Flash/ActionScript Interview Questions

We are currently hiring for a Flash position. I am trying to
come up with
some good ActionScript questions for the interviews. I have
looked all over
the net and can't seem to find anything like what I am
looking for.
I don't want general programming questions like "when would
you use an
interface class?" So far I have the following... feel free to
critique
these questions.
1. What are a few ways to cause an event to occur on a timed
basis?
2. How do you add a listener to another object? What are some
of the
built-in broadcasters?
3. How would you create and use a custom broadcaster for the
event
"onNextItem" broadcasting to the MovieClip "itemSheet"?
4. What are some of the primitive data types in Flash? What
would be a
foreseeable use of each?
5. What are some of the complex data types in Flash? What
could they be
used for?
6. Can you mix data types in an Array, what about an
associative Array
(Object)?
7. What are the two ways to create a new, empty object ready
for use?
8. What are the two ways to access a property of an object?
9. What are some methods for getting data from a web server
via the http
protocol?
10. Which built-in classes do you use the most?
11. Which third party classes/libraries do you use?
Please let me know if you can think of any others.
Thanks

Whic are good for Interview and Adobe Flash Developer Cirtification.

How do I reboot my machine when it is flashing a question mark folder?

How do I reboot my machine when it is flashing a question mark folder?

Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
After the installer loads proceed through the installation procedure. If you are reinstalling Snow Leopard then your hard drive will not be erased.

Mac book pro flashing a question mark folder

What does it mean when my mac book pro is flashing a question mark folder and will not boot

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

Scripting /Expressions in AE: Similar to Flash/ActionScript?

I think about learning AE, but I would like to get an overview about the Software, so that I can decide if it's suitable for what I am planning to do.
I have little experience in Flash/ActionScript, but I can't get a picture what Scripting means in AE. Can this be compared to Script-Languages like ActionScript and Lingo?
And what is the difference between "Scripting" and "Expressions" in AE.
Thank's!
Roland

Expressions are layer-based formulae/commands that manipulate the layer and its content/effects based on factors such as time, random number generation, variables, and other layers and elements within the project. An expression can only change elements of the layer parameter to which it is applied - it cannot alter any other layer or parameter within your project, although it can "see" changes in other elements and react accordingly.
AE Scripting, however, is an application-wide scripting language, which can perform almost any possible function within AE, from creating new projects, comps and layers, to reading data from external files, sending emails etc.
Both are customized adaptations of Java Script. Both were developed independently of Flash Actionscript, so while they share similarities, they are not the same.
One of the best places to learn about AE Scripts and Expressions is Dan Ebbert's fantastic site:
http://www.motionscript.com
And, of course, the AE manual. Expressions:

Can someone help with insertion of Flash actionscript 3.0 swf into Dreamweaver spry widget panel?

Working on a thesis project due soon... Created flash actionscript 3.0 swf for home page, text plus image, previews beautifully in Flash Publish, stored in my root folder, previews great when I open it in the root folder, dragged and dropped it into my dreamweaver code page, within a spry widget framework, size is perfect. and upon view in design or browsers or browser lab, I just get a nice empty white box. In design view, I see the F symbol and when I click play in properties, I get a message that says "Unable to find the plug in that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the "config/Plugins folder and the plug in folder for each o your installed browsers". I have Flash Professional CS 5. Reinstalled it just in case that was the issue with the plug in and didn't resolve the problem. Dreamweaver version is CS5. Using a template with spry widget panels. Before I inserted the swf, the preview in browsers and browser lab was fine on the spry widget and background. PC is windows, 32 bit, with ms office suite 2010 upgrade on it. Appreciate any advice.

my first trace on the hz position and vt position outputs but the trace for "scroll positions" and "new scroll positions" is not outputting.
i recieve this output when i click the 'next' and 'back' buttons within the menu9.SWF.
[Event type="iwannaresetscrolling" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
does this seem right?
import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
aSp.setSize(600, 350);
function scrollListener(event:ScrollEvent):void {
trace("horizontalScPosition: " + aSp.horizontalScrollPosition +
       ", verticalScrollPosition = " + aSp.verticalScrollPosition);
aSp.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, scrollListener);
function completeListener(event:Event):void {
trace(event.target.source + " has completed loading.");
// Add listener.
aSp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);
aSp.addEventListener("main swf", scrollResetListener);
function scrollResetListener(event:Event):void {
     trace("Scroll positions", aSp.horizontalScrollPosition,aSp.verticalScrollPosition)
     aSp.horizontalScrollPosition = aSp.verticalScrollPosition = 0;
     trace("New scroll positions", aSp.horizontalScrollPosition,aSp.verticalScrollPosition)
aSp.source = "menu9.swf";

My old iMac (screen sits on a white dome) opens with a tiny folder that flashes a question mark, instead of a login to user's desktop

My old iMac (screen sits on a white dome) opens with a tiny folder that flashes a question mark, instead of a login to user's desktop, when booting up after a forced shutdown. How do I get my operating system working again? Thanks --Jim

The blinking question mark indicates that the firmware could not find a valid Operating System on your machine.
Your harddrive may have failed. Your filesystem may have be come corrupted.
Try these things.
-- try to boot up from the installation disc.
The startup manager will list all of your bootable partitions then give you a choice of which to boot. Hold down the option key then power on. Continue holding down the option key until you see the startup manager. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd or disc. Click on right arrow key.
-- Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime.
Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
"The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

Folder w/flashing gray question mark

Hello,
I have tried every and all the suggestions given here for when all that shows is a folder with a flashing gray question mark. I was told that the reason for the flashing question mark is the hard drive is no longer working. I have a lot of things on my computer and would like to make a back up of them, before I have it repaired. Is there anything else I can try to be able to reboot it and get all my files out of there? I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you very much!

