View 1 Replieshow can I change my rulers' zero points on the stage? In Photoshop I just drag new points from the top left corner, but that doesn't seem to work in Flash. This is very useful for me, e.g., setting "0" at the center of the stage, or quickly measuring some space.
P.S. Where's the email alert button on this Forum's posts?
I was wondering if I can draw a straight line along the edge of a ruler that I make that students can manipulate (drag,rotate, etc.)
Let's say that I ask students to draw a line on a grid that has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -2. In a Flash file, they would manipulate the ruler to where the line would be drawn. Let's say the ruler is where it should be. They then press a button to initiate the drawing function.[code]...
Since Flash doesn't allow you to specify exact coordinates to place guides, I wanted to create a command to "fit guides to stage". When manually dragging and watching the "Info" panel, you always end up skipping pixels, causing you to zoom way in for precise coordinates.
I can't seem to find (and it's possible it doesn't exist) a way to place guides on the stage using JSFL.

Can the edge of the ruler be used to help them draw a nice, straight line ... the mouse not drawing over or under the ruler???

I want to change the color of the Ruler in FLASH CS4. How can I change it?
View 2 RepliesI have two artworks on stage which have a common shape within the artwork. I need to make the one I have just added to stage fit the prior one by getting that common shape the same size for both. In Freehand I would drag the junction of the two rulers out onto stage to the left edge of the item, to create a zero point from which to take a measurement. I would drag a guide out to the right edge and read from the info panel an x value, thats my width, or double click the guide to get a reading from the guides palette. Repeat that for the other artwork then get a calculator and divide one measurement by the other to work out the scaling factor I need.
How in CS5 Flash does one place a ruler zero point on stage ? I can drag guides out, but how do I make the left hand guide to be zero ?
what i'm trying to create is a map system with pan and zoom functions similar to google maps. that part is easy. what i'm having trouble with is figuring out how to scale the coordinates at the top and left of the map.so if at 100% my map is viewable from mile 0 to mile 99 (numbers are only for the sake of example) then when i zoom in on the center to 150% i would need to show coordinates from mile 25 to mile 75 ... i think if that example is not clear just look at flash or photoshop. when you zoom in just look how the ruler around the stage changes with the zoom level.
View 1 RepliesI've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?
I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")
Whenever I link a set of movieclips together with the bone tool which are inside a containing movieclip, and also set the type to "runtime" instead of "authortime", I get this error when published.
"Runtime symbols with skewed matrices should be wrapped in a movie clip" What does it mean? I need the type to be set to runtime so I can use scripting with it..
I am wonder what tools or options I can use in order to have an object look like it is being drawn out while you watch a flash movie.So far all I can think if is draw it piece by piece over a few keyframes, but that could look choppy and take a lot of time.

View 1 RepliesI am creating an animation that will be used in 60 or so countries so messages will have to be translated in-country. From what I understand, using XML is the best way to do this. So, I created the following XML file (number of items reduced for space) using notepad:
<?xml version="1.0"?><displays name="Transfer Case Messages"> <message text="Click on the igntion switch to advance the switch one position." messageNumber = "0"/> <message text="Please use the brake pedal hold button to shift into and out of Park (P)." messageNumber = "1"/> <message text="Speed is limited in 4WD LOW." messageNumber = "2"/></displays>
Then, I used the following code to load the XML file and verify that it loads:

I've made an AIR app with Flash Builder 4. Works great but I want to run the app without installing it. So..... when I install the app, I copy the files from program files and paste it on a CD and give it to somebody. He runs it on another computer without AIR runtime with as result that it doesn't work.How can I bypass this? Like some launcher/setup that installs AIR runtime for the client if it aint installed. If it is installed, run the AIR app

How can we create an SWF out of runtime created objects in an SWF.OrSaving Runtime created objects.The idea is to create an interface in flash that can be used to create some animations , saved , and later used.
View 1 RepliesI have a question about movie clips and levels. I have a small contact form. Everything is working fine. The client wants to add more content so I need to make the whole SWF scrollable. My first instint is to just make the entire swf an MC and then add the ScollPane. My problem is that once I make the various input elements into an MC they stop working. I figure this has something to do with levels. I am afraid to play around with _root too much as this swf is loaded into another swf at runtime.This is just a little chunk pulled out form the code. contact_us is the name of the stage MC.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a method to create and save a .swf file from a currently open .swf file while the second of the two is running.
My overall goal is to, with the click of a button, create a .swf that contains a certain MC that was already in the first .swf, then save the second .swf in a directory on a server that I have. I'm guessing it takes some server-side-scripting like php.
I found this source code that does EXACTLY what I want it to do, but the problem is it is in AS1. If anyone could help me in converting this to AS3 i would be FOREVER in your debt! I have been trying ALL day to do this exact thing and i'm going insane! What i'm trying to do is the same as what they're doing on [UREL]..I realize that I need to use the ExternalInterface to do this but I am very new to AS3 and do not know much JS so I'm not sure how to accomplish this same effect Code:
Setting a stage to align to "TL" (top left) spares us the need to re-shift the contents of the stage
everytime we resize the object/embed tag in javascript. By default, Flash is aligned to to the center of a flash movie.
