Nice! I was looking at the object class for that - coolio.
One thing I noticed is that the exact same code in Flash 8 works fine and
doesn't pass the length of the array where in as3 it slipped it in.
Hello :)
It's easy ;) You can use myObject.setPropertyIsEnumerable(myProperty,
false)
Okay tried the setEnumberable out and in Flex it traces back false but the
php is still seeing the length property, and Service capture still shows
the length property being available in the array I sent to the php service
according to service capture. This is using the extending net connection
This might be a ring ring but I didn't see much in the archives...
Is there anything like ASSetPropFlags in as3?
I haven't even tested that yet?
Basically I am using amfphp and i'm sending an array - and its all good
but in php when you loop you see the length property. I want to hide that
Try setting your textFormat after you apply the text.

How are the variables being generated and set?
Are you getting those values from external source such as xml or text file?

N0 actually it doesn't affect the entire string, if you use the optional
params. setTextFormat takes optional index parameters for the index to start
the format and end the format.
You can go mytf.setTextFormat(startIndex,endIndex,textFormat)
I use that all the time to format something bold,

A couple notes about MTASC -
First off its pretty strict. Your code has to be pretty solid, items have
to be casted properly, variables cannot be redefined in the same scope,
etc, or MTASC bitches at your fierce. Its not a bad thing in the long run,
but something you should think about preparing
You could also tap into the history of the page with the js history object

reliable that is but its an idea.

What version of flash are you using? YOu can try delegate to solve scoping
issues but i kinda set it up in two ways as the comments suggest.
Also, avoid references to root if possible.

You often see people use delegates this way as well:

(this,onButtonClick));
This is handy- but if you have to remove
You still have to go through the process of adding the listener and

Design Patterns help you solve problems. You need to have many objects

need extend an object without subclassing - Decorator Pattern might help.

Chances are, the exe is unpacking. How big is the exe you are trying to run?
In Director, we used to create a stub exe that really had nothing much but
launched the exe the way we needed with the xtras and then referenced a
file. It was much friendly for the wait time.
