Recently, I want to create four floating balloons which are tied up together with a thin core. Now, I need some AS in order to make them look like floating in air smoothlyand slowly along with a thin core. Also wanna give the ballons random scale motion as well.
View 1 RepliesHaving a problem with a little animation involving balloons floating in and then floating out again when a condition is met. There are two ways they can float in or out: from left to right, or completely randomly. I actually like it as coming in (left to right) and going out (random) but it's essentially up to the user.
Since I moved my Array sort code into the function that basically deals with telling the balloons to float off though, I've been having problems. Sometimes one or a couple of the balloons will not float off and I'm kind of boggled as to why. Because it works fine IF the Array sort part is outside this function, I'm wondering whether, when the for loop at the bottom starts running, the Array is still being sorted and that's why some balloons get left behind.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a large flex project. This Project consists of a CORE application, and other sub-applications.The CORE application should contain information that will be shared by all other projects (e.g., link to database, data manager which loads data from the database, application information like height width colors fonts... etc.).
The sub-applications each has a certain task. Each sub-application is a large project by itself so I don't think its a good idea to put all code inside one HUGE project.The CORE project should run the main application, and through a navigation menu, I should be able to click and run other sub-applications.Is there a way to created the CORE application to reference those sub-applications so that I can run them inside of the CORE. At the same time, those sub-applications should reference the CORE applications to get the NetConnection to the database and other important information that they might share?
Where I can find a tutorial creating a Floating AS3 Flash banner? My understanding is that you have to use wmode and div layers, and I don't know what those are? Do you have to use Javascript to open and close the banner? I thought you could use AS3 visible or load to do this? I found this: Sliding flash ad over html content [URL].

View 5 RepliesI have a custom TextInput-based component for date and time with certain restrictions on what's considered "within range". But it's still fine to insert dates that are outside the range. When a user types in a date, on valueCommit, I'd like to be able to display a hovering notification to the user, to inform/warn them that the date is outside the accepted range.
I'm thinking of notifications ala the Validators, but I'd rather not use the Validator mechanism because it's really not validation, just notification. Something like a tooltip, but it will only appear if the user changed the value. Maybe an effect of some sort?
Where do I can find an example or a tutorial of a realistic simulation of a rope tied between two points? I need to make something similar to the interface of Reason, the music app.
View 6 RepliesI have an Actionscript class we'll call Person to make the example easy. I want to have a DataGrid populated with Person objects that has columns displaying things like Name, Birthday, etc. All that is nice and simple, but I would also like to add a checkbox column to select certain people in the DataGrid. An example use case would be as follows:
Display all people. User checks a box next to each person indicating they want some action taken on those selections. Some action is taken on the user selections when the user clicks a button.
It seems like the common solution to this is to make a Selected property on each Person object, but that isn't really a good option for me. The Person object is used throughout the application, and it seems very unclean to have a Selected property which really isn't a concern of the Person class.
I like the type safety of having hard classes like Person, but I don't know how to solve this seemingly simple problem so I can loop through the objects and determine if the person is selected or not.
If I have a component that has some states defined, is there a way to make changes in design mode but not have it tied to a particular state? For example, if I have state1 and state2, any changes in design mode will be based on state1 or state2 (i.e. width.state1). I understand this is the direction Flex is going in but I'm transitioning from a Flex 3 app and right now I just want to make the change to width and not width.state1.

There is a thin border at the top and left margins of my Flash movie when the .html is viewed in a browser. How can it be removed?Here's the movie.One solution suggests replacing some code, but the code they suggest replacing doesn't even exist in my html file.I have found questions similar to mine being asked all over different forums, but their solutions either don't work, or like the above, don't really apply. For such a common problem, finding the solution is getting a little frustrating.

I'm teaching myself actionScript 3.I'm having some difficulty knowing which packages / classes to import from the flash core.I'm still a little shaky on the terminology but I mean these statements at the start of the main AS file.
import flash.display.Sprite;
Are there any good references / cheatsheets that describe what each flash.example.example provides? At least for commonly used packages.
I would like to use the ActionScript 3 Core Library (in order to use the JPEGEncoder functions it includes) that you can download in here[url]...
but I've seen no information on how to install it. Does anybody know how to integrate this library into Adobe Flash CS3/4?
I know it is intended for flex ... but what does that mean ... can I use it in flash ... if not, why not ...
but more importantly: all of the mx classes, spark classes, flashx classes ... why are they NOT for flash? pixels are pixels, matrices are matrices, 0's are 0's, 1's are 1's.
Is it possible? If so, what's the preferred way? I'm seeing lots of ArrayUtil and StringUtil AS3 classes, but I don't like using them as it defeats the purpose of an object (StringUtil.trim(str) instead of str.trim()).

View 1 RepliesThis is giving me major headaches! I'm having trouble even describing the problem in words. Basically, I want to be able to manage a core library (coreLib) of Actionscript classes with the following requirements: latest version is checked out when a new project starts. a dev can make changes to the coreLib and then commit them back into the repo as project is written (maybe bug-fixes, added features, etc.) the project contains a 'snapshot' of the coreLib so that, if returned to months later, it (as automatically as possible) has a copy of the coreLib that has guaranteed compatibility with the project.
I tried using externals but this can break compatibility going backwards. I'm currently exporting the coreLib into the project and its VC'd along with the project. I can't figure out how to get the changes back into the repo though, without just copying over the top and losing history.
I'm developing a p2p mutliplayer game using adobe rtmfp server on facebook using flex 4. I have box2d for physics engine and the hardware acceleration is on. In 60fps, Average cpu cost for 6 players room is %40 for 1.86mhz intel core 2 duo. But in 8 and more players rooms, the cpu usage increases to %50 and fps drops to 50. I'm guessing that flash player uses only 1 core in full performance and resting the other. However I need all cores for 8+ rooms to simulate 60 fps smooth game. Is there a way to make flash use multiple cores at once?
