View 2 RepliesI've been working on building a flash website for my company and was finally getting somewhere when I encountered a problem I cannot solve. I have it setup so that when you click on an item on the first scene it plays the second scene which is where the customization of the item is to take place. The second scene is where I am encountering the problem. I have seven buttons on the left side of the stage that are on their own separate layer. Everything was working fine until I saved and quit. Now when I bring up the second scene the buttons are all grouped together and uneditable. Also the buttons are extremely small and when I compile the swf file and view the movie all I see is the label of the buttons not the actual buttons themselves. I have tried deleting the button layer completely and redo the layer but every time I add the button component it add the same tiny uneditable button. I am including the errors that I am getting in output when viewing the swf.

In my flex application, my custom class AudLogDataGrid has a renderer function that takes a list of data and filters it, before passing it to the renderer:
private function rendererFunction(item:Object, grid:Object):ClassFactory {
var itemRenderer:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(AudActionDropDownIR);
var FilteredAudActionData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(AudActionData.toArray());
[Code].....
However, rendererFunction runs before the data is fully retrieve from the server! Is there any way to get around this without declaring the AudLogDataGrid in AS?
How can you set the XML connector's URL to a variable?
I have a variable called "thisURL" and an XML Connector called "myXMLConnector"
Currently I am designing a project and it has twoscenes.First scene contains a button and it will take you to thenext scene, where I have an XML connector and a combobox, boundedtogether
View 2 RepliesSo I must say I like the direction that Adobe is taking AIR, giving the ability for web developer to create applications for the desktop / mobile devices is wonderful. One things when I was learning php that was helpful (and something that has been a selling point for Dreamweaver) was the ability to point to a Database and Dreamweaver would generate the code for the connection. With Flash being ported to Droid and Adobe clearly making a push to Flash to move beyond the web why has this same functionality not been ported to Flash? In Dreamweaver you can point to a data source, select segments of data you want to access, sort, use a text field to filter data, etc..I must admit that my Flash skills are rusty but when I look at the steps it takes to get exteranal data into Flash, well what a mess.

Does anyone know how to get the circle array name through the onCntrMouseDown function trace part cause as what i put for the coding as event.currentTarget.name, it gives me the object instance name which is not the array circle name that I wanted...

I am working on a previously developed flash files that contain components. My development system has recently changed to Linux and since I have noticed the components aren't loading in firefox 3 (latest player version 10,0,22,87), both files have a slider component and one also has a stepper.The slider doesn't load at all, the stepper shows the number as text which I can edit.Opening the files on Windows XP with the same player version (WIN 10,0,22,87 apart from being on windows) and all was ok. Then I checked Vista (exact same version as XP) and the same issue as with Linux showed.I tried with vista (WIN 9,0,45,0) and everything was ok, I also switched linux back to 9 something and the components loaded correctly.I then wrote a basic test swf with just labels and a slider, this worked on linux with 10,0,22,87.I gather it must be to do with the way the components are dynamically loaded (as we use json to set the component values/options). Has anyone had a similar issue or can notice any issues in the way we are loading the components?
Code:

I have a Flash 'application' that is all on one frame and has about 2000 lines of AS 2 code. Works fine if it's all in Frame 1, but when I move everything (that's every layer and all the code) to Frame 3, for example, my menu bar component (which gets its data from xml files) doesn't load the data. I want to be able to do this so as to put a pre-loader on Frame 1 which would jump to Frame 3 when the SWF has fully loaded.
View 2 RepliesI have a project with an XML Connector that goes out and gets data from an xml file and displays it in a label in my flash. It does this when the swf file loads using ActionScript in frame 1. The ActionScript is simply: this.labels_xc.trigger(); It loads the data from the XML file no problem. But the data in the XML file changes every so often. How do I get the swf file to go out and get the new data on a regular interval (say every 2 minutes or so)? I've looked at scripts with timers and I can't figure it out. Here is the url to the page I'm testing it on:[URL]
View 10 RepliesI am building a diagramming tool using Adobe Flex 3. I am about to implement connector lines and I have a question.
Imagine I have 2 squares at random positions on the canvas. I need to draw an arrowed connector line between them. I need it to tend to the target square's center but end on its border.
How do I find out the exact points between which to draw the line?
I am trying to extend the WebServiceConenctor class to make a class that checks a web service at set intervals and has some other functionality.

