are there some limitations to the css that can be used in an externally loaded style sheet and externally loaded textfile? I'm using the kirupa tutorials:URL...The "width" property doesnt seem to make a difference, or text-align. font-family and size and color seem to render ok, though.URL..

I have a quite large AS3 project, that involves loading external images and videos. The videos are requested one at a time. But for the sake of the UI experience I decided to load all images at once, added them to a container in different movieclips and then fade them in and out.
It all works fine, while I have 10 to 15 images, over that it starts to deteriorate the performance. Actually I'm not even sure that the problem is the performance, but the thing is that flash starts doing weird clunky behaviors, specially related to mouse interaction.This is a link where it works fine, with about 8 images in the xml.

Probably the solution would be loading one by one, but if it's performance, what's going to happen when the timer slider cycles through 30 and they are all loaded anyways?
Code:
var slideNo:Number;
slideNo = 0;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);

limits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.
I currently have a script that allows the user to click on a right or left arrow to scroll across a movie under a mask, but currently they can scroll it so you don't see anything in the middle. How can I add an X and Y axis limitations so this doesnt happen to the following script:
Code:

View 1 Replies[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);

If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I've looked at a few demos from adobe that show apps built with Flex 4.5 running on iOS from simple list views to video capture. This has made me wonder if its an effective solution to build cross platform mobile apps.
For those of you who have taken Flex 4.5 mobile for a spin, what is your impression on the capability and performance on iOS. Is there anything you can't do with Flex 4.5 mobile that you couldn't with a native app? Are there any limitations?
I want to use a camera which is installed in my computer in a Flex AIR application I'm writing, and I have few questions regarding the quality options : Do I have any limitation on the video image quality? If my camera supports HD recording, will I be able to record in HD format via the AIR application? How can I export the recorded video in any format I want? If I want to use the same camera for shooting stills, how can I ensure (within the code) the best quality for the result pictures?
View 1 RepliesI'm dynamically loading a CSS file and text file to populate a TextField. As far as the default styles are concerned, no problem!But as soon as I try stuff like p.title, the style is not applied. Is this a restriction of the CSS support that Flash/Flex offers? Do I have to resort to the "simpel-style-selectors" like ".title" or "p" in my CSS?
Works:
Code:
.title { color:#FF0000; }
Doesn't work:
Code:
p.title { color:#FF0000; }
ps: I know that Flash doesn't support everything that CSS has to offer, but I'm looking for confirmation of someone who can tell me for a fact that the above p.class-selector is not supported.
Does anyone know if Flash has a limitation on dynamically imported jpegs? I find that maybe 30% (maybe more) of the jpegs I have do not import into Flash (using LoadMovie).I think I read somewhere that you can't import progressive jpegs dynamically. Is that it? Or is there something else?

if mouse events are used instead of touch events on touch enabled devices, does that limit "touch" input to one touch at a time.
if a mouse down event is currently in progress will a following mouse down event simply not register or cancel the previous?
how are mouse events, historically used as single control pointers on desktop systems, handled on touch enabled devices capable of several simultaneous touch points?
event classes have a clone() function typically used to fire multiple events, so i'm assuming MouseEvent is not limited. however, my goal is to actually limit my application to one touch at a time (exclusive touch), but i'm not sure if this will be automatically handled with the use of mouse events.

Flash AS2, AS3, and so on have many limitations. For example it is almost impossible to do transitions from a straight path to a curved one and vice versa for example as required in a in a car race game. You may have go for a frame by frame animation which is very cumbersome.
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to determine what limitations SSAS has that the C++ plug-in architecture can rectify.
Currently I have determined that C++ plug-ins can provide the following benefits: Quality of service increase/decrease based on client info via reserving a set of core processes for premium clients, then have a set of core processes for everyone else. Additional layer of security in the Authorization plug-in
I have not been able to find very many features that the C++ plug-in can provide that you can not provide with some code in the SSAS. So I guess I am just looking for a comparison table of advantages/disadvantages between the C++ and SSAS. How can I exploit the C++ plug-in architecture to do amazing things that the SSAS can not?
I am trying to let the user import giant images into a flash application. Unfortunately the BitmapData object's dimensions cannot exceed "8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels" (see Reference)
Obviously with FlashPlayer11 these limitations vanish - BUT: As I only get bytes from the FileReference, I need to convert these via Loader.loadBytes(), to get access to the image data. This doesn't seem to work for images exceeding the old BitmapData limitations.

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;

I've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
