frissons and frabjous merriment in sharesize portions
Taka over at fladdict has come up with a neat way of altering the bytecode of an uncompressed SWF, to get access to properties exported for Actionscript. The first use I can think of is a neat alternative to some of the functions promised by FlashInterface.
I’ve recently been working on a project which concerns integrating of Flash 8 / Flash 9 VMs. However, progress has been stumped by unfortunate revelations of a bug in the FocusManager, when interacting with components across different VMs.
What a delicious nightmare this was for a while. I’m working on a large application that’s very reliant on modular capabilities offered by Flex. From past experience, one should know the perils of using technology that’s not fully understood. It’s especially noted that when dealing with complexities of modular architecture, nothing is ever “plug and play”. Time to RTFM.
