View 4 RepliesWould be of amjor benifit to learn the AS3 structure by way of Flex for the next verison of Flash? What I mean is, will Flash 9's AS be AS3 such as it is in Flex... and if so, would it be wise for me to familiarize myself with Flex's way of coding for that very reason?

View 10 RepliesWhat do you guys think is the best way to learn Actionscript is? I checked the sticky and the links, they are some good links, but I was wondering what is the best way to go about learning Actionscript. Repetition is probably a factor but should I go from tutorial to tutorial or go up in skill gradually?
View 6 RepliesWhat would be an advisable way to learn actionscript 3? Is it best to read up and experiment with the basics first or can you jump in at the deep end and try to do more complicated things with the help of forums? Are you going to learn much that way?
View 6 RepliesI had a complete interactive application built in ActionScript 2.0, and now need to revise and update it -- which means converting the old code to 3.0. The first scene is a preloader for the entire application that loads and intro animation before launching the application. I went to the help section figuring that once I had some actionScript in the file, I could delete and experiment with the code until I began to understand (I did take a semester long course in Java, but not much has been retained). If you couldn't tell already, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
I copied the ActionScript from the help section, and pasted it into my Flash document. I went to test movie and got the following error message: "1037: Packages cannot be nested" I can't even figure out what that means! I have nothing else in my document.

I don't seem to find any decent AS3 book for learning Object Oriented Design.
I checked several ones but most assume that you are an intermediate or advanced AS3 developer.One like AS3 Design & Patterns is good but starts simple and get really complicated quickly. Another 2 are Object Oriented AS3 and Advanced AS3 with design patterns is TOO ADVANCED. Now we have OOP books but not for the little guy with limited programming experience like me. What are my alternatives? A friend of mine told me get Head First Java and learn from there it explain Java but especially OOP for beginners. What do you guys think I should do? I feel it is a shame that I need to go to Java to learn OOP because AS3 books are not for beginners.
Does anyone have any links to tutorials where I could learn Actionscript 3.0?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to learn flash to learn times tables, so I want to almost but not quite repeat things. I haven't done programming since punch cards so all the "how to get from Actionscript 2 to 3" is less than helpful.I've got a Game Design book but I"m not finding how to simply copy a chunk of frames to repeat (and then change how it ends to take one answer off).
View 2 RepliesI am a Java developer. I am good at learning new languages but I can't make head or tail of AS3. It seems like a different mindset that I can't get into or something.Could you provide links a AS3 tutorials that explain everything well, preferable targeted for people who have already programmed?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a class to learn the in's and out's of AS II and i have stumpled into a bit of a problem i cannot resolve. Below is my class, the problem i am running into is on the monitorLoad() method... Take note of the traces, the first one gives me whatever i input into the class and the second one gets lost and traces undefined...so the problem I am running into has to do with where i create the empty movie clip....but i have no idea where i should create it in order to manipulate my loadBar_mov instance i will manually place on my stage...i realize using _root is not that dynamic and i probably should avoid it...but i dunno what else to do.

I'm looking for general recomendations and tutorials in regards to learning to integrate engines and library code into my projects. I think I have the very basics of AS3 sorted, or at least I know how to figure them out (alot due to this forum).

I have to learn flash player versions on 3 different computers and offcource their browsers
View 4 Replies1)create a page which contain a flash can be add text dynamiclly
2)make an element full screen in the web page
I found that I have to learn the actionscript to reach my requirement. However I have NEVER did the flash dev,and after googling I do not have a clear understanding of actionscript.
So I want to know some basic concepts:
1)what's the runtime environment of as?
We know the javascript run within the browser,but how about the as?
2)how about the run mechanism ?
For js,the browser download the xx.js to local,and run it.How about the as?Since I have download an actionscript example: but I do not find any xx.as,and just the xx.swf,and xx.fla,so is the xx.fla equal to the xx.js?
3)Should the actionscript be complied?
For js,answer is no. Everyone can see the source codes of the xx.js,but when I try to open the xx.fla with a text editor,I found it is a binary file.
4)how to get started with actionscript,I mean the dev environment.
For javascript,I need nothing,just learn the js Syntax,then open my favoriate text eidtor, then I can write a xx.js,and run it. But how about the actionscript? Since from google I heard people said the flex sdk is needed,I am not sure about their realationship.Also, Do I have to learn how to create the flash - xx.swf? what's the realationship between the actionscript and the flash file? Any populate tool?
I'm trying to setup a DataGrid that contains a column of combo boxes. The values of the combo boxes are defined by data specific to that row. I cannot get this to work though, I'm asking for a solution to this, either fixing what I have below or a recommendation on a different way.One of the columns of my DataGrid has an object derived from a ComboBox for an ItemEditor. The itemEditor is set like this:
<mx:DataGridColumn editorDataField="selectedItem" dataField="type" editable="true" >
<mx:itemEditor>
<mx:Component>

Does anyone know an Actionscript equivalent of the javascript getElementsByClassName.
What I would like to do is add a custom 'stylename' to various components which I can then use to get a collection of these objects and therefore process their visibility property.
The idea is I want to hide various components based on what roles a logged in user has - I just want to make this flexible by adding an array of rolenames to a custom property or use the stylename property on a Canvas or Panel etc.
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

View 1 RepliesI have a DataGrid in Flex, with one column a checkbox and another a numeric value. When the checkbox is clicked, the numeric value should change, either to 0 if the checkbox is unselected, or to a pre-defined minimum value if the checkbox is selected. Here is the code I have:
<mx:DataGrid x="0" y="45" width="272" height="525" dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true" editable="true" id="equipmentDG" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="" headerStyleName="gridheader" width="20" dataField="included" editorDataField="selected" rendererIsEditor="true">

The value updates in the data (I can see it when I close and open the dialog this is in), but it doesn't update instantly in the data grid. How can I make the value visibly change as soon as the checkbox is clicked?

I need to set a chart to start at midnight of the current day and end just before midnight of the next day
I'm trying to do something like this:minChartDate = currentDate.fullYear,currentDate.month,currentDate.date,0,0,0,0;
where currentDate:Date; is the day currently selected. I'm getting an implicit coercion error between the Number to Date type, as if currentDate.fullYear is a Date, but according to the documentation it should be a number. Or is my syntax defining this incorrect? Also wondering if there's a simpler way to get the min and max dates than this (the reason I am setting this is so that it starts at midnight rather than at the first data point in the series).
I'm also getting a weird error 'maximum' values of type Date cannot be represented in text.. it said I need a Date type object for the minimum and maximum so I'm really not sure what it's talking about...
I have a datagrid with an location and a list of activities Birdwatching, Boating, Camping. The datagrid is populated based on either a simple yes or no if the activity is offered at that location. I want to replace the yes / no with a separate image for each activity. I created a imagerender and I'm able to get the image to change but only to the birdwatching image. My question is, how can I get it to loop through that datagrid and display image according to the value?
