The below mxml code demonstrates function overloading in AS3 using …args
fnCreateOverLoaded function can be given with variable number of arguments and handled differently.

Step 1:
dispatchEvent(new Event(”customEvent”, false, true )) [Link]
Step 2:
addEventListener( “customEvent”, handler, false, EventPriority.DEFAULT_HANDLER, true );  [Link]
The EventPriority.DEFAULT_HANDLER enables prevent default

 By Implementing these steps - and plus your custom handling for event.isDefaultPrevented()  enables your custom event to be prevented from action. Example: [Link]

Great news, now we can save file from flash. we have new data type vector, support for 3d, new text engine and lot more :)  To develop code using flex for Flash 10

Code to Save any file in using flash
var fr:FileReference;
fr.save(’data to be saved in a file’, fr.name);

example : files

Adobe release notes 

on initialize call :addEnterFrameCatcher()

removeEnterFrameCatcher() to stop enterframe actions on runtime

relistenEnterFrameCatcher() to resume enterframe actions on runtime

private var enterFrameCatcher:MovieClip;
private function enterFrameHandler(param1:Event) : void
{
// enterframe script
}
private function addEnterFrameCatcher(): void
{
    enterFrameCatcher = new MovieClip();
    if (enterFrameCatcher)
    {
       enterFrameCatcher.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
}
private function removeEnterFrameCatcher() : void
{
    if (enterFrameCatcher && enterFrameCatcher.hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME))
    {
 enterFrameCatcher.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
    return;
}
private function relistenEnterFrameCatcher() : void
{
   if (enterFrameCatcher && !enterFrameCatcher.hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME))
   {
 enterFrameCatcher.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
}

access MovieClips inside layers Recursively, the below is example to stop all movieclips recursively

private function stopMCRecursively(mc:MovieClip) : void
{
    var ind:uint;
    if (!mc)
    {
 return;
    }
    if (mc != this)
    {
 mc.stop();
    }
    ind = 0;
    while (ind++ < mc.numChildren)
    {
 if (mc.getChildAt(ind) is MovieClip)
 {
     stopMCRecursively(mc.getChildAt(ind) as MovieClip);
 }
    }

Click here to have a look on AIR with multiple nativewindow instance (App also plays my Marriage video)

Hi, Click to have a look on MP3 player, i have created using AS3.0 with source code

click here for AIR version of Flexible, for editing and modifying the MXML. Alternative for Flex Builder. This works as MXML Parser. I have plans to create SWF instead of mxml (on runtime).

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(Application.application.url), ‘_self’);

Check MP3 capabilities of user system using
flash.system.Capabilities.hasMP3         Other wise you will be getting
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I was stuck because of that (my audio driver was not installed)
