app we're building is quite large and we need to keep it maintainable.
We work on RobotLegs, so I suppose some of this would fit into the
services section, but other parts

This will probable be inconsistent across browsers and operating systems,

Pretty sure you can only do network access from local apps with air.
Adding trusted will just be ignored by the flash player, it'll
(silently) refuse to attempt network connections with anything that
didn't originate from the web. And vice versa with manipulating local

Looked into this a while ago. Bottom line was you can never guarantee
an unload, so repeated load/unload always have the potential for
memory leaks.
In the case of Flex apps it was never possible to completely clear
them from memory.
Our solution was to load other swfs in another window, though I
