Comment on Use cf_sql_timestamp for MS SQL and MySQL date types by Kirill

I also just found out that if you use cf_sql_date, hours and minutes get erased and zeros are inserted instead. However using cf_sql_timestamp saves hours and minutes information. MS SQL database.

Comment on Can I access Stage from an AS3 Class with no DisplayObject? by rabidgadfly

Events are great, however, if the class included ‘something with a stage reference’, then a reference to the stage wouldn’t be needed in the first place.

Simply broadcast an event that is caught by something with a stage reference. I’ve read far to much code where people pass the stage around. USE EVENTS!

Comment on Simple XML-Driven Flash AS3 Slider by Fefe

Hi! Thanks for this, I’m just starting with as3. I have a flash site and would like a slider just like this one, but on a frame. Is it possible to have it inside the mc for example? Also your FLA is empty, and if I drag things from the library to reposition and redesign them, it doesn’t work. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this…
I have been having issues with the “export to actionscript” feature and now I finally understand WTF is going on with it…
Your example provided the key I needed to understand how to create dynamic items (versus pre-placing them directly on the stage).

Kudoos to you.

You shouldn’t have a problem finding work. There is a shortage of intelligent people with IT skills. An ample supply of unskilled people consist of the 9%.

The irony, you should be able to build a really good resume.
