Thanks guys!
I think the removeChild is working below (event.currentTarget), but now I'm
getting the "Cannot access property or method of a null object reference"
which is usually what happens when the EventListener is calling a

The code below has a problem. The line within the removeDead function
is supposed to removeChild on the emitter object.
I can't for the life of me figure out what the path is- is it
event.target.parent.removeChild(event.target) or is it parent.removeChild(
event.target) or what? I've tried eve
Have the panel with the button dispatch an event to which the parent (main) listens,
The listener then takes care of things (like moving the panel).
Interfaces have nothing to do with this.

If you're the only person working on a project, interfaces can be less

Interfaces can do much more than just help multiple coders stay on
track. In Actionscript 3, they can be used to mimic multiple
inheritance, decrease file size of loaded swfs, and clarify your own code.
Interfaces are simple, but understanding Interfaces and how and when to
use them takes a b

An interface is used to make sure your code is not tightly coupled. Instead
of saying which class should be given, you say which interface should be
given. This means that a developer has more freedom to implement his own
version of an interface.

It's actually very very simple. An interface is just a special class
that sets the rules of other classes. So an interface doesn't do

Extending DisplayObject to access some of its native functionality (e.g.
event bubbling) seems fine to me, especially if you look at it from the
perspective of EventDispatcher has events and DisplayObject extends
EventDispatcher and adds bubbling functionality. If you need bubbling,

Extending a display object to get the event bubbling of for a non-visual

Indeed, if you set the width of a TextField and autoSize to LEFT, it will
automatically resize only the height.

No, they're not on the same domain. I thought that you only needed a

You can also do it like this:

hi,
creating a webservice is asynchronous, at least in as2, you will have
to wait for the creation to complete.
