View 2 RepliesI've been working on a framework in AS3 that I want to release, but first I obviously need to prepare some documentation for it.I've noticed that quite a few sites have the exact same layout, functionality etc as Adobe Livedocs, which has let me to believe that there's something open source out there for creating online documentation.
Ideally the system would be specifically suited for documentation in ActionScript 3. I don't have a requirement in terms of the documentation being automatically generated either - if there's something out there that looks/works nice I'm happy to manually create the documentation (provided it comes with tools for easily adding classes, arguments, etc).

how can I animate the 2nd tween after 3 seconds when 1st tween stops.
I am trying to put a Flash ActiveX control into a Windows Form but I am running into a problem: a lack of documentation. The best I have found is a site called "F-IN-BOX" that has some documentation but much of the API is still a black box. For example, some property will take an integer or a string and provide no clue about what it wants. Another exanple is the FlashVersion() function that inexplicably returns 655361 on version 10.
Incidentally I'm having the same problem with Apple's Quicktime OCX. I've searched both sites and Google and I'm starting to wonder if either of these companies provide documentation for any of their products. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for either of them, even if it's the unofficial variety?
I know when I used to program java that their was a way to produce documentation. You had to comment a certain way and then do a certain procedure.
How do you make the documentation in AS3, Flash?
It's been a while since I've done any AS3 dev. but now I'm working with CS5. I remember back in the good ol' days of CS3, You opened it up and there was a whole list of classes and it allowed you to drill down into each and see great examples and full documentation. Now, whenever I click on help it brings up this awkward and overly complex AIR interface. I don't like this! Is there anything like the old interface?
View 3 RepliesAlright I'm new to Keyboard event listeners so I might be making a really obvious mistake that I don't know about. But what I want to do is, when someone types the letters for the word 'BROTHER', then it appears on the screen and it moves to the next frame. Here's the code I have atm I currently have the letters for 'BROTHER' each as a movie clip. The instance names are, RKey, OKey, etc.

Now, is this the only mistake in my thing? Or are there more mistakes? How do I fix it?
What is your approach to writing documentation explaining the options and use of XML files for a project ?Do you write commented instructions directly in the XML file ?Do you create a different text file in which you write instructions ?Do you explain the use of blocks of XML or do you detail each element and it's function ?I am looking for some guidelines on how to write the documentation for large XML files that control the settings and content of projects.

[code]1. Rewrite the class and put it in a package statement and save it as Example.as

View 1 RepliesI am trying to embed an f4v file into Flash CS5, however the program won't accept the file I've tried renaming the extension and removing the audio stream. The only thing that seems to work is if its a TRUE flv file using VP6 and with a .flv extension.The documentation here regarding embedding flv/f4v mentions the ability to embed either file formats:I have found no positive results on google and there doesn't seem to be a Flash Jira for bug tracking.
View 2 RepliesOver the past three weeks, I have lost at least 120 man hours because of some lesser known functionality in ActionScript 3. One of the problems was that, with Internet Explorer, if there are too many messages sent through LocalConnections, it will slow the messages sent through, but in the standalone player and in Firefox, this threshold is significantly higher. Another was that the static values of a class are instantiated even if the member itself is not being used:[code]Since FooClass had a static reference to a Singleton, that Singleton was instantiated so when I loaded a Module which used that Singleton, it would bind to values in an unpredictable way.Additional cases where things behave in an unexpected way:
So here's the question (and I'm sorry for omitting this in the original post), is there any consolidated documentation for this type of behavior anywhere? Is there any (even non-Adobe) documentation on these issues (websites, forums, books, ANYTHING)? I know that these things are definitely easy enough TO document, but has anyone done so?
Does anybody know of a tool that will allow me to create ASDoc style documentation with a Flash CS4/AS3 application? From what I hear ASDoc only works with Flex.

View 1 RepliesI have been working with Flixel in FlashDevelop for quite some time, and I recently updated my Flixel library to the latest version. Some things have changed names or have been moved or had their inputs changed. For some reason, FlashDevelop is still showing me the documentation from the old version of Flixel as I type things in, so I keep trying to use variable and functions etc that no longer exist.

playing the fms demo video does not download it into a temporary file like youtube does, so I could click on the timeline at the previous part or at the part show that it is already downloaded, and it will play it right away. Instead of that it plays a real time straming.
View 9 RepliesI'm creating a site in php which pulls in the header seperately with an include ( <? include("header.php") ?> ). The header uses flash but I've also created a dhtml version the emulates some of the flash features for those without flash....
What I'm looking for is a flash 6 detection script that will
1. test to see if the user has flash
2. if he has flash it will excute the flash movie
3. if he doesn't have flash, it will execute the dhtml code
I need all of this to work on one page (header.php)
I've seen scripts that will display a flash image if you have flash and a jpeg or gif if you don't...
but I haven't seen any that will execute html code (without transfering you to another page) instead of simply displaying a static image..

Is it possible to maintain some kind of a library of movieclips? (drawn with the graphics class) In such a way that you can create an instance of it without having to draw it all over again, just copy it?
right now I'm using something like this:
PHP Code:
function drawACar():MovieClip { var car:MovieClip; /* draw it */ return car;}var shortCar:MovieClip = drawACar();var longCar:MovieClip = drawACar();longCar.width *= 2;
how i could create hundreds of such cars without having to draw them hundreds of times? I thought about copying them but that doesn't seem to be possible.

View 1 RepliesI am trying the basic XML parsing code from the adobe documentation.. I tried it with several RSS feeds I plan to use, many of large websites.. one worked, the others returned status -10, status: -10 (An end-tag was encountered without a matching start-tag.) the thing is, these are big sites, there is no way all of their feeds are malformed... plus, I checked briefly the XML structure, and checked it with an XML syntax checker (Notepad++) and it came out correct.. so why is flash treating these as malformed ? how can I solve it ? [URL] this doesn't work, and other don't as well from other sites, some other links do work.
I made some progress, I found that loading this rss url, via a browser gets me the right content, but when I try it in Orbit download manager, I only get six bytes! which are </rss> maybe this is what flash sees as well ? what could be the reason for me getting only partial content ?
