that is.

Hey list,
Do people here work with AIR? Or is there any better-aligned mailing list?
Anyway. I'm using AIR 1.5's NativeMenuItem's .keyEquivalent and
.keyEquivalentModifier. That feature is pretty cool and works like
this:
var item:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem(Do Whatever);
.
Thanks again,

From my experience, Flash has had issues composing many Bitmaps when they're

after 20 of them were present. Are your images overlapping?

Not saying much, but: no normal workaround that I know. This is behavior

Not directly, and that is not something you should be looking into doing

Your best bet is to create a new class that overrides .visible with a

It's much better if you keep all classes and libraries local to the project,
even if it means 'clogging' up drive space with copies of the same thing.
This ensures that
A) projects are portable, as you can pack/move them all from the same source
without having to care about dependencies; and
B)
I like to quote this, from PHP.net's Floating Point documentation:
Floating point numbers have limited precision. Although it depends on the
system, PHP typically uses the IEEE 754 double precision format, which will
give a maximum relative error due to rounding in the order of 1.11e-16. Non
Geografiek's reply still stands - you still use a split since the new
line/carriage return is just another character (but which will depend on the
file's system used).
lines = alltxt.split(\r\n); // 0x0d 0x0a, windows
lines = alltxt.split(\n); // 0x0a, linux/osx
lines = alltxt.split(\r); // 0x0d,
The first gotcha of either that you should have a server for testing locally
(apache or something else). It makes everything easier.
The second gotcha is that the 'official' Adobe AS3 API is not updated that
frequently. Personally I had a lot of trouble using it and all the examples
you can find
IIRC, Flash on a mobile device unloads the video from memory once it's past
a certain point due to memory constraints, keeping only the last few seconds
of it. It was mentioned on some of Adobe's docs about mobile optimization. I
think it's more about memory usage rather than actual time though
The cdata tags shouldn't be included in the read data. CDATA tags are part
