If you have ever used FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org; windows only), you are familiar with the GREAT code completion it provides. FB is lacking terribly, in comparison. So…let’s vote to build it up.

Yesterday I was pinged on IM by John Farrar about an issue he was having connecting Flex to ColdFusion on his new system. He’d done this many times before but hit a bump so we jumped on Adobe Connect and looked into it.
Let me start by saying the move to AIR 1.5 was NOT(!!!!) an easy task. For whatever reason my entire app acted different than it did in 1.0. I don’t know why but it did. Maybe it is more of a Flex 3.2 issue…not sure. Either way, I’m working through a ton of odd, post-upgrade bugs. One of them existed in an old version of the AIR Remote Updater classes. I almost scrapped it and wrote my own but figured I’d look into the source and see if it is an easy fix. Well, it was. It is a simple issue of a hard-coded namespace.
Ok…this was boggling for a minute but thanks to my good buddies Google and the public Flex bug system I found the problem. It was a tough search so I figured I’d post here to help.
This really would work in any language, heck even on paper, but the code will be AS3 so figured I’d label it an AS3 post. Short and sweet though…here is how you can round to the nearest number in ActionScript.
