Brighter Horizons for Web Education

Posted by James - 28/01/09 at 09:01:04 am

This is an interesting article for ‘A List Apart’ – basically discussing the fact that Web Education (ie.

Actionscript 2 to Actionscript 3 communication? try FlashInterface…

Posted by James - 20/08/08 at 09:08:38 am

As you probably know, Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3 projects aren’t completely compatable – they can’t be, what with all the changes under the hood.  Migrating your own coding techniques is hard enough, but migrating projects can be so much easier and nigh-on-impossible.  So, how could you make a mish-mash of Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3 movies play nice?

Well, there’s a few solutions, and several classes that claim to do the job, but the best I’ve found is FlashInterface.  It might take a bit of figuring out at first, but the Events based model means that I find it quite easy to use.
