I'm running Flash CS4 on a laptop and find it gets sluggish. I find when I restart my computer, I can work at a good speed for a while, but eventually it becomes very laggy - why is this?
Can I dump the cache files or something to simulate the restart? I've reduced the undo history to 10 - any other tips for CS4 on a mediocre machine?
I was wondering how to embed an swf file inside another swf file, If i simply import it to the stage or the library it will become a symbol but the actionscript interactivity is lost, another question is can I have an actionscript 2 file play within an actionscript 3 file? The actionscript 2 code for embedding is something like this: don't mind the _mc titles

I should build a web application for back-office purposes and one of the main requisites is a good UI. On server-side I'll use Java very likely Spring framework, depending on what I'll be using client-side. I think to basically have 3 choices for client-side: a "normal" web application, meaning JSP pages, using JQuery framework. In this case, I will use full Spring's features, complete MVC pattern etc. I've been using Spring and JQuery for 2 years, so I know these techs very well. But I also know that it's quite complicated to realize some effects, much javascript code involved, specially when dealing with ajax calls and dynamic changes of page structure.
Flex with add-ons such as BlazeDs to integrate with Spring. I have no experience using Flex, I just read some articles and tutorial about it, but I really would like to learn something new :-) Google Web Toolkit, maybe with something like gwt-ext. No experience, but I really like to learn. It's plenty of support out there if I need, but I think I will struggle to maintain Spring MVC and GWT in the same project, I read that it's not so easy but there are a couple of patterns to follow.

Is it possible to maintain the style format I've applied to my dynamic textfield when using css?What I'm trying to accomplish: I'm trying to get the url links in my cdata from my xml file ( <a href="">link</a> ) to underline, and if even more so possible, to bold or change font color for that link. And I'd like to avoid just using the <u> tag in the cdata instead.I know you can just use a stylesheet to accomplish that, but I've already set up my script to use the setTextFormat method and when I try to combine the two, it seems that I lose my embedded font.Heres what I have now for my textfield, which is also successfully pulling the style from a xml file.[code]

I have a container full of tiles and other assets that serves as the map. On top of that container is a mask that serves as the camera the player sees through. In order to move the camera around I move the container around.I'm able to center on a tile within the container using the following formula:
container.x = ( ( (tile.x + (tile.width / 2) ) * container.scaleX) * -1) + (mask_width / 2);
container.y = ( ( (tile.y + (tile.height / 2) ) * container.scaleY) * -1) + (mask_height / 2);
This moves the container into position relative to the mask such that the center of the mask will be the tile in question.I recently added the ability to zoom, which just adjusts the scaleX/scaleY of the container to make it bigger or smaller. I've already fixed the centering code above to account for it, but I'm having trouble making it so the "camera" doesn't appear to move around as the view shrinks. Basically, when zooming out everything appears to move to the left, because the container shrinks. It's all fine once I center on something with the code above, but I need a way to bump the container over to the right a bit based upon the difference in scaleX and scaleY to keep everything looking like it's in the same position while zooming.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing an app consisting of 6 frames with 4 or so ComboBoxes on each frame. ComboBox data has been declared through Component Inspector > dataProvider. I want the user to be able to return to previous frames to review their selections made in each ComboBox. However when changing frames, the label returns to its Prompt condition. How do I override the DataProvider data when a selection has been made, to keep displaying that selected label while the user navigates?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to import graphics from Photoshop. I tried importing a psd for an arrow shape into Flash CS5. The imported image looks good. But when I right click on the imported image and choose 'Edit with Photoshop', it's just a flattened version. Is there another way of importing that keeps the editability of the original psd?
View 1 RepliesMy picture size is about 1000px by 1000px. It's pretty big, but simple. It has large circles, & when I place it in Flash, the circle's edges become pixelated and choppy, and not at all as smooth as it was in Photoshop. How can I maintain the quality? I tried putting a JPG in and a PSD, both of them looked really bad.
View 1 RepliesI have a TileList which represents some remote data. I also have a form which allows me to change the data. And the data may be changed by someone else too.
What is the best way to maintain data in the list in an up-to-date state? The simplest option I see is the following:
Select an item in the list Edit it in the form Save it. The form submits the data to the server When the server reports success the list re-fetches it's data The very bad thing about this workflow is that the list loses selection (a tree would also loose the nodes' expanded/collapsed state). I would really love to find out another option which would enable the list to maintain it's selection state.
I have flexlib WindowShade component in repeater in my Flex + AIR application.
<mx:XML id="mainMenuXML"><items>
<item value="abc" />
<item value="xyz" />
<item value="lmn" />
</items></mx:XML>
Now in button1 click handler I am appending child in XML(mainMenuXML) resulting adding one more windowshade instance. But the problem is it opens all the windowshade instances. I need to maintain the opened states after adding a new windowshade instance.
For example:
Initially I get 3 windoshades with labels: abc, xyz, lmn all opened.
Now I close the xyz windowshade instance(by clicking on the header)
Now I click on button which appends child in mainMenuXML and also add a windowshade instance with some label "pqr". But now I see all the windowshade instances opened.
But it should be like abc, lmn, pqr should be opened & xyz closed(property opened="false").
How to maintain the opened true/false state of windowshade instances. I tried to add a property in dataprovider Bindable to opened property of windhowshade but didn't worked for me.

I'm having a problem with importing a layered PSD file into Flash, an issue which i've read about in a number of forums but haven't yet been able to fix.
The content of the PSD file in question is numerous layers of line drawing which I am importing to the Stage and converting to keyframes in Flash. The layers have no white background and are clear but for the lines of drawing.
The problem I'm having is that the first layer of the PSD file imports perfectly, with its quality intact, but all those which follow it are distorted and jagged, and look pretty awful for some reason.
I have experimented with both lossy (set at 100) and lossless compressions to try and improve the layer quality, lossless is marginally better but not the best.
I am creating simple drawings in Power Point and them saving them as png or jpg files. I then bring the drawing into Flash using import to stage. The imported drawings lose some quality (e.g. straight lines appear jagged). Any way to maintain image quality when importing images into Flash.
