ActionScript 1/2 :: Change The 'STRINGS' 'Stage Language' Programmatically?
Nov 3, 2011
I am using Flash CS5 as an AS2 and player 7 SWF output.I have a interface that needs to change to another language while the system still matches the users locale.The STRING panel has a "Stage language' combobox that allow me to change this during development.I have a 30 plus languages that are going to be using a series of Flash templates I am making for non-programming movie developers.I am setting it up to use internal language selector and hiding that in other uses and have external language selection change the language (Director, Authorware, other programs).(I will one day go to AS3 when I automate the development process for them)
i need help with Strings and URL variables.i created lot of languages in Strings panel (xml filesand folders created too).swf?lang=en.i need help with how to add this variable to as3 -using the strings panel from Flash.if .swf?lang=en - then selected language is english "en" write manually to browser if type "fr" like .swf?lang=fr.
I have one issue that i have one game in Russian language, and I want to change it in English so anyone can give me the easiest and informative solution to convert it in English.... or Can we use language interpreter in Flash?
I�m making a full Flash site, and it would be bilingual. I m making the text parts with external xml files. And I just want that only the text change when the site user changes the language.
I�ve found a great example here [URL], but it appears that only works great in one single SWF file.
What I want is that this function works in the whole site; at any time de site user could change the language for all the text contents.
I �ve the site with this organization:
1- there�s a main.swf with the menu about/services/etc�etc� and it �calls� about.swf, services.swf�. ;
2- the services.swf file contain a sub-menu serviceA, serviceB, serviceC� and serviceA calls serviceAdescription.xml, and so on�
And I want that the language switcher on the main.swf works for the various xml�s that are in different swf�s.
How can I do that?
Can I change the PhilFlash method to make it works to the all site? How?
Theres any tutorial that teaches something similar? Or any Flash component? Where?
i need to change the titles from English to spanish (Name, subject, message, submit and reset), i dont know which parts of the code i need to change.[URL]
I have a SWF with text embedded from an external .txt file. Is there a way I can have a different file used as the text source through the embedcode (swfObject) depending on the language?
There are four languages needed so far, but this will grow so it needs to be flexible enough to let the developers add languages without getting a new SWF each time.
I've uploaded a Chatango chat-box on a site of mine, and it worked fine, until I added <'param name="wmode" value=" transparent"/> to make the Chat-box transparent, because it fits nicer to my site. In that case, the browser would take as a default that my Keyboard is set to English, and so I cannot use some characters, while some others are switched, because I'm otherwise using a Slovenian keyboard setting. How do I make the chat-box transparent without the change in my Keyboard language?
Is it possible to change the language of display for the alert buttons. i.e whether YES,NO, CANCEL can be made to be shown in some language other than english? whether it is possible to the change the button's caption of a alert window based on multilingual operation?
I'm trying to programmatically print a movie clip to 8.5" x 11" plain paper regardless of the current paper size setting in the printer. e.g if the user's printer is currently set to use paper size A4, can I change the setting to Letter (8.5" x 11") from ActionScript at runtime? I use PrintJob class for printing the movieclip. According to the ActionScript online API spec [URL], I can only READ the paper size setting after the call to PrintJob.start. I can't believe that we are not allowed to change the setting.

How do you say or achieve container.child.source = image.png?
I have a hexagon map built by specifying width and height. I draw a wireframe and place a base image for each hex into a canvas. Next, the canvas listens for a mouse click. I then run a calculation to determine which hex the mouse click was closest to. My intent is to change the source of the image that the user clicked on.
I know that mapSlate.getChildByName(mapProperties[closestHex]['baseName']) is the intended hex but I can't quite get to the point of doing a .source as Flex doesn't know that the selected object is an image.
I have a comboBox component with a CHANGE event listener on it:
dd_chapter.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeFunction); function changeFunction(event:Event):void { trace("changed!"); }
I want to trigger that event programmatically when the comboBox first gets loaded with data. In AS 2, the syntax would be something like "dd_chapter.onChange();". How do I do it in AS 3?
And the result is: tooltipArray = ["tooltipProy", "tooltipAsig", "tooltipRota", "tooltipActi"]; which doesn't work because the array no longer contains references to MovieClips but strings
2. NOT surrounding the name of my movieclip with "" on (release) { _root.tooltipArray.push(tooltipProy); }
Which gives an undefined value
How can I "transform" the strings in the array to references to MovieClips?
i want to know whether its possible to change the local settings manager of flash programatically?. Earlier when the global settings manager was there i changed the settings by directly editing the .sol file? Will the same work now?
MIX-ActionScript is my FLASH scripting language developed to confuse a small tool that can be function names, object names, variable names, class names and there is virtually no sense to change the strings, and at the same time very similar to the same time, this confusion is irreversible .Confusion after the code will bring some resistance to anti-compiled for your application security to provide protection.MIX-AS functional and ActionScript Obfuscator similar, unfortunately, this tool has not been updated.[URL]..
Is it possible to programatically export the contents of the stage to a jpg format? The goal is generating a starfield from a Photoshop png object over a background created in Photoshop inspired by van gogh starry night, then the result is exported in jpg of select sizes 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1040. That can be downloaded from a browser or emailed for use as wallpaper
I'm using flash 5 to develop a dynamic banner. It loads a txt file in an single line text field that moves from right to left, similar an electronic bank display. What I need is to check when the last character of the text loaded gets out of the stage (-x), so I can send the text field to its original position simulating a continuous loop animation. (I could do this using flashMX cause the text field scales according to the text size but I have to use flash5 ).
I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code: var myArray = new Array(); myArray.push (Snivvle); myArray.push (Kirupa); myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
I've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
I am wondering if it's posible to set the backgroundcolor of the stage through as3 code.i am also wondering if it's possible to set the stage height and stage width through the code. for the application i wish to develop, the values of the stage color and the stage dimensions are provided by an XML file.
I have a shell SWF that contains two empty movie clips - one is the navStage and one is the contentStage. I am loading one SWF into the navStage and a default SWF into the contentStage.Now I'm trying to have a button in the navStage change the SWF loaded in the contentStage. I know in AS2 you could reference _root.[stage] to do this, but it seems to be trickier in AS3.[code]As you can see, I'm trying to unload the movie currently in the "contentStage" and load a new movie.I'm very new to this and am trying to convert an existing site from AS2 to AS3 that follows this basic principal.
Is it possable To change the scale mode of a swf in the html embed code?
my problem: I have the popular free flash game 'metal slug' as a swf, Its too large and wont resize as it was exported by who ever made it to preserve aspect ratio....
Ive been trying all day to get it to resize but it wont:
I want to read width and height from XML and then change the stage size based on these numbers in an EXE file of Flash. Imagine the main size of flash application is for example 1024 x786. I write a code which interact with user as touch screen and all startup data(like image file names and key coordination) come from an XML file. My problem is, for different PCs, I must set the size of application manually. Some touch screens have different ratios like 1280 * 400! The only way is set the stage size on startup the application butstage.staheWidthandstage.stageHeightdont change anything for me.
