I have to give the Adobe Flash team big props on the new Spark framework’s focus on separated logic. Not only does it enhance my productivity and sanity, but it has opened wide the door for and encouraged the Flex community to create vast reusable code in ways that Flex 3 had problems encouraging developers

This is as much a recommendation as a rant, so pardon me while I do both Situation Open-source project or foundational classes for use within your organization that contains methods for parsing data.

Problem: When it comes to Tween libraries, it’s either a project’s requirements and/or developer personal preferences that can conflict in selecting a library. Honestly, the library shouldn’t matter. The importance is that the objects are tweened. This is especially important when it comes to open-source projects, as the issue only compounds where it’s much more

RJ Regenold and I were discussing last night how we both strongly believe constructors should have extremely limited algorithms that simply invoke protected methods. For instance, PureMVC’s Facade initializes the instance in the constructor package org.puremvc.as3.multicore.patterns.facade { import org.puremvc.as3.multicore.core.*; import org.puremvc.as3.multicore.interfaces.*; import org.puremvc.as3.multicore.patterns.observer.*; public function Facade( key:String ) { if (instanceMap[ key ] != null)

How does one rasterize a transformed vector capturing it’s new dimensions without pixelation? Note: This follows my previous post Matrix Not Synchronized Challenge: To render a bitmap of a transformed vector display object without pixelation. Specifically, after a mx.controls.Text is transformed, a bitmap snapshot is needed to be taken of the new object including the

My opinion is that the following is a big bug. When serializing/cloning an object that has required constructor parameters, you receive an error telling you the arguments are incorrect. Note: the following is just an example using a “native” flash class. Really, you should never have to serialize or clone an Event, so please just

I came across a bug where when you set the scrollRect of a DisplayObject and get a dimension, within the first few mil/nano-seconds it reports the correct width and height. However, after that the reported width and height is the scrollRect‘s width and height. This to me is a bug considering you can not request

Perhaps there is another type of “background” attribute that would cause the name “backgroundAlpha” to be ambiguous. i.e. for example, perhaps there is “contentBackgroundAlpha” and “tableBackgroundAlpha” which I have invented for the purpose of making my point.

@Forrest,
You linux using fool!
While I agree with your perspective, it points out my questioning. There is no other background in the component. Therefore, it leaves me questioning why they had to obfuscate it and deviate from a convention they’ve had going and particularly they have going.

After talking with Jonathan Campos, he told me this is a common complaint and irritant of many Flex/Flashers. However, as he mentioned and I did, it is a simple change to make to use background instead of contentBackground
