Printing with Flash has always been one of those nagging issues I’ve never been able to successfully defeat, using the Flash PrintJob class that is. Although I want to sit here, and tell you how awful the PrintJob class is, I’ll let you try to explore that rocky road all by yourself; When you get to the point when you’re trying to use PixelBender for possibly getting a better algorithm for blending from pixel to pixel, and its still not working let me know, I could’ve saved you like 2 weeks worth of hair pulling by simply telling you to use: AlivePDF.

So let’s talk about spaceships… I mean Stratalogica.

Stratalogica has been my life for about the past year. It is a teaching tool for geography and history wrapped around Google Earth (for short). Roundarch the company I work for teamed up with Nystrom a division of Herff-Jones, to try and create a new platform to interact with their content. Long story short we came up with Stratalogica.

I haven’t posted in a while, but in the past 6-9 months I’ve been working on some pretty cool stuff. Stratalogica Check it out. Through it I’ve been learning some really nice perks, especially FP10. That along with Python, which is a pretty sweet language… but this is about AS3… maybe some JAVA.

First off Event Priority, that little number we get use to always setting 0 (if you actually set it, otherwise it’s always 0….

this.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, someFunction,false,0,true);
//or just
this.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,somefunction) //always  0

Anyways sometimes you want certain components to respond before others do, so bump this number up some, the higher the number the higher the priority.
