I am trying to edit a flash file that was done in MX. I only have CS5. When i open the file, save and export there is a slight problem. Once published and uploaded, a dynamic text box which is meant to load text from the CMS appears blank. Is there something which can be lost in translation when saving from MX to CS5?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a draft program for fantasy league football that will be viewed on an external monitor by all of the participants.The program will have all of the "draftable" players.I want to be able to click on the player (or drag) and have that player show up in the participants picked box while deleting (or changing the properties) of the player.
Questions: 1. Should I use variables and arrays for all of the draftable players to accomplish this or would it be easier to just use combo boxes? Mind you that there are about 250 draftable players.
2.Should I have a seperate mc for all of the draftable positions and all of the participants.

Code:
quarterbacks = newArray
line[0] = "1. Donovan Mcnabb";
line[1] = "2. Rich Gannon";
How do I get a hard return in the above sample?
4.How do I dynamically put the picks in the participants draft box?
What does work : I want to put a dynamic textfield on my stage.Then i change the content of this field with AS3.But : when I rate the textfield on my stage, the text disappears.And I have embedded my font (also 'Export for actionscript')...I prefer not to put any textfields on the stage using ASSo the only code I use is : ActionScript Code:this.trial.text = "this is a test";

I created a FLASH header for a website. My client wants me to remove a small line of text from it, but I no longer have the original .fla file. The text is over a simple gradient background, and I could probably just cover the text with a color rectangle.

View 1 RepliesI've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2). When I press the down button of both clips however it traces undefined though it's the same line. How does onPress mess up the targetting of both clips? [code]
View 6 RepliesI created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.
View 2 RepliesMy problem is that my old computer *exploded* last week and i was making a project for my dad so I lost my (.fla) file. But, I have an animation of that same project in (.swf) on my USB Key because I've exported it just before my computer crash just to watch what It was looking like. So my question is, is it possible to open my (.swf) in Flash Pro and get all my snippet code back and all my frame back and everything else (like if it was my (.fla) project?)

I have a flash file which I want to loop, and have used this action on the last frame:
on(load) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Seems to work, but I need to convert the file to FLV and am losing the loop when I do this.
My primary movie clip is 1200 frames long and on the last frame I have a small action: gotoAndPlay(190) so that it will loop back to that spot upon reaching the end, It works very nicely. UNTIL, that is, I place the primary movie in a frame within a preloader. When placed in the preloader, the primary clip doesn't loop back to frame 190 anymore; the actionscript is lost.
I wanted a preloader so the area on the website dedicated to this flash file wouldn't appear blank as it loads. I found a tutorial online and followed it;

View 1 RepliesI have a MainClass on a FLA file that defines both public, private, statics or not, properties and methods.I also have a package named 'components' that stocks Sprite sub-classes for my movie exportable clips.

I'm working on an application that stores conferences with their start and end date. Up until now, I was developing in Belgium and my server is in France, so everything is in the same timezone, no problem. But today, I'm in San Francisco, my server is in France and I noticed I have a bug.I'm setting dates from a Flex client (ActionScript automatically adapts date display according to client local timezone, which is GMT-8 for me today. My server runs on Hibernate and MySQL in France (GMT+1). So when I look at my database using phpMyAdmin, I see a date set to "2010-06-07 00:00:01" but in my Flex client it displays "2010-06-06 15:00:01".
Ultimately, what I want is that the dates are displayed in the local timezone of the event, which is the date I set it to. So when I'm in Belgium and I set the start date of an event to be "2010-06-07 00:00:01" I want to retrieve it that way.But I'm lost as to what layer adapts what. Is timezone stored in DATETIME MySQL columns (I can't see it in MySQL)? Does Hibernate to anything to it when it transfers it to java.lang.Date that has Timezone information?
I know the title may be funny for you but I am actually facing it. My page has a checkbox and textbox. I have a flash control (not developed by and so I don't have it's code) and a button inside that control. When the button is clicked inside flash control it causes redirection(or may be postback) to the same page but the values typed the user in textbox and checkbox are no longer available. They are lost! How can I handle this stuff? I am pulling my hair apart. I don't even the source code of that control

