Although I realize one should be able to filter a store to remove unwanted items in the list, this allows the list items through and just hides them via CSS.

This is an AS3 version of the banner template I created a while back in AS2. The code has been placed in the accompanying banner.as file, with the exception of a little bit of code within the dynamically-centering button you'll see placed on the stag...

This can be used instead of "trace" to populate a text field in addition to the standard trace output. The textfield stays hidden until a selected key combination is pressed, thus allowing you to use it in a staging or, if need be, a production envir...

A dynamic text field doesn't like to be set to bold (or italic, whatever). You can get around this issue by creating a text format in actionscript and setting that field's format to this newly-created one. This is only good for having a text field...

I copied this from my working example and tweaked some lines to make it generic. Thus there MAY be a typo which I haven't checked for, but probably not. This is what's needed to have something change upon selection of an item in a ComboBox.
