  Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject’s filtered [...]

  Anyway this project was in part completed but had to do some changes and fix some bugs. Most bugs [...]

  Number.toString bug

  Virgil Cristea | 20.11.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Last week I had to write a small piece of code to send to a webservice a number from a text input. All was fine for the normal test values (0,1,100). The problem appeared when I tried to send the number -9223372036854775808. Instead of receiving this number I got -9223372036854776000.  So I started to do [...]

  Flash NULL pointer exploit

  Virgil Cristea | 18.04.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  The paper “Application-Specific Attacks: Leveraging the ActionScript Virtual Machine” written by Mark Dowd in which he describes various techniques that promise to open up a class of exploits and vulnerability research previously thought to be prohibitively difficult. While the Flash vulnerability described in the paper [pdf] has been patched by Adobe, the presentation of a [...]

  toString() vs xmlToString()

  Andrei Ionescu | 29.01.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I don’t know if you got in trouble when working with xmls but recently I found a bug (or a feature). Some differences when using toString() and/or xmlToString().
  Take a look a the following code:

  public var test1:XML = new XML("
  <permissions></permissions>
  ");
  public var test2:XML =
  <permissions></permissions>;
   
  public var test3:XML = new XML("
  <permissions>
  <test1>test</test1>
  </permissions>");
  public var test4:XML =
  <permissions>

  How to create a swf RSL from a swc and how to use it

  Virgil Cristea | 08.01.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  In a previous article I told you about the benefits of RSL’s. But you need also to know how to create them from a swc and how to use them.
  First step is to create a new “Flex Library Project”. Write all the code you want to have in it. Then in your main application [...]

  Scroll Mask

  Stelian Crisan | 30.11.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I was working to a flex project, I need a canvas where I have to put some elements on a big surface, so I really need to have scrollbars. That’s fine. If I move an object to the right-bottom corner it’s working great, if the object goes out of working space, will go under scrollbars, [...]

  Deep Object Copy

  Virgil Cristea | 25.10.07 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  I wanted to write a few words about the deep object copying in flex (aka as making an absolute identical replica of an object no matter it’s class).
  There is a function in the flex API called ObjectUtil.copy This is a very nice function but the problem is it cannot work on all object classes. [...]

  Constant XML not so constant?

  Virgil Cristea | 25.10.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It seems that the constants behave strangely in Flex.
  Here is why:

  public const X:String = "X";
  public const Y:int = 101;
  public const NotSoConstant:XML = …some random xml…

  Now here comes the fun part:

  var x:string = X;
  x = "aaa";
  trace(X + ":" + x); // X:aaa
  var y:int = Y;
  y = 10;
  trace(Y +":" + y); //101:10
  var constantOrNot:XML = NotSoConstant;
  constantOrNot = …another [...]
