actionscript

I'm trying to read the width and height of a locally loaded image. This seems to work for images that do not exceed the dimensions limited by the Flash Player 10 ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/496/cpsid_49662.html ), but as soon as the images are bigger, the width and height remain 0. The strange thing is that now and then, I can read the dimension of these bigger images, but most of the times not. I understand that this might be because of the player limitation, but then I would at least expect the error to be consistent. I want to check this since there is no use in loading such a big image as

I have a canvas,lets say of dimensions 500x600.I have some controls inside that canvas.User can rearrange the controls by drag and drop.But I want to restrict the drag and drop within that canvas. For example:There is a button in the canvas.User can drag and drop the button anywhere inside the canvas.But if the user tries to drag the button out of the canvas boundaries,it should stick in the canvas boundary.

I want to learn actionscript but I don't know wether to learn AS2 or AS3. Isn't AS3 an upgrade of AS2? I studied Lingo Scripts for Macromedia Director years back... 1998. (intermediate level) Are there any similarities with Action Script

I have a string of of base64-encoded PNG image that is suitable to use as a src (source) attribute in a <img> tag. However I need to transfer this image to Flash applet where I need to create (show) the image fast . Is there a way to simply use the data string and somehow create an image (inside a Flash movie) from it? Performance of the operation is a core requirement. At the very least you must decode the base-64 data into binary. You can then load the binary data as an image using Loader.loadBytes(). Here's a fast base64 decoder compiled with alchemy: http://www.blooddy.by/en/crypto/ var
