I was looking at another thread and was wondering if the classes (like the Tween class) that 2004 has added were available in some way for MX? I don't know if this is the correct forum to post this question, so if not, feel free to move it...
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)
The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I have an actionscript project which uses visual symbols from an SWC. I have a CheckoutButton which has the following class associated with it (compiled into the SWC in Flash CS3).

I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..
View 2 Repliesinheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes:
gfxRoomText - changeable colour
gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive
gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?

3.Image Viewer;When the image viewer is opened the image viewer window opens.When images are loaded into the viewer and captions are added they appear to work in Dreamweaver but they dont move in sequence when the buttons are clicked.In browsers the captions dont appear. If the window is closed and reopened all of the images have disappeared and just the image viewer returns.The response I got from an inquiry to Adobe was; The version of Dreamweaver has been discontinued and is no longer supported via phone or web cases. We only support versions CS3 andCS4 via telephone or web. have interoperability between these two programs?

View 1 RepliesI imported a panorama .jpg file (i.e., several overlapping landscape photos stitched together) onto the Flash MX 2004 stage, changed it to a symbol (graphic), and used Tween to simulate the panorama panning back and forth. The effect looks great when I click on the .swf file in Windows Explorer, but when I created a box on a PowerPoint 2000 slide and linked the .swf file to it, instead of the graphic, there is a red rectangle. The rectangle moves the way the graphic would, but you cannot see the photograph. By the way, I followed the steps at [URL] to link the .swf file to the PowerPoint slide.

View 2 Repliesi have some problems in integrating with my own flash. 1st of all.. let me define the key things
1st step.. the flash will detect the xml. 2nd, it detect whether if it has people on air on the studio or not refer to the time. 3rd, if its between the [timeid] range ( 0-7) it has a slot but either has a dj or not, if the timeid = 8 , no slot and no deejays here is my core part of problem..
the flash will show the slot language pics background = MC ( session ), the slot name = dynamic text area ( slonem ), and who's the deejays = dynamic text area (djnem), of the current time, if there's no one on air or no slot , the pics background = MC ( session ) will show music only.
i'll include also my xml file and my dummy file for this thing.. also iincluded is the original schedule that working properly.. the original schedule and the dummy is basically different just they read from same xml file..

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to achieve is have my images "flash/shine" when the cursor passes over the image, however; I want it to adjust to say +100, then back down to 0 immediately, not on roll out. The code I have thus far works perfectly fine for over and out.
Code:
sBright = 0;
eBright = 100;

I have this code below which works well to a certain extent. This code is on the 'PROFILE.swf'. On this page there is a sub menu containing 4 buttons: Biogs, Awards, Charity, Publications. When one of the the last 3 buttons are clicked the text already on the page fades away and the relevant, new, swf is loaded in place. Now because within each new swf there are more catergories in the sub menu to choose from, the buttons are also loaded with the new swf.
This means that after the first button is clicked, this code nolonger works as the target path changes. Initially the buttons are in Container2, then once the first button is loaded the buttons are in sub_cntr. My question is: Is it possible to write the code so that the target path is checked to both CONTAINER2 and SUB_CNTR?

I'm a former Flash 3 user that's desperately trying to get back into Flash with MX (not 2004) and need some assistance.I have been working through some 3D/perspective tutorials lately and have gotten stuck at trying to modify one of Senocular's great open source files from a tutorial covering Shape Movement vs. Camera Movement.
In the field of stars example at the bottom of this page, there is a scaling/easing/perspective effect that I am attempting to get a grip on.I moderately understand all the code that was provided in the "PullThroughSpace" FLA, but I need to modify it to do the following, which is where I get stuck:
1. Instead of duplicating the "stars" MC a set number of times, I wish to have five (just an example number) individual movie clips appear.
2. As opposed to random placement of these clips a la "PullThroughSpace", I wish to be able to define the spots myself.
3. Also NOT having them repeat when brought out of view. Similar to sofake, but with the addition of perspective. Also refer to bit-101's April 24, 2003 experiment.
4. Have buttons that, on release, will take you to a specific movie clip in this virtual field instead of having to click on the clip itself. Again... somewhat similar to the sofake design.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial for how to tween using actionscript? This is for MX 2004.
View 1 RepliesI am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus. I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers.

I'm having problems with a simple flash site that contains a scrolling slide show, that uses a .xml file.I was sent a .fla file that I couldn't open with MX 2004 ... I asked them to save it as a MX 2004 file. They sent it back, and I was able to open it.The problem is ... when I save it as a .swf the slide show doesn't work.The .swf & .xml files are on the same level in the directory, and the .swf path to the .xml file is correct, also the .xml to the image folder path is correct.I have spent hours going through this, and can't get it to work.I have added images to the .xml file, and they show up (I am using the original .swf) so the .xml file is OK, and again the path from .xml to the images folder is correct. This is the working .swf file (click on the portfolio link )Now ... imagine no images there, and that's what I'm getting when I save the .fla as a .swf.Other changes I make to the .fla are working properly ... just the slideshow is the problem.Did something happen when the .fla was saved as a MX 2004 that caused the .xml part to stop working?IM not a whiz at actionscript, but I have gone over it several times, and can't see anything that looks out of place.
