How can I make the trace command to return 2 instead of 1?
is there a difference between trace bitmap and using command B?
If not I find that command B retains more detail of the bitmap.
New AS3/Flash Builder user here. I'm debugging an AS3 project using Flash Builder 4.5, and debug version of Flash plug-in in Firefox. I'm using a trace() command, but it's not outputting anything in the Console window of Flash Builder (is that where it's supposed to place stuff?). However, I'm wondering why the trace() command is even needed because the Variables tab in the debug perspective contains all the variable values anyway. Is the trace() command redundant or otherwise useful somehow in this environment, or is it intended for command line debugging, etc. (non-Flash Builder environment).
View 1 RepliesI know trace() function can print information,but it must run under flex builder environment or other GUI tools environment.I want to know if there is a statement can replace of trace(),because sometimes I need print information for debug and I don't want to use flex builder too,and I only use mxmlc command to compile as file into swf file. When I click swf file,I want to get trace information. I search the google,it say C:Documents and SettingsAdministratormm.cfg can log trace information,I make following content in this file:ErrorReportingEnable=1TraceOutputFileEnable=1When I use flashplayer_10_sa_debug.exe to run this swf file,then I lookup C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataMacromediaFlash PlayerLogsflashlog.txt,but I can't find any information in this file! Why? Where is wrong? My OS is XP.

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.
View 6 RepliesI'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?

View 9 RepliesI was trying to retrieve binary data over HTTP for my Flex application, and was running into some stumbling blocks. HTTPService did not seem to deal with binary data well, people said to use URLLoader. But URLLoader does not have the nice AsyncToken/IResponder interface that HTTPService provides.
So, I did some searching and could not find anyone extending URLLoader to provide this kind of functionality. I went ahead and took a stab at it myself: [URL].. Basically it wraps a URLLoader and an AsyncToken, and maps the COMPLETE, IO_ERROR, and SECURITY_ERROR events from URLLoader to results/faults that get raised on the AsyncToken.

How do I get an array to return correctly? Doing trace(VI1.getData()[0]) doesn't work either.
I am trying to write functions as efficient and reusable as possible. One function in particular I wrote was designed to easily create new objects from externally loaded files. The problem I have is that I can't think of a way to make the function wait for an event listener to complete before returning the desired object. Here is what I have so far and I will point out where the problem is.
Code:
var myNewObj:Object = loadFile(parentName, "swfs/" , "file.swf");
function loadFile(parentObj:Object, urlLocation:String, fileName:String):Object{
var fileLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
