Comment on Basic Flash-tips #2: Runtime-errors with row-numbers by devBlog

Just be aware that this pops the dreaded ” Where is the debugger or host application running?” on some systems with the authoring environment installed (have yet to figure out what set up is causing it).

To be on the safe side my recommendation is to uncheck permit debugging before final compile.

There is no limit, just Activate “Bitmap Proxies” in Render Scene/Common-tab.

And I found that by enable “runtime bitmap caching” on both the mask and the maskee the textfields in components such as combobox is also visible.

You are so right inEar!
here is a list of supporting browsers:

Internet Explorer 5.0 and later, Netscape 8.0 and later, Mozilla 1.7.5 and later, Firefox 1.0 and later and Safari 1.3 and later.

One thing to have in mind is that the ExternalInterface is not available to all browsers, so check the property “ExternalInterface.available” and use the “navigateToURL” if false.

if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call(”window.open”, url);
}
else {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url),”_blank”);
}

I wonder if this gonna be delaying the migration to flash 9 in banners?

Another of those “never learning’s” is to forgot using Delegate when writing event functions in a class.

button.onRelease = function(){ }

instead of

button.onRelease=Delegate.create(this,onButtonPressed);

No errors, just silence…

Totally agree. The web is overflowed with an overuse of easeOutBounce and easeOutElastic.
And Timeline rules for longer linear animations where control over timing is crucial.
