ActionScript 2.0 :: Check To See If Asset Is There Before LoadMovie?

Apr 10, 2010

I know just loading the movie and then using getBytesLoaded will check to see if it is actually loading, but I'd rather run of test of say, 10 assets to see which are present and then start loading them after I know which ones are there.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access To An External Asset Of An External Asset

Jan 21, 2010

I have an externally loaded swf that contains thumbnail movieclips. When a thumbnail is clicked an external image is loaded. I would like to be able to reposition this external image. I know I can use typecasting to control a movieclip of the swf but how do I control nested externally loaded files? I have a different approach that should work fine but I was just curious about my initial attempt.

Actionscript 3 :: Loading A SWC Asset By Variable Name?

May 23, 2011

I am trying to load assets from an SWC into a SWF at compile time, in as3. I'm getting the information about which assets to load from a JSON file. I can do so statically, but when I try to define the names dynamically, I'm running into problems. So for example I can do this:onemech[+ tmpObj.id] = new mech3 as MovieClip;And it loads the asset named mech3. But what I would like to be able to do is something like

var mechtype:String = "mech" + mechtypenumber;
onemech[+ tmpObj.id] = new mechtype as MovieClip;

Obviously, that doesn't work.I looked around a bit and I found this here, which seems to be angling toward what I need, but I can't figure out how to apply what's said there to my specific situation.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External Asset Package - Swf - Swc?

Aug 19, 2010

When I was building apps in as2 - my main method of project distribution was to create a bunch of different swfs, each representing, probably, a timeline, some code, and a set of graphical assets. Tho cumbersome, it meant that I could progressively load large chunks of the project as needed, at runtime.

Obviously - working in as3 - this changes a bit. My last project ended up being a bit too large, even when all assets had been optimized - mostly because I just embedded them in one swf and loaded it (kinda long load time). So - new project, wondering what solid methods are available for loading packages of external assets. I could, obviously, just load everything individually, but I would like class linkage and symbols already defined - rather than doing this manually for bitmaps.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Asset Without Flex?

Jun 28, 2011

I am trying to implement a card game using Flash Professional CS5. Since flex makes the final size bigger, I do not want to use Flex for now. I have some difficulties to bind code logic with assets. I have a Deck class and Card Class and 52 card images which are converted to movie clips.

Option 1: I can create linkage to those movie clips means that I will have 52 different classes for each card and I have to create 52 different classes to put my functionality for each card.However I do not want to create 52 classes so is there any other solution?

Option 2: I found embedding asset paths to classes in Flex like that;

Code:
[Embed(source="xxx")]
public var customClass:Class;

So is there a way to make it without using flex in action script code?

My MC has a specified width and height in the library. is it because of that or should i put it smaller.

ActionScript 2.0 :: External SWF With Asset Library Possible?

Oct 25, 2009

So I've seen many a tutorial on how to do this in AS3 but I'm trying to work out if there is a way to have all my assets for a game I'm making external, so they can be shared with a level editor that resides in a different .swf and won't be loaded twice.I spent a while looking and found out about Shared Libraries, which at first I thought would solve the problem, until you find out that you can't use attachMovie to attach anything to the stage at run-time if it is an imported object, which just sucks to be frank .So I then thought of a work-around for that by adding these shared objects inside a MovieClip that wasn't shared so I could add that from the stage and access the clip inside using the instance name that I would assign it. This worked fine until I remembered that I had was using several Bitmaps and the BitmapData class, hence if I placed these bitmaps in a MovieClip I can't even assign an instance name to access them to perform the code that I wish to on them.

Actionscript 3 :: FullScreen Flash Asset Dimensions

Jan 20, 2011

I'm creating a media player (mostly video but with some graphical interfaces) that has a full-screen mode. However, before going fullscreen it's relatively small (about 620x340) and going fullscreen would typically be about double the resolution. What is the best way to prepare the videos and assets in the file so they look good at fullscreen and at the smaller size? I want to also keep the file size to a minimum (within reason).

Flash - Asset Management In Adobe Air For 2D Game

Jun 1, 2011

I'm building an Adobe AIR application (2d platformer adventure game), utilizing the Flash Builder 4 IDE, which will be packaged on a CD for installation. I've embed the majority of the game assets into a static class to keep it simple and organized. This way I can reuse assets and swap them without much digging.

Example:
[Embed(source = "../data/gfx/spritesheets/boyHero.png")] public static var boyHero:Class;

In the early days of the projects, everything went to plan. However as the project has grown to be over 28MB, I've started to run into Out Of Memory errors. These occur when I add new assets, refactor for a while, or add new classes. Once I get this error, I can restart FB and then work for another 15-20 minutes. I've modified my .ini file bump up Flash Builder 4's memory allocation. It's currently set at:
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

While I'm at it, here are the specs/plug-ins that I've got installed:
Flash Builder v 4.0 (build 272416)
JNA Library 3.2.7
subclipse plugin 1.6.17
subversion client adapter 1.6.12
subversion JavaHL Native Lib 1.6.15
SVNKit lib 1.3.5.7406

Mac OSx v 10.6.7
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB DDR

My Questions:
1) Is the issue with the path that I've chosen for the way I'm handling in-game assets? I am streaming in some assets such as tutorial swfs which are loaded via the SWFLoader. I could go this route for all assets... but, should I? Is this the right way to handle a disk game? (The game runs without a hitch when installed on QA machines...)
2) Provided the embedding of static assets isn't an issue, Is this a FB4 bug? Where should I head for more information?

