ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Pdf At Runtime From Flash Content
Jan 25, 2010
I'm currently using the print class to create a nice bitmap-based summary of user input. Wondering if it's possible to somehow push this out into a file that can be emailed (by a script).
Typically you create a Vector (strongly typed array) specifying a data type like:
new Vector<PictureBox>();
However I need to create a utility method that should be able to create a vector of any given datatype. Is it possible to specify a type using a variable instead of hard-coding it?
I'm working with Runtime Sharing, and can't get past this issue...In my Import.fla document, I import for Runtime Sharing the movieclip "StarIcon" from Export.swf. It has the class "StarIcon".how to access "StarIcon" via Import.fla's document class. When I try to say
Code: var newIcon:StarIcon = new StarIcon(); addChild(newIcon);
I get a 1046:Type not found: StarIcon error.If I add that same code to Export.fla, it works fine... but obviously I don't want to use it there.Do I have to do something special in my document class to access the runtime sharing import?
I am working on a project and I am trying to figure out how to resize the swf at runtime based on the content (which is brought in by xml) . What I am trying to do is similar to [url]... but unfortunately this is written in AS1 and doesnt help me much!I know I need to use the ExternalInterface but I am very new to AS3 and am not sure how to do this. I have searched and searched all over the internet and still can't figure it out.
I want to create banner and do exchange with others.Banner will be flash because it will load just entry titles with URL's from XML, which is on my site.
I wanted to create an application installer (per chapter) like the one implemented on the product on this site:[url]...i have no problem creating flash apps but i'm so lost on making installers , like update installers for the same app.. the idea is that on first installation of my app, other contents are not available until the user downloads it from my site and install it on their pc. and that installer will just update the existing one with the new downloaded content.
For example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?
So web is full of articles on bada (1.2) not having fp9 or having only flash lite 4, or only 3.1... So wikipedia talls us about full FP9 support. I wonder have any one trued to create a widget for Bada (1.2) with FP9 inside? Is it possible ore flash lite 3.1 is limit for widget?
Here's what I'd like to know: is it possible to run a SWF in a browser (as a kiosk), then have a separate browser window load on top of the SWF so it looks like it's part of the SWF?
I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")
I have to create a banner that expands over content when moused over and then contracts on mouse out. I have managed to create the expand/contract animations and actions but I am having trouble positioning the that the flash file is in to ensure that it's flows over other elements on the page.
I have an iframe to a page where a Flash swf file is running; does anybody have an idea how to make it transparent so that my drop-down menu should be shown perfectly? Kindly be informed I can't edit the source page (add param = wmode, value = transparent to the Flash object), only if there is any chance to make it possible in iframe or some JavaScript on my page, I have already tried allowtransparency="true" and background-color="transparent".
I am dynamically creating movie clips using something similar to[code]...
This works fine for creating and loading movie clips, but at the same time I'd like to apply functions to these clips as they're created. For example, I'd like to apply a distinctive onMouseDown or onRollOver behavior to each ie ...
I am using Flash CS4. I insert and build a SWF file just fine. In the component inspector there is a preview entry but there is a note that says it is only for development not runtime. It says to use ActionScript and the Export option. I have used the Export Option to create the thumbnail image but I have no idea how to setup the ActionScript.
my goal is to have a small circle movie clip (would it work as a movie clip?) spawn when the mouse button is pressed. I know how to add the code for the button being pressed, but I do not know how to create the object on demand.
I was wondering if it was possible to create a mask at runtime. To clarify, I have an image that I would like to reveal as a user starts to draw on it.
So as you may or may not know, BlazeDS (open source version of LiveCycle Data Services) is a nice way to get your server-side Java and client-side Flex application to play together. Unfortunately, it does have several pitfalls that need to be corrected. I'll try to explain one of them here.
All of BlazeDS's configuration is written via XML files in the flex/ folder of your webapp. The default names are separated for clarity, such as services-config.xml, remoting-config.xml, messaging-config.xml, etc. In these configuration files (particularly services-config.xml), Channels are defined; these setup URIs and objects used to capture and send information between the server and the client. In these config files, it is quite common to use a syntax like so:
[Code]...
Unfortunately, what they don't tell you is that some of these key-in replacements (ie: {context.root}) are not replaced dynamically upon execution but upon compilation of the WAR file you intend to distribute. Obviously not a good idea when switching domains.
So, instead I seek to dynamically define these channels. According to the documentation, that's all good and fine, but it only works if the channel already exists when the webapp is launched. I feel like that sort of defeats the point. So my question is, how do you truly create channels dynamically so that both the client and the server recognize their existence?
How can i create native installer for windows, MAC and linux, which will check the system if air runtime is not install in the user system then installer will 1st install the AIR runtime and then the AIR application.
Do we need to use any third party software to achicve this?
For checking system wether the AIR runtime is install or not Do we need to write custom script or installer will automatically get things done.
This is what I try to do: I am creating a game with spoken sentences. These sentences are loaded dynamically from an XML file, which contains the paths to mp3-files.This is what is currently happening: All sentences are spoken at the same time.I want them to be spoken one after another - how to I obtain this requirement?This is my (simplified) code example:
I wanna add dynamically (at runtime) new states to a container and, to this states, add different elements (like TextInput, Label etc.). This must be done from actionscript, I don't use any mxml file. I can add states and change properties or styles for different elements, but I didn't figured out how to add child elements for different states.
How would I create a strongly typed class at runtime (so to be able to create instances of it)? It can't be a proxy.
Additional Info: For example, say I want to create a Person class with first and last where both are Strings.
Context This is for an application that lets you create the data model and custom components at runtime. This is only part of it. I need to be able to have strong typing. If that means going to the server and creating a new SWF on the server with the value objects then loading in the definition at runtime then I would but that is a lot more work if there is an alternative.
Is there a way to create a replicating a display object on runtime, so it imitates all the actions done on the original, or do I have to perform every action I'm doing on the original, on the replica as well? I thought maybe there's a way by making a Bitmap object out of the original and updating it each time, but I don't have lots of experience using these kinds of methods.
Is it possible to create wrong Regular expression in ActionScript/Flex which will cause runtime error? I've tried so many weird regexpes in Flex and Flex never complained! How do I know If my regexp valid?
I want to add MovieClips from the library at runtime onEnterFrame to create a trail behind the movieClip that is moving on stage: [Code]...
This just creates one instance of a movieClip "Follower". But how to make trail like effect - adding movieClips onEnter frame and positioning them according to "mcToFollow"?
