View 10 Replieswhether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

I'm looking to create a Flash Map with multiple zoom levels. Ideally what I'd like is to be able to click onto a 'state' area, and then have the map zoom down to a sub-area (which can then either have a link or zoom down to yet another sub-area). Ideally I would like to be able to define sub-areas recursively (e.g. state area, region area, town area etc.) on an infinite level, but 2 levels should suffice. I found several solutions on Flash Den, however they can only handle 1 level. Does anyone know of any Flex/Flash libraries or frameworks which are capable of doing this? Alternately, does anyone know if this would be possible with Google Maps/KML? I already have vector outlines of the areas I would like to use in Flash.
View 2 RepliesI'm setting up some auto build scripts with ant and jsfl for use in Flash CS4. I have a few files that have some missing fonts. For these I just want to have the default mapping selected since the text content in question isn't displayed. I think CS5 may have an option to not display the mapping dialog, but CS4 doesn't. Anyone know if there's a jsfl method to targert this window and just select 'OK'?
View 1 Repliesdifference between key code and character code. For example, the number 1 (one) and the character ! (bang) both have the same key code but different character codes. Likewise, the number 7 from the row of numbers and the number 7 from the numpad have different key codes but the same character codes.
I'm programming a music rhythm game in Adobe Flex and would like to bind keyboard keys. This isn't a problem, but I certainly would have a problem, say, setting the default keys to A, S, D, and F and telling the user that this is the case.If you take a look at the documentation for flash.ui.Keyboard, you'll see that there are constants for keyboard keys to key codes. However, these are only available in Adobe AIR and not the browser. This makes sense since not all operating systems and keyboards are alike (or present!), so key codes can vary.
So, how can I assign default keys that have meaning instead of picking key codes and praying?My only sane thought is to store the character codes for the key bindings and then provide an character code to String mapping so I can tell the user what to press. However, my gut tells me that this will break in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Like CAPSLOCK.
I'm trying to create a fairly simple interface where the user can theoretically move up and down four vertical menu buttons with the cursor keys, selecting the option they prefer with the enter key. Obviously this requires focusing on a different button every time they move up or down, but I'm damned if I can figure out how to do this
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a dynamic 3 layer image that can have any of the 3 layers changed. i was thinking of doing this with alpha mapping where I have a back, middle, and front layer each defined by an alpha map. So if the style or shape of these changed I just render the texture with a new alpha map to define what portion actually takes the texture. So for each of the 3 layers there is a type(defines the shape), the texture which is applied to the shape, and an alpha map that is used to specify how the shape takes the image.
Imagine a fruit basket that can have the fruit switched out or the basket, and any combination of textures applied. You could potentially see the inside of the basket which may have a different texture than the outside. The fruit would all be one image that would then fit into the basket, and finally the basket would render. Then if you swap the color of the basket but keep the same model it would update, and you could then swap the model of the basket and keep the same color. But i'd want to do it where I have 1 texture that can fit over all the baskets but is just chopped off using alpha mapping.
(Flash 5) Ok guys, I am trying to get a button to work by pressing keys. Problem 1) I want the keys that are pressed to be ,1,2,3,etc... and those keys aren't in Flash's actions, can they still work? Or do I have to use keys like SPACE, RETURN, etc...??? Problem 2) Here is the code I'm using. I also want a sound to be played while the button is going down. The sound is in the "down" of the button, but I linked it. THe linkage name is "sound1" here is the code;

I'm building image processing or mapping system kinda like google map except we have our own HD images so i'm not sure what is the best way to do this in .NET here is what im trying to do Mapping web application build in .NET i've High resolution images , the user first load the selected area a full scaled image should be loaded 100% (original image) then he Zoom to the area he want, then he can move around this area almost like google map
1.user select area - full scaled image loaded
2.user zoom to random area - (i will receive some values for X, Y, etc.. in query string then i will extract these values and zoom/return the image based on these values)
So i'm not sure what is the ideal solution for this is it just zoom/re-size image based on the vales received from the user, or its more complicated than that?
i have an xml that i want to cast to a value object using the schema regitry class in flex..
so, i did sth like this :

where the value is the xml value requested from the server using http method, i get a null value when i dbug the param content.
I'm new to flash and working to embed the flash player in a .NET application. It's going "well" for the definition of "well" that adding the COM control and getting it to play a movie was easy and took about 3 minutes.What's not going well is that I cannot find documentation on the variable to string mapping used the SetParameter variable parameter. To coordinate between the apps, I want to be able to say: "flashPlayer.SetVariable("flash_variable", "value_to_set"). Obviously SetVariable does this. What's not obvious is how "flash_variable" is constructed.
For example, in the actionscript for a button called "OneBigButton" I have the following code:
OneBigButton.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick );var testSetValue = "value";function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void { trace("got the click " + testSetValue); outputText.text = testSetValue;}
When I try this:
flashPlayer.SetVariable( "testSetValue", "foo" );
The results do not get set in testSetValue.
I'd love a pointer to the documentation on how namespaces, class instances, etc affect the string construction used in SetVariable and GetVariable as I can't find it anywhere.

Dear goodness, am I the only person on the web trying to send a VO object from Flash to AMF where the properties are read only/getters?

