A few years back I wrote a popular post that demonstrated an AS2 technique to have a clickable button inside of a draggable movie clip. Recently, I received a request to see how it would be accomplished in AS3.
I haven’t posted in a LONG time and I thought it was a great idea. Not only does it get me blogging again, but it’s a great, short introduction to a couple of the new features in AS3.

I recently had Flash CS4 installed and began experiencing some issues. Specifically, I was attempting to copy a nested object from within one heavily nested frame into another movie. Flash hung immediately and never recovered.
After a little bit of Googling I found that Adobe released an update to version 10.0.2 on 5/13/2009 to address similar issues. The installation was fairly quick and painless. No reboot was required. It seemed to fix the issues I was experiencing.
You can download the update here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
If you purchased a current copy of Flash, the update is probably already included since it came out last year. The version information is on the splash page and under Help / About Adobe Flash CS4 within the application.

I stumbled across this useful tidbit the other day in the MySQL Forums. I’ve always been frustrated that bit data type values fail to appear in MySQL Query Browser. Instead, it simply displays a ‘b’ regardless of the actual value.
I looked through all of the options but couldn’t find a setting related to the issue. The solution (workaround) turned out to be very easy. Just add 0 to the column in the SELECT list and the values will appear.
For example:
SELECT myBooleanColumn + 0 as myBooleanColumn
FROM myTable
Either a 1 or a 0 will now appear as the value in the results.
