Just messing around converting some double buffering AS2 routines to AS3
when I stumbled upon lock() and unlock() - does this make double
buffering unnecessary? I'm not noticing any immediate speed differences
between my routine using double buffering and my test with
lock()/unlock().

Have you thought of perhaps loading the swf into an MC offstage and
using the printjob class to print that. And googling first is just plain
courtesy man. Otherwise the quality of the forums decline and all the
people who would've had the answer to your problem move on elsewhere.

You can also store references to functions in an array and call them from the
array.
FuncArr= []
FuncArr[0]=func0
FuncArr[1]=func1
// call func 1
FuncArr[1]()
// call a load of funcs in sequence
Var len=FuncArr.length

We're discussing on the HaXe mailing list whether it would be possible
to decompile from Flash 8/AS2 swfs to Haxe, then (when the support is
added) recompile to Flash9/AS3 swfs to help speed up AS2 to AS3

You're right, it doesn't - you have to factor in the multiplier yourself
Something like this (for proportional scaling)

You're kidding me? They won't support embedding the activeX control, and

I know there's an issue with using bitmapdata -

Does that help anyone?

I suspect you could use bitmap data to achieve something along these
lines - if each piece has a special pixel - you can use that pixel to
check against a master bitmap to see if it's in the right place,
combined with snapping it should make it quite easy. - if you know it's
in the right place and
I'm writing my own place holder components for zinc (browser, ActiveX,
FileExplorer etc.) and have to call the zinc methods in the init
Eg.
mdm.FileExplorer.init();
Everything's fine but the compiler moans everytime that there's no such
method, how do I hide this from the compiler?

I've just scrapped my way of doing this in favour of a tile based
approach, much more versatile.

Well I've never made one before - but I'd store an array of the gun,
mirrors, and goals x,y and rotation properties and crawl through them to
draw the line...something like:
[as]
w = Stage.width;
h = Stage.height;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
//
points = new Array({x:10, y:10,

Really? As long as I know it's going to happen (ie - I've clicked on an
email address) I much prefer the email opening up in the mail client of
my choice, rather than me having
Ooops addendum.
[as]
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var tme = getTimer();
var mins = Math.floor((tme/1000)/60);
var secs = Math.ceil(tme/1000)-(mins*60)
num_txt.text =mins+":"+secs
};
[/as]
Will reset seconds when the minutes increments

Use getTimer() instead.
