I’ve been coding ActionScript for quite some time, and have been doing it professionally for over 2 years… However i realize i miss some basic programming skills. Sure everything will work fine without them, but if i want to grow further i’ll have to master those skills. So i decided i’ll spend at least one hour each weekday actively learning new programming skills.

Some of the skills on my to do list are a couple of patterns i need to learn, there are some frameworks i want to learn how to work with. But also some even more basic things like regular expressions… Whenever i need them i bother some collegue or someone in my social network… I really should have learned this years ago so i’ll try to master the basics today so whenever i need them i’m be able to write them myself.

I’m lucky to have the Book “Advanced Actionscript 3 with Design Patterns” laying around, and the book dedicates an entire chapter to regular expressions, so studying that chapter should be enough.

Today i had to update an old Flash project, i changed the files, compiled it, worked fine but then when i uploaded i got the warning

“TweenLite warning: Your TweenLite class needs to be updated to work with OverwriteManager (or you may need to clear your ASO files). Please download and install the latest version from http://www.tweenlite.com.”

I do have the latest version so why the Error?

Turns out that when i created the project i used another TweenLite version, and when i updated the site online i uploaded the changed files, but not the preloader (which was still using the old TweenLite version).

As it turns out the two versions don’t work together, so if you update an old project and got a new TweenLite version… Make sure you update all the SWF files so the TweenLite version matches in all files.
