Flex MultiLine FormItem

This is a very good control to break the form item label into multiple lines.

I found it from Google by Nick bilyk.

ActionScript 2 External Interface

Way — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:28:53 +0000

前幾日打算寫個flash button 點知office得flash 8, 要用actionscript 2 … 真係幾挑戰..因為自己未用過8 + as 2

當初諗住好似好簡單既野.. 用external interface call js 點知攪左好耐都唔得..

最後搵到個site 先幫到我..

要將 ExternalInterface.call(); 改做 flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(); 先用到.. 但係我真係唔明 =.=

唔通佢有兩個api 都係叫 ExternalInterface ?! 算啦…應該都唔會點用as 2 架啦..
