You might want to think about using something more robust like
smartfoxserver so you can not have the restrictions of http requests.
I've been using is on a chat/whiteboard app for a while and it's an enormous
performance increase over any http requests.

Hello :)
Use an argument in the constructor of you class to passed-in the parent
reference of your display
public function MyDisplay( target:DisplayObjectContainer = null )
{
if ( target != null )
{
target.addChild( this ) ;
}
}
PS : your code isn't valid in the constructor
ekameleon, you are the man! so sweet.
Thanks

I don't understand why you would not want to write a single line of code in the
class where it would provide the most clarity, and instead write MORE code in
another class obscuring the behavior that is going on. In other words, you're
writing more code to write the same code. You're going to
why?
BTW, Ekameleon, you should use
if (target)
Instead of
if (target != null)

if (Boolean)
Everything inside an if statement is automatically coerced into a Boolean.
Either it is or it isn't.
It's not more clear to write != null because an if statement cannot possibly be
anything other than true or false. In this case, null or not null. Writing it
out is redundant

Code bloat is one of the seven deadly sins (gluttony).
This is why we all name our variables things like x, y, etc instead of
giving them recognizable names, right?
And gluttony, really? I'm not going to EAT my code. Luxuria is a
better fit, even though we actually call it lust nowadays.

Funny just came out of this issue.
Turned out the v10.0.1-something debugplayer distributed with my
flex_sdk was not a nice one.
In my browser the rotX/Y/Z worked like a charm, but on flashdevelop with
that mentioned player I got the same issues.
I'm on windows so don't know how to do it on

That must be why ActionScript moved from a prototype-based,
loosely-typed language to a class-based, strongly-typed language,
right?
So that FlashBuider is another branch of flexbuilder that parses fxg xml ?
And catalyst is our designer handled beloved fxg spawning machine ?
Anytime soon we have to crawl trough this 'super modern' and mega
lengthy fxg xml's?
Or am I interpreting this wrong ?
The video tutorials scared me.

The act of writing Actionscript in FlashDevelop is, IMO, better. FD's code
completion and code gen is easier and faster. Because code completion and code
gen is the majority of what I do from moment to moment as I'm writing, it's the
better tool.

That is a better way to write the check. (Clever! you escaped from using

Are you sure there is a graphic in the myGesture movieclip ?
You need something to click on.
Do you see the handcursor with buttonMode = true ?
Otherwise try this as a test in the MyGesture constructor asn make sure
you see a square, then check for handCursor, then click it.

Ok,
I should have given a bit more background.
I am trying to detect a CLICK anywhere on the (blank) stage.
Only when the user clicks somewhere on stage, I want to show something.
How can I do this?
Do I still need to draw something?
