i'm trying to create a swf that retrieves the users location (town)I've looked about online and it seems this could be done by using longitutde/latitude values for example(Guessing thats how you would do it - open to suggestions though!)I've seen working examples of this on various peices of flash that magically tell you what town your.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a new website it's going to show a room & I think it would be kinda cool if this room had a window in in that outside showed the current local weather and portrayed day/night. I can make a script to check the weather on yahoo but I cant find a way of finding out the users location. It does't need to be exact, even just having the country will do.
View 2 RepliesCan I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
View 3 RepliesI am making a head unit "wall" for an AV store. the wall will have all the various head units they carry. When clicked, I want a small overlay to come up over the rest of the app that displays basic info about the unit. Then a simple click to make the box disappear... There are several head units, so efficiency would be ideal.
View 0 RepliesI'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPService accurately retrieves all the data. However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it some how always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script. If I terminate the flex app and restart it, it will retrieve the accurate data.
ActionScript Code:
private function loadWsData():void{
var webService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
webService.url = serviceUrl;
webService.method = "GET";
webService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, function(event:ResultEvent):void{
var rawData:String = String(event.result);
var user:Object = JSON.decode(rawData).user;});
webService.send();}
I'm trying to create a grid where the users can 'draw' across it and change the colors of the grid squares to a chosen color.In the following code, I'm creating the grid with squares. I've got the functionality 'working', but it's only working on the last square instanced.How do I get it to work on all the squares, not just the last one?

I want to make a game where a user logs in. Once the user logs in, they have access to a database (let's just say a database of weapons). They could choose a certain amount of "weapons" and every time they log in, they still have the same weapons, regardless of cookies, because the "weapons" are linked to their username. Then the users could use their weapons to battle other users. Also, the user's username keeps track of their wins and losses. I have newb to basic flash knowledge (I took an animations class); I could animate, make buttons, websites, etc. Does anyone have some insight that could point me in the right direction?
View 2 RepliesI am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D). So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful. I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers
I am developing a ASP.NET web site where users will need to be able to create their own business cards. So, I'm looking for a tool (most likely Flash) that I can easily integrate into a web site and lets users add text and custom images to their cards and then create an image and/or PDF from their work.
is there a plugin that does this?

i'm trying to create an online brochure that users design with products/images they've selected. users will be able to drag a thumbnail to a pre-designed area, then swap them around to their liking. currently i'm in the beginning stages and just learning the power of actionscript.
i've attached two sample .fla files i've been working with. the first sample i have two thumbnails drag to a target and enlarge to a defined size. the second sample i used a tutorial from flashkit --- drag drop swap. it works but the as is not up-to-date. i'm trying to incorporate the two ideas together but get bizarre effects. most of the examples i find are close but no cigar.
I want to create a flash application where users will have access to 10, 5 seconds audio loops. They can choose any 4 tracks to make a 20 second track. I then want that mp3 to be stored somewhere or flash to create to a file which can be sent to friends in facebook where they can listen to that beat. There will be a little button at the bottom saying 'click here' to make your own beat.

I'm trying to create a resizing script for a client that is allowing users to upload photos through their site. SInce most of the photos will be huge this will help in performance. I've had some experience in the saving of a jpeg from Flash but I'm stuck with the scaling. I'm saving the uploaded file to the server. Reloading it into a movie clip, resizing it based on my desired sizes and then saving it back to the server in its new size. When I'm resizing I'm just using the scale properties to resize the loaded large image. When I get my bitmap data of the scale mc it's not taking the data from the scaled clip it's taking the data from the unscaled mc. So my data is basically the upper left hand corner of the original image instead of the whole image.
I've tried nesting the movie clips so that the top clip isn't scaled.I've tried duplicating the data from the scaled clip into a new non scaled clip and that doesn't work either.I've tried not using scale and just using width and height, doesn't work either.
what im trying to figure out is how exactly do you create a minimap that can register each object location
View 2 RepliesI'm using AS 2.0 I have big MC(circle - vector). It's not perfect circle because of Flash.On this circle I have some mc's (small circles - bitmaps) --> I'm using attachMovie on Big circle. I'm rotating with big circle by 45 degrees.
Sometimes I have to delete small circle and create another one at the same location. But after rebuild the position of new small circle is a little bit changed[mm].
It's visible and I'm very disappointed. It happens even the rotation is 0.

View 1 Repliesi have a flash site im working on, with an image gallery. the way the site is designed, when you enter into a gallery, while it's loading the images (lets say 5-10 images), it draws 5-10 gray boxes in the exact spots the images will load into.
the trick is i need to know in advance how big the gray boxes should be (width/height) before the image is fully downloaded.
i found this site: [URL]
but the way he wrote this, as soon as the class determines the images dimensions, it cancels the download.
i'd rather have a fully complete image class that downloads images, dispatches events with the image dimensions as SOON as theyre detected, and fully downloads the images as well.
