No, there is no separate “ActionScript Certification”. There is a separate certification for Flash Developers. But these are the only ones. By the way, Flex Certification covers major sections of ActionScript – so that will prove your talent

Hey, nice post. A side question: would you know by any chance if there’s an actionscript certification? I’ve been working with flex/actionscript for few months now, and I’m interested in not only getting flex certified, but also general actionscript certified…

Great example. This is the only one that is exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately, while I can run the example, I can’t get to the zip file to get the source. freehostia doesn’t seem to recognize your URL and throws me to the home page. Could you possibly host it somewhere else?

Hi Venkat,
Was the questions as silly as the mock ones given in the ACE pdf? Also , I saw a post from you on Flex india community group where you have mentioned the cost being Rs 2500. was it a typo or is it really that inexpensive? I thought it cost around Rs. 7500.

Thank you for a very helpful feature.

I know almost zero about GIF file formats, so this is probably my error, but I thought I’d pass it along in case there is some debugging to be done.

01. I found a gif file which looked pretty good, but did not really have the correct encoding for transparency, so the rotations were a bit ugly around the edges.

02. I found some old software from Jasc that supports creation of animatied gifs, so I used it to clean up the transparency problem. Now, however, the rotations, while clean around the edges, did not properly transit from image to image.

03. I found some code in your readHeader routine that relate to ‘dispose’ methodology. The first file — the one that sort of worked, but was ugly — had 8 frames all coded 1. The second file — the one with improper bitmap transitions was coded as dispose = 2 on the first 7 frames and 1 on the final frame.

04. Blindly knowing nothing, I forced your code to treat all 8 frames as dispose mode 2, and then the transitions were correct. I’m sure my ‘fix’ is not generically correct at all, but I think the use case with a dispose mode 1 at the end of previous dispose mode 2 frames will always fail because of some logic I swiftly passed by which carries the ending disposal mode forward to the start of the next loop.
