How do we apply the filters so that it reflects in the stream being published ?

How to apply multiple filters in Adobe Pixelbender in Flash (=limited version)?
For example 3 different kinds of video displacement effects (1 displacement on the left, one on the right and one the top).I know, it possible to just copy paste the code multiple times, but this wouldn't be very elegant.
I am trying to add simple drop shadows to a few dynamically loaded images and it's not working. If I create a plain box or rectangle, the drop shadow filter works fine, but not with loaded .jpg's.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have about 9 buttons on my stage and I want to write code for the rollover and rollout effects, I only want to write the code once so I am trying to pass the button info into a string via evt.target.data and it pass the info properly into my string variable but when I try to set my filter to that variable, setting my movieclip instance name to that variable, I get 2 errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property filters through a reference with static type String.Warning: 1072: Migration issue: String is not a dynamic class. Instances cannot have members added to them dynamically.
My code is:

I'm trying to use fl.controls.Button under Flash CS3 to replace some "classic" custom button symbols with resizable ones with a consistent look and feel. However, I want to apply an icon to the button when authoring the layout of a particular frame on the timeline - but the only way I can see to set the icon style on a button is at runtime with myButton.setStyle(). Is there no way to customise style properties of AS3 Components when authoring on the stage, such that the preview in the IDE vaguely matches the end result? The 'Properties' inspector only provides 'emphasized', 'label', 'labelPlacement', 'selected' and 'toggle' inspectable properties - how do I assign style information at authoring-time?

I have made an input text filed in frame 2 (made at authoring time) and populated a variable with it i.e var g_nameEntry: String; g_nameEntry = nameField_txt.text; and now have performed the concactenation with this variable in the Frame 4 i.e loserField_txt.text = "Sorry" +g_nameEntry where loserField_txt is another dynamic field created at authoring time in Frame4. However this is not working.
View 3 RepliesI've built a UIComponent in AS3. When I drag it onto the stage during authoring time, the ADDED_TO_STAGE event fires.
I have an event handler, but it's really only meant to perform actions at runtime, not when I'm dropping the component onto the stage to design the layout. Is there any way to check to see if the component is "running" in a live SWF?
Basically, I don't want the ADDED_TO_STAGE event handler to do anything at design time.
I have four dynamic text field created at the authoring time in Frame-4. I just need them to be placed randomly every time when I come from Frame3. I have known that there is a Math Class which generates random numbers which would be an effective way. how do I proceed ahead i.e shall I create an array and seed it with the their current positions etc etc
View 5 RepliesWe have an ordinary video player built for Adobe Flash Player that streams a video file and plays it on a browser.However some of the video files aren't clear enough that we need additional video filters like sharpness filter while the others may require contrast filter or hue and tint filter due to its color balance.
The question is, is there any feature that are provided by Flash Player's core video component to apply those kind of filters on the fly at client-side?
Are there a good overview/comparison of Flash-authoring tools somewhere online?
By "Flash-authoring tools" I mean "Flash Builder vs. OpenLaszlo vs whatever", not Silverlight or JavaFX.
I like the Eclipse SDK for other languages like python/java etc for writing code. But the Flash CS4 environment is not as intuitive (specially the editor). Is there any alternative for writing actionscript?

View 0 RepliesI'm creating a component that places symbols on the stage based on text input by the flash author. The component behaves as expected when the swf is published, but doesn't update in flash authoring when the data is changed in the component inspector. Live preview in the control tab is checked. The component functioned as expected until a couple of days ago, and I can't for the life of me see what I may have changed to cause it to stop functioning.

View 1 RepliesI want to set a variable from a flash file so that I can access if from JSFL in a Command. I am using a element in JSFL's XMLUI: Here's the JSFL:
[Code]....
but I get undefined when I use trace fl.xmlui.get('secretword') in JSFL after opening the panel. In a way it kind of makes sense, if the xmlui variables live as long as the xmlui dialog is display, and they become undefined as soon as the user click either accept or cancel. Can someone confirm is this is the case ? Aworkaround would be saving the 'secretword' in a text file through JSFL from xmlui, although just passing values from a xmlui node to JSFL would be simpler. Is there a 'cleaner' way of doing this, other than writing a file to disk ?
has anyone ever had a situation where the flash CS4 Output window is blank; it should have several trace statements, and at least 1 error; furthermore the Compiler Errors window is blank; I know there is an error some where ( I updated my papervision3d yesterday ), so I should see some error messages, and the trace statements - but everything is blank;
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able the batch a bunch of JPGs and turn them into simple 1 or 2 frame vector swf files. I would like to be able to use the flash trace bitmap option as it does the best at what i'm trying to do. If i where using in photoshop i would use a script to do but i don't know how for flash.
So here is an outline of what i am ultimatly trying to do.
I have a swf called "page" page has two layers to it. layer one has some buttons and AS and Layer two is empty. I would like to batch a collection of 3000 images, all jpgs, and convert them into 100% vector and insert that vector in to layer two and save that swf as "original jpg file name.swf"
Is it possible in Flash 8 accessing from the linkage class, associated to a component, the graphics elements (for instance, a standard UI component, like a tree or a comboBox) that are on the movieclip this class refers to?
