I want to create a movie that allows boxes to be dragged around, and for lines to be connecting each box, wherever they are dragged. I have made the boxes draggable with the attached code.
what I mean, here is an example FLA: boxes.fla
I have no idea where to start on this, because searching for things like AS3 draggable movie clip with lines attaching, etc isn't very helpful.
I have to create and application to model relationship between objects.So to create the model, I would drag sevral objects from the menu onto the working space.This I already battled through.Now comes the hard part - I must be able to drag a relationship ( a line basically) from the menu and connect two objects with it. So that when I move any of the two connected objects - line scales. However, 2 objects can have several relationships. So scaling a simple diagonal line wont work here >.< So the steps should be as follows1) drag relationship line to workspace2) drag one end of it on an object and then the linke connects to it3) drag the other end of the line scaling it, changing its shape to try and avoid ntersecting, onto the second object and connect to it4) when u drag either of the objects - all the relation lines scale accordingly..

My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

But I go to try and make a new account and I get an "undefined" error.[code]...

I'm trying to connect to an FMS server with a Flex application. I can throw the rtmp URL straight in as the source for a VideoPlayer and it will work, but can't figure out how to get it to work with a NetStream. The pure Flash Video element works as in the FMS Flash demos, but is extremely laggy and lacks all the nice functionality of the built VideoPlayer. Is there any documentation on working with FMS with Flex? We're at a point where we need to decide quickly if FMS will do what we need to do or if we should purse other technologies.
View 4 RepliesI am fairly new to FMS and really am trying to learn about it. My question is simple I hope;
I would like a message to pop up to a client when they connect that the max users has been reached. I have it set for 5 users and so I would like when the 6th user tries to connect to watch the video, a little box will pop up and say "Sorry, Max users has been reached. Please try again in a few minutes."
I was able to develop something and get it output through trace commands by following a tutorial I saw online, but I could never get any sort of message box I built to pop up.

i am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data.i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml.[code]can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 separate swf files which I would like to connect together via an swf loader. I've created an as3 loader before however it had buttons at the bottom of the page and just loaded the swfs at the top of the page. However this time I want a main page to load automatically in the loader and then when a button in that swf is clicked I want it to show another swf in the loader and then on click of the exit button in that swf it goes back to the original swf. Is this possible?
View 11 RepliesI have moved on now to where this is clearly a Flash security thing.I have a flash client that attempts to connect to an open socket on the same host as the one on which it lives.I am able to connect successfully from inside the Flash IDE, and when I run the swf movie locally on my machine, after granting it security clearance in the white list it connects as well. However, when I call the movie via the browser (URL...) it fails to connect.The socket reports that a connection attempt is made but immediately disconnects.I have a crossdomain policy file that looks like this: in the root directory of the host.[code]In the flash movie I have a line that looks like this: System. security. loadPolicyFile (URL...);And I'm thinking maybe that's where the problem is, but the documentation on how to use this method is not entirely clear.

how to create a class and connect it to a symbol. I've been following a few [URL] videos to help me link a couple of classes to my Movieclip, but I'm still doing something wrong. I tried linking the Main.as in Properties of the Movieclip (assuming this is correct) and got an error Access if undefined property scrol. I tried linking SwipeEngine.as and got a whole bunch of complier errors, so that must not be it. Any partial success I do get, the swf just cycles through like it is ignoring the stops.
Could someone take a look at my fla and show me how to link the classes?
The goal is for all three sections (link1_Content_mc, link2_Content_mc, and link3_Content_mc to use the scroll functionality in the .as files. The .as files should be fine;

Is it possible to connect 2 swf embeded in the same html page? Basically what I need is that when some button is pressed in movie1.swf it should execute a function in movie2.sfw.
Is that possible? Or even something like... to watch form each swf is something happens in other swfs.For 5 or more(not given a specific number of embeded movieclips in that page) swfs for instance to execute the same function if something (defined) happens in other swf.
I heard something about liveConnect but it doesn't seem to be what I need... and I don't know what should I look for.

I have two movie clips on separate layers in the root scene of the main movie.
Root scene:
layer2: Movie2 - Frame 1
layer1: Movie1 - Frame 1
movie1 is a 30 frame movie with the following Actionscript in the last frame.
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay(movie2, 2);
and has an instance name of movie1
movie2 is a 40 frame movie with the following Actionscript in the first frame.
Code:
stop();
and has an instance name of movie2
How would I connect these two movie clips? I want movie1 to play and then automatically play movie2 after movie1 has completed, then loop.
I have done everything in my knowledge and everything i can find in Google to successfully connect to a simple php socket server that I create on my friends server.I can connect to the server successfully as long as the flash file is not on the server.If I "run" the fla on my computer, it works perfectly.I also sent the SWF to my friend who owns the server and he was able to get it to work running from his computer.He had a security thing at first but was able to change his settings to get it to work.I have tried uploading the swf to one of my servers and run it but it did not work either.As found in google, I added a crossdomain.xml file to the server and allowed any possible path that could be used. Nothing seems to work unless the flash is running straight off of the users computer.I have also tried the loadPolicyFile and it did not help either.

I used several things, one thing is this tutorial:I have the server running, and when I run the swf via Flash it connects fine. But when I run it from the browser it can't connect.. Because that Tutorial is in AS2, I also wrote a quick client to connect with AS3, but I'm having the exact same problem.. it only connects if I run it through flash.Here's an example of the basic code:
Code:
var s:Socket = new Socket('my IP', 5445);
