I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck trying to get a flash app to talk to either a visual basic or c++ application? I need to build a player [flash embeded into the vb or c++ application] that when the user say, pushes a button, calls a function or action from within the app. Any Idea How would I go about this?

it's been a long time since I opened VB and I just needed to make a real simple program.Someone enters their income, then based on their salary, their taxes are displayed.One input TextBox, one ouput TextBox, and a button to calculate.I'm almost there, I'm just missing something, I have a TextBox for income:
txt_income
I have a TextBox for income + taxes:
txt_taxtotal
And a Calculate button:

I am trying to create a standard production of visual basic system, on Flash CS5. It's an interactive system made in Flash, but the house style is as of Visual Basic. I have almost completed the project however I am finding it difficult to:-
a) If the user types into textboxes in one stage on flash, it should appear down on another screen on another textbox, simultaneously.
b) How to validate textboxes in flash so that the user can only type in certain characters, for example the user would fill in the textboxes when asked about coding in visual basic. At the end of the screen by clicking next it would check the textboxes and if the characters are incorrect it would display an error message, and if correct proceed to the next screen.
This coding is the closes't i got to solving my problem about validation, I have also read a number of ActionScript books but no luck there. I have also searched the net but could not find what i am looking for, all i got was validating using passwords from parameters.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a swf talk to another swf on a web page, i.e. to separate flash pieces would be able to pass information back and forth to each other on a page. I have some thoughts on how this might work, but I am curious if anyone has done this before, and or what you would think the best way off achieving this would be. Haven't found much about this topic on the web...
my initial thought would be to have flash update something like an xml file via a webservice, then have the other piece constantly look for a change in information, but that seems forced.
I'm trying to have two flash menus talk to one another via ExternalInterface, but for whatever reason the javascript function isn't being called.
I have two menus, topMenu and tabMenu. The idea is for clicking on one to, among other things, send a message to the other.
[Code]...
Obviously I haven't put the code in for two-way communication, but I want to get this working. As of now, clicking the button on topBit does absolutely nothing. No errors from Firebug, and the alert doesn't come up, so goBetween() isn't being called.
On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.
View 1 RepliesMy client is in Flash/Flex (game with chat) and it will be talking to a Java server. What is the best way (protocol / interface) for my Flash client to talk to my server? I heard about Flash Remoting MX, but it is a request / response mechanism. I could always request something and wait for asynchronous notifications from server. Then request again, implementing something like a Comet server.Anyways, what is the industry standard for this type of communication: Flash Client talking to Java server, supporting asynchronous "push" notifications from server.
View 4 RepliesIn my attempt to create a simple Pong-like game, I've encountered a very strange and at times severe visual bug.When I set the ball (A Flash CS 5.5 library MovieClip) in motion moving around the screen at a rather fast speed, I've noticed that sometimes the edges of the ball would be cut-off for a short moment in the direction it is moving.
When it happens, it almost seems like the position of the ball MovieClip is slightly ahead of its own border and thus the part that is outside the border fails to get drawn.
Here's a picture that illustrates how this looks - at least for me:
You can also view the .swf file online here: [URL]
Some technical data:
I've been unsuccessful in capturing the with a screenshot no matter how much I tried. Sometimes I would open the .swf and the bug would be almost non-existent while at other times it was very blatant. I'm using an EnterFrame event function to increment / decrement the x and y position of the MovieClip. I have never encountered any such problem in any Flash app, in this machine or others. Truncating / rounding the x and y values of the MovieClip didn't help. Neither did setting cacheAsBitmap to true.
I need to invoke a dll/exe upon selection of controls in flash like checkboxes,radio buttons etc.. By getting the status of the controls I need to perform the actions in my aplication which is developed in VC++ and accordingly I should give responses to flash.
View 1 RepliesMost of my applications are a combination of VB.NET and Adobe Flash, such that the VB application is displaying a Flash file inside the main form (using Adobe's COM object). The VB application is communicating with the Flash file via the ActionScript ExternalInterface and FSCommands (using XML strings). I'm having a hard time debugging the applications, since when an error occurs withing the Flash file (due to a bug in the ActionScript code) I'm getting a non-informative exception.
What I'd like to do is to debug both codes at once. At the very least I'd like to see the runtime error output as it is shown when I'm working with Adobe Flash. At the best scenario, I'd like to be able to hook my VB.NET code with the Actionscript code such that I can use breakpoints in both.
I'm trying to make a visual novel in flash, I have created the UI and the characters, but I don't know what could be the best approach as how to load the dialog and how to save them. I've been thinking about external files, but I don't know what could be the best type of files to do so. Also, when I load the game I want it to continue in the same scene and with the same variable values (obviously) is there a way where you can save all of them (like an image of the game).

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a visual waveform for an MP3. The code I've included is called on successful load of the MP3. I intend to extract just a few important samples from the sound to create the waveform, rather than extract the entire sound into a bytearray. Even on a good machine, extracting an entire song can cause flash to freeze up for 3-5 seconds (or longer!). For my purposes, this isn't feasible.
Unfortunately, the code I've got below is failing to produce any numbers. If I extract the entire song it functions, but extraction of just the key points is giving me nothing. Does performing an extract make the remainder of the sound object invalid for future extracts? If so, is there some way around this that won't freeze flash for an extended period of time during the extract? Some important variables from the rest of the code:

View 2 RepliesI need to run some code when a panel is destroyed. The code is simple, I have some Background tasks while it is opened, but need to stop them when closed.
I have a Close button for the panel, and I stop the BG Tasks when the user wants to close the panel, the problem is that they have access to a top menu bar too and can jump to another application module/part throught it, so, the user can exit the panel (when exiting, the panel is automatically destroyed) but the panel close event code is not executed because the close button was not pressed.
One solution could be to inherit from panel and add a post step method that is called when swapping modules, etc... So, if the user wants to move to another place through the menu bar, my system will first call sometihng like PreEnd() method on the panel and everything will be solved. But, is there any event that I could catch from the panel when it is destroyed to accomplish this? I have been checking the documentation but couldn't find anything useful to achieve what I explain.
