that one could certainly be a little less cryptic. Have you seen the

Hi all,
I am having a very odd issue with a class I made. What happens is that one
of a private variables declare in that class get overwritten when there's
more than 1 instance of that class. It seems that this var someObject is
common to all instances of the class. Which defites the purpose of

without the gun. I think people have a
As2 compiles classes down to prototypes. So feature-wise and speed-wise it's
the same thing for the player.
Prototype allows slightly better tuning of your code (when to put this
when not, how to name the getter/setter etc.) but it has little practical
benefit.
You can still mix prototype
I have never really got around to learning AS2 and tend to program
everything in AS1 - tutt tutt!!

Hi list,
is there anyway to prevent a change in the rowselection of a datagrid?
Or to detect the row that was selected before the row that is selected
after the change event?

- alter textfields
- click row 2
now before the click on
Well actually there's some difference in learning AS2 with, say, flash mx
2004 and learning it with flash 8. Not that the language is any different,
but the API of flash 8 can be a bit more overwhelming (it's API is more OOP
orientated than that of 2004), so perhaps start going through the stuff

In the MX'04 combobox component, is it possible to change font

This may be a little late to this conversation but I'd have to disagree.
I would learn AS3 and skip AS2. You can only learn and experiment with
AS3 in Flex Builder 2 (as far as i know) since Flash Authoring (the next
version of Flash) is not out yet.
Looking at the specs and transitions from

Hi Steve,
I'm actually just starting out my research into how to use Flash 8's
embedded cuepoints to handle closed captioning. Needless to say,
documentation is rather weak right now.
Below is my working code for displaying the captions that I embedded
in the FLV file using the Flash 8
Hmm now I am confused:)
Well as I work in the Flash IDE 100% mainly on games and CDROMs etc and the
next version of Flash supporting AS3 is a long way off, I think I will go
for the AS2 anyway. May as well read the book after reading it and as
someone else pointed out, there are no books for AS3
Having read over AS2.0 and AS3.0 migration...

fair amount of time in AS2.0 only to find out that to take advantage of

- you do not have a timeline in AS3+flex2
Just to avoid confusion AS3 still fully supports the timeline, and if you
load clips with frames that were compiled in Authoring you can still use
goto, stop and all other timeline methods, properties and events.
It's Flex which avoids the timeline,

AS1 and AS2 and AS3 all compile to Flash Player byte-code. The VM could
not care less how you created the byte-code. You could define your own
language and write your own compiler to generate an swf.
Sort of true, but misleading. AS1(2) bytecode runs in the old VM, and
AS3 bytecode runs in

Same here. I recently did a pretty thorough search for a swf profiler...
The best solution I could come up with was good ol' fashioned unit testing.
If you know the common memory wasters in Flash and you've developed
following object oriented design principles you should be able to narrow
down
If you have 2 VMs supporting 2 different byte-codes (AS2 and AS3) then
you really have 2 products and only the branding (Macromedia Flash) makes
them similar.
The renderer both VM use is still the same (there are no two renderers),
also each VM has separate API but both share a lot of code
Maybe Flix takes the cuepoints of the source Quicktime movie (they
call it tracks) ?
For everyone record :
No actual tool take Quicktime cuepoints to export them in the on2 flv
