ActionScript 2.0 :: CRITIQUE NEEDED On New Flash Site I Did
May 5, 2009
First, if I am doing a full flash site (like I did), what is the web standard now as far as load times? You see I have the site fully loading all content first, before the home page even shows. I have heard of dynamically loading content, for instance, different sections and subsections of the site, to be called on when clicked, as opposed to loading the whole site first.Now are there any benefits to dynamically loading sections as opposed to loading ALL of the content first? What is the pro standard? Is loadingsections/subsections/content dynamically something very easy to do, left for aprofessional, or left for a seasoned professional?Second, How important is the "title tag" in the html page that I am embedding the flash site in? I recently changed it from "Untitled", was leaving it as "Untitled" a rookie mistake?
Third, I have set up several email addresses for the client, including some web forms, that i used php file to send it to their email when they hit the send button; My question is...in the php file, I have it sending email to the client, and myself. I don't plan on reading their email, but thought I would effectively cc myself, for backup, in case something was wrong with their email, then I would have the client's email in case...so is that ethical or legal to do? What would web pro's do? I don't want to get in trouble, but I don't want to ask the client, because I don't think she will understand my reasoning.Lastly, if you were an instructor and I was your student that did the site I did as a final project, how would you grade it? Look at is as a critique of the site based on professional web standards and protocol so to speak.

I have a complete flash site thats approx 160kb in size. My client is complaining about the "flashing" preloaders. Since individually the movies are quite small they load quite fast on broadband, and thats exactly what happens, the preloaders blink for a second and presto, page loaded.
You think I should just load the movies into my main library and go for just one preloader at start?

I've extended Sprite to add some common functionality - this is a generic class I use in most of my real-world applications.Everything "works", but I'm curious if there's anything I'm doing that could be done better, or if there are common tasks that should be included that aren't, or if there are members that aren't really that handy and perhaps could be omitted.
For example, there are several members to handle display-list traversal - I've kind of gone back-and-forth on this, and various versions have had methods to remove all siblings, or retrieve an array of elderSiblings and youngerSiblings,etc,but that seemed a little overboard so have been removed.The offsetWidth and offsetHeight are inelegant at best (so clumsy in fact I'm really leaning toward removing them entirely), but AFAIK there's no other way to get back the "true" height/width of an object whose first child is not a position 0.Also I'm curious about the event management overrides. I've run these on several commercial applications and have found them both useful and without any obvious drawbacks, but have never seen anyone else do anything similar,

I'm using IE9 on a Windows 7 64bit machine. For testing, i've disabled my flash add-on in IE9. I expect IE9 to ask the user to install flash when it's required.
So does firefox and chrome, but IE9 does not do this for me.
Example: I go to this site [URL]
The only thing I get to see is a black screen with a small error icon on the top left of the screen. Here i expect IE9 to tell me that i need Flash and ask me to install it.

So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard spot. I have a stylesheet in my flash document, and if I use the command: story.embedFonts = true; the dynamic textfield does not appear. when I don't include it, it appears fine. the only problem is that I am designing the document to print using printjob(), and if I don't include the embedFonts, the textfield doesn't print.

In Flash you have the option to embed only certain unicode blocks of selected font. Those characters will then be available in your project.Which unicode block is needed to display certain latin-based language? It's obvious in cases like Greek or Hebrew but what latin extension do I need for German, Danish or Czech language?

Does anyone have any knowledge (preferably with links to make it official) about how/if Flash/Flex culls objects not in view, to stop them getting drawn when not needed? A specific cases: I have an 800x600 panel (a Canvas or Sprite, or other container) containing loads of Sprites representing individual game objects like asteroids or spaceships or missiles or map-tiles. The game world might be 5000x5000 so can I naively position Sprites anywhere in this range and let Flash cull them effectively? Or do I need to manage visibility somehow at a higher level (like manually removing them from the parent) to avoid performance issues?

I have a project both Flex and WWW and they are very closely connected. I want to put them both into into one SVN. I want to make revisions for changes that take place exactly both in flex and WWW at the same time. My question is that do I have to stick to "subclipse" (it would desynchronise changes for flex and WWW in one revision)? Would be possible to make revisions using only my tortoiseSVN without subclipse?

As usual, I am tired of constantly developing something, only to realize that someone out there has already created something identical to it, and often times much better.
In an effort to avoid keep reinventing the wheel, I ask you all: What coding is needed?
What libraries do not yet exist out there that you would like to see, or would like mixed together in one easy to use package?

When embedding an swf (which plays external FLVs), you have quite a bit of code generated for the HTML embed.

I'm currently having trouble with the file size of my latest project. This due to the file size of certain movie clips in my library. This obviously causes a long preloading time.
To get round this I thought I could load these movie cilps when I need them so the user can proceed normally until they appear. These movie clips have a linkage with 'Export for Actionscript' selected but I haven't selected 'Export in first frame' because I want to export it later when they're needed.
how to ignore loading these movie clips until I tell Flash I want them loading. Bearing in mind these aren't external .swf's.

I have a preloader that is not appearing until the movie has loaded 80% of its size. Until then all I get is a white screen. I have heard that it may have something to do classes and objects being exported/loaded on frame one before the preloader gets placed on screen. I have been into the publish flash settings and changed the Export classes on frame to 2, but it has'nt changed anything. The things I have importing is the caurina Tweener class and an XML file, both of which have been told to come into the movie after frame 1. Any graphics or movieclips are already on the stage after frame 1. All the code is contained within my stage, there are no external .as files.The code for the preloader im using has worked on a previous movie, here it is
stop();
//preloader
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);

I would like to attempt to accomplish the following using Flash:I have a graphic representation of an LCD screen. The screen represents a display used to control a machine. Think of it as a kind of calculator. There are numeric keypads (1 - 0) as well as "enter" and "cancel" and "up" and "down" arrows.The LCD screen is two lines by 20 characters.First; I want to display in the two lines the data that would be displayed on the actual device. I have 160 lines of data in an ascii text file.I want to be able to "import" the ascii text file into the two line display, and be able to "scroll" up and down using the arrow buttons. What want to accomplish is that if the data changes,I can simply update the text file that is called. I saw a similar flash application, but it used a slider thing. I don't want a slider. I want to be able to scroll lines of text into and out the two line display. That is the first part, anyway. The second part will be to be able to change the displayed number values with the number keypad and update the text file with the data. But for now, just to get the text file to display and buttons to make it scroll.

Like some others here, I am trying to write a music player that will play live stream (shoutcast mp3). I've tried both Flex (Flash Builder 4.5.1) and Flash CS5.5, it works great when I play the SWF on the PC, but when tranferred to the phone I hear nothing, although it is streaming, I assume that it is something to do with the permissions, but I'm not sure. The permissions I am using at the moment (for android) are as follows:

I have an app where a user puts in the required info into text inputs inside a titlewindow pop up and it sends the data entered into a datagrid. This first time when I call for the popup and enter info it works fine. Here's the problem: the next time I call the component pop up and click anywhere on the popup, including textInputs, the first the item in the array is automatically entered into the textInput where the user is supposed to enter the data themselves (BTW this textInput is also a autocomplete component).What I want is nothing to entered into textinput until the user inputs the data themselves. I've been tweaking with it for hours and im stumped. Here's the code: (this is main page)
