Fixes for Box2D compile errors, that I ran into:

PV3D official documentation, really nice:
http://papervision3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/as3/trunk/docs/index.html

After my testing, for what I’m trying to do, PV3D and Box2D do not provide the performance that I’m looking for, so fixing to try some other routes.

AS3 Frameworks

Just a list of frameworks for quick reference:

• http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/
• http://puremvc.org
• http://somerandomdude.com/projects/coordy/
• http://www.hypeframework.org/
• http://www.osflash.org/vegas

Maybe more to come.

Lazy man’s AS3 way of parsing URL variables.

Quick and easy:

I only needed what was at the ‘?’ and after so a bit of string manipulation and ding, it was done.

I’m sure there are better way’s of doing this, but this works for now.

Flash’s compiler error messages are such smart alecs

In an application with a ton of lines of code I get this compiler message:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Thanks, I guess.

Adobe, you wanna throw me a bone and fix that to actually say what the problem really is?

I did end up finding the problem, but that message from the compiler merited a blog post. Now get back to work.
