im just starting to pick flash up again and am working on making an emulation of a cash register from work so that new staff can take it home and learn where all the drinks are etc.. However i am having great difficultly getting back into the swing. The main thing i cant get my head around is i plan to have a variable text box which keeps the orders (already pressed buttons) then totals them up.
View 6 RepliesDoes anybody know of an existing Flex component that does VT500 terminal emulation? We are gradually replacing terminal-based user interfaces with an AIR-based GUI.We would like to have a terminal emulator embedded in that new AIR GUI, in order to give our users an integrated user experience when navigating between our old and new software.Emulation of other VT-series terminals than the VT500 could also be usefull.Btw, I'm not interested in writing it myself (nor having it written for me) because it would only be a nice-to-have in our software architecture.
View 1 RepliesIn Actionscript 3.0 I want to make two timeline animation happen at the same time. I can't seem to get it to work.
Do I need another eventlisetner and function to perform this extra animation or can i nest it in the function that is already there?
Here is my code:
Quote:
stop();
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, closehandler);
function closehandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("closeHere");

The Function is:
Code: Select allfunction Click_Die () {
this.gotoAndStop(die111+die11+die113);
[code].....
how I can make a certain code that works on the time line, work when placed inside of a MC? I know my question is too vague but my code is huge and if I post it it's going to be more difficult than if I can just get the logic and change the code my self.

In my current project I need to create a bitmap from the last frame of a video. For this I use:
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
This works like a fairy in wonderland if I create the video with dimensions matching the stream:
Like
Code:
video =new Video(1280,800)
However, when I change the Video's size on receiving the onMetaData Event according to the actual streams width and height properties, the capture i get from _vidBitmapData.draw is still in the dimensions of how I created the Video. So if I do
Code:
video =new Video(10,10)
and then
private function onMetaData(metadata:Object):void {
video.width=metadata.width;
video.height=metadata.height;
}
I get a nice display of the video.
However when doing the
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
I get a 10 x10 px image....
Flash CS5 on Windows 7 I have a problem with a project I am creating. I have created 3 buttons which when clicked open other movieclips for each button. On each of the movieclips that the buttons send them to, all have a back button to return them back to the original view.
This back button works fine apart from once they are back at the original view, the 3 buttons stop working.
I'd really like to use this package in Flash as3:[URL]... I've copied the source and saved it as a file called MP3Loop.as. In the same folder I have a .fla with some code in it like this:

There are enough examples on the internet to learn how to make your own Class, here's an example of what I did, it is saved as a seperate *.as-File:[code]The Idea is that I can add a bunch of descriptions (for multiple persons) to an holder array, which allows me to do more with them.Actionscript has no idea what this "Character" is. Instead I'm getting the Errorcodes
-1046 (Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Character)
-1180 (Call to a possibly undefined method Character)
I am creating a Flash header for class and two things need to happen - One, it needs a stop and start button, and 2 it has to be clickable.I have the code for each one and they do work separately, but when I try to apply both, only one will work.

I've made a game for viceland, and as always when you make a good game, lousy free-game-portals plain steals it and puts it on their site.So now i'm trying to take a few actions to prevent this from happening. One thing is that i'd like the swf to check which domain it's being viewed on. I thought you could check which domain the html/php is on somewhere using SYSTEM.SECURITY or something. But i don't find any.

View 2 RepliesHow do I make the actions contained in a movieclip work on the main timeline? For example. In the movieclip, I have some buttons and I have an "Actions" layer there which contains all the functions of the buttons, listeners and such.
I placed this movieclip on Frame 1 of the main timeline.
When I run the program, I'm able to hover my mouse over the buttons and it changes to a "finger" cursor as if they can be clicked on, however, when I click the buttons, nothing happens. It's as if it's not recognizing the Mouse Click event listeners I put on the buttons in the "Actions" layer of the movieclip.
i want when press a button on that flash header the test.php is redirect to another php page without the flash header be reloaded , and i actually made it but with form buttons and ajax ofcourse , so all i need is when the flash button is clicked a javascript function in the test.php work ?? --> here is my try : i passed a url variable from flash to the same page to say which button is pressed through this code
ActionScript Code:
var vars:URLVariables=new URLVariables();
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("test.php");

I'm working on a slideshow using a class that I wrote that builds the slideshow and an XML file that points to the images. I plan on improving it later but for now I just want it to cycle through a set of images, resize them if they're too big or small, and show a loading bar while the image is loading. It works fine if I test it in the Flash IDE or standalone Flash Player, but if I drag the SWF into Firefox or Safari, the loading bar refuses to show up. I also tried publishing to an HTML file and that didn't work either. I figured there could only be two different reasons why it wasn't showing up - either it wasn't being added to the stage, it wasn't being made visible after it's initially set to invisible. I decided to comment out the part of the code that make it invisible to begin with the loading bar showed up, but it wasn't showing how much of the image had been loaded when it changed to a new picture. Here's my code:
[Code]...
For some reason the pictureLoading function isn't being called when I test it in any browser. I've seen the loading bar randomly pop up a few in times in Safari 4 but then I try closing the window and testing it again and I get nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out? About:plugins in Firefox says I have Flash Player 10.0.22 installed, and I'm using Flash CS3 in OS X.
I'm creating a presentation in Flash that will be projected onto a large screen. I'm using fscommand("fullscreen", true) to make it fullscreen. Since I don't know in advance what type of playback monitor will be used, apparently there may be some issue with the monitor ratio not being 4:3 which would make it widescreen. I was told to make sure the animation etc extends beyond the Stage frame so that it accommodates widescreen but I'm not sure how to do this - I mean how do you know how far beyond the stage to extend things? Since I don't have access to the playback monitor I can't test on it and the presentation will eventually be put onto a CD ROM where viewers may have all types of monitors.

I've made a popup div that shows a video if you press a button. If you press Esc, the div is hidden again and the video is removed. (Using JWPlayer in Flash.)
If you click on the JWPlayer video, Flash gets the focus and JavaScript can't listen for keypresses on the document anymore. Is it possible to make JavaScript get the focus after you've interacted with the JWPlayer video player, so that you can still press the Esc button after for example pausing the video?
I press the key down but it doesn't do anything.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, moveLauren);

View 1 RepliesCurrently I am working on flex using puremvc framework. Actually my question is related to where to register mediator in puremvc framework. One of my colleague is registering mediator in views(components) creationComplete method only (inside view). While my preference is send some notification from creationComplete method which could be handle by some command and command will register mediator. So which one is better approach in terms of best practice ?
