View 6 RepliesI'm new to ActionScript 3.0, some time ago I was developing some websites using ActionScript 2.0 - mainly timeline scripting. As I want to come back to developing websites, but I don't want to go back to AS2 I'm learning AS3. On that occasion I want to learn class based programming and to learn it I'm trying to build the image portfolio website. Before, my projects build was based on main.swf file which was loading external swf files for every 'module' of the website and now I'm not entirely sure how to organize my project using AS3. So for the example let's say the website I'm building will have:- Main stage- Menu- Links content displayer- Footer Links would look like the below:- Main image gallery- Another image gallery- Contact form- About me- News module Now the question is, what is the best practice for building this kind of project?Should I create Main swf file that will load all external content as swf files (image galleries engine, contact form, about me, news module) and place it on the stage? Or should I create separate class for each of the part of the website?
My concern is, that with separate swf files, I could update just one part of the website and upload it on the server and that part was loaded when needed. With project build based on classes, after updating one link's class I'll have to compile whole project - of course it's not a big problem, but then the website will be in one file, which can grow every time I'll update the links. The swf file will contain data that may never be used so this could be easily separate swf file loaded only on request.
In actionscript you can create objects wich are somewhat like classes in C++. I've been trying to recreate the Windows class in AS... the problem is that to my knowledge an object cant be reused so to say- create as many windows as i like, all with different attributes(some based on user input). am i wrong?
View 1 RepliesI come from game programing using c++ and glut (which is an external library to display sprites and stuff). in glut you do everything in the code there is no drag and drop, this is nice since all the control is at the code itself, this is also annoying because when you want to display something you need to guess the right coordinations, this requires a few tests until you get the right coordinations.
Now in flash you do have the drag and drop feature which is great but it doesn't go well with the OOP concepts, at least for me.my dilemma is: do you create your frames (symbol creation and placement) by code only (but miss the drag and drop freature of flash) or do you create pre-made frames by drag and dropping symbols from the library?

View 7 RepliesI need a meter that shows the current bandwidth rate as a percentage. For example: The maximum bandwidth rate is 4mbps, the current bandwidth is 3mbps, so the bar would be 75% full. This bar would change dynamically as the bandwidth rate changes.
Is there anything out there that already exists like this?
I'm trying to figure out how to bring in a number from xml into this analog meter so that it will display the number in the meter. I believe I'm supposed to use LoadVars object but not sure where to implement it.
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.stop();[code].....
i got a problem with my rotating meter. it works with key press.
Z= 1/4
X = 1/2
C = 3/4
V = 4/4
R = reset the meter to zero. the problem it tat the meter just go haywire when it goes more than 180 degrees rotation. so i cant get it go to 3/4 and beyond. i dunno where i go wrong.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to animate a mask over a sound meter according to the activityLevel of the microphone. If I understood what's in the livedocs, the activity level is the amount of sound captured by the microphone, right? well, I'm trying to use it in order to do the animation but I have two problems:
1. there's a very annoying sound coming out of my speakers
2. nothing happens when I talk through the microphone
here's my code:
import flash.media.Microphone;
import flash.events.ActivityEvent;
masker.height = 0;

AS3 or Flex : How to create a voice pitch meter/analyzer? Is it possible? How to create voice pitch analyzer on flex or AS3? do you have any idea? or is there any software like this that can be used on a web site?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a "meter bar" in Flash. I am creating an interactive house in Flash. Inside the house are objects that consume power. (ie. light bulb, computer, stove, etc...) Those objects are toggle buttons (created using MovieClips). (The objects can be toggled ON/OFF.) When ON--there is a "power value" associated with each house object (light bulb would be 1, computer would be 2, the tv would be 3...)I am trying to create a "meter bar" (that looks like a preloader bar) that visually shows how much power in the house is being used. Having a full meter bar--would be having all the house objects turned on
