By default, when you visit a website that is made entirely in Flash and there is a Tme and Date movie clip feature... you know... it gets the current time and date of your computer so you're actually seeing your own time, right? What I've always wanted to do is when you visit a website that is made entirely in Falsh, and you have a Time and Date movie clip that tells the creators current time and the current date instead of just getting the values of your computer time and displaying your own. I'm in the Philippines so I want the visitors of my site to view what time and date is it in the Philippines.

is it I have to setting setInterval in case of update the minutes every seconds.
I have an mx:DateField in my Flex UI that has a formatString="dd.mm.yyyy" attached to it. However, the initial value for that field may not be in the format specified/defined for the DateField (due to legacy reasons). So, currently, if I just set that value (text) on the DateField, the field is shown empty. I think because it fails to accept the value in a format different than what's configured.

View 3 RepliesI've created a small pixel-font that I want to use in a Flash game. Each letter is 6 pixels tall, and 7 pixels wide. I've saved a PNG file with all the letters from A-Z lined up next to each other. Basically, I'd like to be able to have a system where I point to the PNG file and say "A is position (0,0) to (7,6), B is position (7,0) to (14, 6), etc" then render those individually on the screen as letters in my font.
I was inspired to do this by watching (the creator of Minecraft) Notch do it in a video of him making Megagun. So, has anyone done anything like this before? Is there a simple library that will let me do it already?
Reason why few of the pixel fonts look more sharp when we use device font than embedding the font.
View 3 RepliesIn order to use a pixel font in my textfields, I have created a font class in the Flash IDE. Then, I created a TextField instance with the font embedded with the anti aliasing set to bitmap. I export an SWC with all those things.I created a class with a nice API to be able to deal with this stuff easily.In FDT, I use class and this all works properly.
The issue here is that I now want to use one of these textfields as an input. I tried setting the textfield type to TextFieldType.INPUT, however the only thing that this does is allow me to select the text, I cannot type. I also created another asset with the type already set to input, does not work either.I tried with just the asset, not with my class, and then I can type ok.Is there something that prevents a textfield from being editable once it is part of a sprite? Here is the code of my class with the API:
package net.jansensan.as3fflikeui.text
{

I have some dynamic text with a background box that needs to widen to match the width of the text, this is how I am doing it at the moment, by multiplying by the average pixel width of arial. However it doesnt seem to be that accurate
Code:

some browser sizes it looks fine but at others because the mc uses the browser window width and heigth/2 to find the middle of the stage.But at some sizes the half of the browser windows becomes an uneven number, which is blurring the pixel fontthe pixel font is in the mcSite mc) How can I solve this?
My code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';

View 1 RepliesI'm working on creating a new look for my portfolio and had a concept.I would like have one movie clip tween in real time 365 frame increments, while another moves in real time minute or second increments.Along with this, I would like to be able to override the passage of time by scrolling an associated scrollbar.The two tweens would be independent of one another.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a game where the player moves around a map, where the player can walk and where they can't is decided by the color of the pixel they are trying to move onto, which I get using the Bitmap.getPixel method.
What I'd like to do though is when the map image is loaded process it into a sprite or something which I can then use the DisplayObject.hitTest methods on. So I have an array of colors whcih the user can walk on, is there way I could go through each pixel and build something that would let me do that?

View 2 RepliesI have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.
