ActionScript 2.0 :: What Datatype Is An Embedded .mov
Sep 11, 2007I've imported a .mov file into my flash file. If I want to control that object via AS, what datatype is an embedded video?

View 3 Repliesi'm working on converting an Action Sript class to C# and now i'm choosing a proper data types to replace ActionScript data Types ... and i wondered what is the best C# datatype to replace the Dictionary Datatype in Actionscript here's a sample code for example
public static const db:String = "http://dbpedia.org/resource/";
public static const rdf:String = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
public static const skos:String = "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#";
[Code].....
so as my title says. I'm wondering if specifying the datatype in actionscript 3 on variables actually makes code run faster

How do I get the datatype of a variable? In this case it is pretty obvious, but I am trying to make a substitute for function overloading in a class.
basically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

Has anyone implemented a Set class in ActionScript? Specifically, a Set which is similar to Python's set implementation (unordered, unique, O(1) membership, etc). I'd like to be able to iterate over it using for each, perform operations like union and intersection and get a list of all the contained items... Which would all be possible to implement using Dictionary and Proxy, but I'd rather not reimplement it if someone's already done the heavy lifting.

View 3 RepliesThrough an XMLSocket, I get a basic datatype as a String value, such as "int", "String", "Array", etc... I would like to instantiate a new variable of the specified datatype. Something along the lines of the following psuedocode:
Code:
function createVariable(type:String, value:*):void
{
var dataTypeRef:* = getDataTypeRef( type ); [code]......
The title of this post may not make much sense, let me explain. I have a function:
findSurface(origin:Point, vector:Point, attempts:Number):Point The function has an obscure use, but the idea is thus: given those three arguments, returns a point IF the 'line' (created by the origin and vector arguments) intersects the object the function is called on. [but that is another story...]
More importantly, if there is no point of intersection at all, what should the function return? Void? Null? Undefined? Object? Or can I use one of those return types instead of Point incase the function does not encounter an intersection?
is there a way to convert dynamicly?
that's the default way to convert a String:
var toVal:* = int("5");
var toVal:* = Boolean("true");
but I wan't to do this:
var type:String = "int";
var toVal:* = type("5"); // <<<<< how can I do this
is there a method to return the datatype of a variable?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];

// In php gettype() is what I use to get the type. Is there a similar function in as3?
How exactly does the datatype checking of Vector work? The documentation states that an exception occurs at runtime if there was a wrong argument pushed to the Vector. However if I try this:
Code:
private var numberVector:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
...
numberVector.push(thumbnailInstance)
And then I trace it, I get NaN (cos it is a thumbnail ). However, no exception is being thrown.
What's happening in this simple piece of AS3 code? Why does my object change from TextField to the more generic DisplayObject?
public class Menu extends MovieClip
{
private var active_button:SimpleButton;
public function Menu()
{

I have imported a jpeg into Flash CS3 IDE Library and Exported(Linkage) it to be used in action script by giving a class name 'Image'. And when I am trying to compile the file its showing error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. and 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Image to an unrelated type flash.display:Bitmap.

I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a embedded language that can be used to script common code between a server app written in C# and a client app written in Flash/Actionscript. It is important that the embedded language interpreter run natively in the environment it is embedded into. For example, it cannot load any external C libraries (i.e. python, neko).
Does such a thing exist for these two languages? Perhaps there is some minimal interpreter that could be easily ported to both?
i'm interested in letting users download my game .swf, but i'll need to be able to tell if they are running the .swf from the webpage, or as a standalone swf. is there any ingenious method to do so?

View 6 RepliesI have some AS3 code that embeds a SWF (which itself contains AS3):[code]They also don't seem to offer any way to extract the ByteArray.Surely it can't be that easy to obfuscate AS3 code. But where did the SWF go? Looking at it with a hex editor, I can't even find the start header ("CWS") of the embedded SWF.My question is: what happens to a SWF when its embedded as a ByteArray? And do any decompilers support extracting an embedded ByteArray?I'm not embedding this SWF in order to obfuscate (there are other reasons). I'm just interested in the decompilation ramifications of embedding.
