I am learning Flash CS4, and I would love to be able to customize the key bindings in the ActionScript editor. Ideally I'd like to be able to use Emacs bindings (e.g. CTRL-n to go to next line, CTRL-a to go to beginning of line, etc.), but I don't see any way to set this kind of information. As powerful as I am finding Flash, I am a bit surprised at the limitations of the editor.
View 2 RepliesSeveral new UI/Query frameworks allow you to "bind" UI elements to data structures. When data in the structure is updated, the change propagates to the UI element, automatically. Some examples of this include the [Bindable] tag in Adobe Flex, and the "Bindable LINQ" extension for .NET .
View 3 RepliesI have created an API in AS3 that uses Flex bindings. The API is being used by two other developers. I am delivering the API in an SWC that includes all code, including the required Flex libraries. The two other developers are building the API into AS3-only projects. One developer is compiling using the Flex SDK through FDT. He includes the SWC in his project and he is able to bind any bindable property. When he uses ChangeWatcher.canWatch on a bindable property, it returns true.
The second developer is compiling using the Flash CS5 IDE. He includes the SWC in his project using the Actionscript settings window (merged into code). But none of the bindings, including ones internal to the API, are working. When he uses ChangeWatcher.canWatch on a bindable property, it returns false. What could the Flash IDE be stripping out that causes ChangeWatcher to stop functioning? What is ChangeWatcher.canWatch actually checking? Is it the metadata, and if so, how can the metadata be preserved in the Flash IDE?

View 7 RepliesI have a button which when clicked opens a new window. The code is a frame action in the timeline. Short of putting some javaScript in the page that opens, I am unable to set the width and height of the new window. Here's my code
Actionscript Code:
import flash.external.*;var newWindow:String;street_btn.onPress = function () {newWindow = String (ExternalInterface.call ("openWindow", "http://www.unseenproductions.net/images/street/index.html", "win","height=1000,width=700,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no"));};
I've tried defining width+height immediately following the link in the string, but no matter where I put it the window size is unaffected.

View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to set up a game where I can customize my character? I want to be able to let the user select the clothes, skin color, hair style, etc, and then run a preset animation with that character in it, but am unsure how to set this up in Flash other than building a bunch of buttons with all of the possible options (too time consuming and I bet there's a better way).

View 5 RepliesI have a video gallery that has 24 different videos to choose from. I am trying to find a way that a user can pick from the 24 to create a new customized list of videos to play. The idea is that a sales rep could choose the videos they want to show to a client and only show those videos. Currently the only way I can think of to do it is for me to edit the xml file with only the list of videos that they want. Maybe there is a way to pick the videos from a list, press an export list button that would then save over the xml file with a new xml file that only has the videos that they selected.
View 10 RepliesI have a column with 4 fields named : a> Main, b> Forward c> Back d> Link, if I use pre-defined sorting of datagrid with the column names which will be alphabetically, then the order is c>Back b>Forward d> Link a> Main. But, I do not want to sort based on the alphabets. I prefer to sort by names of the column fields. i.e. somehow give priority to each individual column field names. Like pre-define my own order.

Edit: I have found more info on what I would like to do and it involves the use of the CellRenderer API.
