Im trying to figure out a way in which i could replicate hand writting in Flash as2? I basically have a form in flash and i want it to be completed in handwritting, one box in the form at a time. I want to the pre-defined text to 'written' letter by letter?
This would look sooo much better than just having the text box to just appear.
I've often seen on various websites headings that were created from Flash-based text. A good example of what I'm referring to is on vancouver2010.com , most notably on pages other than the homepage. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to do this automatically with a text generator perhaps, or if I need to manually create each SWF file by hand in Flash if I wanted to do this. I've also seen headers created that appear to have come from a generator of sorts that are just images.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to create a hand cursor when the mouse goes over a TextField. buttonMode does not work. Can I use cursor?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an interactive mouse that mimics the hand cursor you see in pdf files and other programs. There's two movieclips I want to use for the cursor. The open hand and the grab. I can get the cursor to work on the open hand, but can't get it to work when I press and want the open hand to change to the grab cursor. Here's my code:
onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(this, true);
[Code].....
i saw that one can create apps for desktop and for hand held devices..
View 1 RepliesI want to create a notification icon like the the red one in the bottom right-hand corner of Facebook. I tried using a ToolTipManager to create a tooltip but since Tooltips appear in their own layer in Flex and, as far as I am able to figure, cannot be anchored to any part of the page. When the user uses the browser's scrollbar, they move.
View 1 RepliesI'm used to using the if else shorthand:
var = (if statement) ? 'something' : 'something else';
Are there any other short hand methods available?
My goal is to simply have the cursor swap to be a hand (pointer) when I roll over a MovieClip. Obviously I could use SimpleButton, but the situation is that I have some enemies that are obviously MovieClips, and when I select an ability to use I want the mouse to show as a pointer when I roll over them.
I assumed this would work:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
[Code].....
There are workarounds such as adding a button into the enemy MovieClip and then removing it. Just seems there's an inbuilt way I'm missing.
Does anybody know a tutorial or something about writing to a txt file in Flash AS3?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to find a way to write to a text file from as2. I don't want to use any php or asp because my app needs to run without an internet connection. As3 has FileReference.save() and judging by the amount of searching I've done, as2 doesn't have that simple of a solution. Does anyone have a way even if its hacky to write to a txt file from as2?

how to make it so you can write a message and then hit submit with the componates and have it write to a text file?
View 3 RepliesThis is an area of Flash I haven't experimented in, so I don't know where to start. Is it possible to run an SWF, and have Flash export variables externally, as the SWF is running? So for example, export an Array to XML? It doesn't need to be PHP, and stored serverside etc, just written locally on the computer would be fine.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to write a simple plugin for the flash player flowplayer (documentation for writing a plugin for flowplayer can be found here). I'm new to flash and I think I'm having a problem connecting the .fla file to the .as file when compiling into a .swf. As it is, when I include the plugin, the player doesn't show up.
I've set the .fla's document class to the .as file and added the .as file to the .fla's publishing classpath.
The .as file can be found here and the .fla file can be found here

View 2 RepliesMy movie targets flash player 10, and I compile it with FlexSDK v 4.51. It compiles and plays with no errors. But if I view the swf in Flash Player 10, some sprites that are set to buttonmode do not show a hand cursor or dispatch MouseEvents. In fact, if I play it in the Flash Player 10 debug player, I get an error:
"VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of z in mx.core.BitmapAsset."
So to fix this, I can switch to using an older SDK, version 4.1. Now the error message is gone, but the mouseover problem persists - now for Flash Player version 10 and 11.
There are no flash 11 specific features used. It should be targetable using flash player 10.
I have determined that the mouse event and the override error are not related. The mouse event error seems to being caused by using filters. and I have found a workaround, by applying the filter to a child object, instead of the parent.
The error thrown above, is getting caused by an embedded bitmap. And it seems like a fix to that is to use flex SDK 4.1. Any reason not to just use the 4.1 SDK? Any way to make 4.5 sdk compatible with Flash player 10?
