Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Cache in IE FF
Chris/Joe, thanks a bunch, but here is my next question (just curious)...

To do that, all you need is to add the following js to your html file: ...Main.swf?nocache=+(new Date()).getTime() I wrote a tutorial on adding this to the flex html template: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=32F44 This appends a unique number on the end of the file name, tricking the browser into thinking it's getting a new file every time, thus downloading the SWF from the server every time. You can use an equivalent of this technique in ActionScript for loading modules you don't want cached as well.

Well only for air 2.0; which, is pretty useful for the desktop; yet, not so useful for the browser, unless Adobe decides to give us access in the player.

Not really a flash question but who cares...

It's free for the sender, and very very easy to setup in php or any server side language. /yournum...@pcs.rogers.com mailto:yournum...@pcs.rogers.com/ etc... Find out who the local exchange and who # ranges are owned by, and then associate that info in a db with the e-mail ext per carrier; however, this may not work if the consumer ported to a different carrier. In this case just spam all the carriers listed to service that ext. You will get a failed receipt for the ones that don't work, and you will be able to update your records. The system, would have to be looking for failed message receipts, and they may not always be reported; yet, they usually are. Or you could simply ask the user, which carrier they go with and avoid the server load of sending a message to every carrier that services that area code, every time a user wants to send something via sms.

Re: [Flashcoders] building custom libraries and components using FlashDevelop and Flex SDK
Hi Isaac, I've been there too so that's why I decided to drop you al line. You can use a classpath in flashdevelop that gets referenced in every AS3 project; Settings-User Classpath ( never used it though, so test please) You can put a reference there to your own core library. The classes there should be super generic and reusable / extendable. You can extend a basic / hgeneric class from that library (for example AbstractSimpleMenu) within your company project to CompanyXMenu extends AbstractMenu. Within CompanyXMenu only functions that need to change you can override ,or you can add extra functionallity in there. Per project you can create an swc that holds your skin-assets and embed that swc in your FD project (rightclick, add to library). So export te classes from the flash lib by using export for AS and within your FLASH publish settings choose export swc too. Now if you can set up the AbstractMenu as such that it always uses a default skin, unless you apply something new to it. Within CompanyXmenu you can say this.buttonSkin = new CompanyXButtonSkin() (from flashlib). Note that the this.buttonSkin is a setter of the AbstractMenu that you extends. Sorry not to much time and there's a bunch of other and maybe even cleaner ways, just giving some workflow hints, no exact procedures here. Cheers, Latcho Isaac Alves wrote: Hello, I'm giving a try on FlashDevelop with Flex SDK, and a lot of things are new to me . My study background is on Graphic Design, so I know little about programming. One of the reasons I´m migrating to FD it is that I would like to build my own libraries (menus , slideshows, and other stuff) and gain productivity as well as flexibility. For example I´ve been creating animations and menus for a lot of websites, and so far I´m doing it like this: I use a class I´ve made called SimpleMenu (which I copy, paste and make changes for each project) in the FLA file I have a movieclip (which I also copy, paste and make changes for each project) of a menu Item and sometimes also the menuSubItem, if needed. and in the document class of the main .fla file I write something like that: public var menuWhatever:SimpleMenu = new SimpleMenu; // params: path, xPos, yPos, widthOffset, heightOffset, nColumns menuWhatever.createSimpleMenu(String(menuXMLPath), 5, 143, 16, 5, 8); The point is: I feel that copy and pasting code and MovieClips from other projects is not quite the best practice regarding ActionScript. I believe that I could do this kind of stuff in a more efficient and organized way by building my own components (SWC files? ) and associating them to classes, and so on, but I have many doubts and feel kind of lost and a little overwhelmed. I would like to get some advices and tips on how to build my own libraries and components, taking as start point this way of getting things done that I-ve briefly described...
