Adding Icons to a List Component

I haven't done too much with Flash Communication Server, but I had fun on a project building a chat application without using the built-in components.

One of the requests I had was to have an icon of sorts appear next to a moderators name in a list component that was logged into the chat.

So a little trial and error eventually lead me to search online and finally came to the code below:

Create a list called myList;

Create a MovieClip and make sure the linkage ID is named "myIcon"

Cut and paste the following code:

myData = [{label:"Label1",data:"Data1",icon:"myIcon"}];
myList.iconField = "icon";
myList.dataProvider = myData;

FLV and Keyframes

So I was working on a project that involved encoding some quicktime movies to FLV. No big deal except that the FLV's had to be progressive and when I built my FLV viewer using the NetStream object, I could not for the life of me figure out why everything worked great with the exception of my seek bar to scrub the downloaded portion of the movie.

Apparently, when working with progressive FLV's, it's best to encode them with a frequent keyframe rate so that a seek control will work well.

Wonder where that was in the documentation ;)

Thanks to PixelFumes for letting me in on that.
