I actually just left a "Sneaks" talk during which Adobe showed off about a dozen new features that will be coming out next year. I think they might be shooting themselves in the foot slightly because it seems like there's nothing new when they do a keynote. Anyway, it was still really cool. Server Side ActionScript looked so great! Ha! I actually just left a “Sneaks” talk during which Adobe showed off about a dozen new features that will be coming out next year.

I swear, though, it did work once. Then I wrote this. Then it promptly broke. I assert that with noodling you can get it to work with text/xml (I swear it did!) but I've been using application/octet-stream ever since. Sorry for the misinformation! Hey everyone,

Would this work well in AS3 too - or does it require the power of Flex ? If it does - do u have any examples in AS3 only? Hi - i need to use resource bundles with Flash, not Flex.

I'm having a great time learning papervision- I am stuck on this one problem however: I have a series of planes at angles nested inside a DisplayObject3D. That object also has its own rotation in 3-D space. I want to click on the one of the planes and have flash know what the 3D coords and rotation of that plane is in relation to the camera. Can you point me in the right direction? Sincerely, Alex hi! I’m having a great time learning papervision- I am stuck on this one problem however:
