I applied for a job there a couple of years ago and, despite employees giving me personal recommendations, I never heard back from their hiring manager. Oh well. I heard from a colleague of mine that interviewed with them that they give interviewees a series of coding tests [...]]]></description>

You&#039;re not sure why, but eventually you figure out that one of the values is NaN. The Flash runtime does absolutely nothing to help you solve this problem, but it really should. By contrast, if you try to run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have discovered a nasty bug with Flash CS5 and a TLF TextField in a loaded swf. If you use TLF Engine in a loaded swf, you cannot call a public function of a document class (runtime error function doesn&#039;t exist), you cannot cast the swf as its document class or cast it as an [...]]]></description>

Apple has always insisted on having a hardware monopoly, except for a brief period in the mid-1990s when they allowed clone-makers to compete with them, before subsequently putting them out of business. Macintosh hardware was, consequently, expensive. You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AS3&#039;s Socket class has a public property called timeout, and it doesn&#039;t work. The default value of timeout is 20000 milliseconds. Setting timeout to any other value doesn&#039;t change the 20000 millisecond timeout. You can confirm this easily by attempting to connect to a Socket that doesn&#039;t respond. It will always take 20000 milliseconds for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maximized AIR windows on Windows XP are positioned at -4,-4 and the width and height add 8 pixels to compensate. On Windows 7, this is doubled, so the position is -8,-8 and the width and height add 16 pixels to compensate. This works fine with transparent AIR windows. Note: This behavior is not documented, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Adobe AIR, I recently had to change from using a transparent window to a non-transparent one, and I&#039;ve never really worked with non-transparent windows without system chrome. Doing so has created a very painful situation due to AIR&#039;s redraw bugs on Windows when using non-transparent windows. Transparency performance on Windows is bad, but it&#039;s [...]]]></description>
