Managing depths in AS2 was pretty cumbersome and annoying. You had to use methods like getNextHighestDepth() or keeping track of depths manually to make sure everything appeared on the stage properly and didn’t overwrite each other. Enter AS3 FTW! Read more »

A comment in the post about the fl.* package .swc written by Dimitriy outlined that the package was missing the fl.video package in it. I did a quick test and it indeed was missing (not sure how I missed that before) so I went ahead and did a quick search for the video package and found that Aron Philipp had a proper version of the package. You can now grab his version from the same link that my old version was at or get it directly at his blog.
Thanks Aron, hope you don’t mind me posting it up here.

I’ve been very busy lately with the whole move and remodeling on top of a huge project that’s eating up all my time so I haven’t had a chance to do much around here. I did, however, update the AS3 ContactForm due to an issue that Damien Oliver outlined in the comments so if you’re using the class, please make sure to update (it’s just an update to the PHP script, not the actual AS file). Thanks Damien.
Well, today was the day of the big move and I’m happy to say that everything went smoothly. All my stuff is piled up in the garage because my dad is going to be working on some stuff at my new home for the next couple of weeks so I’ll be working out of my parents house for a while. I’ll continue to publish new stuff during this time as soon as I can get my setup ready so there shouldn’t be too much of a delay in new stuff. I’ve got some cool stuff coming out soon, but as always I’d appreciate if people sent in requests for what they’d like to see on the site as far as code goes (or anything else for that matter).
