ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding The File Size In The Swf Header?
Jul 27, 2009
how to find the file size in the swf header. I am looking at the swf file format spec v10 pdf and it says that "The FileLength field is the total length of the SWF file, including the header. If this is an uncompressed SWF file (FWS signature), the FileLength field should exactly match the file size. If this is a compressed SWF file (CWS signature), the FileLength field indicates the total length of the file after decompression, and thus generally does not match the file size. Having the uncompressed size available can make the decompression process more efficient."
If I were to look at the hex value of a swf what would I look for to find the file size?

How can I set font size of title property (header) in TitleWindow component? If I use fontSize property, it sets the font size for all components in TitleWindow, which is not what I want. I only want to set it for the title. I'm using Flex 3.

So, I have a dynamic text box, which, naturally, being dynamic, changes. What I would like to figure out is how to tell when the changing text is larger than the textbox holding it. Of course, just because it is a certain number of characters long doesn't mean it will be larger than the textbox holding it. Twenty of the letter "w" is larger than twenty of the letter "i" So, is there a way to tell if the textbox isn't large enough to hold its text?

i think i highlighted the relevant code. The pictures get loaded when movie starts i think.if i could just get a example of the code i might be able to figure the rest out
heres code:
The radius of the sphere, 'rad'. You can change it if you wish especially if you use thumbnails of a different size than our thumbnails.
var rad:Number=380;
The position of 'board'that will be defined later.'board' is the main container containing the sphere and the black background that reponds to mouse actions.
var posX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var posY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
The size of thumbnails. Change the values to reflect the size of your images.[code].....

I'm just trying to find the size of a array I created. I know how to find the size of the swf and movieclips with getBytesTotal but that doesn't seem to work for arrays. anyone know of a method to find this or some built in function. I searched google and other search engines but only find the getBytesTotal command for use with MCs.

I have a flash app that is 1000 wide 800 height.When i open it in a webpage or full screen it things obviously get bigger but also i see more to the left and right of the screen and up and down.
Is there a way to find out the new size? as i want things to float to the very edge of the screen so i can perform a wrap around function making them appear on the other side of the screen.

how I can find the original stage size of an SWF that has been loaded into a parent clip via MovieClipLoader? In the child clip, there are a number of elements that extend beyond its stage, so when I check the _width and _height properties, then they include the stage overlap.
I tried using mc.getBounds(), but it doesn't seem to give me what I'm after.

How do I determine the pixel size of the stage or viewing area defined in Flash CS4? Isn't it just stage.width and stage.height?
Okay now the long version:
I'm working on a script in AS3 and Flash CS4, and I'm doing some art by code.
I wanted to make a progress bar for a preloader, so I made a Preloader MovieClip and on that movieclip I drew a white rectangle, and I told it to appear at stage.width / 3 and stage.height /3. It drew it at the top corner instead, and after a lot of experimentation, and reading the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference I found that a display object's width and height are defined by their contents, and you can't manually alter them to be bigger. So I figured that I could make an invisible rectangle the size of the stage in the background of the preloader MovieClip and that would make it the size of the stage, but I realized that I would still be stuck manually setting the stage size to match what I wrote in ActionScript. Untill the MovieClip containing the Preloader was added as a child object to the stage, which would then set the stage.width and stage.height to match those of the contents.
Now that I talk about it, I suppose I'm looking for the size of the perspective or viewing window, rather than the stage. The stage can be larger or smaller than the viewing window in Flash, can't it? But the perspective of the window is finite, unless you change it.
The thing is I'm sure I've polled this information to position an object at the center of the viewing area before, but I can't for the life of me remember how. So, that's what I'm asking; how do I find the dimensions of the viewing area, so that I can either position an object at the middle, or create an object the size of the viewing area, by code?

I'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.
Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;
Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

Does flash.display.Loader determine the file by filename or header?
The reason why I ask is that I'm getting an IOError: "Unknown File Type" when loading an swf which has a strange filename (in the form of "filename.randomnumbersandletters.swf").

I am writing a Flash object which will be an on-line quiz. I got most of it working ok, but it reads the questions sequentially from an xml file. I want it to be random. Each record in the xml file has an 'ID' attribute. This is my code that currently reads the questions in sequential order:
var question = new XML();question.ignoreWhite=true;question.load("Questions.xml");
question.onLoad=function(){ question_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.ques tion; answer1_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.answe r1;
[Code]...
There are 300 questions in the xml file. I want to assign a variable with a random number, then look in the xml file for the question which has the ID attribute matching the random number. How do I achieve this?

I have the problem that when I use a component from an existing Flex Library in my AIR project, the values that should be loaded from the appropriate locale .properties file are not loaded. The values are always null.
I am using Eclipse and have created an AIR project that refers to the existing Flex Library (of which I have the source code). When I use a component from that library it calls the following code:
var _resourceManager:IResourceManager = ResourceManager.getInstance();
var res:String = resourceManager.getString('resources', str, params);
"str" and "params" have valid values but res is always null.The properties file is located within the assets directory of the Flex library. I am deducing that the properties file is not being loaded (for some reason). This Flex library works for other Flex projects so it has to be something about the way my project is set up.
I have my compiler settings set to: -locale en_US Is there something special that AIR projects need to do to ensure that they can refer to properties files?

I am trying to use the new unCaughtErrorEvent, as explained here: [URL] When testing the event I run across two problems:
1 - when testing the movie from the flash IDE, the uncaught error is indeed caught and handled (as in the example) BUT the original
error still gets thrown! For example, when loading an XML file that does not exist: - first the uncaughterror event gets called. (good!) - then I get an unhandled event error (ioErrorEvent for not finding the xml file). Isn't the whole point of catching uncaught errors that you can catch ALL these errors? This way it seems rather useless to me.
2 - when testing the uncaughterror handler from a html page, the debugger gives an entirely new error: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::UncaughtErrorEvent could not be found. So for now, I'm truly baffled as to what UncaughtErrorEvent is supposed to do and why it doesn't work

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