View 3 RepliesThe way my test works, I draw a path on a displacement map using the mouse, and this displacement is applied to the same image every frame (i.e., the displaced image of the last frame is displaced again). Colors are flowing along the path as they should, with one problem: the displaced pixels always turn transparent after a few seconds.At first I thought this had something to do with the DisplacementMapFilterMode, so I tried setting it to "COLOR" using an opaque bright blue, while the stage behind my warped image is a highlighter green. Nope, the FilterMode color is only used for pixels sampled off the image, while my interior pixels were turning completely transparent of their own accord. I tried removing the alpha channel from my distorted image, and then the pixels would just turn black instead of transparent.
So, now I'm stumped. I've viewed my displacement map to make sure it looks right, I've tried setting the displacement scale to low and high numbers, and I've checked the channel assignments, all to no avail. Here's my code, and I've attached the .fla as well, so you can see what's happening. If you run the file, just make your mouse is located in the center of the frame before it starts, or you'll end up dragging the blue fill color in from off the screen.
Code:
// "spider" is the name of a named movie clip instance containing
// an image on the stage, having the same dimensions as the stage

I'm still having trouble mapping my as3 class to a server side class in C#. I've been through several tutorials and the official documentation butI must be doing somethiing wrong. I found that I have to use an attribute in my as3 class: [RemoteClass(alias = "FlashRemotingExample.WorkerCS")] But that is still not working.
View 1 RepliesI have four points that make up a rectangle (note: the four points have the same aspect ratio as the window). The rectangle itself can be moved and scaled (again, keeps it's aspect ratio).
I want to map the root's positions (_x, _y, _xscale, _yscale) so that the box is always the frame of the window. This should be easy enough, except for the fact that the root's "hotspot" (position which it scales from) is always 0,0.
NOTE: I use four points to make the rectangle: xLeft, yTop and xRight, yBottom
come up with some code to change the root's _x, _y, _xscale, and _yscale to fit this rectangle
I am have about 80% of a my website built and buttons all mapping where they should go, along with a number of XML driven BANNER ROTATORS/ACCORDIAN MENUS...ect
This site requires users to be signed in, which is done through a site previous to mine. Once they log in, they can click a button which then allows them access to my site.
My site has three "user levels" or "autentication levels" as we have "Managers", "Supervisors" and "Staff" levels.
For testing purposes, we have placed the below actionscript in the first frame of my project. The purpose of this actionscipt is to reference the "authentication level" that the user is using (as they will have already signed in so we are simply looking to obtain their "auth level").

I'm using this tutorial to create buttons with displacement mapping for my simple game menu. These buttons need to be clickable; i.e. once you click on them you move to a different frame. Everything works fine on the first frame, but when I click to the next frame the displacement map disappears and will not apply to the buttons on that frame. Plus, when I click my "back" button to return to Frame 1, the displacement effect has disappeared entirely.
This is the code which is in the base "Game" class, which links to the main Flash file.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code]....
It calls the JitteryButton class, another external class, which I don't think is the problem, but I can post if if necessary. It's very similar to the one in the tutorial. Also, I need to add different buttons on other frames of the menu, but if I call them in this external class, it doesn't recognise them.
can anyone spot why this might stop working like it does? I was thinking about instead of using "Game" as an external Actionscript file, I could actually write it into Flash as Actionscript on a layer - would this work?
If I've got a bunch of plain old Objects, what's the best way to map them to a bunch of Classes?For example, if I use an HTTPService to pull in some JSON, then deserialize it, I'll have a bunch of objects which look like:
{ type: "person",
id: 42,
name: "David" }
And I want to turn them into instances of a Person class:
class Person {
id:int;
name:String;
}
(also to be considered: how about some standard way of dealing with relationships between objects? For example, if the Person had an additional "spouse" field:
{ type: "person", spouse: 61, ... } // Where 61 is the ID of the spouse
)
I'm working on a website using :
- Flex 3.4
- AMFPHP 1.9b
- Propel 1.3
- PHP/MySQL
I'll try to focus on the problem which takes place in a whole system.To sum up, I have 2 entities (MySQL) :
create table AAA
(
id_AAA int not null auto_increment,
id_BBB int,
[code]....
I retrieve all my BBB, they are mapped from PHP classes (generated by Propel) to AS3 classes on the Flex side.But when I create a AAA row in the database.I retrieve all my BBB, and all objects are mapped EXCEPT the BBB whose id corresponds to the foreign key in the inserted AAA row.
if you know anything about how AMFPHP / Propel / Flex are dealing with Foreign Keys and why class mapping is failing right here.The weird thing is that it seems to happen only for this specific case ...
I have an issue when consuming a web service from a Flex app. In the backend I have a hierarchy, let's say I have an abstract class Fruit, and 2 implementations: Apple and Orange. Fruit has a property, name, Apple has a property color, and Orange has a property radius. Then, I have a service wich returns a collection of Fruit. When I consume it from Flex, this collection returns objects wich type are Fruit, with its name property; but I lose all the properties for the implementation classes (color nor radius). So, the question is, does Flex support inheritance mapping when using web services? If not, is there any workarround?
