It's the legal issue -- this implies risk where other options don't.
Personally I love AMFPHP and have never observed it blowing up; it's
far faster than ColdFusion remoting in my experience. Legal issues
aside, I'd go with it for enterprise-scale projects.

I apologize if this has been covered, but can someone tell me how to
make the Flash IDE preview window launch fullscreen? I have
dynamically-scaling apps I need to test without causing a resize event
to trigger by making the damn window larger. This is killing me!
Thanks in advance,

Pumping the object and embed tags into a DIV's innerHTML using AJAX is one
possibility. You could also write the object and embed tags with an
external JavaScript. This would prevent the source from being viewed and is
probably an easier option given its all on the client.
It's impossible to com
Nothing in particular - just a style of naming vars. I don't do it
because it looks too much like PHP and I get disoriented.
I recall seeing this technique used to distinguish public from private
vars, but I think it went out of favor when AS2 came out.

In the past I've simulated anchors with a ScrollPane using its
vPosition property and duplicated clips inside the ScrollPane.
However I agree it would be nice if TextArea had the ability to
anchor.
You could use asfunction to control the textArea's vPosition based on
a variable you pass in. The

I'd look into LocalConnection. It sounds like you're trying to figure
out how to avoid dependencies between objects, which (to me) makes
sense. Rather than over-design and make things work in a complicated
way, you can use LocalConnection to init your child clips from your
controller:

If you're using the timeline, try adding this actionscript to a keyframe at

You'll quickly get into framework-building, something that can delay your
project. Why not use an existing open source framework like ARP?

I've gone the route of employing MVC in every aspect of my architectures,
then I discovered the command pattern, which ARP uses.

There is really no difference between FAMES and FlexBuilder 2 in terms of
IDE. That's why I said it was probably a good idea for Brent to continue
using FAME, but not consider doing so

Right now from what I know it isn't possible to save a Library from the IDE,
but if I were to venture a guess I'd say this would be possible using JSFL.
If so, a resulting XML and SWC would make sense.

Agreed. Quite selfishly, I'd like the following to happen: Blaze joins the

That makes sense Robert.
In the same line of thinking, as the Flex stuff evolves, I see the Flash IDE

This isn't the case in Flash 8:

Works fine.
Also, I wouldn't name any of my variables 'target' or 'url' since

Why don't you create a new mc behind image_holder, draw a rectangle in it
and apply the DropShadowFilter to it?
Better yet, create one mc specifically for the DropShadowFilter and
duplicate it.
