how do most people deal with different URLs in flash/AS3?
for ex., I want to have a site like:
mysite.com/
mysite.com/images
mysite.com/videos
but i know this has been annoying to deal with in the past. how do people create these real links currently w/ flash?
One thing that's really frustrating me about Flash is that the info panel doesn't display real-time width or height values.So if I'm drawing a rectangle, I can't just draw it out as do in Photoshop to say 400 X 200. I'll need to set this manually after I draw a small box.
View 2 Repliesim just wondering if theres a way to get the real x and y positions of an object in the real movie ( the root screen) that is locted in another movie
i have an object which is within 2 movie clips, first one and then another , and then my object, now i want to know what the real x and y positions of it is, not the locations realtive to the movieclip it is inside.
I have a page with about 50 comboboxes, and it takes forever to load it. Guess they arent really optimized sizewise.Perhaps Im grasping for straws here, but I thought that creating the 50 comboboxes on the fly with AS instead of just placing them on the stage minimizing the loading-time.But no matter how much I search the -files, I cant find the code for creating a combobox on stage. Is it possible
View 1 RepliesI have recently created a flash website and on the contact page i wanted to put a form that would send the information the put in directly to email. After creating the form and coding the flash code which is below i coded the php file and loaded it to my webserver to see if it worked (the webserver supports php scripts) I am not recieving any emails from the form can any one look over my code and tell me my problem.

I am trying to create a simple 6 frame flashplayer type object, and I want a movie clip in each frame. So frame 1 has movieclip1 and frame to has movieclip2 and so on. I have a forward and a back button so if you are watching movieclip1 you can hit forward and watch movieclip2.This is the code that I have on my actions layer...
stop();
forward_btn.addEventListener(event:MouseEvent.CLIC K,forward)
back_btn.addEventListener(event:MouseEvent.CLICK,b ackward)

I have a flash project that requires a swf file with over 300 textfields i.e a datasheet like in excel.i use actionscript 3 to dynamically add them at runtime.However I have a function calculate() that references them at compile time.So i think the problem is the caluclate() cannot find the textfields because they are still not added to the stage.How can i create them dynamically and after that add a function caluclate that will surely find the textfields?
Here is a code example of my work:
//add 50 textInput components
for (var intr:Number=1; intr<=50; intr++) {
var intTextField:TextInput=new TextInput();
[code]....
I've created a number of skins for various components recently. Some of these were for Spark components and the default behavior of Flash Builder is to take the source code of the original skin and copy into your skin as a starting point.
Normally, I am 90% ok with the original skin, I just want to tweak or add one little thing. It seems to me that duplicating 3 pages of source code to do this is a bad idea. What do I do when I upgrade Flex SDKs? Do I have to go back through the source of all these original skins and (re)compare? This sounds like a disaster.
Is there a way I can create a new skin in MXML that inherits from the old skin? Can I do this via ActionScript?
I need to generate multiple instances of a code generated movieclip. If I try:

I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.
When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.
I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.Here is the code.
Code:
public function buildTextFields() {
3 columns (I'm calling them TextBlocks)
// so the first is 0;[code]....
i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
var btn:Button = new Button;
btn.label = "Print";
So I tried
var url:String = String(this.loaderInfo.url);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
[Code]....
but thay bouth return me to [URL] while I had url [URL] I use flash builder. So what shall I do to recive real full link - not swf link?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently using the Graphics library to draw bands of color across an image (bitmap).So, I draw a square of colored bands, and mask it with the bitmap image. Unfortunately, when I use a mask (or even set the blend mode to .LAYER, OR use a shader filter) the FPS drops to un-usable levels.Is there some way that I can draw the bitmap shape I want without killing the FPS? I was thinking that I could like, draw the bitmap on top of the sqaure of Graphics, and then make a certain color transparent.
View 7 RepliesI have this big JSFL project I'm working on that involves deleting a raw shape (ungrouped) and then replacing it with another one. The problem is that the original shape doesn't always actually get erased (I haven't figured out the precise circumstances where this happens yet though). Even if it does get deleted, though, when I draw the new shape on the stage (using Path.makeShape), the new shape has extra vertices where its edges cross those of the original shape. So even if I end up with the correct-looking shape on the stage without the one that was there before, my shape I just created is likely to have extraneous vertices (and I need the vertices to be unchanged).

What is the most efficient way to create this real time application ?Flash ? Long polling ? Http Streaming ? or anything else ?
when I check the width of my objects I always get 0. Here is an example:
newTag = new LinkButton();
newTag.label = dataManager.tagViewTimelineModel.tags.getItemAt(i).name;
newTag.setStyle("color","#FFA500");[code]....
I guess because width is a property I can set, but it is not automatically computed by Flex. How can I know how big are my objects (as conseguence of the included text ?)
Is it possible to make swfaddress, or any script really, to allow flash to change the URL displayed(without actually switching to a new page) in the browser to anything I choose? I realize that swfaddress makes the url so that it will always refer back to an originating swf file, which is great, but a web template I'm working on will always load a swf, no matter what URL you visit on the site. The difference will be what content is immediately loaded. As you navigate through the flash to different articles, I want to be able to change the URL to be that of the article as if it was an html page, as I'm going to have matching html content for SEO purposes. This is going to be a large site and I want to optimize it for sharing and searchability
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to play the video (mp4) in real time using some flash player? What I mean by in real-time is that player would receive data on the fly, not from alredy saved file but e.g. php script (which sends appropriate content-type header) THAT IS DOWNLOADING AND 'ECHO-ing' THE FILE AT THE TIME PLAYER PLAYS IT - like e.g. some kind of live stream.

View 1 RepliesI have a C executable (named myprogram). When I run it by ./myprogram I get some output statements on the standard output of my Linux shell. I used run.php to get access to whatever is being printed to the standard output:
#run.php
<?php
$output = shell_exec('./myprogram');
echo $output;
?>
Then I called an HTTPService having id="service" to access this run.php file and I also set the text attribute of a TextArea to {service.lastResult}. When I run my Flex app, the interface kind of halts for a moment and then the TextArea displays all the 20 lines at once. But if program is run from Linux shell they appear one by one. Is there a way by which I can display a line as soon as it gets printed to standard output? This will then make the TextArea show the output in real time.
Or is Flex unable to do this? Rather how can a PHP program achieve such effect i.e. showing, whatever is being printed on standard output, concurrently in the browser in real time? Myprogram outputs 20 lines each after some microseconds. I want only the first line of standard output to appear in TextArea of Flex or in the browser (but in real time) while the program may then continue running the program.
I am now developing a Flex application in which I need to control each pixel of my control of Flex. I want to calculate that how width and how height of some text used in my control and do some layout stuff.After some searching I find that the only way to draw text in Flex is to use something like TextField. So, I use TextField to display text and try to get the width and height of the text through:
textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).width/.height;
But the real textfield is much more bigger than this, so I do:
textfield.width = textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).width;
textfield.height = textfiled.getLineMetrics(0).height;
But, the textfield get part not displayed, and I am surprised by this effect. I know there should be a 2-pixel gutter around the text, but what the remain space? Why nearly 20% part of the text height/width are not displayed?
how can I get a real drawText call in Flex, I mean something like Windows's drawText method...
Just a simple question: Would you prefer IntelliJ? If so, what are the Pro- and Cons?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flex/AIR application communicating with a PHP server application. Recently my client requested real-time-like connectivity between the applications to replace what we currently have; refresh buttons which have to be clicked to refresh data.So effectively the server needs to push data to the client when something changes. I can write the code that detects when something changes, but I'm not sure about the push side of things.
