I have to update a form that's currently using the Vars property of Input Text fields to post every variable (even the ones that we don't want) to a CGI script. But I'd like to move the code forward, and get rid of some of these deprecated features; so I'm looking for an elegant solution to posting the desired variables to a CGI script, rather than every single one.
View 1 Repliesall I'm trying to do is set the variable names of two input text boxes and then post those to a php file... in the php file I just want to echo back those two variables
View 10 RepliesI've created an flash application that will post variables to a PHP page. This PHP page will then take the variables and using GD Libraries, create a JPEG image on my server and save it. I'm writing in AS3 based on the AS2 tutorial I found here.The variables I'm sending are height and width of the image, and then a very long string containing all the values of the pixel colours, with rows and columns separated by characters. (ie ffffff,dddddd-aaaaaa,cccccc). The example here is only a 2x2 image, so a small 400x300 image is 120,000 pixels x 6 characters = 720,000 characters + all the separators! This method is working quite well, but can take about 20-30 seconds to send on a slow connection.My explanation is very long but the question is quite simple. I know you can get progress events and bytesTotal and bytesLoaded on incoming URLVariables, but has anyone discovered a way to track the progress of sending out variables?

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.

is there a short way to check if var1==var2,var3,var4?
I am working on a script that loads variables into flash from a single .txt file, I need away to count the number of variables that are loaded from this file and wanted to know if there is any code in actionscript for doing this.The .txt file will be updated with new variables every now and gain, some may be removed so its important that the actionscript can accomidate these changes.

I am looking for a class that functions similar to JPEGEncoder from as3corlib, but instead of encoding a JPEG, I want to take a dynamic drawing the user has made (with animation) and output an SWF file that the user can download and playback on his/her computer.I understand how to create an SWF and store user variables that control the playback, but I want to make it all contained in a single SWF file.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with sounds in AS3. I'm using the following code.
ActionScript Code:
sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("mytrack.mp3"));
channel = sound.play();
If i want to skip to a certain location in the track, say 1/2 way through, i then use
ActionScript Code:
channel.stop(); //stops old sound from continuing
sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("mytrack.mp3"));
channel = sound.play(location); // location = time in ms to start from
I've noticed by using loading bars, that in most browsers, if the song has not fully downloaded, it restarts downloading from 0 and then when completely done, plays at the desired point. If the song HAS downloaded, it quickly loads (as if downloading from 0 to complete in about 1/2 second) and then plays from the desired point.
My question: Is there a better way to seek to a position in a song, that would stop this strange behavior?

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I'm going a bit crazy here. I have a button that I want to go to a frame labeled "start" but in Internet Explorer it snaps back to the button's frame. I don't know what's going on. I've done this a hundred times before and it's worked. Is it because I'm in Flash CS4 saving as Flash CS3 - in Actionscript 2?

View 5 RepliesI have tried to figure out how to get an animation to pause at a desired frame after a click rather than just stopping it at that exact frame or putting a stop action at the desired frame. My goal is to have a movie sequence play continuesly and when a user so desires he/she can click and stop the movie, but rather than stop it while it is in transition at that exact frame, the movie should continue to a point where it is logical for the movie to stop.(example: the movie is at frame 2 when the user clicks, but instead of stopping at frame 2 it continues to frame 10, and then stops) Then on another click the movie will continue through it's sequence as it was before. I would like to use a MC, onClipEvent to handle the script in Flash MX.

I seem to recall something about pass-by-reference and the Greensock TweenLite class. It's the only thing I can think of that is causing this bit of code to be not working as I intend:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
addItem();
}
public function addItem():MovieClip {
var item:MovieClip = getNewItem();
[Code]...
The trace is outputting the values I expect: an incremental sequence where each number is greater than the last (by the height of the item). However, what I see visually is that all the items end up at the same location (as if newPosY were the same for all instances of the tween.)
The only thing that comes to mind is that newPosY is being passed by reference, so each instance of the tween is actually referencing the very same value. Am I missing something? Or do I need some kind of closure to isolate the scope of my tween property's value?
i am creating a very simple particle system. My only issue is trying to create a blurry trail effect on the particles in motion. I started by creating a large bitmap container, and applying a colormatrix filter and a blur filter . It seems to do the trick , but the issue now, is i have to make this container cover the stage, which has a two unwanted a effects:
-it's slower
-it covers all the content beneath. Perhaps my approach to creating trails is wrong?
i can post the whole class, but before i litter this post with long lines of code, is there a way to place a bitmapdata drawing over content and still get the desired effect. NOTE, if make transparency false in the bmdata, i loose the effect

I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website. I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.

Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
I was working with FMS 3.5 and using the function 'copyTo()' to copy a file to a desired location. Code: fileObject.copyTo("store/"+name+".flv") store is a virtual directory defined in Application.xml file in the server side and name is a variable that stores the fileName without extension This was working fine with FMS 3 and FMS 3.5. Now, I moved to FMS 4 and noticed that this copyTo() function is not working. In the FMS Admin Console, it throws an error:Error: File operation copyTo failed.
