If you ever need to get an array of the elements in a flex 4 (spark) container you usually need to loop through it, using the numElements value for the container.
However this little “hack” retieves the internal array of elements:
“container” is the id of the spark container.
container.mx_internal::getMXMLContent();
Grant skinner released EaselJS v0.2 HTML5 Canvas
0500 days
Grant skinner has released a new version of his html 5 canvas JS library.
Using The library is much like programming AS3, using the same name convention as the “drawing api” so there are DisplayObject, Graphics, Shape. U put stuff on “stage” by using addChild and removing with removeChild. Very similar to as3, making js programming to html5 canvas very easy for a as3 developer.
Very promising project.
