Press2Flash (not to be confused with FlashPress) seems to be a very full featured way of using WordPress as a CMS for your Flash site. You can get all your posts/comments etc and present them however you would like. There is ASDoc documentation for it and the example he provides in the download is very simple to use. If you are looking for a CMS for your Flash site, give Press2Flash a look.
This is building off my previous post and adding a scrollbar to the textfield if there are too may tweets to fit in it. You don’t need to load data from a HTTPService but this is helpful for loading data when you don’t know its length ahead of time.
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and have had to re-install a few things so I figured I would post the instructions as I set them up. This is about setting up the extremely very valuable tool for every Flash developer that is Flash Tracer. But it CAN be a pain to setup with multiple versions scattered around the web, various instructions on different blogs, and quite often important tips buried in the comments of said blogs. Hopefully this can help you setup Flash Tracer without a lot of effort.
I am using Firefox 3.5.5, on Windows 7, with the Flash Player 10,0,32,18 debug installed.
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and needed to re-install some plugins for Flash CS4 and had a bit of difficulty finding this folder.

In order for this tutorial to work, you need to make sure that your environment is setup by following the instructions located here. I have included an fla (cs3) file in the /Flash folder of the Flex project archive. You would not normally do this for a production project but this is just meant to be a simple example and since they both use the same php files it didnt make much sense to split this article up into two separate articles.
I am currently using Flex Builder 3.0.2 and Flash CS4 but I saved the fla as a cs3 file for those that don’t have it yet.

Working with CSS and fonts in Flash (especially with dynamic text) can be a huge pain. I have come up with a way that makes it a lot easier. What I do is load them up, store a reference to the css file in a global class, and simply refer to that class when you need to use the fonts and css. The css styles dictate which fonts are used where within your application.
This method seems to work out well and saves on file size as you are referring to an instance of the font instead of instantiating it over and over again etc. (You will need the FontLoader class in order for this to work.)

In a project I was on, I had a need to draw a circle in a certain amount of time and it proved to be a bit of a pain. So here is my code (with some ugly comments) that I used to do it.

We have been doing quite a bit of research into mobile development at work and the various different platforms that are out there. I stumbled across this site somehow and noticed that he had some cool backgrounds/screensavers for mobile phones written in flash. I have the Nokia 5300 which has Flash lite 2.0 installed and after getting the Nokia software installed, I downloaded a few backgrounds and loaded em up. They are really cool! Great work Final Home! Check them out.
They may have inspired me to create a few of my own but we shall see how that goes. I have Flash 8 installed at home and CS3 at work which has the Device Studio that makes it real easy to test apps on. One of these days right?
