The old talk section of the site had a nice Flash form that allowed users to post simple text only questions to me. The great thing about that form was that it was done as a flash, and so, robots (spammers) could not post with it!
Well, now with this blog I have to deal with spam all the time, but, none the less, it has come to my attention that the Talk section was.. good. So, now, here is the new Talk to Tad category. You can post any brief ActionScript or related questions here. And I’ll try to answer them. Really it’s more for those who want to ask specific things about examples on this site.
For general questions on ActionScript, I would rather you go to actionscript.org or kirupa.com, you can find me there a lot as well.
If you have it handy, could you post an example of consuming web services? I’m an AC amateur. I have been able to figure out how to make HTTP POST request to a SOAP web service, but I get XML string back, and I’d really like to be able to simplify the part of parsing the result. So, maybe an example where a service returns string-serialized JSON object or something similar that won’t have to involve parsing XML.
Your articles are great. They helped me understand a lot of stuff. So, thanks for your time.
