			<description><![CDATA[This all about freedom. The freedom to make components that do what <span style="font-style:italic;">You</span> want for a change. The freedom to add a new feature whenever you need one. The freedom to use any development environment you want without compromise or sacrifice. The freedom to fly like an eagle. Well, maybe not, but that's up to you, isn't it? What we are going to do is make a slider component from scratch using 100% code.<br/>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/1100/1/Spell-Checker-for-Flash/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Yes, that's right - for Flash, not Flex. Adobe's beta project <a  href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/squiggly/" target="_blank">Squiggly</a> is in it's prerelease 6 version. I wanted to add this capability to a Flash project I was working on and had a hellva time finding out anything about using it in Flash. The official Squiggly page states: "While the included UI class requires the Flex SDK, the core spell checking engine can be used in pure Flash applications without any dependency on Flex packages." This gave me hope, and, as you may have suspected, I did finally find my way.<br/>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[AutoComplete for Flash]]></title>
			<link>http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/1091/1/AutoComplete-for-Flash/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Recently a client asked me if I could put together an AutoComplete feature as part of the Content Management System I am building for them using AS3. Google has made this feature very popular in recent times, and so I thought it would be an interesting exercise to do in Flash. First I poked around a bit to see who had done what with this concept and was surprised to find very little information. What I did find pertained to Flex, and while I also use Flex, I wanted to do this in pure AS3. So, I put on the coffee, sat down and thought out how to go about it.<br/> <br/>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/1035/1/Pagination-in-Flash---With-Page-Buttons/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In the first tutorial we used the number of items to move through the pages, and that works fine for small amounts of data, but what if you have hundreds of items to look through, or you are displaying pages of text, like a tutorial on ActionScript.org? In those cases it would be better to move through the data by page numbers, and that is what we are going to do here.<br/><br/>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The NextPrev tutorial deals with pagination in Flash, a situation I seem to run into more and more these days. My usual course of action was to serve up the data to a PHP/HTML page and let it deal with paginating the results. But Flash has so much more to offer than the traditional html page, that I decided to recreate the process in Flash, which is a bit ironic in these days of Mr Jobs pushing HTML5 to do everything Flash does, only better. The resulting code was a natural for a Class, or at least it was after I copied and pasted it into a few different projects. This tutorial started out to be of average length, but as I got into it, I realized that there is quite a bit going on in the demo file that really needs to be explained. I am always muttering about the author leaving unexplained the one part I really wanted to know about, so, not wanting to do that, it's a bit longer than usual.  And, if there are things I haven't explained to your personal satisfaction, my inBox is always open! <br/> <br/>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The InfoBox Class]]></title>
			<link>http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/1010/1/The-InfoBox-Class/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The InfoBox class creates a pop-up box which can contain an image, a title, a description and a link. It comes in handy in spots where you need to display additional information, but don't have the room, or don't want to dedicate the necessary space. With just a few lines of code, you can add it to any project.<br/>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a reusable class that you can drop into any project to pop up a word bubble containing some explanatory text, a warning, a reminder, whatever. It works like a tool tip for Flash. <br/>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Simple AS3/PHP Contact Form]]></title>
			<link>http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/997/1/Simple-AS3PHP-Contact-Form/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Every web site I design has one common element, and that is a Contact Form of one sort or another. After years of building and rebuilding contact forms, I finally got smart and put together a package with the core features common to every contact form I built. Now I can simply reshape this core into whatever it needs to be for the particular project I'm working on. This approach uses AS Classes. If you are not familiar with using classes, don't run away just yet. It will be a bit foreign to you, but I think you will soon see the advantages to working this way, and, like me, be glad you did.<br/>]]></description>
