Does anyone know if there is some kind of program that can convert the XML paths to Flash paths. Hmm...what I'm after is some little program that basically lets me open up an XML file, point on a node or attribute and the program will the flashpath to this node/attribute, where the path is something like: his.firstchild.childnode[2].attribute.jadajada

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
View 11 RepliesI simply want to put a movie on my website. I have other flash movies on my site that work fine. I import the video for progressive view. Publish the .fla. I get a .swf and an .html. I upload the files to my website and NOTHING! I check them locally and they work fine. Then I publish them again and they no longer work locally.
Flash 8 publishes them by default to my desktop. But if I use the default paths in CS4 the files don't even publish...they are nowhere to be found even with a search of my HD. I took html code from my site that was working and just changed the .swf file name. that didn't work either.

I'm working on this project where anyone can upload an image through ASP then sends the link of the uploaded image to an XML that is read by flash...Is it posible that flash read diferent paths so many users can upload their image at the same time and each one of them see their own image?
View 0 RepliesI've made a project which uses double slashes ("\") on paths for source files like sounds,xml etc. It works fine on a CD but I want to uploaded on a server.The swf files which use those paths work fine on IE but not on firefox,safari,opera etc. I red that the problem is the slashes that I used in paths. They should be backslashes like "/Sounds/somesound.mp3" and not "\Sounds\somesound.mp3".I found that firefox translates "\Sounds\somesound.mp3" to a single file named "Soundssomesound.mp3", the directory "Sounds" now turns to a part of the filename.
If I place and rename the source files like "Soundssomesound.mp3" on the server in the same directory with the swf file (not in "Sounds" directory) this way works on firefox, but does not work on IE. I have to place the source files in both ways to work in all browsers but that's not good...I know that the best thing that I can do is to change the path syntax in fla's but the project is to big.
I have created an animation using a motion tween. When I publish it as an SWF, it correctly does not show the green motion path. However, when I export as an AVI, it actually shows the path in the AVI video. How can I "turn off" the path display

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to avoid using FXG in one of my applications but run into a problem where the captured bitmap is not exactly the same as the original filled FXG paths.Originally, let's say I have a 3 shapes that are adjacent to each other (you can imagine a pie chart with 3 slices). I used "cutImage" function below to capture the filled bitmap data and display the 3 pictures. However, we discovered that there is a 1 pixel gap on the side where each shape meets the other shapes. Not sure if there is any relationship, but the captured bitmap is exactly the same as displaying the filled path directly but with "cacheAsBitmap" set to true. If we just display the filled paths with cacheAsBitmap set to false, there are no gaps between the shapes

Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.

I'm loading external jpgs into a swf movie. This works fine from the swf. The problem is when I embed it in the html. File Structure that I want:
movie.html
FolderB>
ImageFolder>image.jpg
movie.swf (path to the images is ImageFolder/image.jpg
When I run the movie.swf from within the directory, it runs fine. However, when I embed it in the movie.html it doesn't run. Question: Are paths from the swf relative to the PAGE that the swf is contained in vs the swf itself? Hope that makes sense.
I need to clarify some issues in my mind about paths to duplicates b/c while I thought I understood them well enough, I am not obtaining the desired results when working with them. In the below examples, I'm gonna leave out as much extra AS as possible and all of the main MCs are on the _root level.

where the bombHitArea MC is only in the first frame within "bombMC" so that as soon as it hits, it advances to a label where the hit area is not present and that hitTest cannot = true, so the whole thing can only play once per hit. When the bullet dups hit the bomb dups, each bomb should explode individually, correct?
I want to have a script that goes something along like this.. I have a moveclip on the stage. and in it.. i have a variable "variable1 = true".
the movieclip would be named "clip1"..
if it were on the maintimeline..I would reference it like this..
PHP Code:
trace(_root.clip1.variable1)
and it would work.. and it'll trace me true..
however.. what i want to do is.. because the "clip1" won't always be on the maintimeline.. maybe if it were in another movieclip called "clip1234"..
i wanted to create something like this.
PHP Code:
path = "_root.clip1234";trace([path].clip1.variable1)
so.. like this.. i can easily just change the "path" variable and it'll always know where to look for the variable..
i have a main page that loads a swf of an xml photogallery onto the main stage. I used the classpath in actionscript settings to target the actionscript files and xml data. So far, everything works well. Now, a button on the stage unloads this swf and then loads a second photogallery. The problem is that when it appears, it contains the same data (images) as the first photogallery. This is because it is using the same classpath as the first gallery. My question is how can i assign each gallery its own class path. It seems that only one can be selected at a time.

I am working on a project that uses PHP, AS3, and AMFPHP. The project allows users to upload and download images among other things. Since I am fairly new to PHP/FLash security I have been trying to gather as much info about making things as secure as possible. I've got some good advise about using .htaccess files, and a few other tricks.
My main question at the moment is how to hide the "path" info from and to the PHP / assets / and to and from the AMFPHP services ... Currently I have all the paths hard-coded in one .as that returns an object with the paths to any of the other classes that need/request it. I found this method to work well since I only need to change this one .AS , and it will branch out to the other classes that need it.
When I trace the variable it comes out fine. But when I try to toggle the visibility with it, it doesn't work. I can toggle visibility when I manually type the path name. What am I missing?
PHP Code:
tempHolder.onRelease = function() {
arrowName = "arrow"+this._name.slice(5);

I have two swfs, index.swf and history.swf. History.swf loads and xml file and some images using a relative path. This swf works fine on it's own.When I load history.swf from within index.swf to display it on stage, I get an error saying "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at History()"
I ran a test loading a basic test.swf (just text on stage) from within index.swf and it works fine.I am guessing that maybe once the history.swf is loaded into index.swf, the relative paths within history.swf are failing.
I have a variable in the _root called 'ordered'. I have another variable called 'total' inside a function called 'loadXML'. 'total' receives a number value from a node in a XML file correctly. I now want to transfer this value to the variable 'ordered' which, as I said, is in the _root. However, 'total' is restricted to the function and I can't access it from the variable in the _root. Neither can I transfer the value from the variable in function to the _root.ordered, since such a line targets the _root of the function itself.I guess this isn't too hard to solve, probably just a path issue, but I have a few rather large gaps in my knowledge of actionscripting.On the stage, there are three objects; a movieclip with the instance name 'clip', a movieclip with the instance name 'orderbox' and finally a dynamic text field with the instance name 'pos_txt'.[code]

View 2 RepliesI create a projector for Linux by executing a swf file in flash player and chosing "create projector" from the file menu. The initial swf loads external resources (using MovieClip Loader.loadClip for example). In the swf this works fine but in the projector this fails. The projector seems to always execute in the users home directory no matter where it is in the file system, thus to find the external resources the path should be relevant to the users home directory. The problem i now have is that my application will be packaged and distributed on a cd rom. At development time i have no idea of the path to where the cd-rom will be mounted in the end users machine.For what motive does the projector execute in the users home directory and not in its real location?
