As mentioned in this post KeyLocation.LEFT and KeyLocation.RIGHT only work a Windows PC, not on a Mac. I found that out the hard way during a presentation today :X
Is there any fix to determine which shift key is pressed on a Mac?
I found this tutorial on kirupa about identifying keyboard and using them to navigate,however I cant seem to get it to work using (shift) and left, right, up, down.I am going to use left and right arrows for one thing and shift left or right to do another.Does anyone know how to make this happen? Here is my code so far (not working for combing shift and value)
function reactToArrowKeys(keyEvent:KeyboardEvent) {
if (keyEvent.keyCode == 38) {
trace("Up Arrow pressed.");

I load my movie with loadmovie and when the swf plays on the frame, the whole website shifts to the left. My code is very simple
stop();
myMC.loadMovie("youtubeplayer.swf");
myMC2.loadMovie("hyper_youtube_version.swf");[code].....
When I load the myMC2.loadmovie Hyper_youtube_version.swf, the whole website shifts to the left. Plays fine but I cant figure out why its doing that. When I load a regular player....it works but but the new player I got hyper_youtube_version.swf is loaded, it doesnt seem to work.
How do I know that a stream is playing a live stream or from the VOD archive when DVR is enabled? I tried isPlayingLive, it always returns "true", even if it is playing from the archive
View 1 RepliesImagine that I make a movie clip that looks like a chess board, and that inside that move board I place other movie clips that look like pieces.Now imagine that I tilt the chessboard so that you are no longer looking at it top down and rotate it so that the dark pieces are first in front of you and and this slowly changes until the white ones are, etc.In order to make this look right I have to rearrange the stacking order of the movie clips (which pieces are "on top" of which other pieces when they are drawn). But when the clip rotates, the mc.z value for all the clips does not change. Neither does the width or height which I thought I could use instead even though they are clearly looking bigger or smaller onscreen.I think that I might just be getting the z point relative to the other children of the rotating movieclip. Is there any way to get the z point relative to the stage?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a graphical representation of the DisplayList of a flash site that is loading many external swfs. I want to be able to filter what is displayed (ie. Show only textfields, or show only images, or show only whatever). I have not been able to find a way to distinguish or select only the swfs. I would like this to be able to list ALL the swfs that are used in this projects and nothing else..

looking to create an image/mc slider that moves form right to left via user clicks of a left and right button.I would assume I would create an array to hold a series of mc's in (my images) and then tell the left and right buttons CLICK events to move linearly through the array (displaying next in line and previous etc.
View 1 RepliesI've some components with dynamic heights. They have to be aligned with respect to the bottom of my canvas container, so I cannot set the same y for all components.
I could compute their heights and successively set the y but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.
I have an Image called "PanoramaImage" (which is very long in width). I want this image to move from right to left & from left to right automatically.
I am using flash as3. I am loading this image from the same folder where the .fla file exist. my image to move by using Up & Down arrow keys.
The following is the sample code i found on web.
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(new URLRequest("panorama.jpg"));

My vision is to have a colored square at the top of the site Im working on which should span across the entire browser window. I have created a square 1280 x 100 pixels in size and imported it to the stage, alignment is set to x=0, y=0 ad alignment. The scene is the same size as the square I 've imported. When I view my Flash creation its displayed 8 pixels from the top left corner of the browser window. The flash file only contains the square and nothing else. take a look at the 3 files I've attached: issue-scrreen1-3.jpg. The first 2 screens are my Flash, properties and library screen shots. The third screen shot is my browser window.

I have a psd that is to be the background of a flash site that i'm working on. I've tried every combination of exporting from photoshop and flash but the end result (in the browser) is always significantly brighter.Does anyone know what the best prossess for keeping the colour of imported raster content accurate in swf while keeping the size moderate?
View 1 RepliesI have a simple movie of a person - torso, arms, legs, each on a separate layer. I'm adding a walk cycle and use tweens to move the arms and legs. This works fine when I export to an swf. But when I group and try to export to a movieclip, the arms jump way up. This seems like a simple problem of adjusting coordinates, origins, etc. But I'm kind of a newbie, so does someone have a suggestion for me? How do I export to a movieclip and have it playback the same as when exporting to a swf?

View 1 RepliesI have an issue with links in a text box which are pulled in from a xml file.The problem is that when I have the antialias setting set to Advanced the links will shift their position to the left when you hover over them. If i turn the antialias setting off or to Normal the problem is fixed, but the text doesn't look as nice.
Here are the settings for my textbox.
Code:
bodyText.defaultTextFormat = txtFmt;
bodyText.styleSheet = cssStyle;
bodyText.embedFonts = true;
bodyText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

View 1 Replieswhen a moive clip is clicked in my program it's instance is saved in a var _root.dis_one. My code makes the movie clip move when the shift key isn't down according to the arrow keys, and it is supposed to resize the clip if the shift key is down _root.dis_one is storing the proper var, but i am having a trouble with the resizing part. It will rezise a pre-maid movie clip, but it won't resize my dynamic movie clips. is there a certain way to rezise a dynamic MC?

Am having a poke around with an area when pressed, it will reloated the mouse position.I dont think it is this simple.

So i am building a site for a client, and in it i have incorporated an automatically cross-fading background made of large photos.Wheneve they cross fade programatically my CPU gets WORKED!
I am using
Code:
if (this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
}
as the fading command. Is it just a characteristic of flash that it HATES to do ALPHA changes?
I broke apart all JPGs and converted them to symbols.And they all have correct X & Y coordinates.But while tweening the JPGs shift a tiny bit. Anyone know how to stop the JPGs doing the jiggle shift error?(I've seen it before, and thought I could fix it by breaking apart the JPGs and making symbols out of them, but the JPGs still have that quiver bug now)
View 2 Replieswhy the below script does not keep circularly shifting my array (ie. array = [1,2,3,4] -> [4,1,2,3]->[3,4,1,2] etc..)

How can I pop or shift more than one element of an array in the same time? I have been searching, and I can't find the answer anywhere. My new project is to pop or shift 3 element of an array of let's say of 100 elements, and with a click of a button display them into a textfield having in mind the date factor. If today I click the button, it'll give me the same numbers, all the day; but when tomorow i'll click the button, it will give me another set of numbers all the day long, and so on. Do I make sense and continue, or I just forget about it ? I have the button, the array, how to acces the date, and flash CS 5.5. All I need I believe, is How to pop or to shift more than one element.
[Code]....
differencePercentage = Math.round(((Pay.init / Pay.current) * 100) - 100);
and that gives me the difference in percent between initial and current pay, but it's reversed. When it's positive i.e. pay is above the initial value it says -X%, and when it's below it says X%.
If I encode all colors into one single float value (RGB) as:
//Each Channels are from 0 - 255
red << 16 | green << 8 | blue;
How can I retrieve those color channels back in AGAL? There doesn't seem to be any bitwise operators.
I have attached and sample file with problem that show when you hover over the red link it shift the text. It only happens when I use antiAliasType = advance or my text field set to readability in combination to external or internal StyleSheet.
