ActionScript 3.0 :: Change "update" Path Of Images?
Jul 8, 2009
I have about 200 imported pngs in my Library that I would like to Update Library Items on to reflect some changes made in photoshop.The problem is that the images were imported from various network and local drives that no longer exist, so when I click Update, nothing happens. The file names have not changed, only the physical paths to them.Does anybody know a way to tell Flash "Hey, look in this directory instead!" so I dont have to manually go through every single file and update from a new location?
I build a project with Flash Builder. I copied everything from the "bin-debug" directory to a server (including all images we use which are under /assets).
After I have updated the project, and a few images, i recopy the primary .SWF file (Main.swf) and everything under assets up to the server again. Unfortunately, when I run the application, I am clearly running all of the updated code but the images have no updated.
The new SWF was definitely copied up as well as the new images (I can say that with 100% certainty), and additionally, I cleared my Flash Cache, so that's most likely not the problem either.
I am trying to build a search angine for an application I am developing. I need my list to update itself every time there is a change in the Input Text box (backspace or additional character). I have no errors but the function does not work the way I want it to.
The function compares letters in a specific position within my 2 strings (charAt(j)) and disregards the previous letters, plus it deos not "update" but only adding new strings to my list.
i had a flash class file for my movie clip in the stage .i had written all necessary codes in the class file. when i test the movie the class file works fine. But when i updated the class file with new code it doesn't seems to be updated in fact the movie clip runs with the last saved class file.But when i change the class name and file name(to a new name) of the class file the movie clip is updating. So what goes wrong here?? Do i need to change the class name and the file name for each update????
i am getting all the images path from XML and adding those thumbnails on my stage using XMl and for loop,
Now i want to perform tweening effects on all of them but if you see my code - it only does effect on the last object instead of doing on all added objects,
How do i make this work, so all thumbnails gets my tweening effect and i can start that effect and stop ,
I having an issue getting the path of an image loaded into my scroll bar. I am using XML.When I click on an image all I get is the instance name. Like instance31 or instance 32 and so on. I can't seem to find away to get the actual image name or trace the path in my click event. Maybe my approach isn't the best or correct. Can someone explain how I can get the information I want
I have a website [URL] there is a flash gallery, every time I have to clear magento cache and browser cache to display my new images but now I've made few changes in swf file that before the smaller bars are not left aligned now there are both. In my local system the new swf file shows exact number of images in the smaller bars but in server they are not showing in full numbers.
I don't know what to do as I've cleared every cache that I can. I've read some where that put version number in your swf file so that brower can check if its new then it will download new but in magento how to do that. As the swf file contents are in cms pages home page content and they have done as :
I have a simple list and a background refresh protocol.When the list is scrolled down, the refresh scrolls it back to the top. I want to stop this.I have tried catching the COLLECTION_CHANGE event and validateNow(); // try to get the component to reset to the new datalist.ensureIndexIsVisible(previousIndex); // actually, I search for the previous data id in the IList, but that's not importantThis fails because the list resets itself after the change).I hate to use a Timer, ENTER_FRAME, or callLater(), but I cannot seem to figure out a way.The only other alternatives I can see is sub-classing the List so it can catch the dataProviderChanged event the DataGroup in the skin is throwing.
currently I am using the following code which requires me to create Linkages with the buttons. Is there a better way of doing this? also is there anyway to add a effect for example fade in and fade out.
Is it possible to have an image cross the screen slowly on a random path for say 10 seconds, then have another image replace it and go across on another random path? i will have maybe 15 images in toal that I want to do this with!
I have a quick question about using an XML file to contain the path to something I want to load in Flash. Right now, I have: this.loadMovie("Images/1.jpg"); I'd like for the word "Images/" to be read from the XML file and I was wondering how I would go about loading the variable that contains "Images/" into the path line in Flash.
which after a lot of looking ticked all my boxes for a gallery tutorial, the only problem is that is not finding my images when I change the url location in the tut xml to the root location of my images.
So I just found out the hard way that the path that Flash uses to load external content is based on the HTML it is embedded in, not the SWF itself. This is a problem for me because I have the HTML generated from a PHP file that is in a folder below the SWF. The PHP has other dependencies that would break if I moved it into the same folder as the SWF.So basically now my dev testing and web versions are separated by a folder.Is there a way to change the relative path Flash uses? Or am I going to have to hack things up?
I am working on a custom library for Flash ActionScript3, and I have a handful of functions that I would like to add to Array.prototype.
I placed the extension in a separate .as file within a folder in the library directory, but when I make the include call from my document class, it tries to execute the include relative to the .fla file's location, rather than the library's source path.
I have already added the lib path to the Source Path: values under ActionScript3 Advanced Settings, which works for my import statements.
How do I get the include path to be relative to the library's path?[code]...
This is my first post as i m just beginner in Flash JavaScript. I want to prepare a FLash Movie in which all the images r dynamic and the images should change after a time say every 30 secs the image changes.
if i have a text field which is loading text from an external txt file and is HTML enabled, can I use <img> tags to load an image? If not, is there an equivalent?
I have to have relative paths to the sound file assets but for some reason when I change them they are all absolute. Even when the file is in the same directory as the .fla.How can I change the path to sounds in flash to relative?
Here's the code from a button that controls a movie clip on the main page[code]...
The code works fine when the button is on the main timeline. However, I have a new complicated rollover button which is no longer on the main timeline. How do I change the path to the "container" movie clip?
I've been going through the Transitions Between External SWF tutorials and all is going well except I wish to situate my buttons in a movieclip and not on the main timeline as the tutorial teaches. The tutorial does point out; 'If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. If your buttons are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.'Does anyone know how I'd do that to the below code? (for some reason the code tags were messing up so I've just copy and pasted.)
I would like to have my background image change images every so often. I would like to use only AS3 for this. Could someone point me in the right direction. I am new to the language as well as flash.
I'm having my first go at creating a custom component that lays out items in a grid. I have made a selection of inspectable properties accessed though getter/setter methods. Some of these parameters are dynamic, and change when the user resizes the component or changes another linked value. Is it possible to make the parameters panel update with the new values when a change takes place. Without this, the user will not have accurate feedback on the values stored in the component. Does anyone know if this is possible (or difinitely impossible)?
found nice dynamic mouse traile which i'd like to use on my flash banner. I can get rid of mouse actions but how do make random sparkles move from left side of banner to the right side? Here is mouse trailer code:

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
I have motion tween made on the stage that follows a custom path. It's a bus going along its route. instead of dragging out the frames to get it to be the right length ( i have multiple bus tweens running) is there a way to export the tween for actionscript or xml and adjust the total duration of the tween as one would a normal tween created in actionscript?
I have downloaded a Countdown SWF file from the Internet. It is working fine with the Computers which have Internet Connection.

Is it possible to change the publish settings - specifically, the file path and name of the exported swf - using Actionscript? Or must they always be set in the Publish Settings dialogue box? Nothing I've seen indicates it can be done, but I thought I'd make sure.
