Hi Guys,
I'm finally making the painful transition from AS2 to AS3. I am having
difficult time getting javascript to send vars to AS3. I've pasted my
AS and JS below. Can anyone tell if I am doing something wrong? I
tried to follow every tutorial I googled but I just can't seem to make
Just wanted to let everyone know I just launched a major release of my

To put a practical question out about this. I'm setting up something that is
more or less a game with levels. Each level has a different set of
movieclips as its background graphics and enemies for the level.
I store all assets for a single level in an external swf, and using

dear Jonathan,
and what if Adobe fixes this in a near future? Your code would be broken...
So, I don't think is a good idea to write code that needs this feature of
Flash Player.

Well, the alternative that I suggested at the end would be to just keep
track of the swfs that I had loaded and not go through the steps of
attempting to unload them described in previous posts. So, it would only be
broken after the bug fix in the sense that I could ideally be releasing
I think any kind of fix they implement now would have to have some
level of backwards-compatibility. Like passing a boolean which
indicates whether you want to fully unload the movie or not. It's
been too long without a fix for that in my opinion.

hmm, as in:
myMovie.unload (false);
which would then be documented as:
Unload unloads your movie except when false is passed
Feels...wrong somehow;)

Hey!
I'm trying to reduce SWF file size to the minimum.
The problem that bothers is a large amount of unused code exported to the
SWF.
If I use a class, all the code from the class is exported.
Even if a single method with an empty body is used, the class is exported
completely.
I use Action
Hi,
You can use FlashDevelop (Windows) to create intrinsic classes -
stub code that will allow you to compile a SWF without using the classes
(which go in a library).
I think there is a separate program called Igen which generates
these intrinsic classes for you from existing files so
hmmm, that's not so bad... I'm kinda partial to:
myMovie.forceUnload()
or
myMovie.noSeriouslyUnload()
Although this also has it's own sort of personal charm:

also, have you put text in p_1 already? Because the order that Flash wants
is you setTextFormat on the text field, and then you put the text in it.

Really? I thought it was the other way around - put text in, then set

Every SWF to be loaded would need an instance of that custom class and
register its events, etc. with it so a method could be called on it to blow
it up.
I think.
Seems like it would be a pretty monstrous booger to do and implement.

You can't but you can use a 3rd party decompiler like ASV or
SWFDecompiler. ASV is working on an AS3 version, not sure if Eltima are.
For me ASV is the better one for looking at ActionScript, but I have
found it easier to export assets with the SWFDecompiler
You can use BulkLoader to catch your downloaded asset:

Hi Jiri,
I believe it is due to the default lock type. The default lock type (DEFERRED)

And since a CREATE is technically neither a data read or data write, but

Hi,
It is the other way around. setTextFormat is for formatting text currently in
the textfield (optionally text in the textfield within a certain range), and
setNewTextFormat is for text prepended to the current contents of the textfield
(either prepended by script or by the user in case of

Morten, i just burst my own bubble. It appears not to be working after all.
It seems the line Sql_conn.openAsync( Sql_db ) in the build() method is

Do you have any other suggestions?

I'm in the process of switching some of my apps over to AS3, with one class

When porting from AS2, you might find it more direct to use

Because when adding listeners you are implying asynchronous mode.
In other words, as soon as you add listeners, you have to use openAsync().
I've found the use of synchronous mode to be alot easier.

Hi,
The TileSet class will split up a bitmap into square tiles for you -
look at the convertBitmapTiles function.
It also has a loadTiles function which does all this for you.
Have a look at the SpaceMap demo - which uses the TileMap, TileSet
the dragging stuff.
