View 3 Repliesi want to create a chat app using flex 4.5 mobile project for android device. For the chat screen, i wanted it to look glossy and stylish. Hence i thought i would use the list component and disable the selection in it. I m able to add the chat messages into the list. But i doubt if large chat data might hinder the performance. Im using a collection and i ve binded it with the list. Whenever i receive a chat i update the collection and it gets displayed in the list. Can someone tell me if his could pose a performance problem as list component is not intended for this purpose.

View 1 RepliesI've noticed that some programmers animate objects based on the difference in time. I am not sure why or even if this is logical. Does anyone know the significance? Below is a snippet of code that explains what I mean:

I have a bit of Flash experience, did a full featured movie player, other stuff in AS3 and got plenty of programming skills in other languages, BUT now I need to create a multi paged website. Quite easy, a few pages, some animations here and there, nothing fancy, got all the graphics.
But time is short on this one, so I need some advice about good practices (pack everything into one main MC or make separate swfs and load them in, etc.), where to begin, or what kind of book should I grab to make the job pretty.
I'm taking a Flash CS4 class at the local community college. Our teacher is making a LOT of assumptions about what we know. Our first assignment is to set up a web site (I've already taken web design I & II, but this is my first exposure to Flash). What I'm looking for is some guidance about the orderly steps to take when setting up a flash web site.I'm thinking I need to go into Photoshop or Fireworks first and design the pages so I can import them.But what about when I get to Flash? Page set-up, size, create layers for each of my pages, import things, where to start adding effects first... I can't decide the most efficient ORDER in which to do things.
View 3 RepliesI did an ActionScript 3 version of my old algorithm made in c language to solve the �Tower of Hanoi� puzzle.
The problem is that I knew how to show the intermediary steps in c language but I don�t know how to do that in ActionScript 3.
The below .as file code uses just three disks of successive bigger diameters ( and different colors ) created as MovieClips in Flash which must move from the first peg to the third one, through appropriate moves, in such way that they end up piled up in the same crescent order as they were in the first peg.
The way the code is written just shows the beginning disks position and the end result but not the intermediary steps.
I want this code being capable to show the successive disks positions on the pegs in each step of the process, each time I right-click the mouse.[code]...
I am making a comic in Flash CS4 using AS2 and I'm trying to figure out how to add a quick crossfade from one keyframe to the next. When the user presses the "next" button, I want the current image to fade down and the next image to fade up. The images are arranged so the heads and text are positioned to the left and right, so as one head fades up the other would fade down, see picture below. It's a conversation.
I understand how to do it if the scene plays automatically, but I want it to stop on each keyframe so the user can take their own time to read the text. I'm just starting out and used another tutorial to come up with the AS that is controlling it now. That AS was written when all the keyframes were in a row next to each other. Now I've adding some blank frames between them to create space for the Tweens, but I don't know how to modify the AS so it steps from keyframe to keyframe. It's still stepping though one frame at a time.
I'm about to start work on my first app which will be an internal release to gather customer information at a trade show.I'm hopefully looking into using air for ios or maybe one of the various html/js frameworks to develop this app as an alternative to learning C.ideally I would do it with some server based php > sql to store and share gathered information between a fleet of iPads, unfortunately due to the population of this trade show there will be no guarantee that i can maintain a wireless connection so need to prepare for these apps all being local access only.in which case, how would you recommend going about the saving/reading of the stored data, and also how to sync it up with a sql server and then back to the iPads each night.
View 1 Repliesi put a shape tween on the timeline that shrinks a shape a certain number of pixels in a given time. my problem is that it shrinks too smoothly in the movie! I need it to shrink in a step by step fashion, and i'd like to be able to specify the number of steps. i'm hoping that there's a simple parameter that i can use to do this. or may be there would be a way to slow down this tween? by changing the fps locally without effecting the rest of the movie? i will need a solution that will work for motion tweens too, but imagine that the principle will be the same also, as a second question, is it possible to tween a bitmaps tint color style so that it changes from say red to green over a number of frames?
View 5 RepliesI am currently looking at a way of visualising data and a part of the algorithm needs something 99% the same as A* Path Finding but I cannot wrap my head round it fully. I know it will be a fairly simple modification. (specific cost instead of least cost)
Basically I need to plot a path (2D Grid, no Diagonals) from point A to point B in X number of steps.
E.g. If the start and end points were right next to each other and I needed the path to be 3 steps it would have a tiny loop. (moves: up, right, down). Is there a known name for this algorithm or is the use of this so rare it's uncommon? I am currently looking at this AS3 Librbay for modification as it is apparently very fast and seems clean and simple to me:[URL]..
how do i make so that when i press a button instead of juz moving from point A to B, it will move from point A to B then C then D then E. and then i will click again and it will go 5 more steps and so on..? because i tried to write it astargetIndex += 5;but obviously it won't work coz instead of going thru 2, 3, 4, 5... it jumps straight from 1 to 5
View 9 RepliesI have a circular mc (wheel2) and this should rotate 'smooth' in steps of 45º, to the left and to the right (buttons).The script I use on the button (right);
on(release){var rotate:Function = function (obj:MovieClip) { obj._rotation += 3; if (obj._rotation == 45) { clearInterval(interval); } }; var interval:Number = setInterval(rotate, 10, wheel2); stop(); }
It moves ok 'once' then it spins 360º. Should I set a new value for my mc?
Trying to create a game with several levels with multiple sequential steps in each.
So far I've created a document class ("Controller") which initializes the game and then calls functions in a sequential fashion:
Code:
function initGame()
{
xmlGameData = new XML( ... );
displayStartDialog();
[Code].....
As the project grows I'm afraid this structure will not do.
How should I keep track of the state of the game, tween objects in and out, show scores etc.
Should all the logic be handled by the controller or how much should be outsourced to other classes?
I'm trying to get smoother steps in checking the ProgressEvent when loading the image to the Loader.At this moment my eventrogressEvent checks the progress aprox twice within a second. Is there any way to make it check constantly (or more often), so the progres bar "grows" smoothly instead of "jumping"?

View 1 RepliesI am using Adobe Citrus and Air. The goal is to make a voice chat application with low latency. I take the sound samples that I get from the Microphone SAMPLE_DATA_EVENT encode them in using Native Process and speexenc.exe.
The question with method should I use for the sending of the samples. I tried object repication and the latency is to big.
I have developed a chat site and would like to add a sound notification (beep or something) when there is a new message kind of like facebook chat.
I know this requires flash but have no idea on how this could be accomplished. Can anybody explain how to make this or a good resource that explains it?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to save the text in the chat window from sky poker. A standard select all and copy then paste will only extract the text visible at the time. It is not possible to scroll and select all the text.It is possible to view all the chat box text that has taken place while you have the window open.I guess that what is happening is you are simply viewing what exists on the chat log of the server via the poker window.What I would like to do is either:
i) get the chat text (I expect this is only possible if it is saved on my pc)
ii) harvest the text as it happens.