I have a vertical tab-bar with 4 items with different sub tabs. All the four items use data from a single xml file, which is a big file.

I want to disable all the tabs while the xml file is being loaded.
View 3 RepliesI am using the web services connector but it only works if I set the publish settings to compile for Flash Player 7 or above and I need my movie to run on version 6. The web services connector should work from version 6 and I have used it before and published for v6 but for some reason the movie will publish without an error but the web service won't trigger. If I change the settings to publish for version 7 or 8 then it works fine. Here's my code if it's any help:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.data.components.WebServiceConnector;
var webServiceURL:String = "http://myurl.com";

I am trying to call a web service using the web service connector class with an instance of the component on the stage. This works fine. The problem is when I load the SWF into another movie and then trigger the function that triggers the web service it doesn;t seem to trigger. I can see that the function is being called from my trace statement but the web service wont work. The only difference is that i am loading the SWF into another SWF. All SWFs are published at version 6. Here's my code:

import mx.data.components.WebServiceConnector;
var webServiceURL:String = "http://www.myURL.asmx?WSDL";

I'm wanting to write a Connector class for my first jump into AS3.A Connector object would take two display objects as parameters, and it would draw a connecting line between them.Whenever either object moved, the Connector would keep track of that and update the connecting line appropriatly.
var connector:Connector = new Connector(sprite1, sprite2);
Will Connector be able to register itself as a listener for when sprite1 and sprite2 move or does that have to be done outside of the Connector class?
I have an application written in AS3 that is loading swfs written in AS2. Most of them work fine, except for ones that contain the old AS2 accordion component. Loading one results in it working correctly, but each one that is loaded after it breaks the previous one (the content no longer shows and the mask disappears). It's not just limited to the accordion, any of the AS2 components that came with Flash Pro cause breakage. I've tried loading the swfs to separate movieclips, tried using applicationDomain, tried everything else I can think of. Rewriting the swfs in AS3 is not an option due to circumstances out of my control.

I'm trying to compile an SWC file and everything works great until the part where it needs to add components, none of them added added to the .swc file at all.
The original file should be somewhere around 211 KB and when i compile it its only 1.64 KB, after unpacking the .swc and then the .swf inside it i can see that there is no components added at all.
BTW some components showing some errors but i dont think its a reason to not include ALL the components because the errors are like:
Description Resource Path Location Type
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. XXX.as /XXX/[source path] src/com/XXX line 1469 Flex Problem
What could the problem be? ask me if you need some future info cause i don't really know what to include in here cause there is no code it's only a project with a library.
Do you know any flex component with the functionality such as horizontally collapsible window or panel I found arc90, but it folds vertically.

I'm trying to control the behavior of components in my Flash Library using a .as file class, but it doesn't seem to be working.
For example, if I have a Button in my library called exampleBtn and attempt to do this in the .as file:
exampleBtn.visible = false;
... nothing happens. The button is still visible in my application when I run it.
Can anyone explain the workflow to make a Flash library component accessible in a .as class file using Flash CS5?
I have a swc file, loaded in my components panel and dragged it to my library. It is a file which allows flash as3 to evaluate strings as numbers as such. My problem is when I import the file
import r1.deval.D; I get an error message "the class r1.deval.D must subclass flash.display.MovieClip since it is linked to a library clip of that type".
I've been sitting here for hours following the developers guide and numerous examples of how to do this yet have not found the correct process.

View 1 RepliesI am using the FMS Connector C++ to do some publishing work. And I am required to call a server side method. I have tried to use the INetConnection::call() method, but it don't seems successful.
The FMS server spec told me to do,
1.call server method,
nc.call("FCPublish" null, streamname);
2. implement a callback function onFCPublsih
nc.onFCPublish = function (info ) {...}
How can I implement these with FMS Connector C++?
The FMS Connector document include too few topic on calling server side method.
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
