Hi everyone,
It is a bit outdated topic of AS2.0. I just wonder if somebody can
explain me why onLoad and (inderectly) onData produces different
CDATA node values. I lost a lot of time trying to figure this out,
searching the Web did not help much...
Let's consider an XML file source:
I am learning ObjC for about a month. The purpose is porting and
existing AS2 application to iphone/ipad. Having very poor C experence
I can say, that knowing C is not something essential to familiarize
and then working fore real with apple frameworks.
Before I started XCode for good, I bought
All display objects have registration points (their internal 0,0
coordinates). Also bitmaps.
By default a loaded image (png) has its registration point in the
top-left corner. If you like to get rid of the improperly set
registration point then you may place the loaded image into a parent

Allow me to explain why it is bad. It is due to the object only being
created once. Not once per instance of the class, but once total. This
is clearly going to cause issues for any class that is used more than once.
I tested this:
package {
public class MyClass {
private static var instNum:Number = 0;
public var someObj:Object = new Object();
public function MyClass() {
someObj.name = Sun + MyClass.instNum++;
}
}
}
and tracing later gives:

If the code must be really called for each mouse move, then I have no
solutions . However if it is not crucial to execute all code for each
event, then perhaps you could add an incremental flag and execute code
for some of the events only, eg:
events_count = 0
MOUSE MOVE
So, what about iPhone and CS5 ? Isn't going to be the same path with
iPad and just matter of time ?

I agree with Glenn... it depends on size, particular example and is
often a speculation before the project starts running. If this is
going to be a micro-engine, why not add a set of modes and use one
depending on site. However this would mean a lot of work and testing.

I don't know if your question is still up-to-date. I do not have much
experience in AS3 external content loading, but this should be similar
to AS2.0
You can load any images without any security grants from any domain
you like. The restriction is added to objects that are related
It's hard to say...
A few questions:
- do you see all contents when you remove fading completely, i.e. when
you set 100% alpha at the beginning ?
- did you try starting fade with alpha 50% ?
- what kind of event do you use for fading, enter frame or a
timer/interval ?
- are images loaded into

Well... Code without braces may look a bit confusing, but that depends
on what somebody is used to and just what you like. An example when I
often bypass braces is setting default values for AS2 function
arguments:
function funName(arg1:Number, arg2:Object):Object
{
if(isNaN(arg1)) arg1 = 0;

There is a set of interesting JSFL scripts for various purposes. Also
manipulation of bitmap items. But I cannot bet there is the exact case.

Using just a set of functions is not oop. It's rather procedural
programming. However it works, it is difficult to reuse or make
something really large scale or cooperate with other programmers
basing on procedural code. You can write procedural-AS3, but there is
not point of doing that. And you

Beno, Jason mentions trace. This one is really essential.
You can use trace inside any part for code, it is inside methods or
directly in frame code. Add these trace lines to your code and start
playing with them:
public function Main():void
{
trace(Who I am ? I must be: + this);
Few words defending enterframe...
AS1 required manual initialization of broadcaster objects while
Movieclip events where simple: on(release), on(enterframe)...
AS2 provides EventDispatcher class. Using it may be considered as
somehow more advanced technique.
But AS2 still allows using such
embed, so the issue is probably only PC IE/FF
related (assuming it is not my PC and only my PC).

Exactly. Asking a question requires first formulating the problem.

I noticed a difference in how Flash CS3 and simple HTML page parses
b and i tags.
For example:
var test2 = A B C D B E F G I H I J K /B L M N O /I P Q R S T;

Flash produces: A B C D - regular font
E F G - bold
H I J K - bold+italic
is not correct HTML, right?
