ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Paths With Double Slashes?
Oct 1, 2009
I've made a project which uses double slashes ("\") on paths for source files like sounds,xml etc. It works fine on a CD but I want to uploaded on a server.The swf files which use those paths work fine on IE but not on firefox,safari,opera etc. I red that the problem is the slashes that I used in paths. They should be backslashes like "/Sounds/somesound.mp3" and not "\Sounds\somesound.mp3".I found that firefox translates "\Sounds\somesound.mp3" to a single file named "Soundssomesound.mp3", the directory "Sounds" now turns to a part of the filename.
If I place and rename the source files like "Soundssomesound.mp3" on the server in the same directory with the swf file (not in "Sounds" directory) this way works on firefox, but does not work on IE. I have to place the source files in both ways to work in all browsers but that's not good...I know that the best thing that I can do is to change the path syntax in fla's but the project is to big.
i'm trying to do a string replace with but can't seem to get the regular expression right. change "/portfolio/2/3/" to "portfolio_2_3"? Basically I want to remove the leading and following slashes, and convert all the other slashes to underscores.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of program that can convert the XML paths to Flash paths. Hmm...what I'm after is some little program that basically lets me open up an XML file, point on a node or attribute and the program will the flashpath to this node/attribute, where the path is something like: his.firstchild.childnode[2].attribute.jadajada
I'm using Ant with FDT 3 and I have Ant creating a jsfl to compile fla's. When I use the built in '${basedir}' property in Ant it gives me the path with backslashes() in it because I'm on Windows. The problem is that when its run through jsfl the slashes are taken as escapes. I need to know how to modify the basedir property so the slashes are converted to forward slashes. I've tried splitting the basedir on backslashes in jsfl and joining it with forward slashes as a delimiter, but the backslashes still cause problems.
So what I need to know is how to change the basedir in Ant to have forward slashes?
I am creating an application in Flex that uses an embedded SQLite database. The data in the database contains quotes and other special characters which are escaped using a backslash or ''.Before I retrieve the data and render it in a Flex text area control I want to remove the ''. Is there any function in Flex which can help me do this - some equivalent of stripslashes() in PHP?
I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
I simply want to put a movie on my website. I have other flash movies on my site that work fine. I import the video for progressive view. Publish the .fla. I get a .swf and an .html. I upload the files to my website and NOTHING! I check them locally and they work fine. Then I publish them again and they no longer work locally.
Flash 8 publishes them by default to my desktop. But if I use the default paths in CS4 the files don't even publish...they are nowhere to be found even with a search of my HD. I took html code from my site that was working and just changed the .swf file name. that didn't work either.
I'm working on this project where anyone can upload an image through ASP then sends the link of the uploaded image to an XML that is read by flash...Is it posible that flash read diferent paths so many users can upload their image at the same time and each one of them see their own image?
I have created an animation using a motion tween. When I publish it as an SWF, it correctly does not show the green motion path. However, when I export as an AVI, it actually shows the path in the AVI video. How can I "turn off" the path display
I have a bunch of loadMovie() scripts in my flash files and everything loads fine when I open the flash files from my folder.Once I preview them online on my test server, the loadMovie() scripts no longer work. Has anyone encountered this? Does my paths need to change in order to view the flash files online?Right now, I have everything realitive to the flash file so:My main file is test.swf. that loads in fine in the website.But test.swf loads in test2.swf which is contained in a flash folder so my loadMovie script itloadMovie("flash/test2.swf", 2)
Is it possible to publish to a relative path in the CS3 IDE? For example, I have my folders set up in the standard bin, src, lib configuration where the .fla is in the src folder and I want to publish to .swf to the bin folder. I've tried the obvious'.. /bin/ nsomeswf .swf' but this doesn't work.
I have been trying to import clipping paths into Flash, but the images look fine, except for the white outline around the imported clipping paths. what I could do to remove this. The clipping path looks fine when I drop it on the same color background in Illustrator. I'm using CS2 and Flash 8.
