There are several flashbased painting/sketching online apps that allow multiple users to paint simultaneously. Some examples: [URL]For a project, we want to implement something similar. The question is, whether we need to start from scratch or whether there are any libraries available that could facilitate development (especially the networking part).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a multiuser (Flash Media Server 3 compatible) version of Pictionary in AS3.(Using Flash CS3).The part that is particularly confusing me is "how can I refresh the drawing on the screen of the user who is not currently drawing?"Looking at them both they are not drawing "real time" but instead refreshing the drawing every second or so. That would be fine for me... I just can't figure out how to share the drawing. (Essentially taking a snapshot of the current state of the drawing and sending it to the other players.)Currently I'm trying to send mouse position data to the SharedObject and then back to the drawing tool but this just creates a data lag and it doesn't show on the other player's screen.
View 2 RepliesI am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?
How can I make a Flash Application that can be shared? Shared in the sense of like a paint box. If someone is painting there then the painting must be shown to all users. This means each user can write and edit in the paint box at the same time..
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a drawing program in Flash 9 (AS3 ) which will allow the user to make their own caravan decking design. I'm having trouble getting it finished as I have only been working in Flash for about a week. Please see attached files.I think I'm on the right track, but heres 4 things I need to complete the work:
Add Object Focus: When the user moves the mouse over one of the decks I would like the decks border colour to change (0xFF0000) and to activate focus.
Add Object/Clone Copy: When the user starts to drag the deck and the deck has focus I would like the program to instantly clone that object to simulate the decks having an unlimited number.
Add Rotation: When the deck has focus I would like the registration point to be reset to the middle of the sprite. Currently I only have it working on one.
Add Collision Detection: I will have a basic drawing of a caravan in the middle of the screen and I wish for the deck to never go over the border of the caravan. When the user let's go of the mouse I would then like the collision detection to include both the attached deck and the caravan.
I have a drawing application likewhere the user can select a brush size to draw.I need a way to determine that all the surface has been drawn.

I need a custom multi-user multi-chatroom app to extend an existing Flex app that I have.

Are there any products (free or commercial) that provide multi-chatroom functionality from which I could start?
I know Sprite.graphics is pretty easy to use, but I was wondering if there is any ready made libraries for drawing, resizing, moving, layering, etc.. of various display elements? Also, stuff like tool selection, maybe some effects, premade shapes. Anything you would recommend?

View 9 RepliesI have this: [URL]. And would like to be able to stop drawing when dragging the added picture. The thing is, the drawing App is inside the fla. The Drag and Drop is an external class. What I think myself is I probably have to change the entire drawing code to an external class also, but then I'd still not know how to have those 2 classes communicate with each other.

View 1 RepliesI am using a custom Flex skin to create an active blur/frosted glass effect on the background of floating Panels, TitleWindows, and other containers (similar to http:url....). There is a background image in the Application skin, and potentially any number of other components above and below the active blur component. Here's some relevant code within the skin:
public static const BLUR_FILTER :BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(16, 16, BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
private var _bitmapFill :BitmapFill = new BitmapFill;
private var _matrix :Matrix = new Matrix;[code]....
Unfortunately, the performance of this when the component is being resized, and especially when moved, is poor. There is noticeable drag delay and overall slowdown, and this is with only one popped-up TitleWindow in the test application. There is especially poor performance when components inside the TitleWindow are changed (button hover states, etc.)I've attempted to optimized a little bit by avoiding reinstantiation of the blur filter, bitmap fill, and matrix, but this has had little or no effect. I removed the blur at one point, just drawing the Application to a bitmap, and the performance is still poor, so it's clear that it's mostly the BitmapData.draw() call.
I've read about using scrollRect and cacheAsBitmap, but I'm not sure where to apply these properties (or other optimizations I'm not aware of) within the Application or its components.
I am trying to make my flex app work on Android, and that involves making an AIR app to run on Android. Seeing as the flex app needs the mic, an AIR app is required. I am using flash builder 4.5 on win7 with air 2.6. The trouble seems to be that most of it is now not available. For example mx.containers is there, but not mx.containers.viewStack. I notice that there are obvious equivalents in spark for some components but not others. VBox, HBox, Canvas VDividedBox, AdvancedDataGrid and associated custom renderers are the components my application uses the most. What is the fastest way to make this work on Android, I am under time pressure. Is there a site somewhere that recommends the best way to do this, and what components can be replaced with which?

Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?

View 1 RepliesI have an AIR app that gets bundled with XML files that the app needs. These get put into the APP Storage Directory, of course. Works great.

It seems that if that directory is there from a previous install, the installer will ignore the part where it moves included files.

Currently i'm developing a facebooks apps with falsh application. i've have completed the development with all API required to run a facebook apps. Everything went well and it's live now. My question :

How can make user to go directly to the application page everytime they click the link posted by user who already use the application instead going to the canvas page applications. i'm been trying to look for the article that support saying that user will go directly to application directly to canvas application page instead of going to the application page.
I need to make my Flash application create a connection to a remote application and have the remote application send periodic updates to my Flash animation. The remote app is written in VB 6, and does not support XML sockets. However, I don't need the ability to send or receive XML since I am going to be overriding the onLoad() event anyway.
Or maybe I do need that ability... I'm having trouble getting my onLoad() event to trigger. Right now I'm just testing the onLoad event like this:
[code]...
So, basically I'm trying to find out how I can format the data I'm sending it so that the onLoad() event triggers. I've read that the XMLSocket object listens for the Null byte, so perhaps the data I'm sending it doesn't terminate properly. I need a persistent connection from Flash to the VB app because the VB app will be the one initiating the updates to the Flash application. Is the XMLSocket the way to go here, or is there another class of objects that I'm missing?
