Here's some code I snipped out of one of my apps that uses the accordion.
I'm sure it can be simplified.
var childWidth:Number = 300;
var childHeight:Number = 200;
main_ac.setSize(300,400);
main_ac.createChild("View","latest",{label:" Posts"});
main_ac.createChild("View","latestComments",{label
I suggest switching to the flash.external (ExternalInterface) package.
This seems to be *the way* to do it in AS3. I use it currently in
AS2 and it works really well.

Knowing AS2 well would also make it easier to learn architectural
frameworks for Flash applications (ARP and Cairngorn). These allow
you to fully experience the benefits of OOP, and you get the added
bonus of a developer community around any given framework to answer
specific questions.

I've also had problems when there's more than one instance of your

it can result in windows stealing LC's from each other.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be possible to make a
connection between servers using LocalConnection. You'd have to ensure your
client swf was assigned an id to "authenticate" their application to access
the data. There would have to be a security model, in other words.
O
Good luck Thomas. From a high-level perspective, your "server flash
element" can create a localconnection to receive, and your "client flash
element" can do the sending. In the data can be the type of action
required, allowing for a switch statement to route it properly, as well as
the data itse
Red5 requires a jvm (or jre) on the server, if I read correctly. I've been
trying to get my host to install one for shared hosting accounts, and would
use this red5 over localconnection if I were lucky enough to have java.

Any way you look at it, we're building a searchable repository of both
newb and advanced tips. Flash programmers aren't Nazis, marching
together as some kind of unified front against all newbies. A

I'm getting started with the Yahoo! Flash API, and noticed their Maps
mxp doesn't include com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget. Looks
like Yahoo! needs to update their MXP to include this code since
there's an article on Adobe about how to use it.

It looks like a lot of onEnterFrame (to position the flower and adjust as it
grows) and setInterval for the spawning of the branches. I think the text
generation uses setInterval, maybe 100 milliseconds to make it seem like
it's being output by a computer. Really beautiful work, I think.

I would build a "wrapper" MovieClip class extension for your compiled
SWF, and use LocalConnection to send/receive the values. That is, use
LocalConnection in both the compiled swfs and in the wrapper. The
wrapper is the receiver and the compiled clips are the broadcasters.
http://www.osflash.o
To skirt this issue, I use AMFPHP proxy classes on my swf's host
server to talk to other servers or snap up RSS files. Not sure about
filesystem stuff though. It seems like that would be a security issue
on the backend as well as the front!
