through this exact thing.

Flash Player is single threaded... which is why there isn't a "sleep"

application would just freeze. And that's not what you want.

Hey Allandt,
I posted a while ago on my blog about Flash vs Flex in regards to widget
development.
http://blog.natebeck.net/2009/01/widget-development-on-the-flash-platform/
It's not a
comprehensive list of pros and cons for each... but it might give you
some ideas.

Why would they need to put in an rename function if they already have a move
method..? They do the same thing.

Ah, now it makes sense, I was just unable to figure out where you would use
a projector in place of an AIR app now-a-days. But that makes total sense.

Just out of curiosity... Why are you deploying your application as a
stand-alone projector when you could deploy it as an Adobe AIR application?

Option 3!
Always opt to use event based architecture. It promotes loose coupling of
your components. Although it might be a bit more code, you will be able to
use BouncingBall within many games, or other applications.

It was my understanding that Garbage Collection doesn't always occur right
away. When you have orphaned objects sitting on the heap, they are *
eligible* for garbage collection. That doesn't mean they will be removed
from memory right away. Especially if you're testing for JUST that to
happen.

It's okay... at least it's not as bad as when the CEO of the startup I

You need a way to parse out the data so that you can choose which lines to
draw. Degrafa is an excellent way to go. http://www.degrafa.org/

Hey Patrick,
I've run into the exact same issue that you have. Actionscript doesn't
support overloaded methods or constructors at this time, although there is
talk that they are going to add that support at some point in the future.

Without getting too technical, you don't want to use timers move things.
You want to use frames instead of timers. Save yourself some headache and
don't use timers for movement. (unless you're using them to invalidate
properties and such, but that's a more complex topic)