I'm trying to use flashmo image slider with ASP.NET MVC3 but run into an issue with the XML configuration file for the Flash slider...the XML file uses a direct path to the photos I want to use..for instance:
I am trying to find a way to avoid using FXG in one of my applications but run into a problem where the captured bitmap is not exactly the same as the original filled FXG paths.Originally, let's say I have a 3 shapes that are adjacent to each other (you can imagine a pie chart with 3 slices). I used "cutImage" function below to capture the filled bitmap data and display the 3 pictures. However, we discovered that there is a 1 pixel gap on the side where each shape meets the other shapes. Not sure if there is any relationship, but the captured bitmap is exactly the same as displaying the filled path directly but with "cacheAsBitmap" set to true. If we just display the filled paths with cacheAsBitmap set to false, there are no gaps between the shapes
Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.
Why do I see a double variable initialized to some value like 21.4 as 21.399999618530273? Is JavaScript's math broken? many, many other questions, for every language and platform, all with the same answer.
trace( ">> " + (399.6-(Math.floor(399.6))) ); prints out >> 0.6000000000000227
How do I escape double quote " in XML when I load it in Flash? I use createTextField and I have created a Font in the Library. I use TextFormat to embed the font. When just use " in my XML file, it will show " in my flashmovie, why is that?
I have a performance question about pixel bender. I want to enlarge many BitmapData (double their size into new BitmapData). I was doing this with as3, but wanted to use pixel bender to get better performance. On my machine, I get better performance out of pixel bender demonstrations then as3.
To my surprise (or bad coding / understanding), I am getting much worse performance out of pixel bender -- 2 seconds vs 1/2 second! I expected to get at least the same performance as as3.
I got the straightforward pixel bender code here (and it is included below for easy reference).
I know already that Double click event is not available for iOS(iPhone, iPad).But for example google map or other drawing applications have function of double click to scale up.
I have found sample program at Web. But I cannot found the ActionScript3 program to implement double lick event for Air for iOS.
And this is how It looks over 97% of times I load the swf:
Points to notice:
- running on Windows 7 64bit
- FP 10.2.154
- Flash Player embedded on standalone application (didn't seen that problem in browser yet)
What we are doing in this flash? We have just a loop for every character in our Array it looks if a TextField with this character .width is larger than boundaries. Yes? Create new line. No. Continue writing in same line.
As we can see on the buggy screen the width sometimes appear to be doubled - whitch generally destroys our layout.
how can I implement the functionality of double tap detecting in Flash MX 2004. I searched over the internet (put "implement double tap Flash" in google search box) but haven't got any luck.
I have a MovieClip called HolderMc and a ClickBtn inside HolderMc, here i want to DoubleClick the HolderMc and also i need to click the ClickBtn inside the HolderMc, here i have used MouseChildren as false to HolderMc to click the button, and doubleClick as enabled to HolderMc but no use, and also i have used to get the MovieClips name using target.currentTarget even though i am not able to use the doubleclick option alone.
I've recently noticed that when Flash goes into full-screen mode, triggered by a double-click, Firefox (3.0.1) takes the focus - if the user clicks anywhere on the screen outside the area of the original (non-fullscreen) Flash player area, Flash returns to non full-screen mode. Also, the cursor changes to reflect whatever is on the browser page beneath the fullscreen Flash app - i.e. it changes to a hand in areas where there is a link on the HTML page, or to a bar in areas where there is a textbox.
I've got a class (which extends MovieClip) that loads in an external SWF (made in pdf2swf). That is added to another class which has declared doubleClickEnabled = true and I'm listening for DOUBLE_CLICK events.Problem is when the SWF is loaded my code picks up no DOUBLE_CLICK events, only CLICK events. I've tried it without adding the SWF to the stage and it does pick up DOUBLE_CLICK events.
class ParentClass{ ... public function ParentClass(){ ... mcToLoadSWF = new MovieClip();
[code]...
I've also tried adding the event listener to the mcToLoadSWF as well. No dice.
I'm running the latest build (I'm pretty sure it's 1.0) on Ubuntu and I am calling a function on an amfphp service on another server. Everything seems to be in order, but I am getting a strange return value using the following code:
String url = "http://path.to.our.server/gateway.php"; RemotingClient client = new RemotingClient(url); Object[] args = new Object[]{"Hello world!"}; Object result =client.invokeMethod("service.manager.say", args); if(debug) System.out.println("return from server: "+result.toString());
