[flexcoders] recompiling framework shared library?
Hi, I've made a change to mx.controls.videoClasses.VideoPlayer.as and placed it in my 'src' folder under the folders 'mx', then 'controls', then 'videoClasses' and it picks up the change no problem. If I then change my project to use 'runtime shared library' it's not picking up my changes. What do I need to do? do i need to recompile the framework_3.0.0.477.swz somehow? thanks,

[flexcoders] Does setting PlayheadupdateInterval time affect videoEvents?
For the VideoDisplay, does setting the playheadUpdateInterval="500" cause any bad effects? When a video finishes, sometimes I'm not getting the VideoEvent.COMPLETE event. I have: myPlayer.addEventListener( VideoEvent.COMPLETE, flexPlayerComplete); Could this be because the interval is too slow??? and misses it? Instead, I'm getting a seek event and the video repeats itself, and then I get the Complete event??? thanks,

[flexcoders] creating a class - question extending
Hi, I'm trying to create a class that extends the image class,
I need to associate a username with the image,
Here is what I have:
package
{
import mx.controls.Image;
public class imageWithData extends Image {
private var _username:String;
public function imageWithData() {
super();
// _username = ???
}
public function set username(value:String):void {
_username = value;
}
public function get username():String {
return _username;
}
}
}
I am unclear as to what goes after the 'super()'
do I need a _username = something?
thanks,
[flexcoders] Debugging question - how do I skip over modules I don't care about?
Hi, when I'm in the debugging mode and single stepping thru my code, sometimes it goes off into some module that I don't care about, for example the ResourceManager.as, is there a way to 'fast forward', ie, hit the green triangle to continue until it comes back to my code? I can hit the green button, but I may not have any more breakpoints set in my code and it just zooms past all of it. . . I just want to single step my code, or the modules of my choosing and execute (without single stepping) system modules or modules that I don'tcare about. thanks!

[flexcoders] How do I clear out all events?
Hi, I have a list of images, and when I click on an item in the list, I fire off an event to go find the url of the image and I have another eventlistener that waits and loads the image when the correct url is returned. All works great When the user clicks on many items in the list, the events get queued and the images slowly load one after the other and the last image finally gets loaded. If the queue gets large - I just want to skip over everything and just load the last one. I would like to clear out all events and just load the last image clicked on, what's a good/proper way of doing this? add and eventlistener and remove the eventlistener for each image? keep track of the last image clicked on and ignore the other events coming in? thanks
