I've built a component with custom inspector and preview file. I was wondering haw can I call an embedded function in preview from inspector?
The problem I've got is when I open two new FLA files and put the component in each file the preview doesn't refresh itself while switching between active windows (I have to make a change inside the inspector to update the preview)
I'm having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash's html preview but it's not working on my server. It's pretty simple. [URL].selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is [URL]. Like I said, it works with Flash's preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error? Here's my code:

I drew a logo and made it a movie clip but I can't get the filter in the property inspector to work correctly. The logo is blue and the shadow shows up blue and the bevel won't work.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a component which requires the selection of one item from a list of items in the component inspector. If you look at the checkbox component, you'll see a tag called labelPlacement which allows the selection of one of four choices. I would like to reproduce this for my component.
I do not need to display a list using my component, I just need to allow the choice from a list.
i never use compenents, and was recently asked to build one. Ha. Anyway, i have a working class that does all i expect, however, when transforming the class to a component, i am having trouble getting the inspector to actually 'set' the variables. below is a very general idea of what i am doing. All the variables show in the spector, but only the default values are working at runtime.

I have a created a component, and I can get the value in component inspector(code is in timeline)
But now I want that code to be in .as file.
how can I get access to the component in the stage and how to get its parameter values.
I have them appearing fine in the component definition panel, but the values entered here seem to be overridden by the component inspector and the var doesn't appear here unless I enter it manually and then there's no way to make it a list.In my class I have:
Code:
[Inspectable(defaultValue="controls", type="list", enumeration="controls,noControls")]
public var controlValue;

I'm curious when Adobe are going to repair the performance issues inside component inspector panel in CS5? Scrolling through the properties of some components is ridiculously slow, 486 like slow...
View 2 RepliesI found that there is a setting in the Component Inspector within Schema called Formatter. I am wondering if this is what I use, and if so how to format for time such as HH:MM:SS ? Or if I have to use something else?
View 1 RepliesIve made a movie that add strings from several input text fields to an array. This array is sent from the flash video to php. This is working fine when I preview the movie as Flash. The php script prints the variables as intended.

I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?
My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:

Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.
package uk.co.bigroom.utils

In this Class, how they denote one as Weak Reference and one as Strong reference.
So I have a still image covering a video so that when it's pressed it disappears and the video plays. I get no errors for the code I'm using, but when I preview my site nothing happens when I click the image.
The code I'm using is:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;function doPlayVid(e:MouseEvent):void {tanmov.play();tanbtn.visible = false;}function doStopped(e:VideoEvent):void {tanbtn.visible = true;}tanbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doPlayVid );tanmov.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STOPPED_STATE_ENTERED,doStopped);
I'm trying to preview a PDF file into a Flex (AIR) application : I am using the mx.controls.HTML component and it works perfectly when I build my project into flex builder.But when exporting to a validated version : I can preview a web page but not a PDF file.
View 1 RepliesMy searches have led me into some overcomplicated solutions. I'm using Flash to create a simple .swf that contains a movie with subtitles. I'm sure there are better ways but this is the easiest and I have been too long gone from developing in Flash and uBer rusty.
I used the movie importer, added captions exported my movie. All works great. The movie is set to NOT auto-play though and fades in from black so when the user first sees it they just see the skin and a black box. What I would like to do is have a preview image appear instead of the black first frame until the user plays the movie.
I've been coming across this weird issue while creating a website menu: Sometimes, when I preview/export my SWF, some of my objects (text, graphics) will shift a few pixels on mouse over/mouse out - but when I look through all my frames in the timeline (and watch closely), there is no such shift. Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes it will only do it when looking at the SWF locally, with flash player, but when viewing in a browser, it goes away. Of course, this is only sometimes - it has showed up in the browser as well. I've tried saving first, restarting flash, force refreshing the browser, etc, etc...it seems quite erratic.

View 1 RepliesI have a AS3 project, which shows a map (based on OSM) and prints some information on the map. Now I would like to have a thumbnail for this map.
I've tried [URL] to generate a screenshot of the whole page, the problem is when bitpixels takes the screenshot, the map isn't fully loaded.
Is there a way to say something like DisplayObjectContainer.exportToPNG?
I have been hunting for quite some time now and I can not find anyone that knows how to create a preview image for an FLV. I.E. youtube, they show you a part of the clip you are about to watch and not the first frame.

I am having a problem with a couple of swf's loading within a main swf when published to the Internet.

I'm building a site which will incorporate a CMS (possibly FlashMoto) and am trying to find out if its possible for the 5 second clips to be automatically created from the original videos? Or perhaps another way of doing it?

The free version over at [URL] displays sound in their online demo, but when I download the Fla. and preview it out of CS4 everything works but there are no sounds playing when I flip. SoundOn - true has been set, and I cant work out why it isn't working. No settings have been changed apart from soundon. I have tried with their older version 2.14 and that works fine.
View 4 RepliesI'd like to have a flash document, that is placed on a webpage, BUT in the 'stage' there would be 4 or 5 pictures. a person would click on the picture they want, and it would then be shown in a preview area on the stage. There would also be a cpl input text fields, and when a person types something in this box then it would also be shown in the preview area.

View 8 RepliesThere seems to be very little information on developing a custom component with live preview.So far i've created a swf whose application class extends UIComponent.I've also created a custom component.Then I've added the Live Preview field in the custom component's Component Definition.What I would like to do now is reposition elements within the preview swf when the user resizes the component.
To do this i need to know two things - 1 what event to listen for when the user resizes the component, and 2 the current dimensions of the resized component.
1. My only success was that ComponentEvent.SHOW seems to dispatch when the user resizes the component. (i had no luck with any of the RESIZE events - Event.RESIZE etc)
2. However the width/height properties don't seem to change on resize, they stay at the original dimensions of the component.
