Just a quick shoutout to say thanks to a few gun actionscript coders out there who are generously sharing their top-notch work…

• Shane McCartney / www.flashdynamix.com and specifically this great post on GIS mapping interfaces in actionscript
• blog.pixelbreaker.com - Mac Mousewheel scrolling in AS2 and SWFObject add-on: Size limiting for full window flash (my favourite)
• Mario Klingemann / Quasimondo - the legendary flash bitmapexporter: compress and save images through flash / actionscript
• Abdul Qabix - despite all the confusion, it turns out you can access bitmap data (BitmapData.draw()) on a different domain in Actionscript 2, you just need to manually call System.security.loadPolicyFile(”http://otherdomain.com/crossdomain.xml”) and the domain hosting the image must have a crossdomain file. (Flash loads it automatically for data, but not for images).
• JSON for AS2… we also made an update to the Actionscript 2 JSON class to fix ordering bug of object properties
• More coming soon…
