Comment on Dispatching custom events between child SWFs in AS3 by Andrea

Andrea — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:27:39 +0000

you have 2 swf. parent swf and child swf. Parent swf import your CustomEvent class, and child import CustomEvent class. When the two swf create a new istance of CustomEvent to dispatch Event, the CustomEvent class for the parent swf is not the CustomEvent class of the Child… even those look the same.

when the parent swf load the child, parent must load child CustomEvent class definition inside the loader.loaderinfo.getDefinition(CustomEvent class) , so the parent swf will dispatch custom event of the REAL CustomEvent class of the child.

I actually figured out a way to do this without having to set grails.mime.file.extensions to false

If you add the following:

manifest
text/cache-manifest

To the

src/war/web.xml

Awesome this helped greatly! The grails.mime.types setting didn’t work for me either >.<

Comment on Why the iPad’s user agent string presents a problem by Arun

Well right now it doesn’t much impress me since I can go full screen with Opera and it seems to be a lot quicker at the moment, although once they get this whole thing off the ground it might shoot on past much of the competition. No idea but looks very interesting.

@jermbo:

We are working with seconds, so 3600 is equivalent to 1 hour in total seconds (60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes).

% is the modulo operator, better described here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

basically you get the remainder of a calculation. So 5%2 would be 1, since 5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1. Hope that helps

this is exactly what i needed. Thank you!!

for my own understanding can you explain why you are dividing and multiplying by 3600. And what does the % do in terms of math functions.

Thank your for your time!