How to use FireWire target disk mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Disk_Mode
Can you or I be more specific?
I know how to set up to get to the T mode. What I'd like to know is, once I'm there, what is it that I'm supposed to do? And can I be more specific about what? I just looked at the disc I inserted to be able to startup, and it is Tiger. So the OS is Tiger and did have the computer partition. I had Tiger on one side and Leopard on the other. I know, it keeps getting more complicated as I go along. Thank you for the links.

White screen with a flashing folder & question mark

My IMac froze today and when I turned it off and then back on, it just sticks on a white screen with a flashing folder & question mark... Help?

Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Startup stuck on a Flashing Folder/Question Mark

Aloha,
I have been looking for a solution to my problem for several months now and have never found a solution.
One day my computer froze so I forced a shut down by holding the on/off button.
When I turned on the machine again the folder/question mark appeared.
I have tried all the hot keys.
Option-only shows the refresh and forward buttons but no options.
I thought my hard drive failed, so I bought a new one and installed it.
When I placed the OS DVD in to install a fresh copy I still got the flashing folder/question mark.
I don't know what to do, any suggestions?

I don't know how to get to the system preferences if i can't get past the flashing folder/question mark.
Correct you'll not be able to...
The question mark appears when the boot loader cannot find a valid OS system/partition.
Here is what I would try:
1. Boot from the OSX installer by inserting the disk into the Mac then power-off. Power-on the Mac and immediately press and hold the "C-key" until you get the installer Language screen. Select your language and continue. The next screen should be the Welcome screen, go to the top and select Utilities/Disk Utilities from the tool bar. Once Disk Utilities is open select your internal (if it appears) then select the first aid tab. In the first aid pane select to run "Repair disk". If "Repair Disk" results in errors then run it again until it reports no errors found. Once "Repair Disk" is complete with no errors then press and run "Repair Permissions". Once complete reboot to test the Mac.
2. If the above does not work then try booting with the Startup Manager, by pressing and holding the "option-key" during boot. The GUI Startup Manager will appear and you can select the drive you wish to boot from.
3. Alternately press the "X-key" during boot.
4. And lastly before we give you the bad news... make sure that the mouse or track-pad button is not being pressed or stuck during system boot.
If none of these works then you most likely have a bad drive. And you'll need to replace it. You do have a back up right?
Do you have another Mac, to use for troubleshooting?

Installed Leopard, boots sporadically - Flashing Folder / Question Mark

I have installed Leopard onto my PowerMac G4. It was working for a few months, now it won't boot up most of the time. I am getting the flashing folder/question mark when I turn the computer on.
This problem doesn't occur all of the time. I was messing around with the two internal hard drives, switching them around inside the machine, and whatever I did must have worked because the computer booted up just fine. All of my files were in tact and everything looked normal. This lasted for about a day. Now my computer is back to the flashing folder on startup.
What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Thanks for helping me, I really appreciate it.
It is the strangest thing. Sometimes it will recognize the hard drive and boot up normally. Other times it hangs on the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. And other times it doesn't recognize the drives at all and gives me the flashing folder. Same thing when I try holding down the option key and use the device manager. Sometimes it will see the drives, and other times it doesn't show anything.
I have replaced the hard drives, the hard drive cables and the PRAM battery. I am running out of ideas! Anything else that you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Flashing Folder/Question Mark on Startup

I have been having an issue with my machine for the past couple days, and cannot find the Install Disks to remedy this situation (my OSX 10.4.4 disks will not recognize), so ANY help would be appreciated.
I have been able to troubleshoot using FireWire target disk mode. I've run DiskUtility and DiskWarrior on this machine from another machine and everything checks out with the hard drive, but I keep getting the Flashing Folder/Question Mark on Startup. Safe boot (Shift key at startup AND Shift-Command-V) do not work. Resetting the NVRAM / PRAM does not work.
Suggestions?
I don't need the info on the machine, as I am trying to set this up fresh for my wife.

But I was going on the assumption, as it was an internal drive (not an external data only drive), he had an OS installed, since his problem seemed to be that out of the blue he was getting the flashing folder question mark on startup. He had written +"I have been having an issue with my machine for the past couple days...."+ implying that it had booted normally before that.
Anyway, you're probably right; I'm just puzzled: how would his once bootable OS disappear just like that? Obviously something I'm not understanding here.

Flashing folder question mark on boot

I started my computer today, and I hear this high-pitched noise and then clicking sounds. Then I see the flashing folder question mark. Could this be hard drive failure? Or is it the DNSChanger virus? I've tried to access the Recovery, but Command-R and the Option key don't work. When I use Option, all I see is a white screen with a pointer.

When I tried Option, it showed a white screen and the cursor.
That's the firmware driven, no drive means either OS X is fried and can't boot, or the drive is dead, or it may be that something is wrong with the Mac or a cable, which if the drive is still good, will work later or in a SATA to USB adpater on another Mac or PC with MacDrive installed. You won't know that unless it's pulled out of the machine.
When I tried to move the mouse (a wireless one, if that helps), it did not move.
Can't use a wireless mouse, as the drivers load with OS X and OS X isn't booting, use the wired one or the trackpad.

Flash Actionscript Photo Gallery question

So basically im putting together a little flash website and i
created a photo gallery and put it on a frame seperate from the
others and i want a button on the first frame to take you
automatically to the photo gallery. So i did and it worked. I also
created a little x-out button on the photo gallery so that when you
click it it takes you back to frame 1 [index]. And it also works
except the large thumbnails in my gallery follow it home and then
you just stuck with a big old unwanted picture on your homepage.
This is the code i put into the frame of the photo gallery::
Any Thoughts?

execute images.removeMovieClip(); when your x-out button is
clicked.
