I have a flash file which I want to loop, and have used this action on the last frame:
on(load) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Seems to work, but I need to convert the file to FLV and am losing the loop when I do this.

I need to move between (rotated) object in flex along x, y, or z as an independent observer. The movement relative to x, y works ok, but when I go along the z axis, the observer behaves as it was apart of the xyz system of the objects and doesn't go straightforward to the object but in diagonal for example. Here is some tryout code

is there a site out there that has a translation from all the common AS2 commands?I'm just learning AS3 now and i have no idea how to do the basic things such as _root.mc.loadMovie("asd.swf"); anymore
View 6 RepliesI've noticed a bit of discrepancy of using the public AS3 API for the GlowFilter strength property. All the others seem to make sense when comparing the visual effect using the Flash CS5 tool on a MovieClip. However the strength seems to baffle me. The API lists strength being a number from 0 to 255:
http:[url]..........How does a number between 0 and 255 translate to a number between 0 and 100% as listed in Flash CS5. In other words what would be the parameters I should use to repeat the same effect as this:
If I try to apply this using code this is what comes to mind for each of the properties:
blurX = 5blurY = 5color = 0xFF0000quality = BitmapFilterQuality.LOWstrength = 255
So does strength of 100% act the same as the max value of strength allowed by the API, which is 255? Here's what happens when you do this with this code:
clip_mc.filters = [ new GlowFilter(0xFF0000,
1,5,5,255,
BitmapFilterQuality.LOW,[code]............
When I test this I get different results. Here's the filter effect as applied at design time:And here's the filter effect applied dynamically using the GlowFilter class (see code above):
Notice the slight difference in the strength? How can we accurately replicate filters given these two strength scales? I need to apply a class to a load of MovieClip objects at run-time and don't want to have to go into the library and paste the filter preset 100+ times.
OK so inside one of my object classes i have this function

I want to make a language translation app, like google translate. I want to know if there are any libraries I could use to translate from one language to another like: spanish to english. I need to translate between the languages: spanish, english, italian, french & portuguese. Please tell me if its possible to import and use dictionaries to translate like, for example a spanish-english dictionary, for the above languages.
View 4 RepliesI have a MovieClip object, which is exported for actionscript (AS3) in an .swc file.When I place an instance of the clip on the stage without any modifications, it appears in the upper left corner, about half off stage (i.e. only the lower right quadrant of the object is visible). I understand that this is because the clip has a registration point which is not the upper left corner.If you call getBounds() on the movieclip you can get the bounds of the clip (presumably from the "point" that it's aligned on) which looks something like (left: -303, top: -100, right: 303, bottom: 100), you can subtract the left and top values from the clip x and y:[code]matrix has a tx value of 748 (half of stage height) ty value of 426 (Half of stage height)concatenatedMatrix has a tx value of 1699.5 and ty value of 967.75That's also obviously where the movieclip is getting positioned, but why? Where is this additional translation coming from?

translation API for Flash that can return multiple translations/definitions for a single word.
e.g.
fantasy = fantaisie, fantasme, imagination, cration
etc.
I've managed to find a few that do one word conversion. Including APIs that use Google Translate as a backend. But can't seem to get them to work so that they return alternative translations if available. The web-based PHP/JS/etc. APIs seem to offer this, but haven't found it in Actionscript yet.

View 1 RepliesI've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2). When I press the down button of both clips however it traces undefined though it's the same line. How does onPress mess up the targetting of both clips? [code]
View 6 RepliesI created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.

My primary movie clip is 1200 frames long and on the last frame I have a small action: gotoAndPlay(190) so that it will loop back to that spot upon reaching the end, It works very nicely. UNTIL, that is, I place the primary movie in a frame within a preloader. When placed in the preloader, the primary clip doesn't loop back to frame 190 anymore; the actionscript is lost.
I wanted a preloader so the area on the website dedicated to this flash file wouldn't appear blank as it loads. I found a tutorial online and followed it;

I'm working on an application that stores conferences with their start and end date. Up until now, I was developing in Belgium and my server is in France, so everything is in the same timezone, no problem. But today, I'm in San Francisco, my server is in France and I noticed I have a bug.I'm setting dates from a Flex client (ActionScript automatically adapts date display according to client local timezone, which is GMT-8 for me today. My server runs on Hibernate and MySQL in France (GMT+1). So when I look at my database using phpMyAdmin, I see a date set to "2010-06-07 00:00:01" but in my Flex client it displays "2010-06-06 15:00:01".
Ultimately, what I want is that the dates are displayed in the local timezone of the event, which is the date I set it to. So when I'm in Belgium and I set the start date of an event to be "2010-06-07 00:00:01" I want to retrieve it that way.But I'm lost as to what layer adapts what. Is timezone stored in DATETIME MySQL columns (I can't see it in MySQL)? Does Hibernate to anything to it when it transfers it to java.lang.Date that has Timezone information?
I know the title may be funny for you but I am actually facing it. My page has a checkbox and textbox. I have a flash control (not developed by and so I don't have it's code) and a button inside that control. When the button is clicked inside flash control it causes redirection(or may be postback) to the same page but the values typed the user in textbox and checkbox are no longer available. They are lost! How can I handle this stuff? I am pulling my hair apart. I don't even the source code of that control
View 3 RepliesI've got some lines of code to scroll a content-movieclip inside a mask:
ActionScript Code:
ratio:Number = (content_mc.height-mask_mc.height)/mask_mc.height;
var deltaScroll:Number = (this.thumb.y-oldPos)*ratio;
content_mc.y -= deltaScroll;
oldPos = thumb.y;
Now is the problem that at the bottom some pixels are getting lost. The content-movieclip isn't placed high enough so that the bottom pixels are not inside the mask (and therefore invisible). I think this is because ratio got a lot of decimals, and they are getting cut off in deltaScroll.
I'm trying to do mouse trails in Flash MX, but having some problems. Tutorials are a little unclear. Do you first place your image or text on the main timeline and then actionscript or do you create a movie button, script that and drag onto stage?
