While recursive scans are commonly use to scan through nested objects / data. It can go on an infinite loop, if some of the objects references one another. So what is the most effective way to scan all items, without crashing the computer, nor skipping a specified parameter?
Here is an example of a recursive scanner...
/**
* Triggers the scan function for each object given
**/
function recursiveScanner( object:* , scanFunction:Function ):void {
[Code].....
The objects will trigger scans for one another in an eternal loop.
I do believe in C/C++ : Each scanFunction call, will be added into a list consisting of scanned 'memory address', thus preventing a repeat. Is this even possible in AS3? Is there a more elegent way?
I'm trying to find a way of playing a presentation with product information and movie animation (flash or HTML with embedded movie) using a barcode scan as the activator. Ie, a customer would scan 1 of around 20 products on a barcode scanner, and product info and a movie would play. Anyone have any ideas of how this can be done. I've been out of the flash world for a while, so not sure if it has the capability. If someone has the ability to put this together, there would be some $$ involved. brendan.lake@circle-square.net
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to create a folder for the copied video frames access the individual frames frome a .flv video file and/or .swf file save these frames to the auto-created folder I assume one would need to do this using Action Script 3 to scan through the .swf and .flv files and extract the frames.

View 1 RepliesWhen I first open my project, I want the visuals to stay on the 1st frame, while Flash scans through and creates an array of all the frame labels and their relative frame numbers.
Would be useful to be able to specify a layer to search for labels on, and/or search for any and all frame labels in an mc.
Way I can import a .txt file into flash, check for EXACT duplicate words and then resave it out as a .txt file with the duplicates removed ?
View 6 RepliesI was interested in searching through text in a textfield, and applying text formatting to keywords. For example, every time the word 'the' appears, apply a text format that changes it to green and 14pt. Here is an example of a format and text applied to a textfield. How would I go about searching through the textfield and applying this format only to specific words? my_txt.text = 'The cat jumped over the house.'
/// my format I want to apply
with (_lt_fmt) {
align = 'left';
blockIndent = 0;

I was hoping to do this from a flash plugin, kind of how flash accesses the microphone or webcam but it doesn't seem possible. Is this going to be possible using Java, or ActiveX, or some other strategy that I haven't looked at yet?The idea is to do it without a client install, or at least something lightweight and browser and platform independent.

I'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound that is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.
So I managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do I get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do I connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
This is the code id used to import the webcam.
Code:
import flash.media.Camera;
import flash.media.Video;
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if (camera != null) {
video.attachCamera(camera);
} else {
trace("You need a camera.");
}
I have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state. So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips. I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it. It is really annoying.. I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.
View 5 RepliesThe movie was designed in several flash files, each has been combined into a single movie clip and then all the movie clips have been moved into the master document.
Each movie clip is on a single slide.
They play through and when a clip reached the end I have used the actionscript root.gotoAndPlay(x) where x is the slide number of the next clip in the sequence as such my timeline looks like this[code]...
We're making a viral video which is going to be distributed as FLV movie file free for download and redistribution.
I don't know much about flash yet but I can imagine FLV is just some sort of special flash application which can also include arbitrary code.
Is it possible to track how many times that movie file has been played by letting the FLV file perform a server-callback when playback begins?

I have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.
View 3 RepliesWhenever I am trying to open a swf file (any swf file) or test a movie from the flash ide the internal player is blank and output has the msg error opening url "the path of the swf file here".This is not a problem that has to do with loading external files etc. It just refuses to open any swf file and ofc or test any movie cause it keeps saying error in opening url even in blank movies.
The simplest thing New File -> AS3 -> Test Movie -> Error in opening url I can publish the movie with no problem at all and I can run all the swf files outside of flash ide. I can debug movie from flash ide. I can html preview it from flash ide but i can't just hit cmd+enter to test the fraking movie.

I'm having some trouble following this (link) tutorial. I'm new to flash, so please bear with me.

I'm having a problem with pathways. I have a main sfw called "loadgallery.swf" and upon clicking buttons in that movie, it loads other swf galleries into a container called "movie." It is working when I test it in Flash, but not when I put it into an html page (two levels up from the swf files) and preview it in a browser.Here's the AS on a button (which works when tested in Flash):
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("../../galleries/swfs/gallery1.swf", movie);
[code]....
say i have a main movie, into this movie is loaded another movie on level_1.
is there any actionscript that allows a button inside the loaded movie control the main movie? i.o.w. can a button inside the loaded movie tell the main movie to go to another scene?
+ i am looking for code for that same button to unload the movie it is in itself..
Does anyone know if it is possible to set the quality of a particular movie clip rather than the entire flash movie?
For example, say i wanted to start a drag of a movie clip. So when it started, the quality of that particular movie clip would be set to 'low' then when the drag is stopped it is set back to 'best'
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
