View 1 RepliesI'm testing some font embedding in Flex 4. Using the tutorial below (modified a bit), I'm loading in fonts via compiling CSS into SWFs. [URL] When I apply those styles to my Flex components all is well, however, I need to add an AS3 component to my Flex app. This component has some Flash text fields in it. The only way I know to embed fonts in AS3 is completely different and I believe requires another load. What I want to know is if there is any way that the text fields in my AS3 component can use the same styles and embedded fonts that the Flex components are using.

View 1 RepliesIsn't there some way to re-write the following code, such that I don't need a gigantic switch statement with every conceivable type? Also, if I can replace the switch statement with some way to dynamically create new controls, then I can make the code smaller, more direct, and don't have to anticipate the possibility of custom control types.Before:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical">

When I define custom propertie in my MXML component, I also want to define a set of possible values of that property to make Flex Builder show then (possible values of the custom property) when I invoke code completion function.

View 1 RepliesFor my AIR based application I am trying to create a custom component based on canvas which has an image (as shown below).
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100" height="100" cornerRadius="5" borderStyle="solid" borderThickness="2" dropShadowEnabled="true" borderColor="#EDEDE8" dropShadowColor="#dddddd" shadowDistance="5" shadowDirection="center">

As a work around, I am trying to add an creationComplete listener to the canvas in my custom component and used to give titleImage.source = this.path . keep changing the image or when the path of the image fetched using some async call.
im trying to figure out what is better for run-time, creating components in MXML or by SCRIPT?. I built an app that recieves data from a server without knowing how much data exactly. In worst case scenerio , ill need 10 LABELS and 2 DATAGROUPS.But i usually need something like 3 LABELS and 1 datagroup. what is better? creating all components in advance and than not include in layout the ones i dont need, or make some checks and then create only the components i need by script? I made some tests , but it wasnt really decisive, run-time was pretty much simillar.Im guessing it must be stated somewhere what is better. Does anyone have an answer for me?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a component with a variable/parameter that is a method it calls when (clicked on for example). In "Flash UI Components.fla" the they do this and I studied the code but cant get it to work. The Push Button one has a click handler, but the way it is actually called in the script is like this:
this.handlerObj[this.clickHandler](this);
That bracket/parenthesis thing is not working.
createClassObject returning null value when creating dynamic components. I am using the following code
[Code]...
this.mc is a movieclip which has the correct value during runtime but when i use createClassObject() with it its always returning null value.
I have the component dragged into my library. Also the code fails even when i am using mx.controls.Button instead of controls.PixtorieButton .
I have some simple function in Flex in which I would like to send one of my variables to all the components used in my app... The problem is that there is lots of components in my app, and I'm not sure how to reference to my component's id... Basically, is there an easier way to do this;
private function preloadStuff():void{
// populating of bulkLoader var
var preloaderItemsList:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(preloaderItems.children());
var item:XML;

I'm looking for a tool to create just the skins for different kinds of Flex 4 components.I'd like to be able to create the components myself and have the designer/artist do the skin, but I don't think they'd like the idea of doing them by writing MXML files.

Is there any opensourse, free set of components for creating Flex mxml graphs? like aviary Peacock style ones with at least Drag, drop, and connect generators so each graph element could have or something like that. Framework should be opensource (like GPL, LGPL etc) BTW: I found one wary bacic made by Erno Aapa with Degrafa but I would really love to see something much more Flex 4 - mxml oriented and frienfdly.
View 2 RepliesI'm new on FMS, but I've managed to create a web page with an embedded player that shows a live stream that I capture with a webcam and FMS. What I need is to be able to pause the live stream from the web page player and to play it again from the point I've paused it. I thought to stream a live video and save it to a file on the server as well, but I don't know how to tell the player to start from the end of the file rather than the begining of it. The client should connect to the page and see the live stream, but he can pause it and continue watching it later from that point, but if a different client connects, he should see the live stream.

I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a embedded language that can be used to script common code between a server app written in C# and a client app written in Flash/Actionscript. It is important that the embedded language interpreter run natively in the environment it is embedded into. For example, it cannot load any external C libraries (i.e. python, neko).
Does such a thing exist for these two languages? Perhaps there is some minimal interpreter that could be easily ported to both?

View 2 RepliesProject. To create a flash box that allows a visitor to enter 1) email 2) phone number 3) preferred method of contact. Then they can hit submit. That information is sent to a php which sends an email to the administrator letting them know to contact someone. Reason it is done in flash. I have a "tab" graphic appear and in the tab is the entry form. When they hit submit the information is sent and the tab lowers out of site then raises back up with a confirmation message that the message was sent.
Problem: The tabs work in annimation. I know that the code works to send information to php and that the php works to send the email. But, my issue is with the GUI. When the flash is rendered, the field boxes do not show up. See image below. Setup: To get the fields to move with the tab I have them as separate objects within the symbol of the tab that moves.
