Changing the size of flash document from Javascript will be handy in many situations like creating Flash widgets like

News scroller
Flash Banners

..
In this article we are going to create that effect.
First we need to import necessary classes.
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
The next step is to align the stage to TOP LEFT and scalemode to no scale.
Means we are aligning the stage to topleft even if we resize it and not scaling the contents on resize
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
The final step is to add Event listener for stage resize
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, handleResize);
function handleResize(e:Event):void
{

Now we can create optimized Actionscript and flex code. Adobe has released FlexPMD to audit Actionscript (AS3) or Flex source.
FlexPMD uses a part of PMD, which used to analyse Java sources.
FlexPMD detects unused codes(like functions variables), inefficient code, complex loops..
FlexPMD can be invoked from
* The command line
* Maven
* Ant
* Automator on Mac OS X
* Eclipse new
* TextMate on Mac OS X new
* …

Today I came across the wonderful website(learningactionscript3.com) for actionscript,
I have taken the quiz section where we can see questions from chapters of the book Learning ActionScript3.0, It covers all the chapters from

ActionScript Overview,
Events,
Display List,
OOP,
Text,
Sound,
Video,
XML,
Advance Actionscript.

Below is the screenshot of the result.

From the result I need to concentrate in XML and Prgramming Design.
I encourage you people to participate in the Quiz and post me the Screenshot to publish here in the blog.
All the best guys…
