I am loading an external swf file into my swf file in CS4 with AS2. The reason I am doing this is that the external swf file contains a sequence of images and I tried to convert it to flv video but using many tricks and software out there (like converting to AVI and then to FLV) but there was always LOSS in quality. My question is! Is there a SWF player component much like FLV player component, because I need to give the user the ability to stop, pause, rewind etc.... the loaded external swf file?
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to move images into and out of Flex by converting back and forth between ByteArrays. I've been having some trouble with this, so I designed a simple test program, and even that I can't get to work. Here's the code I'm trying right now:
[Code]...
So far the process follows top to bottom: Click button 3, image displays, everything is going well. Click button 4, and I get "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type." after the line "loader.loadBytes(myByeArray);" in the function button4_clickHandler. As far as I can tell I'm using everything as intended.
I am trying to take images I am placing in a flex canvas component to a bitmap. I was able to get to the point where I'm not getting an error but then no image shows up and the image I save out as a jpg is blank. I imagine I'm not setting the bitmap data correctly but can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Here is the code where I am converting it to a bitmap:

View 2 RepliesI am using Flash Professional CS5 and a sequence of small images that I want to convert to a MovieClip to use in actionscript 3. I have a blank actionscript 3 file. I go to Insert -> New Symbol, name it 'blue', set it as a Movieclip and tick 'Export For Actionscript'. Then I press OK. I get the message about creating a new class and click OK. Obviously this creates 'blue' in my library. I then go to File -> Import -> Import To Stage and select my first image of four, 'blue1.png'. It asks if I want to import the sequence of images. I have blue1.png, blue2.png, blue3.png, blu4.png, so I click Yes and the images appear on the timeline, stage and my library. Can I now use the class 'blue' in my main actionscript file? Currently, in my main actionscript file, called BubbleVillage, I have some very simple code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class BubbleVillage extends MovieClip {
public function BubbleVillage() {
private var firstblue:blue;
firstblue = new blue();
addchild(firstblue);
}}}
When I save and test the movie, I get a blank screen.
As you can see when the bird flies across the screen it leaves part of it at the end, then clouds and the wolf do the same thing.This is all vector based artwork. It doesn't make sense becuase the simple images or complex images both leave a portion behind when rendering.The video plays perfectly in Flash. I tried importing it into iMovie and the same problem occurs.I don't even know what this is called so I can't seem to find any support on the issue
View 6 RepliesI've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;

Now in Phase 2, instead of middleyear_txt.text being just a text number, I was hoping to make it into graphical digits.
So 2007 - 1997 = 10. I have 1 through 10.png, so I was hoping to find a way to make 1 = 1.png, 2 = 2.png, 3 = 3.png, 4 = 4.png, etc...
I was wondering, if there's some nifty way to convert an XML-test to upper case, when it has been placed in a dynamic textfield.

View 2 RepliesMy input textfield is called Minutes. var pMinutes = Minutes.textvar sMinutes:Number = Number(pMinutes) I use it in a timer, and when i try to add a value to Minutes (ex. 5) in the swf the timer displays 59:59, if i add a value (ex. 5) in the .fla the timer goes well but i have to add a value before exporting... so the textinput is like a normal read-only text field.

View 5 RepliesI have a project where I'm working in Flash CS4 on a presentation that runs in ActionScript 1.0. I need certain lines of text to be hyperlinks. I have two instances in which there is an e-mail link and a URL link which are part of a larger block of text, and one instance with just the URL alone. So far I used the method where I used the Properties window to make the box static text and the text fields I require have been made into links, as well as making other instance dynamic text. Thing is the HTML version of the file works all right, but the swf version doesn't hyperlink properly. If I click on the link, it accesses my browser but does nothing else. Let me know if there's anything else I need to elaborate on from my end.

Can you add curve effects to text in flash without converting it to a raster format? Either applying the effect straight to the text, or converting the text to a path and applying the curve effect to the resultant path?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

View 2 Replies My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......
I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.
on (rollOver) {
rOver.text ="caption";
}[code]..............
how to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
