AVM1Movie Controller in Flex
I just wanted everyone to know about this awesome class i found. I needed to load some Flash 8 movies into my flex application and control the play head dependent on labels inside the flash movie.
This was proving really hard until i found that class now it is a piece of cake!
Thanks whoever you are maruthi2000
System.vmVersion
A fellow Senior Rich Internet Applications Developer at work Sam found a nice new undocumented attribute in the Systems package today. vmVersion seems to return the current Flash player virtual machine running on your computer. Mine, and Sams for that matter traces out as 1.0 cyclone. Not sure how useful this is but interesting none the less.
Password Strength Indicator in ActionScript 3
I needed to build a simple Password Strength indicator much like the ones you find on google registration pages. Using some simple RegExp ( Regualar Expressions ) it wasn't that hard.
Below is a simple example that uses the class to display the security level as well as updating a HBox to show a visual indication of the quality of your password.
The crieteria for the regular expressions are to check Capital letters, standard letters, numbers and none word characters to build up the quality level Right click to view source
