View 1 RepliesWhat library/API or even a program for converting flash code into html 5 code automatically do you recommend me?
View 2 Repliesconverting the following code (i got from some site, i can't remember which) to on-frame code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
with (_root.player) {
// Controls Player Speed
[Code].....
Basically its a movement and hittest script for a maze. It works great but I need it running within an onEnterFrame in the frame code.
Currently the code is on a clip which contains the clip "walls". and player is on the _root timeline.
I'm looking for some help converting as3 code to pixelbender code in an attempt to improve the performance of my application. This as3 code goes as follows. I scan through the Number values of a bytearray in chunks. Lets say this chunk lenght was 100 numbers I read 2 numbers (left and right) and try find the maximum values. The numbers in my bytearray are PCM data so there is millions of them and this code can often take a long time to execute, especially on a low spec machine.
The whole aim of this is to render a waveform as quickly as possible. I know very little about pixel bender. I can basically make a new file and create a shaderJob of it in flash but I'm really uncertain how to approach this...

i have a .swf which i have downloaded on the internet it is a animation that i would very much like to have it in my .swf however, when i am loading it and trying to control the .swf i get a error code.TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@10d52701 to flash.display.MovieClip.
i searched the net for this error and it is because the .swf is compiled in as1/2 therefore i am unable to get it's "object" and control it.i have also decompiled the .swf and read the codes, but the codes are mostly done in as1/2 and i have no clue what it does, as i just started learning as3 , and have never touched as1/2.the below is the code decompiled, from what i understand it is used to "shift" the parts of the animation. which is a "fish" body part, to create a very smooth, swimming action. i have tried converting it to as3 code but i get errors where it cant find the variables.
function corps(objet)
{
i = 0;
for (;;) [code].............
Since Action Script is an interpreted language, and it is clear by decompiling animations that the code is still in there, is there any function that lists the code of a function or class as a string?asically, I want to create a suite of components for developers that lets them make modifications to or at least view the code behind a component while the animation is running, and that way make it easier to find bugs, instead of having to stop the animation, dig up the code for that class, and recompile it. It would be even handier if it was possible to edit code while the code was running, so the next time Flash encounters that code, it will instead run the new code. Yes, if used unwisely, that could cause a lot of problems, but the benefit outweighs the risk, and that feature is used in such development environments such as Visual Studio.
Likely, the only solution to that would be to give each class a "code" variable, likely a String. Then when the users click the button to view that certain source, it checks for the "code" variable and displays the contents. The problem is that you have to remember to update the variable each and every time Perhaps I can write an extension for FlashDevelop that does that automatically? It could just update that variable at compile time.
Are there any other swf to HTML converters, I know there is Wallaby and Swiffy from Google, but does anyone know any others, that support ActionScript. I want to convert a swf file to HTML, but the swf has some ActionScript (AS3) code inside it that is used to populate the swf. I want to be able to convert this into HTML and use JavaScript to populate the HTML version.

This will probably seem a moronic question, but I've only been using Actionscript for about a week... Either way, I've written a very long and complicated (8500 lines w/ autoformat) code for a game I've decided to program. The game is functional, the AI can respond to outside inputs etc, and I know reasonably well how to use SharedObjects.
What I'd now like to do is make a menu system surrounding my game that can pass variables in and out of this existing program. The program is currently in the shapely form of a Document Class, meaning the code runs on load. I'd prefer if there was a way to simple make the code run upon being called. How would I best do this? The only inputs presently used are keyboard inputs...
I have the following code for a game how can I extract pieces of the god for example the enemy and make it run as an external class as via seperate .as file?

I converted a .swf file into .fla file using Sothink SWF Decompiler. I can open the file with Adobe Flash Professional CS5, but I cant see the source code. The only thing that I see is the timeline layers. I want to change the background picture of the Flash and save it as .swf.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project that involves making a globe in flash which will have many particular points (all the worlds major cities by using their longitudes and latitudes). It's all 2D made to look 3D.To make the "Sphere," I put together some code that stacks a bunch of ovals that creates the illusion of space, ala the code below...
//AS3
function magicTrigFunctionX (pointRatio){
return Math.cos(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
}
[code]....
Now, my problem is that in order to assign the longitude and latitude information I need to be able to address each oval individually (not only which one, but also eventually the angle/radians of each oval for the latitude) and I've run into a snag...I don't know how or perhaps exactly what to do, because I know how to make it a symbol and class if the object was already made visually using the oval tool in the tool bar, but I can't figure out (after taking a bit of time looking up on how to use arrays and classes) how to do it in the AS3 code where I actually made the "sphere."
The problem is I've created a nice elastic menu which I want to use with the rest of my project, but the menu only works if I publish to Flash 5, but I need it to be Flash 6.I've attached the file, maybe someone who knows a bit more than me can spot the problem. The file menu works perfectly in Flash 5, so I'm assuming there's some deprecated in the code that doesn't work with 6.
View 1 RepliesI've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);
[Code]...
here's a part of my code:
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (enemy0.hitTest(this)) {
enemy0.speed = 0;
} else {
[code]...
Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
if (enemy1.hitTest(this)) {
enemy1.speed = 0;
} else {
enemy1.speed = 1;
}

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.
View 1 RepliesI have attached a simple test fla.I am trying to centralize my code in all my movies using dot notation instead of spreading my code all over the place. It never works, I must be doing something wrong.The test .fla has a movieclip with a timeline animation. I used the linkage identifier to name it 'reload' AND named the instance 'reload'.
_root.reload.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The pointer doesnt even change to a hand.
Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to convert some flv files to swf so I can place them on my online course. I'm working with Flash CS4. This is what I have done so far.
1) I embedded the flv files into a new project.
2) And then I just exported the file as a movie.
This worked well but only to an extent. There is about 10 seconds worth of dead time at the start of some of my videos, and they automatically loop themselves, when the loop feature is not on.
