I have a large project, and I need to have a complex folder structure separating all my classes, shared libraries, main swf's etc... I understand how to navigate downwards into a file structure for example: Classes.Buttons.ButtonMain How do I navigate upwards though? My shared library is in a seperate folder, so it needs to navigate up one folder, and over to the Classes folder to reference all the classes.

I seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.
Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?
I am trying to user Ravis lib for data visualization and the structure of the XML file that Ravis uses is different that what we use in our company. These are as follows:Ravis XML structure:
<Family>
<Node id="1" name="Father" desc="Head of the family" class="HOF"/>
<Node id="2" name="Mother" desc="Wife of Father" class="firstLady"/>

I have had to adjust the structure in a XML file and so am trying to adjust my AS accordingly so that it can read it.. but i'm having difficulty as my XML knowledge is only basic.

I am trying to import a video in to flash. I have converted it to a flv and used the stream from flash media server option and selected a standard play and stop bar. I have imported it in and it works find when you just select the individual swf that it loads into. The problem im having is that when I go to it through the home page, all the page loads apart from the video. I've tried moving it around, moving where all the assets to the video are etc. I know the file structure is important to this working. I have a main folder called interactive / and in that have a FLA and a SWF folder and the swf and fla home page. Currently I have the the video swf in the swf folder with the flv and the play and stop swf.

-(src)
-(_embed)

how do I make a compilable Flex project out of this?
I'm using the code below to allow a user to download a file.The problem I am having is that, if the file is located at/images/english/and I say I want to download it to myDocuments instead of having an images saved in MyDocuments /MyDocuments/1.gif.it creates the same folder structure as the file that was downloaded and saves it here:/MyDocuments/images/english/1.jpg.This isn't the whole code, but I think I included all the stuff relating to downloading files
View 1 RepliesI downloaded the Sothink SWF Decompiler, which allows you to open and view the structure of a .swf file. (the unregistered version limits the amount of actionscript you can view). It even can resave as a .fla file. Does it concern anyone that when you host your Flash code and applictions, it is basically open sourced, whether you want it to be or not?

pdfDoc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToPdfDoc);

View 3 RepliesI need to open and navigate a website from a flash file.
I have to use a sort of "iframe"?
have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I'm not sure if this is technically a web service or not but I have a Flash file that periodically needs to make a round trip to a DB. As it stands, AS3 uses the URLLoader class to exchange XML with an ASP.NET/VB file on the server. The aspx code then goes to the DB and returns whatever information is requested back to the Flash file.As my program grows and I need to execute a larger variety of tasks on the server, I'm wondering if I should just keep placing functions in that same aspx file and specify in AS3 which function I should load for any given task. OR, is it better to break up my functionality into several different aspx files and call the appropriate file for the task?Are there any obvious pros and cons to either method that I should consider?
View 1 RepliesI have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags. Maintags are describing the image itself and "normal" tags are referring to other images. If you click on an image/movieclip its normal tags should be read and referring to other images' maintags which now should be loaded into the movieclips.Sounds complicated but actually it's easy. Theoretically I understand what to do, but I'm not able to express it in Actionscript.Here's my(rudimentary) code:

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I am editing a free template and I have a problem. The original free template (175 Photo Gallery by flashmo.com) has 6 frames; 3 galleries, 2 "text pages" and a contact us form. I want to have 5 galleries and the contact us form.I copy-paste the actions and structure of the galleries on the "text pages" and edit this 2 new actions to link to the new gallery file (in this case the number 4): Code:flashmo_gallery03.load_gallery("flashmo_175_photo_list_04.xml");The problem is, I assume you have seen it already, is that the action to gallery 4 is linked to gallery 3, since no gallery 4 and 5 exists in the structure of the site.I have noticed that the .as file that controls the frames is a "pagecontect_8.as" file (thx to Trillix decompiler) that I assume is internal. The original code is:
Code:
//class pagecontents_8
package flashmo_175_photo_gallery_fla

How to do this? I know how to transpose the values, but I don't understand how to obtain the needed structure.
I want to show the structure of any xml document and use the drawing API to connect nodes so that is looks like a phylogenetic tree. Each node in the xml document could have any number of child nodes and sibling nodes that need to be arranged at run time so they don't overlap. I attached a sample image to show the idea of the phylogeny.

Let say I have one *.txt file (data.txt in the attachment). These data inside are exported from Excel as tab delimited.
Using the browse, I'm loading (opening) this file in already prepared textArea in Air and the result looks like in the first box (first txt structure).
Below this textArea, I have another one textArea where I want to see the converted (transposed) data from the above textArea (second txt structure in the first post) after pressing a button. As you can see above (second box), ("comp" 4) line must be added above every group.

View 7 RepliesI dont know if its the right forum for my post or not. But I need to ask if there is anyway to show the folder structure of a clients PC in flash when the user clicks on a browse button in a web site just like the one below? I googled for a "Multiple File Uploader using flash" but what I found there is that an open file window opens and we are able to select multiple files from it. I could not found anything like below. So my question is that whether we will be able toshow all the folder structure or not?
View 2 RepliesI have an all Flash based website with a few sections and UILoaders for PopUps which open up from image buttons from Product section. (url...)
PROBLEM: I have assigned labels to each section of the website. Each section has its own image buttons which open different PopUps. This is the part where the sections differ from one another and thus require its unique part of AS3. However there are main menu buttons present on every section of the site. This is where the sections are identical and require one uniformed AS3.
PRESENT SOLUTION: I have segmented the AS3 layer by keyframes to match the keyframes of the labeled section. I put the code for all the main menu buttons on the first opening keyframe which plays the intro sequence and the stop(); code as well. Then I put stop(); in the beginning of every single section afterwards, I did not repeat the code for the buttons from the first keyframe but started to add the code required by corresponding section only (i.e. products section has only products relative code, application section has only application relative code, etc. and none of the main menu buttons code from the first opening keyframe, even though the main menu buttons are present on every section).
QUESTION: Should the AS3 layer be one uninterrupted layer with all AS3 code needed for all of the website elements on the timeline or should it be segmented by keyframes per corresponding sections of the webstie and repeat all the code from section to section if the elements and functionality repeat as well?

Now I can see the point they are making here but I am still unable to see away around some simple problems. And this brings me to my question (finally). I am setting up a simple tower defense game in AS3 as a learning exercise. I want enemies to follow way points so I was going to make an array of way points, and make that a property of a map object. And a way point was to be an object with an x and a y property (more like a struct).
