im just wondering if theres a way to get the real x and y positions of an object in the real movie ( the root screen) that is locted in another movie
i have an object which is within 2 movie clips, first one and then another , and then my object, now i want to know what the real x and y positions of it is, not the locations realtive to the movieclip it is inside.
I have a Sprite object that I called three methods[code]...
View 1 RepliesI need to get some parameters of a movie adding an as3 code to the beginning. As the code will be inserted in many movies, I need it to be 'general' without any reference to the names of the clipsIn particular, I need to retrieve mouse coordinates and the real movie width. For real movie width I mean the width to whom are referred the mouse event stageX and stageY.For example in this movie http:[url]... the width I'm talking about is the white frame. In fact if you use
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListenere(MouseEvent.CLICK,func);
function foo(e:MouseEvent):void[code]....
to get coordinates onclick and you click on the top-left corner of the white layer you'll get 0-0 or similar values.I tried to get that relative width using
ActionScript Code:
stage.stageWidth
but this returns me just the object width (so 100% of my page in the previous example) while I need only the white part width.how can I do this without using any name and referring just to the stage of my scene?
I have a byteArray of recorded sound.But how can I transfer the ByteArray data back to a real Sound object?I know that I can pass the ByteArray to an SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA listener , but that way I would have to keep the raw ByteArray and pass it every time the sound plays.
View 2 RepliesWhat is the best way to get the current, "real" frames-per-second of a running Flash movie using Actionscript 2? By "best", I mean it should be accurate over a period of time (i.e. it does some averaging) and with a minimal built-in performance overhead.
View 1 RepliesNo matter WHAT I have tried.... a sniffer, no sniffer, stand alone on a webpage by itself.This slash file which is in a popup window 600x400 will not display 600x400 in firefox. It always is 20-40 px larger in both directions. I can't take it anymore!! What the hell is the matter with firefox his file is 6 years old for gosh sakes. It works and has worked online for years... so whats the Firefox problem all the sudden I am begging !If I can find a good flash designer who knows php, js, and html well, I am going to have future projects. But this little gem is a good promotional tool.... but the problem is......... FIREFOX wont display it right ! And why does firefox INSIST on putting the location bar in html popup windows! The window is the right size 600x400.... the flash is not... even with dimension definitions

View 1 RepliesI'm currently using the Graphics library to draw bands of color across an image (bitmap).So, I draw a square of colored bands, and mask it with the bitmap image. Unfortunately, when I use a mask (or even set the blend mode to .LAYER, OR use a shader filter) the FPS drops to un-usable levels.Is there some way that I can draw the bitmap shape I want without killing the FPS? I was thinking that I could like, draw the bitmap on top of the sqaure of Graphics, and then make a certain color transparent.
View 7 RepliesI have this big JSFL project I'm working on that involves deleting a raw shape (ungrouped) and then replacing it with another one. The problem is that the original shape doesn't always actually get erased (I haven't figured out the precise circumstances where this happens yet though). Even if it does get deleted, though, when I draw the new shape on the stage (using Path.makeShape), the new shape has extra vertices where its edges cross those of the original shape. So even if I end up with the correct-looking shape on the stage without the one that was there before, my shape I just created is likely to have extraneous vertices (and I need the vertices to be unchanged).
View 2 RepliesI want to create an application like this:
[URL]
What is the most efficient way to create this real time application ?Flash ? Long polling ? Http Streaming ? or anything else ?
when I check the width of my objects I always get 0. Here is an example:
newTag = new LinkButton();
newTag.label = dataManager.tagViewTimelineModel.tags.getItemAt(i).name;
newTag.setStyle("color","#FFA500");[code]....
I guess because width is a property I can set, but it is not automatically computed by Flex. How can I know how big are my objects (as conseguence of the included text ?)
Is it possible to make swfaddress, or any script really, to allow flash to change the URL displayed(without actually switching to a new page) in the browser to anything I choose? I realize that swfaddress makes the url so that it will always refer back to an originating swf file, which is great, but a web template I'm working on will always load a swf, no matter what URL you visit on the site. The difference will be what content is immediately loaded. As you navigate through the flash to different articles, I want to be able to change the URL to be that of the article as if it was an html page, as I'm going to have matching html content for SEO purposes. This is going to be a large site and I want to optimize it for sharing and searchability
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to play the video (mp4) in real time using some flash player? What I mean by in real-time is that player would receive data on the fly, not from alredy saved file but e.g. php script (which sends appropriate content-type header) THAT IS DOWNLOADING AND 'ECHO-ing' THE FILE AT THE TIME PLAYER PLAYS IT - like e.g. some kind of live stream.

Lets say that I have a MC called "myMovieClip", and in it there is a: Layer 1: 100px X 100px square Layer 2: 200px radius circle And Layer 1 is set as a mask for Layer 2. Is there a simple way to get the dimensions of the visible elements of the mask effect, and not the bounds of all of the elements in "myMovieClip"?

View 1 RepliesI have a C executable (named myprogram). When I run it by ./myprogram I get some output statements on the standard output of my Linux shell. I used run.php to get access to whatever is being printed to the standard output:
#run.php
<?php
$output = shell_exec('./myprogram');
echo $output;
?>
Then I called an HTTPService having id="service" to access this run.php file and I also set the text attribute of a TextArea to {service.lastResult}. When I run my Flex app, the interface kind of halts for a moment and then the TextArea displays all the 20 lines at once. But if program is run from Linux shell they appear one by one. Is there a way by which I can display a line as soon as it gets printed to standard output? This will then make the TextArea show the output in real time.
Or is Flex unable to do this? Rather how can a PHP program achieve such effect i.e. showing, whatever is being printed on standard output, concurrently in the browser in real time? Myprogram outputs 20 lines each after some microseconds. I want only the first line of standard output to appear in TextArea of Flex or in the browser (but in real time) while the program may then continue running the program.
I am now developing a Flex application in which I need to control each pixel of my control of Flex. I want to calculate that how width and how height of some text used in my control and do some layout stuff.After some searching I find that the only way to draw text in Flex is to use something like TextField. So, I use TextField to display text and try to get the width and height of the text through:
textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).width/.height;
But the real textfield is much more bigger than this, so I do:
textfield.width = textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).width;
textfield.height = textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).height;
But, the textfield get part not displayed, and I am surprised by this effect. I know there should be a 2-pixel gutter around the text, but what the remain space? Why nearly 20% part of the text height/width are not displayed?
how can I get a real drawText call in Flex, I mean something like Windows's drawText method...
Just a simple question: Would you prefer IntelliJ? If so, what are the Pro- and Cons?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flex/AIR application communicating with a PHP server application. Recently my client requested real-time-like connectivity between the applications to replace what we currently have; refresh buttons which have to be clicked to refresh data.So effectively the server needs to push data to the client when something changes. I can write the code that detects when something changes, but I'm not sure about the push side of things.

View 9 RepliesI'm looking to create something within Flash that I've not yet seen done.It will be a shared, real-time interactive session. What I want to know is, is it possible to create an individual, private session within Flash that is synchronized between two or more computers? I am doing this for the medical profession, but I can also see this would have benefits in the gaming community as well. I'm trying to create something that two specific users can interactively share in real time.
For example,a coloring book.Two players,or as many as you want, log in together and share a private coloring session. They will be able to interactively see anything that the other person is coloring in real time.The other people would also be able to color and let everyone else see their work.
I want to do a flash that changes based on the time of day. For example to load right .swf on container MC at the right time of the day.
