Box2DFlashAS3 Without “b2″ Prefixes
Just refactored the Box2DFlashAS3 physics engine version 2.1a, removing the b2 prefixes to improve readability.
Of course in C++ (the original language in which Erin Catto wrote Box2D) it is probably practical to have unique class names, but since in AS3 we have a classpath, there really is no need to make class names more cryptical.
Get it here: Box2DFlashAS3 2.1a_refactored
Note that I just copied the package and only changed most of the class names, this means that the provided examples do not compile, you can still use them as a reference though.

Embedding Fonts in Flash Builder 4
Normally in as3 I would do it like this:
1 2 3 | [Embed(source="fontFile.ttf", fontName="MyFontName")] private var MyFont:Class; public var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("MyFontName"); |
But for some reason (I currently don’t care about), in Flex 4, the text doesn’t show up. So after some searching some forums, I found the solution: add embedAsCFF=false to the Embed tag. Because a TTF font in a TextField is not a CFF? Oh well..
1 2 3 | [Embed(source="fontFile.ttf", fontName="MyFontName", embedAsCFF=false)] public var MyFontClass:Class; public var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("MyFontName"); |
Currently Flash Builder 4 is still in development, so this could change in the future.
This is still the case in the release version.
