I want my site to load different content depending on the time of the day, day of the year, holidays, etc.
Does anyone know how to do that in AS3?
I use CS5 Master Collection. Work mostly in Fl.
Hopefully this is a straight forward question but as far as resources when compiling a flash project is flash more cpu dependent or gpu dependent? Trying to spec out a machine and need to determine what flash is going to use more.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a flash project and wanted to rename an .as file. When I changed the name, the .swf breaks. Is there anyway I can remap the .as file to the .fla from CS5.5?
just wanted to know where is it preferred to keep your .as files? I've seen examples where people store them in a separate folder (ex. Actionscript/MainTimeline.as) but I've also seen examples where people just keep all the .as in their .fla file.

View 1 RepliesI wanted to create an application installer (per chapter) like the one implemented on the product on this site:[url]...i have no problem creating flash apps but i'm so lost on making installers , like update installers for the same app.. the idea is that on first installation of my app, other contents are not available until the user downloads it from my site and install it on their pc. and that installer will just update the existing one with the new downloaded content.
View 1 RepliesFor example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?

Kindly be informed I can't edit the source page (add param = wmode, value = transparent to the Flash object), only if there is any chance to make it possible in iframe or some JavaScript on my page, I have already tried allowtransparency="true" and background-color="transparent".

View 2 RepliesI'm working in an educational software, mostly developed using Flash AS3, and we have a chronometer which shows different values through different users. Example: Two users starting the chronometer at same time, but along some minutes of usage, they have different values.
The current implementation uses Timer class, causing this to happen, obviously due the different average speed of each computer.
Is it possible to preload content before a person looking at your site requests it, for instance when your website loads and is displayed other content and pages will start preloading in a certain order with out the website user knowing?
View 5 RepliesI've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play

I've got a Flash site that uses a loadvars object to load a csv file that I then parse into arrays. The swf works great locally and on two hosts I have tested it on. However, I can't get it to work on the host server I own (er..rent). The HTML file, swf and csv are all stored on the same level and I've even included a policy file just in case. Additionally, I have changed the path to the csv in the Flash file several times to see if that was the issue. I created a trace that indicates my data is loading, but the functionality isn't working, leading me to believe the parsing is at issue. Any ideas why this file would work fine on two other servers but bomb on a third?? I'm completely stumped.

I'm making a simple puzzle-building game. It's working, but I have just spotted an odd in-game behaviour...When I pick up a piece of the puzzle and move to the left side of the swf, the game runs at a playable frame rate. The farther I move the mouse to the right, the frame rate (or at least update rate) seems to drop.The only code it's running at that point is a method that checks which piece is carried and moves that piece's x and y coords to match the mouse.I've already tried using 'updateAfterEvent' with no change.
View 5 RepliesI'm building a Flex/AIR application that connects to a remote server, the URL of which changes depending on the environment (development/production, and possibly others). For now, this URL parameter is hardcoded in my root application MXML file but it means I have to change it everytime I build my app for a different environment.Is there a way to externalize such a parameter so that when Flash Builder automatically builds my app (in development mode), it uses the development URL
View 1 RepliesI have a function which makes the line size change dependent of the speed of the cursor. Faster movements = thicker line. It works as it should, but im trying to call it thru external Interface an a .Js. The line size changes but not when drawing, it looks like it bases the line size on the speed the cursor had before the mouseDown is fired. So it changes speed but not while drawing.

View 3 RepliesOn the website will be a downloadable file with a password.Since the beginning of the promotion there will be single letters added each hour. Probably only one visible at the time.Since this action takes place during weekend and i don't want to spend it in front of a computer updating the letters manually each hour i was wondering if there is a script which will do it for me.There is a restriction though - the whole password cannot be included in the swf file (obvious security reasons).
View 1 RepliesWe have a flash vector type map with pan and zoom ability and need to have layer1 which features a simple flash vector map visible from the initial overview until when the user has zoomed in to a certain amount when a more detailed layer2 flash vector map then appears and layer1 disappears. I would imagine a code turning off or on visibility of a layer dependent upon the zoom is what we need.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a type of mail form in AS2 of Flash CS4. I collect two variables (nameCli and messageCli) I setup a "sending button" to appear only when there is a minimum of characters (2) under nameCli AND a minimum of 10 characters in messageCli. When that button is pressed I POST these two vars tru email_lv to email2.php. I do this check to be absolutely sure that these vars have contents.
It works and tests well on several computers (PCs) under XP, Vista and 7.
I haven't tested on a Mac
Under IE and Firefox 3.0.xx
I get the email with the correct values.
The problem: somehow, now and then I get (and worse, my client, to whom I wrote this app, gets) an "empty" email. That is, the subject of these emails are: "Request from" and blank. No name. The message is also blank. Since I know, with no doubt that these vars have content, otherwise the send button wouldn't come up, I am puzzled. I have no idea of what OS or Browsers these users have. Would be possible that some browsers would "block" the vars sent via POST?
email_lv.sendAndLoad("email2.php",dummy_lv, "POST");
email2.php is:
<?php
$to = 'any@whomever.com';$to2 = 'another@whomever.com';
$subject= 'Request from ' . $_POST["nameCli"];
$message = $_POST["messageCli"];
$headers = 'From: WebSite@clientserver.com'. "
" . 'Reply-To: doNOTreply@clientserver.com'. "
" . 'X-M ailer: PHP/'.phpversion() ." ";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);mail($to2, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Flex's new States re-parents visual items that are marked with includeIn/excludeFrom. If I have a Group (MainGroup) with 5 children/elements that are state controlled, is there still a way to get a reference to MainGroup's children? mainGroup.numChildren and mainGroup.numElements don't work since the children are re-parented. At best, they show 1.
