Flash.utils - Details Adobe ActionScript 3 (AS3) API Reference
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/package.htm l
The documentation for setTimeout() is incorrect. It claims that...
If you do not call the clearTimeout() function to cancel the setTimeout() call, the object containing the set timeout closure function will not be garbage collected.
However at least in the current version of Flash, this is not correct. Once the closure has been executed the reference will be removed and the object may be garbage collected.

Condition - Adobe ActionScript 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/concurrent/Condit ion.html
Hi aligned2009,
I'm sorry that the description wasn't what you were hoping for.
I'm actually surprised by the sentence "the methods and properties only reflect inherited methods and properties." The .mutex and .isSupported property descriptions are pretty short, but the notify() and notifyAll() method descriptions are several paragraphs each. When I wrote these I was trying to keep them concise enough to be clear, but include all the details from my conversations with the engineers who worked on this API.
If I'm understanding correctly and you're only seeing inherited methods and properties, I wonder if a filter setting is preventing you from seeing some of the documentation. To check this look near the top of the page in the "Filters" section (you may have to expand it by clicking the tab in the center). Move your mouse over the word "Runtimes" then make sure "AIR 3.6 and earlier" and "Flash Player 11.6 and earlier" are selected.
Hopefully that fixes the problem and allows you to see the descriptions for the properties and methods at least. (Admittedly there's still no example...it's definitely something that could be useful but it's complicated enough that I haven't had a chance to make one yet.) -

ByteArray - Adobe ActionScript 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/ByteArray.h tml
I think the documentation needs to specify for each method whether it will change the position pointer or not. I have to find out the hard way that only the write methods move the position, while the Socket.read doesn't, nor the read methods. Basically, if you're using this class, don't rely on it; always set the position yourself. Also, I tried to optimize by reusing ByteArray, but not a good idea; always create new ByteArray.

I think there may be a typo:
dstPixel[x, y] = srcPixel[x + ((componentX(x, y) - 128) * scaleX) / 256, y + ((componentY(x, y) - 128) *scaleY) / 256)
shouldn't this be:
dstPixel[x, y] = srcPixel[x + ((componentX(x, y) - 128) * scaleX) / 128, y + ((componentY(x, y) - 128) *scaleY) / 128) -

File - Adobe ActionScript 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
The File.browseForOpen functionality worked correctly (as described in this reference) in AIR 3.5, however does not work as described in AIR 3.6 or AIR 3.7. It was possible (when working) to preload the File with a directory before calling the File.browseForOpen so the dialog box could be opened in a previously selected directory. Starting in AIR 3.6 this functionality no longer works. It opens in the last directory selected by the user, which may not be the desired location, thus requiring the user to manually navigate to the appropriate directory (assuming the user remembered where that directory was)!
Adobe has acknowledged the problem. It was identified as a high priority problem, but has since been reduced to medium priority for some reason. No workaround has been identified. -

MultitouchInputMode - Adobe ActionScript 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/ui/MultitouchInpu tMode.html
yes, touch devices work well with MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN.
and yes, you can have multiple buttons listening for mousedown events. and yes, those buttons can check for simultaneous mousedown events.
one way to check for simultaneous mousedown events (and there are better ways especially if there might be more than 2 simultaneous events to check) is to use:
var btnsDownA:Array = [];
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,btnDownF);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,btnUpF);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,btnDownF);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,btnUpF);
function btnDownF(e:MouseEvent):void}
if(btnsDownA.indexOf(e.currentTarget.name)==-1){
btnsDownA.push(e.currentTarget.name);
if(btnsDownA.length==2){
// do whatever - simultaneous mousedown events.
function btnUpF(e:MouseEvent):void}
if(btnsDownA.indexOf(e.currentTarget.name)>-1){
btnsDownA.splice(btnsDownA.indexOf(e.currentTarget.name),1);
