ActionScript 3.0 :: Moock And Eich On JS Evolving
Jan 25, 2011
So Colin Moock (author of a bunch of well-known AS books, among other things) posted a long comment on one of Brendan Eich's (original author of JS) blog posts, and then Brendan responded.In short, Colin questions why Harmony (the nebulous "next" version of JS) probably isn't going to support a lot of the things that were originally in ES4 and that are in AS3, like optional strict typing and classes. Brendan responds with his reasons.It's a good read, and probably of interest to many of the people who made the AS1 -> AS2 -> AS3 transition, or people who write code in both AS and JS and like to argue for one direction or the other.

They also have fetures like news, blog and etc. with customized scroller but their scroller scrolls with an ease? You know, it scrolls smoothly like it's sliding

Has anyone got any alternatives to what Colin Moock has coded to GET VISIBLE WIDTH/HEIGHT OF A DISPLAY OBJECT in ActionScript 3? That esp. in perspective of DisplayObjects that have 3D transforms applied and visible dimensions of which you need to consider for a calculation.
