I'm trying to remove a movieClip using a var within the path but it's being read as the actual path and not as an expression. Example:
var OldPicClip = "Pic" + RoundCount; //RoundCount = 1, so in turn OldPicClip really equals Pic1.
_parent.Gallery.OldPicClip.removeMovieClip();

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....
the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Here's what i'm trying to do: Hide a MC depending on the path variable as:

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page. This works really well when the flash, xml file and html page are sitting together in the same directory.url...However, I want to display that same content in another page which is deeper inside the site but outside of the directory that houses the .swf and .xml files as well as the assets.[code]The js files are loading properly but the flash content is not, so I could use a little help getting that sorted out.

View 1 RepliesI am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

I have created a component (swc) that reads some Xml and stores away some values. Just trying the component out works very good and the XML is read correctly.The problem is that the XML-file read have the same name as the .swf that the component is loaded from. This wouldnt be a problem either if i stoped here and was using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL. And i realy need to get that name to know what XML to load and where its placed.The problem is that the .swf also is loaded inside another main-swf. The structurce look something like this [code]When using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL now i get the url to the mainSwf instead and cant find any way to get the name or path of Child1.swfChild1.swf and Child1.xml will be in subfolder to the mainSwf folder, the folder will have the same name (Child1)Soo my question is, is there any way of getting the Child1 path from the component? I should also say that the name Child1 can be anything since the folder and filestructure is generated from another application.

I'm not a flash dev, but I'm turning to it to try and meet a requirement. I'm to allow a user to select a file on their computer, then pass it to my web application. I know it's not possible to do this using Javascript, hence wanting to use flash.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that is primarily ASP.NET based. The main project is meant to be deployed to multiple locations for different clients, so one client might be located at website.com/client1 and another at website.com/client2. Within the application, we regularly use the application root operator ~ to get the path to a resource.
We also have a bunch of Flex applications that get deployed in there, and many rely on web services within the ASP.NET application. What I'm after is a way to reference the services relative to the application root. Here's an example of the location of some files for two client deployments:
[URL]
FlexApplication and webService are both exactly the same, so what I want to do is something like this in the Flex code:
var myService:CustomService = new CustomService(~/services/webService.asmx);
myService.callMethod("Test");
I would like to avoid using relative paths for the usual reasons. Is there a good way to do this or a good way to pass the root url to the flex application from ASP.NET?
I am having a hard time understanding the class path for custom classes. For example I created a folder called myapp and in this folder I have Main.as. In my flash file for the Document Class I put Main. But it can't find the Main.asSo in the flash preferences, Action Script, ActionScript 3 settings, I added a path "myapp". Is this the correct way to do this? It works but I don't know if it is correct.
