Do we work in the same team? : )
I second the question. The team I am on is trying to solve the same
types of issues. What I've dug up so far has led to the following
conclusions:
- There are [too] many ways to deal with fonts, text, and styles in
Flash/Flex. The list is
of the Flex libraries. In fact, I'm confused as to which libraries
are and are not available by default in CS3, since components
themselves use things like UIComponent, which is documented as part of
Flex.
Thanks for any help!

Caveat: I believe there has been some progress recently on the use of
Flex components created as .swcs for use within Flash CS4. You'll
probably need to look on Adobe Labs for more info on that.
Other than that,
I'm new to the FLVPlayback component so sorry if these are trivial

doesn't scale the controls when resized. Do I need to explicitly do some

Um. I think we'd need to see more code. For instance, wht is resultTemp

Although, this:
allTextData[id].[0] = resultTemp;
is bad syntax. Should be:
allTextData][id][0] = resultTemp;
Also make sure you actually create new Array objects before assigning to

Respond to a mouseMoved event, track the last mouse position, draw a stroke
from that point to the new point (using the MovieClip drawing API), save the
old point in an array, update lastX and lastY to this point, repeat. When
done, you have an array of the points use to make the drawing. Capture
I didn't get any repsonses with my earlier post. Here's a shorter version.
Is anyone using embedded event sounds in ActionScript 3?
The published docs do not make clear how one is supposed to replace
attachSound(), as they only give a Flex example, which in itself is
screwy in that it requires

I get a blank page. I have scripting turned off by default (using NoScript
extension with Firefox).
When turning scripting on, my first question is: how are the classes

code block, or what? I guess in general, how is it

Check out the BitmapData class, specifically the static loadBitmap(id)
method for creating an instance from a library symbol, and getPixel() which
allows checking individual pixel values.
I would think an algorithm that would work would be to iterate through the
display list, do hitTest() on
Also, just looking this up made me notice that as of Flash 8, you can do
pixel-level hit detection between not only a bitmap and a point, but 2
bitmaps, with alpha threshold support!

My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with
any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it
enters the clip.
Oh right, sorry. So I wonder if it is possible to override this by
definining an onMouseOver and changing the cursor to the default one?
If I were looking for the super-ideal correct algorithm and hade infinite

I was just perusing the Flex/Flash API docs online, and noticed some
changes in AS 3 to the Sound class which alarm me. An application I am
working on now has essentially a simple wavetable synth, which has a
lot of assets named by note (e.g. c#4), and at runtime instantiates
a bunch of Sound
It's possible you are getting confused in further details about event
handling. There is some invisible stuff happening here that goes
beyond just understanding classes and objects. Buttons and MovieClips
are registered listeners of mouse events automatically. What this
means is that an event

I'm having some weird behavior. The short version is, when I edit one
