GoASAP: The Go ActionScript Animation Platform

http://goasap.org/

Go proposes an alternative approach to both of these paths for the AS3 audience: A community-generated code base that covers common needs and provides a thin compatibility layer, without limiting developer creativity. Useful and fun extensions shipped with Go will help open up animation scripting to all AS3 coders, while core features stay minimal.

Quasimondo - Mario Klingeman...crets of Premultiplied Alpha

http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000665.php

So what can you do when you have to preserve the image information? Well, you have to take the slow road and always keep the alpha channel separate from the image. This means that you maintain three bitmaps - one is used to store the RGB information, one stores the alpha channel and the third one is used to be displayed on screen by joining both of them together.

creationPolicy vs Binding - Peter Ent’s blog

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archive...

Using the Binding tag to “reverse” data-binding on editable controls will make your code easier to write, understand, and more reliable. You won’t have to worry if user’s never touch containers on controls like Accordion or TabNavigator. And if the user does visit a form, data binding will populate the UI controls and Binding will read them.

[Flexcerpts 201] - Accessing...ex - Phil Chung’s blog

http://www.philterdesign.com/blog/2007/03/...

One thing that’s been discussed a lot is the hassle of embedding assets in Flex and then adding them to the stage. At the core of the issue is that everything in the Flex world IS a UIComponent. This is necessary so that the framework can “talk” to components within it through a known API (particularly with respect to Containers). So if you try to create a custom class that extends, say flash.display.Sprite, and try to add it to the stage, you get a runtime error called …

What is the fastest way to d...- Forrest Briggs’ blog

http://laserpirate.com/flashblog/?p=12

There are at least two ways to write to all of the pixels in a BitmapData- one is to call setPixel once for every pixel, and the other is to build an appropriatedly sized ByteArray, then pass it to BitmapData.setPixels (once per frame). So, if you want your code to run as fast as possible, which should you choose?
