[flexcoders] Lua Alchemy v0.1a Released
Lua Alchemy is a port of the Lua programming language for ActionScript using Alchemy. Using v0.1a inside Flash/Flex you can create any ActionScript class available at runtime, call functions, get/set properties on ActionScript objects and use Lua functions as an ActionScript function (including event listeners). The project can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/lua-alchemy/ A demo can be found here: http://www.arcanearcade.com/Flex/LuaAlchemyDemoV.1a/index.html The next version will include syntax sugar so instead of calling as3.call(var, function, param) you could call var.function(param) and similar calls to make calling ActionScript code look the same as calling Lua code.

Re: [flexcoders] Strategies for reducing size of Flex SWF?
You can link the Flex framework as a runtime shared library (RSL). This creates a framework_xxx.swf and .swz file that contain the entire flex framework instead of including the components you use in your application. You application becomes smaller but the framework is pretty big. The advantage is flash players cache the framework so once someone loads that version of the framework, they never need it again. In Flex Builder you change the framework linkage to RSL in the Flex Builder Path | Library Path properties of the project. http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/01/flex-3-framework-caching.php http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:Flex_3_RSLs#How_to_use_the_Flex_Framework_as_an_RSL On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 1:18 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm building simple apps in Flex as I'm quite comfortable with the development environment compared with Flash.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash CS3 Component Creation
For dynamic libraries check out modules mx.modules.Module, mx.modules.ModuleBase, mx.modules.ModuleLoader, mx.modules.ModuleManager.

Re: [flexcoders] GIS and Flex
You can use the ESRI, yahoo, mapquest, google, etc map APIs. You can also read the ArcView Shape files and associated DBF files using this library and create your own components. http://code.google.com/p/vanrijkom-flashlibs/ I started with that library to create a heat-map component using maps. The problem with embedding or even downloading ArcView shape files is their size - even the US is over a meg. The problem is that shape files just store points and there are a great number of points. You can reduce the size by storing in your own format (a fixed width integer is half the size of a floating point number). I did that plus ran some map simplification algorithms to reduce the number of points and ended up getting even a world map down to under 100K. Sadly I cannot share the code (it was done for hire).

Re: [flexcoders] Help with RegEx
For functions use a regular expression like: function[\s\S]*{[\s\S]*}

newlines), followed by {, followed by zero or more of any character

For classes replace function with class above.

http://www.regexbuddy.com/
(I am in no way affiliated with the company, just like the product).
I tested the function expression in that tool for JavaScript and it seemed
to work even when nesting.
What it wouldn't help you with is if you nested functions within functions
(like when declaring a function object). But I don't have time to fiddle
