I'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.
I am thinking about using a single tulip bitmap, but want to convey that the event being publicized has tulips of every hue. I want the tulip to change colors without user intervention.

How would you go about creating a timeline animation for an iPhone or iPad application? I'm looking for something like a timeline animation in Flash. I don't need a technical explanation on how to program it, though.So here are some general questions:
- I read something about UIView for PNG sequences, but aren't these kind of animations resource intensive? And what about filesize? PNG can't be compressed like jpeg.
- What about vector-like animations? These would save a lot of kb's.
- Are there animation frameworks like TweenLite/TweenMax/Tweener/... (some well known frameworks for animations in ActionScript)?
I want to have a variable which changes from time to time based on certain parameters.
For Example:
var poop:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){if(donkey==1){poop = 2;}
if(donkey==2){poop = 5;}
}
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.
What I am trying to accomplish is two simple analogue world clocks (which I had already done using Jquery) but IE has turned out to be the biggest nightmare to get this working correctly in - so I am trying a different avenue.
I have written a small script to retrieve server times which is below:
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
ldr.load(new URLRequest("http://chronos.csr.net"))
ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded)
function onLoaded(evt:Event){

do take into account DST as this was a slight pitfall I had even with JS (would have worked it out eventually but time is not on my side - excuse the pun).
basically when you load the .swf it changed everytime u re-load it , i want it to keep on changing even when the user hasnt reloaded the image

I can get the videos to play using the flvplauer component, but im having a little trouble figuring out if and how to dynamically change the path of the flvplayer while running through a timeline. If I can do something like mc.changeFLVPath that would be awesome!

How can I change border color of tab in tab navigator control at runtime? I am trying to access it with its id "mytab" and update it's style.
this.mytab.setStyle("bordercolor","red"); A TabNavigator has multiple tabs and I have to change style of few tabs based on some logic. StyleDeclaration is applicable for all the tabs under tab navigoter but how can use CSSStyleDeclaration based on componentid? The only shortfall with this approach is that Style can not be changed for individual tab.
I have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?

Its just a quick question: Is it possible to run a falsh based voice chat without using the flash media server and instead using some kind of peer to peer connection? (just one to one connection, one to many connections are not needed)

View 2 RepliesI'm a newbie to Flash. I have created a basic screensaver which has 8 different layers. 7 are hidden and 1 plays through as it is now. I was wondering if there is any way that on completing the timeline, it starts the timeline again and then shows the second layer and masks the 1st one. It would then do the same, masking the 2nd layer and showing the 3rd and so on.
View 1 RepliesI would like to understand if such a problem exists in flash cs3 or is it just me.My problem is that while I try to code on the timeline in cs3 using as3 i hav encountered this issue of "null references" every time i change frames.let us assume I have 4 frames . withs buttons oR movieclip in each OF them. i have a code on all the frames each orresponding to the movclips present on that frame. so when i go from frame 1 to 2 and i have a code in frame to which is something line "mc.addEventListener(event, func)" flash throws an error of null reference .. which after a lot of frustration I realized that my code was executed atleast 300 milliseconds before flash realizes that there are objects on that frame. My fix was 1. timers events call the function or
Code:
2. stage.addEventListener(event,chk)

I have this clock code and would like to know what needs to be added or changed for it to reference the time off the server and not the local computer time (and preferably reference the server just once and not repeatedly). I already have a file on the server "time.php" that is providing the milliseconds. I know it should be fairly simple, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

I'm testing Live streaming with FMSS. The stream is pushed to FMSS buy Adobe FMLE software. Streaming works fine until I reach 1300-1400 simultaneous connections.No matter what the encoding ratebit is (150kbps or 2000kbps) the stream is no longer play from time to time (5-8 seconds).
The CPU (2xIntel Quad) is loaded less than 20% and memory used is about 2 GB (there is plenty of memory installed 32G). The OS is RedHat 5.3 64bit platform. Network uplink maximum rate is 4Gbps.I disabled the Queue but the problem still persist.

What I want to do however is make it so that the content changes based on the content that the page is on.

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a game with Flash CS5/AS 3.0 that tries to simulate depth of field by drawing all the relevant Movie Clips based on their Y position in ascending order, i.e. things lower on the stage overlap things higher on the stage. A MovieClip with a Y position of 10 would therefore need to have a lower index compared to a MovieClip with a Y position of 20, so the second one gets drawn on top of the first.
I wrote a quick and dirty function just to test this. During the trace, I've noticed that the truck's index hits 0 when I go near the top of the stage, but if I go too far up it will completely disappear from the stage. Trace then starts generating this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I read through the random colour tutorial with interest, and wondered to myself if an objects colour could be altered in other ways... such as by a weather feed or stocks feed. I thought it would be interesting if the design of a site could be changed regularly by outside influences.
View 5 Repliesevery login ,flash get server time from php. how can i update time and date in flash..?
View 3 Repliesobtain the time (by functions similar to getSeconds) of the server the flash file is hosted on, instead of the client who is viewing the movie?
Thing is, I have a very simple clock that displays the time in New Zealand (where I will be going), but it only display the time correctly for GMT+1 right now. If a client from New Zealand or US connects, they will see the wrong time :/
So right now i use:
Code:
newtime = timedate.getSeconds() + 3600*11;
timedate.setSeconds(newtime);
