Comment on Cast XMLNode to Boolean – AS3 by andy

i came across the same problem, and also found a string comparison to true to be the best way to fix it.

The reason is, assuming, like me, you were trying to cast the string as boolean something like

var myBoolean:Boolean = Boolean(XML.isTrueFalse);

will assign true if any string is present in that xml node.

Comment on Setup WAMP and the Zend Framework for use with Flash and Flex by Jeff

If you install Zend Framework with FlashBuilder, you are right, you dont need step 6.

If you install WAMP and then let FlashBuilder setup Zend for you, you are good to go.

Hi guy!

i read your title and i have a question!

why we have to do step 6?

i install zend framework using flash builder, it made no change in php.ini, and only 2 file add to flex project to work with flex are:
* amf_config.ini
* gateway.php

an other question is:

When we install zend frame work using flash builder, anything else are changed except what i said above!

Your title is good! many thanks!

Check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergykm/ for the GUI for the Mac. It’s much better than the GUI for the PC.

Also, if you are having trouble with modifier keys, make sure you understand that when you edit them in the configuration (e.g. Ctrl=Crtl or Ctrl=Alt), you aren’t thinking of it as “this key does that” but rather “this action is associated with this key”.

Thanks for the note about performance. When I am testing I will be sure to have it off and testing on the actual machine!

Synergy is indeed cool, but be careful of its performance. I was using it to control a PC from another PC on the same desk and thought I had a serious performance problem in my Flash game. Turns out that the problem was Synergy using 100% of the CPU under heavy mouse movement. So if you’re going to be doing any performance testing, it’s best to grab the computer’s own mouse. The rest of the time Synergy is great!
