Having worked in Director using Lingo, I am wondering if Flash has a RandomSeed equivalent in ActionScript? For those of you not familiar with RandomSeed, it is the number that allows the computer to come up with 'random' numbers. By setting this number you can then get predictable results everytime. It can be very useful.

View 1 RepliesI wish to use Stage3D and Context3D in ActionScript. For that I need to download the beta version of Flash Player 11. However, I can't find the equivalent Flash Builder SDK with the mxmlc executable that can compile ActionScript into Flash 11 capable Shockwave Flash files. Any clue as to where I may download it from?

Is there an equivalent of php's array_flip() in flash actionscript 3? Here's the definition for array_flip:
array_flip() returns an array in flip order, i.e. keys from trans become values and values from trans become keys.
If not, what is the least verbose and most efficient way to achieve the same results as array_flip() in actionscript 3?
In the .NET world order, companies like Telerik provide awesome sets of components for web/windows/silverlight. Who are the equivalents in the Flex/Flash universe? I see lots of sites filled with little 10/20 dollar menu components or uploaders, but I'm really looking to find something a step above that.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for Google Adsense alternatives for a long-running Flash/Silverlight applications. It doesn't necessarily need to be hosted directly in Flash/Silverlight (although this would be sweet) but I cannot use Google Adsense because:a) by default Google Adsense requires ads to be opened in the same browser window which involves navigating away from the page with the application. Since the application is relatively self-contained entity (a kind of an image editor) closing it is not acceptable behaviour. Altering this behaviour in Google Adsense will breach its Terms and Conditions.b) Pages are not reloaded often. Once the user starts using Flash/Silverlight application she/he will stay on the same page for a relatively long period of time. It would be nice if an advertising component be able to automatically reload its content every few minutes.
View 1 RepliesI use the HTTPService() method to post a variable value to a SQL Server database. The suggestion came from someone with some past experience in Flash but nothing specifically related to posting variables to a database.
This person sent me the following code snippet that he found in a Flex forum (and changed a bit), with a suggestion that maybe it will work with a bit of massaging.
PHP Code:
private function start():void {
service = new HTTPService();
service.url = "http://webServer.aspx";
[code]....
My biggest problem is that I'm using Flash instead of Flex. What is the Flash (non-Flex) equivalent of HTTPService() method in the following code snippet?

View 1 RepliesI've noticed there is something in AS3 that allows "shearing or skewing" of an object, but I was wondering if it's possible to do the equivalent of what Photoshop refers to as "transform>>perspective"
View 2 RepliesI've been using Adobe Flash CS3 & CS4, and I still find it ridiculously hard to navigate around that Program sometimes, mainly when I have to deal with a Pre-made Flash website that needs Editing.Allot of people Label layers, Symbols, etc... poorly, so it's hard to find your way around.I would like to know if these is any Equivalent of "Show Transform Controls" (from Adobe Photoshop), in Adobe Flash CS4
I have loads of Layers to deal with, and the only way I can get to edit the Layer, is by double clicking on them, then I go to it's timeline and settings.Most of the times I can't even see some of these Layers/Buttons, as they appear invisible on the Stage/Preview Screen.How can I more easily Work with my Layers in Flash CS4?It would be allot easier, if I could click on the Layer in the Pallet, and see an outline of where it is on the Stage.Or if I could edit the settings of a Layer, by clicking something in the Layers Palette.
I am also trying to figure out how I can change the color of an image to Black/White, I only know how to do this with the Motion Tween Option, that gradually changes the color over those given seconds. I don't want an animation, just permanent color change.Also when I am moving a Object in one layer,when I exit and view a different layer, I see that the "Shared" object also moved there too, which I do not want.Is there any way to unlink these by chance?
Is there any equivalent to a Flash projector for iPhone? Flash projectors basically seem to package script and Flash libraries into one executable file that can be run on a PC. I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar thing for iPhone where I can take my existing code and package it with the necessary iPhone stuff to make a PC executable. Of course hardware-specific things would not be available like accelerometer/phone/gps, etc. but I don't need any of those. If not, is there anyone currently attempting this?

View 4 RepliesA question for Mac developers - which ActionScript IDE do you prefer? I've loved FlashDevelop on the PC, but can't find the equivalent on the Mac which:
is freehas code completion
The options I know about: TextMate - isn't free. it doesn't seem to have code completion...SE|PY - can't seem to get it to work on Snow Leopard, and I notice that the website doesn't seem to have been updated in four years...Flash Builder - isn't free(although I'm looking into installing Eclipse with Flex SDK), and I always preferred FlashDevelop for elegance and speed as an AS IDE anyway.my next last resort option is to look into running windows on the mac..

View 1 RepliesI'm setting up a multi-lesson game and using it also as an opportunity to make the switch from AS2 to AS3. It's been a bumpy road but I'm getting it but think I've hit a roadblock.Is there an equivalent to the "loadMovieNum()" parameter from AS2? I have been merrily building all the individual games assuming I'd just swap them in and out of the same level so they purge each other as we go.
View 2 RepliesIs there are a sizeof equivalent in AS3?
Second, but similar, I have a 2D array that contains only 0's or 1's. The smallest data type in AS3 seems to be Boolean (or Int or unit) which is 32bits (4bytes).
So if my array, which was say 10 x 10 in size, each containing an int to represent the 0 or 1, the array would be 400bytes (10*10 * 4bytes). This is an assumption, as I don't know how to get the size at run time.
BUT I have written code to convert arrays of 0's and 1's into an int (and vice versa) so instead of storing an array like this [ [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1], [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0] ], it would be represented like this [255, 2]. [code]...
I've got a button on screen and behind it a slideshow rotating images with a fade transition from one to the next. What I'm trying to figure out is when you MouseOver the button... the slideshow stops. When you MouseOut, the slideshow picks up where it left off. Seems simple enough, but I can't seem to get the correct combination of conditional statements to get this to work. Here's what I've got with a couple notes giving my thought process.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a program that loads a number of puzzle pieces torandom locations on a board. There is an eventlistener and code todetect if they are all together.

View 1 Repliescreate a new flash project, draw whatever and call it 'a'. then paste this:[code]this is a simple handler that should trace 'here' while the pointer is over 'a', thats all. if you run it, it will trace 'here' only once, or only once every time you enter a, instead every frame the pointer is over a.how do i create a handler that runs as long as the pointer is over a sprite or whatever. a way could be to put an enterframe and check if the pointer is over a, which i believe is not decent at all, is there any equivalent of 'over' that runs while is over, and not just enter?
