So basically, the setting wmode value puts performance at the mercy of the

You're using the Loader class instead of the MovieClipLoader class?

I believe he's using AS3's Loader.
Cary, I believe the url's would be relative to the container SWF or HTML. So
if your SWFs are sitting in a folder called 'swf' and your HTML is in the
root, then all of your files must have a url of 'swf/file'.

I don't think that this is a bug, rather a simple lack of a feature.
You can mask device fonts with masks created by script (instead of
mask layers), or embed the font and it will be maskable by mask
layers.

Hey fellows, in AS3 how can I create class instances from a list of classes
names. Take for example something like this:
import Circle;
import Square;
import Triangle;
var list:Array = new Array(Circle,Square,Triangle);
for(var i=0;ilist.length;i++){
var class = new list[i]();
}
You might repeat the algorithm for getting the first ring on each cell that
makes up that ring.
A lazy way to do it would be to exclude the cell that the ring is
originating from, and any cells that have already been found.
A better solution would be to get the angle between the center and the

Not sure since eval() is gone.
Try keeping a reference for each class in some object and use it like a hash
map.
import Circle;
import Square;
import Triangle;
var classes:Object {
Circle:Circle
, Square:Square
, Triangle:Triangle
};
var list:Array = new Array(Circle,Square,Triangle);
Just remove the quotation marks from your array so it looks like this:
var list:Array = new Array(Circle,Square,Triangle);
Assuming your import statements are right, your code will work.

There's also this:
var ClassRef:Object = getDefinitionByName(flash.display::Sprite);

That allows you to really use a string and not a class reference,
which is what I think you want...
But, as with Flash 8, the class reference must really exist in your

[Embed] metadata is Flex only.
In Flash you embed fonts through the library or by setting a dynamic textfield
to embed a particular font.
