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

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
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,
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
It's much better if you keep all classes and libraries local to the project,

This ensures that

without having to care about dependencies; and
B)
It supposedly compiles the AS code into native iOS binary code, with an
internal framework that duplicates Flash's capabilities. So there's no
middle SWF (AVM) or objective C code being generated.

FlashDevelop, SWFMill, SWFDump, HaXe, FlashTracer - are these available on
Mac?
This IS as accurate as possible. Technically, your mouse never was on 2,
3, 5, 7, 8, etc. Remember mouse reading on the hardware works at a
certain frequency, and everything in between is lost.
You can always interpolate between read values. That'll give you the
imtermediary positions where
You want to create a mosaic-like effect?
Forget getPixel/setPixel/drawrect.. it'll be too slow. Instead, you
should let Flash handle it by creating new Bitmaps, shrinking the image
inside it, drawing that to a new bitmapdata, and then using that new
bitmapdata on the original size.

Hi!
I have an 8 bit grayscale bitmap saved as 8-PNG. I want to use that
bitmapdata as an alpha, but I have no success.
What conversions do I need to do, cause obviously I cant use it in
copypixels directly as the alphabitmapdata.
Thanks

Wrap the textfield with a movieclip. Then the designer can move and
animate the movieclip around in any way he pleases, but you just do
modifications to the textfield that's inside.
New keyframes for instances of objects that are supposed to be
manipulated by code is hell.

Yes, but the biggest problem is usually with the rendering. If you're
going to move 100 extremely complex movieclips and the framerate is bad,
no tween class will help you make it faster because the bottleneck will
be on rendering and not on the code.