I've got some lines of code to scroll a content-movieclip inside a mask:
ActionScript Code:
ratio:Number = (content_mc.height-mask_mc.height)/mask_mc.height;
var deltaScroll:Number = (this.thumb.y-oldPos)*ratio;
content_mc.y -= deltaScroll;
oldPos = thumb.y;
Now is the problem that at the bottom some pixels are getting lost. The content-movieclip isn't placed high enough so that the bottom pixels are not inside the mask (and therefore invisible). I think this is because ratio got a lot of decimals, and they are getting cut off in deltaScroll.
I'm trying to do mouse trails in Flash MX, but having some problems. Tutorials are a little unclear. Do you first place your image or text on the main timeline and then actionscript or do you create a movie button, script that and drag onto stage?
View 5 RepliesCode:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
#include "mc_tween2.as"
MovieClip.prototype.checkMe = function() {[code]....
the mc_bg is my little bg on stage which on btn press it resizes, the resize tween works great however the btn_mc4 on release doesn't bring my mc_bg back to 100% am I missing something?
Inside a main MC, I added 2 keyframes. On each, I added an empty movieClip with the SAME name "texture" and from the same lib instance. On the first, .y = 10 + dispatchEvent(new Event("ressourceReady",true)); + stop(); and on the second frame, .y = 100. Super !
Now in my AS file, I wait for the dispatched event to launch the init process. Ok, everything is fine, I receive the event and I can access to "texture". Inside my class, when I receive the event, I wrote : _texture = e.currentTarget.texture; It's ok, I can access to the MC properties, set a texture, everything is fine.
Now, the problem. I send the timeline on the 2nd frame. Remember that my "texture" is set to ".y = 100" ? No !!! It is at 10 !!! What the.. So I add a trace on the 2nd frame to check the .y property... damn it's really = 10. That MC is now unsync with the timeline !?
I've tried many tricks. The first one is to add an empty keyframe between the first and the second frame. (so i got a total of 3 frames). It seems to work well. The second idea is to rename "texture" by "texture2" only on the 2nd frame but it's not clean at all.

View 3 RepliesBasically what is happening is that my Flash client claims that it is calling functions that don't arrive at the server or they arrive, but the socket data is out of order and therefore is garbled.In particular, there's class I have called RPCSocket that extends the AS3 Socket class so I can serialize data structures before sending them across a socket.At one point, this RPCSocket class calls super.writeBytes and super.Flush. It is the point at which I send all data out of my client. The data is binary data in AMF3 format.[code]Can someone recommend a way for me to store without corruption, conversion, or filtering or translation of any kind *all* of the information sent across this socket? I'd like to write it to a file. I'm guessing that keep a global ByteArray var and storing the info there might work, but I'm wondering how I might get the contents of that ByteArray into a file so I can inspect it.Also, I'm wondering if I might be able to inspect what flash actually sends out on the socket? I have a sneaking suspicion that data I supply to super.writeBytes may be sent out of order or may not actually get sent across the socket. This bug I'm talking about only seems to happen under high-stress situations when I'm sending dozens of messages per second across this one socket.
View 4 RepliesI have an AS 3 class that extends UIComponent. In that class I dynamically add several sprites, that are also AS 3 classes that
extend from Sprite.So, in my UIComponent extended class, I added these listeners:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onMouseMoveHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,mouseUpHandler);
I added trace messages inside each of these event handler functions. The problem is that, whenever I try to dispatch these events starting from one of the children sprites from the UIComponent (let's say I click one of the sprites and the mouseDown event starts) the sequence works perfect. However when I try to do the same in the "blank" area of the UIComponent (which is just a
graphics.beginFill(0xffffff);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,this.width,this.height);
.graphics.endFill();) nothing happens. The events are never
"listen" by the UIComponent.
Actually if I run the app and click on the white area, the trace messages are ok, it triggers the mouseDown event, but only one time. I a click again, nothing happens.I tried adding another sprite, to have this one holding all the other sprites, and tried to add the listeners to it...same effect. I can't get that UIComponent to listen and react, only it's children sprites...
What I'm trying to implement at the end is a multiple drag selection of the children items of the UIComponent, but I have to be able to start the drag selection from any point in the screen.
