Is that possible, to substitute a long path with a short var. I know it can be done with any object property, but I'm not sure how to do it with a path, b/c what I've done so far doesn't work.
I'm trying to take into account the Garbage Collector (GC), so I decide to optimize this code:[code]For instance, is it useful to put "xmlOne = null" in every iteration? I'm checking with the Flashdevelop's profiler, but I don't see the difference.maybe, I can also reuse the item object rather than creating it every time, right?

View 3 RepliesDoes anyone have ideas to securely encode a small amount of data into approximately 8 characters? I have a project (Flash and Flex (AS3) not that it really matters) that must be deployed on CD/DVD-ROM (no local storage nor network access) but with a requirement to allow people to come back where they left off. Therefore there will need to be a code that is human-friendly to print (on dead-tree or PDF) or write down and to enter back into an input field, as well as being secure to stop cheating between different students.
There are 14 assessment items that can be completed in any order. At the moment I CRC32 their "login name" and take 16 bits from that result, and combine them with the 14 assessment bits into 30 bits that is then encoded using a form of Base32, giving 6 characters, then adding a check character, then using a character replacement for encryption. Upon return to the program and entering the 7 character progress code, after decryption and extraction, if there is a match in the name hash parts, it is assumed the completion bits are correct.
One problem identified was that only two characters change when completing each item. Is there some algorithm that would completely change the entire string if any one bit changes? Or is there a completely better way? I'd also like to store more data (dates, more bits for the hash to reduce collisions, location within the course, etc) but don't want to go above 8 or 10 characters.
my code works, but is way too long, infact to get the result I want it would need to be very very long.Here is *some* of my code, this is for Left. I have 3 other similar bits of code for Up, Right and Down.
on (keyPress "<Left>") { _root.player.gotoAndStop("left"); leftFunc = function () { if (_root.player.hitL.hitTest(_root.everything.hitAll.hitLeft) || _root.player.hitL.hitTest(_root.everything.hitAll2.hitLeft) ||

I want to be able to display a paragraph where if the text being shown is (say) over 15 lines long, then a link text will appear and if click it will expand.
Example:
This is a long line for here so I need to make more display but I cant so what will (More)... <== this more link will be clicked and the rest will show up below this paragraph expanded to show the rest of it. (Close)... <== this close link will be clicked and the rest of the page will be hidden again.

I have an issue in which outdated code removed long ago code in an actionscript 2 class sometimes gets executed. I can tell this in that the application fails and trace statements removed long ago gets logged to a console.The closest match I've come across is this post:Flash CS4 refuses to let goHere are the things I've triedI hI have searched an uncompressed debug-enabled version for the trace entry. It is not there.I have decompiled the compiled version and searched that. It is not there.I ave deleted all ASO files and tried to recompile.I have not been able to reliably reproduce the conditions in which the situation arises.I've testet 700 times in a row (yes - sevenhundred times - this is a high profile project) and it would not occur. Then tested another time and it occured. No difference in my approach to testing.I have compiled on another, freshly installed machine. No difference.I have ruled out that it may relate to timestamps since I've tried to compile locally and w/o version control.

I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too.

"Instead of laboring many hours tracing a bitmap in Illustrator or Freehand, you can use a little known Flash tool to convert a bitmap into a vector - the Trace Bitmap Tool. There are two reasons you may prefer vector over bitmap in your flash movies. One: to achieve a cool look. Two: to lower your file size."
you put that text in a text field in flash but you will need to have links on the word flash and illustrator and freehand... how do you do the links? do you convert all the text to a graphic and then transform the works that you want in buttons??

im following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
I'm trying to make about a minute long animation of two koi fish.
1. Fish slowly swim in frame
2. Fish swim in circle a couple times
3. 4 food pellets drop into water
4. Fish eat them one at a time
5. Fish slowly swim out of frame
I've finished step 2, but now I want to go back and do step 1. I've attatched a picture of my koi and I was wondering if there was any way I could flip the image of them and tween them to make it look like the fish were moving their bodies all in flash.

I've recently started using Flash in CS4 and finished up a short cycle and exported it as a .mov to find it had clipped the last two frames, Does anyon know why? Or how to stop it from clipping my work?
View 1 RepliesWhile working on a project involving a mask layer and artwork layer the tutorial that explained the procedure said to press F6 to add a new keyframe to the timeline. While on the current frame, the tutor was hitting F6 and a new frame with a keyframe was produced. I need to click on the next frame then hit F6 to make the keyframe. The project is to make a vine look like it is growing and involves making lots of subsequent keyframes in this manner. The tutor breezed through making one keyframe after another - I have to physically advance to the next keyframe THEN hit F6.This really slows things down.

View 2 RepliesSo I'm making my own networking protocol for a online game, to save space each message (sent over TCP) is given a ID which is a short, 2 bytes, all messages sent from the server to the client and vice versa are strings, how can I convert a short to a string in java in just 2 bytes (characters)? I want to be able to convert a short int into 2 characters, so that I can send the short over the network in a string format in just 2 bytes and decode it back into a short on the other side (in actionscript 3). A character can hold 256 possible values right? So 256*256=65,536 which is the size of a unsigned short int!
Here's what I've got so far:
public static String toCode(int c){
if(c <= 255 ){
return Character.toString((char)c);
}else{
return null;
}}
public static int fromCode(String c){
return ((int)c.charAt(0));//Return the character code of the send string, 1 char only
}
This can turn a int into a single character which can be sent over the network, now I just need to have it use 2 characters and it can do up to a short.
