Hi Steve,
It's because the MXML file myApp.mxml is equivalent to a class file.
So what you're really saying is:
myApp.as: (roughly translated from myApp.mxml, omitting imports)
package
{
public class myApp extends Application
{
public var myChart:VBox;
public function myApp()
{
The idea of strongly typed arrays is to catch errors at compile time
that otherwise might crop up at runtime.
Untyped:
var arr:Array=[];
arr.push(new Button());
arr.push(123);
for (var i:int=0;iarr.length;i++)
{
var b:Button=arr[i]; // Works fine when i=0. Runtime error when
The only alternative I can think of is to port your code to haXe,
which is very similar to AS3.
You can compile haXe code to AS3 (or directly to a .swf) and use that

Neko and write to files etc.

As I said, those are intrinsics and native to the Flash Player -

The only thing he _could_ have stripped out is code from the

Paul - having looked at what we're doing in our work setup, one major
difference is this:
Instead of _loading_ the AS2ProxySWF (via Loader), we embed it as an

This may be why our stuff is more robust.

MTASC did, which led to some confusion. That leads some people to
think that AS2 as a language has block level scoping.
AS3 definitely doesn't respect block scopes, and I curse every time I
trip over that 'variable declared
I'd be very careful how you proceed with this, but at the end of the
day it's your own judgement.
It also rather depends on how much of what you've written for the
client is solely for that client - you will never reuse it - or if
you're depending on code libraries you've previously developed and
If this is AS3, this line:
dispatchEvent(A_window.CLOSE);
should at least be something like:
dispatchEvent(new Event(A_window.CLOSE));
dispatchEvent() expects to sent Event objects around (or their
subclasses), not strings.

Eder Fortunato from Brazil suggested setting _lockroot=true on App C.
This solves the problem.

Using MovieClip.getRect
Has anyone got any idea why when I create an instance of an AVM1Movie
(embedded) within an AS3 app, AS2's MovieClip.getBounds() function
returns undefined within the contained movie whereas it works
perfectly well if the AS2 movie is run outside the AS3 app?
Same result with Flex2.01 and Flex3
Hi Eka,
Thanks for that - I'm well aware of the limitations. I'm using
Grant Skinner's SWFBridgeAS2 to talk between the two VMs. The problem
isn't that AS2 code isn't working - the rest of the contained AS2
MovieClip is running correctly, including all scripts. The only
function failing is

Sorry - to be clearer
Stathis,
No, in AS2 you can't duplicate loaded content using
duplicateMovieClip. Your choices are:
- to load each image again, every time you need it (isn't as slow/bad
as it sounds - the cache speeds it up dramatically)
- to duplicate the image by storing/copying loaded images's

Gregory,
The trouble with importing/using/loading Flash 8 SWFs into an AS3-powered
app is that Flash 8 uses the old flash runtime engine (AVM1) and your AS3
app uses the new engine (AVM2) and the two don't talk to each other well.
If you directly embed a Flash 8 SWF like so:
