I'd like to flash the targeted element for three times after it being scrolled into view. I've looked up in the documentation however didn't find anything about capturing events. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks.

Is it possible to add animation to Microsoft Access? What I am envisioning is that someone clicks a button on a form and an animation appears and then goes away. Kind of like how when Mario jumps and hits a block, a coin appears and disappears. I know its a very general question, but I couldn't find much online regarding this.
You can move a timer event or similar to adjust the top/left position of a control/picture.
But you wouldn't, as Access (VBA) is single-threaded meaning that while such animation goes on, nothing else will happen, effectively freezing your application. That is really annoying for the user, and that is one of the reasons you meet very little code in this area.
Yes, this is possible. You would basically be drawing and redrawing sprites at specific screen coordinates. It's horrendous in Access, it looks clunky and will kill your app. The reason you can't find much about it online is because it's a very bad idea to try to incorporate it into a database.
Even if you took a shortcut and had multiple GIFs made up (think of an old-school flip book animation), you still have to draw and redraw a bunch of controls. I suppose if you really wanted it you could add it, but I still think it'll drag and look clunky.
So I have two leavers/divs that i want people to be able slide with iPad/Android on website. At the moment I have tried jQuery UIs slider + touch punch to make it (it's basically slider with two handles) but seems I cannot move two handles simultaneously. With one handle at a time it works great but yes, I would need to have it so you move both handles with two fingers same time.
Is there better way to do this then jQuery UI's slider? I don't really need to get any values or anything from it. Just visual stuff. Could touchmove be option? Can I move div using it?
EDIT. hmm, is it even possible? I think iPad for example takes it always as pinch?
The idea is that there'll be a 3D animation looping (an idle character, probably rotating) and it will change to another animation when someone hovers the cursor over it (say, the character getting nervous), and another animation when clicked (say, the character startling). But if I use the old way of just changing the video it will look kind of weird because it will change drastically most of the time, how do I make this transition look good?
I'm kind of new to HTML so maybe it's easier than what I think, but I really have no idea of how to achieve this. Thank you in advance for your answers! :)
Two options, make it an actual 3d model (hard) or control the flow of the video and wait for the video to finish before showing the next part/animation. Going down that route would require you to use HTML5 video tags for the video and you would have to look into the javascript API it exposes to control it. It's not terribly hard, but too broad an interface to cover in this answer.
I am no expert in Flash, and I need some quick help here, without needing to learn everything from scratch.
Short story, I have to make a list where each cell contains an image, two labels, and a button.
List/Cell example:
img - label - label - button
img - label - label - button
As a Java-programmer, I have tried to quicly learn the syntax and visualness of Flash and AS3, but with no luck so far.
I have fairly understood the basics of movie clips etc.
I saw a tutorial on how to add a list, and add some text to it. So I dragged in a list, and in the code went list.addItem({label:"hello"}); , and that worked ofc. So i thought if I double-clicked the MC of the list, i would get to tweak some things. In there I have been wandering around different halls of cell-renderers etc.
I have now come to the point that I entered the CellRenderer_skinUp or something, and customized it to my liking. When this was done, I expected i could use list.addItem(); and get an empty "version" of my cell, with the img, labels and the button. But AS3 expects an input in addItem. From my object-oriented view, I am thinking that i have to create an object of the cell i have made, but i have no luck reaching it.. I tried to go
var test:CellRenderer = list.listItem;
list.addItem(test);
..But with no luck.
This is just for funsies, but I really want to make this work, however not so much that I am willing to read up on ALOT of Flash and AS3. I felt that I was closing in on the prize, but the compiler expected a semicolon after the variable (list.addItem({test:something});).
Note: If possible, I do NOT want this:
list.addItem({image:"src",label:"text",label"text",button:"text"});
Well.. It actually is what I want, but I would really like to custom-draw everything.
Does anyone get what I am trying to do, and has any answers for me? Am I approaching this the wrong way? I have searched the interwebs for custom list-cells, but with no luck.
Please, any guiding here is appreciated!

You could use a Datagrid as well, with each column pointing to the appropriate part of the data source (possibly even the same field, depending on what you're doing). You can then just use the ImageCell as the renderer for the second and third colums.
I think you're just not understanding that Adobe, in the own woolly-headed little way, is separating the Model from the View on your behalf. You hand the Model to the View and then get out of the way. The extent of what you can/should change is just telling it what renderer to pop your data into.
In fact, the fl.controls don't give you much control at all about how they work--I wouldn't go down the road of trying to create a custom itemRenderer with any signifcant functionality for them if you don't fully understand how the Display List works and if you're not comfortable digging around in the debugger and ferreting out all kinds of undocumented information.
For more details (to the extent anyone knows anything about how these work), see

Do you have the option to use the Flex Framework instead of pure Flash? It makes this kind of extension much more satisfying. It's aimed more at application developers, whereas Adobe sees Flash users more as designers.
I have a Flash Datagrid component being populated by data from Robotlegs services. However as the datagrid needs to show more and more rows of info I need to implement a way of loading the data as it is needed. Ideally this will be as the user scrolls down the list, I have seen this in Flex examples but I could do with a pure AS3 solution. Does anyone have any guidance or ideas how to approach this?
Here is the Flex example: http://www.jamesward.com/2010/10/11/data-paging-in-flex-4/
Any guidance would be appreciated.
I think you'll need to extend the Flash DG to use something like an AsyncListView and look at the AsyncListView to see how it does it, then write it to generate the correct events when an item isn't found, but remove any dependencies to Flex. You'll also need to do something that acts like the Responder class to support having different overlapping calls to the same service.
