Free DOM or Freedom, (Free Document Object Model) is a web development technique used for creating event driven web applications. FreeDOM is designed to overcome the limitations of stateless HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) transmissions. It offers a new concept for creating binary persistent connections, allowing client and server to utilize memory and resources efficiently while communicating across TCP.
Freedom is designed to replace Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) by allowing async bidirectional event driven communication to the browser DOM (Document Object Model). Using the techniques will allow you to create webpages that act more like true software applications, increasing user interaction and usability.
FreeDOM uses common programming with Javascript and Flash to create a technique that is widely supported across many platforms including future web technologies to be released.
Actionscript is growing up, while this happen programming in a logical view is important. I will write about in this article one of the basic design pattern in use - Model View Controller.
I wanted to announce my api project I got its a simple class that gets all the basic listeners-*the list is small but might look like alot :)* And it will help you program faster it also manages movie clips for you so you can handle them with ease :) Its free and open to everyone :)
Finally after a few months I released v2.0 which has alot more features to my previous version such as one big aspect LOGIN! lol was a big issue this explains v2.0 and how to use :)
As you know flash doesn’t have threads. So if you want to have some commands that execute in time intervals you must use set Interval. But there is a problem. SetInterval a acts independently...
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a component with a live preview. It is help ful with components which does not have a view or components which starts with alpha zero. This is a powerful aspect of Flash programming.
In the last week I have viewed two posts from users asking how to make a set of buttons that have rollOver states that stay when the user clicks one of the buttons. Further, when another button is clicked they want the other buttons to go to the rollOff state while the button just clicked stays in the rollOver state.
This tutorial will show you how to work with flash to make an Online Game going using c++ and flash. Its really simple but you will need alot of flash experience this is not for the weak minded though I do provide help ill try to explain everything here.
"If you used MovieClip.loadMovie() or the MovieClipLoader class to load a movie clip, the contents of the SWF file are not duplicated. This means that you cannot save bandwidth by loading a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or SWF file and then duplicating the movie clip." Well that seems very limiting so what's the work-around? The BitmapData Object that was introduced in Flash 8. We load our JPEG using the MovieClipLoader Class, use the BitmapData Object to draw an instance of our image, remove the movieclip that our image was loading into and Flash has stored our image as a bitmap which can be used as many times as we like.
Assumed knowledge:Know how to create an FLV file, basic understanding of AS2 (including the use of listeners and classes, using components)
Overview
This tutorial will show how to create subtitles on-the-fly from content stored in XML format.It assumes that you know how to create an FLV (Flash Video) file.A sample FLV file is provided, along with sample subtitles, but you can also use your own if you wish.
What is JSON? JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a much
leaner alternative to loading XML data. For this example we will be loading JSON data in from some del.icio.us posts.

In this tutorial I show you how to use a Listener Object with your text fields to control focus automatically. This can have many applications, especially when developing massive apps like setup wizards, shopping carts, etc. OK, let's get to it.
This tutorial explains how to create an AS2.0 class which must be derived and contains partial implementation while enforcing specific and complete implementation by all deriving classes.
