I was at an AS3 course recently and the instructor mentioned a book that had something to do with AS3 game examples. Has anyone seen something like this and liked it? The problem is I am fairly new to AS3 and it is coming slower than I had hoped. I am the only person in my office who deals with Flash and I also have other responsibilities. So, I am looking for ways to increase my proficiency.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to learn how to use flash, and there's only so much I can learn on my own. I looked up some books on various websites, but I don't know which would be the "best" to use for someone completely new to the program.
View 2 RepliesGood books for learning as3.. I'm a beginner in action scripting but i'm quite enthusiastic about it.
View 1 Repliesgood classes to attend or books to read on delivering video to the web? Also, some classes strictly geared toward the FMS would be awesome too.I've been using FMS since v1(I believe it was called Communication Server back then)was released and Flash/Actionscript also for a few years now, but it seems there is still so much to learn about this process. The more I read and learn the more I realize I need to be a video producer, programmer, network engineer, and server engineer all wrapped up into one. Even though I've been doing this for a few year I still see other companies out there delivering better vids that don't hiccup at all. It seems like there are some secrets to the whole process that aren't being shared or something I'm missing. At the company I work for we have people who shoot the video primarily for television. After they do their magic a high res QuickTime video is handed to me where I encode it again at different bitrates/setting that I put on the FMS and develop the web interface for the video.
It would just be nice to talk to an expert in the whole process. When I search the web there seems to be a fine line where the knowledge ends but I think the knowledge beyond that point is what makes other people's video campaigns go from normal to excellent. Also, there's not a whole lot of stuff out there for the FMS. Maybe because it's a little expensive. I want to be able to take my vid campaigns go from normal to excellent too! The one class I've been to strictly for web video was in Atlanta, GA where we used this book, Video with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional by Robert Reinhardt.
i purchased a flash template which contains flip books. they said i can add new pages to books but i couldn't
i added new pages to action script and i made new pages' movie clips in library
but the new added pages are transparency at the prewiew.
What is the best book out there reagrding Flash Media Server development using flex 4/ Action script. There are many books or resources out there on Flex and action script but nothing specialized on Flash Media Server.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to do semi animated read-along online storybooks for kids and I would like to display the story/narration karaoke style so kids could see the story and be able to read along. I have been looking at karaoke software to do the text and voice synchronization and so far haven't had that much luck.
Synchronization is very important. I don't want to simply do an animated color mask over the test and have the text change color. Besides there are plenty of books I need to convert and the process needs to be simply automated and executed. Here is an example, [URL]
I want to find a software (or method) of achieving the following:
Be able to create a Flip Book from a pdf file Be able to embed multimedia content (audio, streamed video, swf) in the pages The resulting project should work in every (or most) computer internet browser and mobile devices (android tablets and phones, iPad, iPhone i've done a lot of research already, but I can't seem to find a good solution for this. I've tried a lot of those Flip book creator softwares. Some of them work pretty well, but I haven't found one that does everything.
I'm aware of the biggest difficulty: iPad and iPhone not being able to show flash content. So I'm in the search of an idea or someone pointing me in the right direction.
For example, is there any alternative to Flash to create flipping books? I know that in HTML 5 you can embed multimedia contents that should work with iPad and iPhone, but I don't know if you can do all the "cool" stuff that flash flipping books give you )like transitions, gestures, etc.

View 5 RepliesI'm beginner in Flash CS4 and I'd like to know how to increase the number of image per second of my sequence because I want more smooth morphing. The time will not change.Actually, I have 24 image per second and I'd like to put 48. Is there a way to make it automatically without changing all by hand.for automatically : I mean, I just have to change my number of frame somewhere and flash will adjust my sequence and will use now 48 frame for 1s instead of 24 frame for 1s and regenerate morphing I use.

View 3 RepliesI have a MovieClip, "my_mc", that is hidden and shown when you MouseOver a grey block that is on the stage, similar to a tool tip. Inside of this MovieClip is a TextField, "my_textbox", and another MovieClip, "my_box". "my_box" is underneath the textbox and will hold the graphics for the tooltip.
What I am trying to do is add a Sprite to "my_box" and set it's alpha to 50%, or 0.5 AS3. Well, I accomplished doing this, however, when you Mouse Out then Mouse Over again, the alpha increases by 50%, to what seems 75% alpha now, instead of staying at 50%. Do it again and it goes up another 50%, so on and so forth.
I have tried setting the "my_box" alpha, as well as the alpha of the Sprite that is drawn inside, and it still does it. Also another piece of info, when I trace the alpha, I get 0.5, even though it appears to be solid red on screen, after a few MouseOver/MouseOuts. The source files are attached, but for those who don't want to download, here is the AS3 code:

I need make a movieclip bigger (by not scaling it). The only fix right now I can think of is making a small transparent shape and setting it to a y-coordinate.Is there a better way of doing this?
View 5 RepliesAs part of a preloader I have a 19 frame movieclip of a 3d star rotating created in swift 3D, it rotates above a normal load bar that shows progress. Currently the star is a separate clip from the loadbar and just rotates as the movie loads, how can I tie the two in together so that the rotation speed of the star gets faster as the movie loads. I have an idea how to do this using tweens but because the star is not animated using tweens, swift generates 19 different frames I'm a bit stuck
View 6 Repliessystem to browse offline howeverthis doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. Whenyou highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull upthe word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a webbrowser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there atadobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??How can you remove the corequick linking from the program.Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to updateAS2 code.

View 1 RepliesThis is a test program to measure the time it takes Flash to draw a triangle 10,000 times. The app (code below) calls runTimeTest() every N seconds which draws the triangle 10,000 times. Now for the "interesting" part: each call takes increasingly more processor until after about the 6th or 7th call it goes to "infinity" (see screen shot of TaskManager) Weird bug or explainable??

I'm widening the stage of a existing FLA, is it possible to widen the stage and to reposition all the layers of the FLA so they move in relation to the widing of the stage. Or do I have to reposition all of the layers individually?
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to set up a mini-test inside of a project (Action Scipt 2)
Basically, it's a multiple-choice test/quiz that adds 1 point to a text box (that will have the number 0 in it to start) if a wrong answer is selected.
[Code].....
So say answer 3 is the right answer, when clicked it'll go to the next frame/question. But if a,b or d is clicked, I need it to show some sort of 'Incorrect' meesage (which will be a text box), show the 'NEXT' button (which isn't visable/clickable until an answer is selected) to go to the next frame/question and add 1 to the 'Total' box, all at the same time.
There will be a total of 3 rounds of 20 questions (60 questions total) and at the end of 3 rounds, if the user ends up with say 20 in the 'Total' box, 5 points will automatically be subtracted from it leaving them with a total of 15 (the 5 points subtracted is a sort of bonus at the end). So on frame 60 for example (the last frame), there would be code telling the 'Total' box to subtract 5 from the ending number. If the total is higher than 0, it'll go to a certain frame and if the total is 0, it'll go to a different frame.
I am creating a platform game that is 800 by 600 dimension where the camera scrolls with the player. The problem i am having is that if i want to draw a map that goes off screen the stage are that i can edit in can only go so far when i am creating the map however i drag an object further than the edge of the editing space i can see it when the camera scrolls over to it in game but when i do this i cannot easily edit the objects that are not in view in the editing window. I can slightly increase the size of the editing window by changing the dimensions of the game to 2880 by 600 editing and then changing back to 800 by 600 but still i can only enlarge it up to 2880 because that is the maximum. Is there any way i can edit very large objects like a map that are way bigger than the stage dimensions?