Flash - Rescale An Asset That's A Hierarchy Of Bitmaps?

ActionScript 3 :: Selecting Asset / UI Element Hidden Behind Another?

Feb 21, 2012

I have two or more graphic elements (bitmap, control) on stage. All of them are listening to mouse events. Some times they can be overlapped by other elements completely or partially. (think of scrambled pieces of jigsaw puzzle). When I click on an element, the click event should by passed on the element if there is something underneath it at that point. If there is nothing underneath the mouse point, the move event should trigger.

For example: Look at the boxes below. Say box A drawn with "=" sign is overlapping box B drawn with "-" sign. The collusion area is drawn with "#" sign. If the mouse is clicked on "#" area, then the event should trigger the box B's click event instead of the box "A" and respective events if the mouse is clicked on non colluding areas of A and B.
========
= =
= ####----
= #### -
====#### -
- -
- -
--------
I want to able to bypass all the element's mouse events until the element in the bottom has reached.

ActionScript 3.0 :: GUI And Game - Loading SWF And Passing Asset

May 12, 2011

I'm currently having a problem with preloading. What I have is:
1. Preloader -> an SWF preloader, made in Adobe Flash CS5
2. GUI -> an SWF file containing the user interface, made in Adobe Flash CS5
3. Game -> an SWF containing actual game logic, made in Flash Develop

The preloader SWF should preload both GUI and Game. I can do this, no problem. The problem however is: I need to be able to control the GUI from the Game. So how can I access the GUI from the Game? In particular the main movieclip in the GUI which contains every interface screen. How can a script inside a SWF communicate with another SWF (all in the same file)?

IDE :: Adding Loaded Asset To Display Hierarchy?

Apr 1, 2009

I have a class called Bike.as, linked to a movieClip in the library. The class essentially tweens a bike graphic across the stage. At the end of the tween, I instantiate a new class called Slideshow. Slideshow loads an image. The image loads(I get no loading error, and I can trace info about the loaded content)... I just can't seem to see it. In attempting to debug, I wrote the loading code(in Slideshow) into the Bike.as file(replaced the code that instantiates Slideshow), and it worked. Did it work because Bike is linked to a movieclip, and Slideshow is not(Slideshow is called in Bike.as)? I'm attempting to transition from AS2 to AS3. Here's my Slideshow class:

public class Slideshow extends Sprite {
private var container:Sprite;
private var loader:Loader;

Professional :: Command Line Build Asset Replacement?

Dec 27, 2010

Inherited some flash widgets that are developed in .fla format and exported to .swf apps, using Flash Pro CS5. I have only limited understanding of AS3 or 4, flex and flash in general, but I'm quickly becoming dangerous.

My bottom line problem is I need to find a command line tool to 'build' the .fla source into .swf entities.
q1: are there any cmd line tools with the Flash Pro CS5 for such purpose? I cant seem to find any, but I may not be looking at the right places.

I know there's such a thing as the Flex SDK, but what's under Flash CS5 at "Adobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationActionScript 3.0flex_sdk", doesn't seem to have anything useful in it, only a general flex library.

Another requirement I need to solve is to create customer specific, purpose built versions of the widget.
From the Flash IDE, I can figure out how to replace the background images, etc., but.q2: how can I do this at export/build time and later on, via the command line tool?
 
Basically, a build/compile directive in source would allow the swf builder to replace a given image asset with the version I intend to build with.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External SWF Asset Libraries - Most Efficient Method?

Jul 28, 2010

I haven't experimented with external SWF's purely as image/sound libraries etc. I generally embed assets and/or load in sound/textures/geometry etc dynamically.

However as I'm starting development on my first game, I would like to use an asset SWF per level, so all images, sounds, models etc are contained in this SWF, nice and clean, just one file loaded per level. No code, just assets.

Not only for the structure, but embedding transparent PNG's is very important, as obviously uncompressed PNG's are pretty hefty, and flash does a great job of it.

So for those with experience of asset SWFs, what do you think is the best method of loading/removing/accessing/managing them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Cross Domain Asset SWFs

Jun 2, 2011

Yet another irritating technical issue, it's the first time I've tried loading assets from another server and it's not working.

Apparently having the loader context check policy file does nothing with SWFs, I've tried with and without, no difference.

I've tried Security.allowDomain("*"); and loading a crossdomain.xml file where the assets are located, and no joy. Every time I try it, I just get an error trying to load a class (that works fine from local SWFs).

I'm compiling from CS5 with access network selected. Also tried with Flex, same thing.

Does The Video Asset For A Dreamweaver Flash Player Have To Be Relative To The Page

Jan 27, 2011

I have Dreamweaver CS5, and used the "Insert FLV" function to generate a flash video player. It creates a /Scripts directory with two files, swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf, and it also creates two .swfs in the directory the .html file is located, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and an .swf named after the skin (e.g. Clear_Skin_1.swf).

When I have Dreamweaver generate the html code for all this with a relative path, it works. When I give Dreamweaver an absolute path, it doesn't. You can see an example at www.youngstreetdesign.com/staging/flvtest/test.html.

The top is the relative, the second the absolute. The third is something unrelated.Dreamweaver says "enter relative or absolute path here" in the entry where you give it the video's path, and the documentation says that absolute paths should work, so, I'm at a loss.
