ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Objects From Preferences File?
Sep 25, 2010
Now, I have a file, prefs.elf, that contains my preferences in the following formatlocation:USAaccountID:48996151894Now, what I'm hoping to be able to do is create an object with the labels as the object.So, I have an object, preferences, which I'd like to be able to get at these values through - like this: preferences.email or preferences.location. can read the file and toss these in an array really easily, but I'd like to do it a little more eleganty with objects.My main question is, how do I create the sub-objects to hold the value? In other words, how would I create preferences.location, or preferences.accountID without explicity specifying them in my code

- I create a new fla file in Flash CS5 Professional,- I go to publish settings and select AIR2 as the target- I click the Settings button on the rightThese settings are supposed to be saved with the fla file, since all of them are related to the project.Application name, icons, files to include, etc, are all preferences related to the fla file of which you are editing the settings.However, when you go to the "Signature" tab and select a digital certificate to sign the air application with, this setting will NOT be saved into the file.Instead, whenever you publish ANY air application, it will use by default the lastcertificate you have used, even if you used it to publish _another_ application.That is absurd, because this is a tab within the "publish settings" and all publish settings are specific to a fla file.

I run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return.

//this is the object I will be recycling
private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

This isn't strictly a Flash-specific problem but I didn't really know the proper place to post so I went here.At any rate, we are trying to figure out how to remap Adobe's default preference folder to a non-local location.Does anyone know if there is some way to remap the Adobe preferences from the default location of "C:Documents and Settings\ %currentuser% Application DataAdobe" to something else, say "H:Adobe"?

I am using Flash builder 4 to both build and manage (via cvs) projects. In recent days my designer has been having trouble committing to CVS, leaving a project blocked. I have troubleshooted troubleshot tested CVS and it is working fine (others can commit and retrieve without a hitch).
in an effort to start from scratch - I have removed the flash builder application (dragging it to the trash, its a Mac) as well as using the uninstaller (which does not work as well as I would have thought), but on reinstall - all preferences are still there - CVS connection and all.
is there a file or set of files I can delete to reset all of the prefs for Flash Builder (built on eclipse if that helps)?

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);
trace(i);
}

I am trying to create a library of transition effects. Each transition type or preset is its own class. In the Client/Main class I would like to create the transition type I need based off a static constant, hoping to save myself from having to write a long switch statement to select which type of transition class to instantiate.[code]I am not using the getDefinitionByName utility correctly, what am I missing here? Is there a different way to achieve class instantiation by passing in the name of the class as a string.

i've had good feedback and help from these forums before so thought i'd pick your brains again...
I'm looking at making a sim/game based around random results. The experiment im supporting has (for example) 100 rubber ducks in a bag, you pick out 30 and mark them with a cross and place them back in the bag. Then you pick another 30 and note how many of the marked ducks you have found again.
I have some knowledge of Flash and have managed to make a random dice simulator and a few others. I figure the best way is to forget about manually marking the ducks but instead have a drop down box where you can sellect how many of the 100 will be marked.Then have an action button which produces the results (in numbers?) underneath each corresponding duck (1 normal yellow, one marked).

I would like to add a bunch of cars to the stage, and store them in an array as objects. The problem is I hate using external AS files and would like to keep it as simple as possible.I tried doing :
var car:Object = {carcolor:String,carscale:Number,carpower:Number};
var test:Array = new Array()
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++) {
test.push(car)
}
The problem is if I try to set a value of one object in the like test[1].carscale = 5
Every object in the array gets their attribute carscale set to 5.Is there any way I can do this without using external class files?

I've got four arrays which I want to use to create objects on the stage.
The first one is what the Object Class is called.
The second one is what I want the instance name to be.
The third and fourth relate to the x and y co-ordinates respectively.
ActionScript Code:
var objectName:Array = [Background, Frame, Up, Down, SideBar, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, Titles,
TimeBar, TimeBarSlider, Stop, Play, Pause, ThumbnailOutline, Thumbnail];
var instanceName:Array = [bg, frame, up, down, sideBar, yellow, green, pink, blue, titles,
TimeBar, timeBarSlider, stopBtn, playBtn, PauseBtn, thumbnailOutline, thumbnail];
[Code] .....
The "i" would relate to the parameters for the same object. So, if i = 0, then the Object Class Name would be: 'Background', the instance name would be 'bg', the x position would be '0', and the y position would '0'. What code would I need in the for loop to create this?

I have a XML document that has 8 main sections, and under each section there is a number of sub sections and under each of those sections their is a number of sub sections and then one more level. I am trying to create one main multi-dimensional array that can reference the particular sub section. For example by using this notation:
"_global.Link_arr[main section id][sub section level 1][subsection level2][sub section level 3].link " (or _global.Link_arr[0][0][0][1].link)"
Is this possible to do with the following script.
_global.Link_arr = [];
navBtn.subfolder = category[i].childNodes;
var l:Number;
var subArrNum:Number = 0;
[code]....
I do not know how to create an array within a multidimensional array like I am doing?

I've started using the 3D capabilities of Flash CS4 recently, particularly with respect to transforming the rotation and translation properties of movie clips with AS3. Which is fine for planar shapes, but I want to know how to create true 3D objects that I can similarly manipulate. The problem is, that although there are plenty of excellent tutorials covering simple changes in X, Y and Z properties, there seems to be a distinct lack of tutorials explaining in simple terms how to go about creating, say, a basic cube that can be displayed and transformed dynamically. Adobe's Flash CS4 files mention perspective projection and the Matrix3D object, but I don't find these section particularly clear. What I would like to do, for starters, is create a simple cube to which I can apply x, y and z axis transformations in the same way I can to movie clips.

i'm making a game with tanks at the moment, and there will be explosions happening from side to side on the screen. i was thinking that it would be good to pan the sounds, so explosions on the right of the stage would play on the right speaker etc.
i tried to do this by creating new sound objects for each explosion and then setting the pan for each, individually, but it seems that when i set the pan for one sound object, it sets that for all of them. is there a way around is?

I'm creating a simulation in which a large number of objects are added to vectors and then taken away in random order (as more are being added). To remove the objects, I splice the object from the vector it's in, and notify all the other objects that an object ahead of them was removed so they can change their indices accordingly. As far as I know, the objects have no other references (I think), and within the object, I set everything to null. I read somewhere that you can't put "delete this" in the class, so I didn't bother with that. Will this be sufficient to get the object garbage collected, or should I do something else? What are the best ways to get something like this garbage collected?
