ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Detect If Swf Is Executed In Or Out Development Environment
Aug 13, 2010
I have two main folders in my application:
- One with my flash sources named "flashsources" (with *.fla, *.as etc)
- Another one for production only, named "www" (with *.swf, *.html, *.js etc)
When I compile my swf, from the *.fla which is in flashsources, it is published in.I am loading an external swf from my main swf, this external one is located in www.The path to this swf changes whether my main swf is executed from Flash (at the compilation, then the current directory is flashsources) or outside Flash (running directly the file *.swf, so the current directory is "www")Does anyone know if there's a way to detect whether I am in or out Flash, to change the path to the external swf accordingly, or maybe a way to detect the current directory?

I'm loading an external XML file when in the Flash development environment. ActionScript 3.0 (CS3) accesses the XML file using URLLoader. Everything is fine until I have to make changes to the XML file. When testing the Flash application while in the development environment, it does not see the changes I made to the XML file, because the URLLoader is somehow caching the results. Thus, the XML file looks exactly the same. This is very frustrating. Is there any way I can blow out this cache so that URLLoader is forced to load the XML file? Currently, I either have to re-start the Flash environment or change the name of the XML file.

I'd like to use the same code base for both desktop AIR and browser plugin applications, with some changes in the manner in which data is loaded and saved. Ideally, I would like to auto-detect the current environment so I know where to look for the data to be loaded, either from the filesystem or from a URL. Is there a simple test that can accomplish this without relying on a hack?

I've been given a Flash tutorial to post to the corporate website that is an .exe file with an embedded Flash player. Users will be on IE, so I guess they would get the run/save prompt. I don't like this and I know it generally isn't done, but I need to know if it is OK to just do it. When I try to explain the security issues with executable files, eyes glaze. Is it possible that the users' system admins would be able to block the run prompt and make the user save the file? Could they block that too? The user community is hopeless, so having the embedded Flash player could be a good thing.

I am designing a website with flash video content. If I pass in the URL to a .flv file as a flash parameter to the embedded video player someone can easily extract the URL and download the flv video file. How to do I prevent this? Can someone refer me to anti-leeching techniques being used my websites like youtube.

I'm using the the Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform to get all the tagged photos of the current user. Is this possible?
I've tried this:
FacebookDesktop.api("/"+uid+"/photos",getTagedPhotosHandler);
But that only gets me the photos belonging to that user.

Does anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?
Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?

I want to have a web site which switches the web camera of users, makes a video recording and send results to my web server.Is it possible to do that? I think it should be. For example such sites as chatroulette.com starts web camera. Should it be done with the Adobe Flash technologies? Is it hard to do that?

If I load a web page full of other files, e.g. images, my browser doesn't load them all at once.I seem to remember reading that IE will only have at most 3 requests open at a time for a page. The rest will be queued.If I have a flash movie on the page which is continually making image requests, how does this affect the maximum number of downloading files in the browser?
Is this browser limit accurate, and is it generally the same across browsers? Does flash share the requests of the browser? If not, does flash have a limit and what is that limit?
For some background, I do have a flash movie that is continually loading files so there is a queue of Loaders waiting to make requests.My idea was that if there was a different request that I needed to be executed straight away I could make it jump the queue by making a javascript call and allowing the browser to make the request instead.

My flash actions layer contains the whole source code. My question is: why does the actions layer get executed with a fresh start (new variables) more then once?
the following code snippet demonstrates what i mean:
var notyetexecuted:Boolean=true;
function addNetStream(counter) {
if (notyetexecuted = true) {
[Code]....
why this is the case and how Flash executes layer?

I have a movieclip which has in the actions for frame 1
this["myCustomVar"] = "bla";
I then do this:
var mc:MovieClip = new MyMovieClip();
trace(mc.hasOwnProperty("myCustomVar")); // is false
Why does the movieclip not have myCustomVar, or to put it more generally:
When are frame scripts in movie clips executed exactly?

is it possible using actionscript to determine what operating system the flash projector is running on. I'm producing a swf that is to run from a cd-rom and so will be published as an .exe for windows and a .app for mac...parts of the presentation change depending on what os the user is running it on. I don't want to have to publish, change things and then republish. If it were a swf embedded on a web page, the browser would provide all those details...

I have a pure AS3 project created in Flash Builder and I am trying to use fl.controls.Slider. I decided to link the fl library as a SWC. I downloaded one from here and included it in the project Library path. And then I instantiate the slider this way (this is in the main Sprite):
var s:Slider = new Slider();
addChild(s);
No compile error, but when I launch the project, I get the following runtime error:
Main Thread (Suspended: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.)
flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt [no source]
fl.controls::BaseButton/drawBackground
fl.controls::BaseButton/draw

I have an issue in which outdated code removed long ago code in an actionscript 2 class sometimes gets executed. I can tell this in that the application fails and trace statements removed long ago gets logged to a console.The closest match I've come across is this post:Flash CS4 refuses to let goHere are the things I've triedI hI have searched an uncompressed debug-enabled version for the trace entry. It is not there.I have decompiled the compiled version and searched that. It is not there.I ave deleted all ASO files and tried to recompile.I have not been able to reliably reproduce the conditions in which the situation arises.I've testet 700 times in a row (yes - sevenhundred times - this is a high profile project) and it would not occur. Then tested another time and it occured. No difference in my approach to testing.I have compiled on another, freshly installed machine. No difference.I have ruled out that it may relate to timestamps since I've tried to compile locally and w/o version control.

I'm trying this:
- create some asset in library, export for as in frame 1
- export an assets.swc, and set the relative library path publish option in othes flas that use assets.swc
- Then, there's a Main.as document class that uses other classes tha use the assets in assets.swc
Problems start when some asset has some code inside. Say, a button with stopped event states. Well, the stop() commands don't get executed, so the buttons are effectively instantiated, but their timeline plays until the end. Probably because they're not initialized in the timeline (being exported in frame 1, so, in fact, before).Usually, without swc, to solve this problem one would put all assets in frame 2 and then check for cuttentFrame == 3 (http:url...). This is what I'd really like to avoid. And from here the question: is that possible? Is there a way (in flash, not flax) to use swc to properly get assets containing some simple code (usually stop commands) in their timeline?

I have this flash player we use to create some graphs and charts of our business performance. We use flash because we like those neat-o graphics and overall User experience.The thing is that now I need to generate snapshots (i.e. images) of those charts every Monday so I can save them to disk.Our flash player takes arguments at startup (or runtime) that specify the data we want to load and the date range, and we have LOTS of charts around.
I would like to know if there is any way to create these images in a batch, window-less process in linux. My goal would be to have a script that runs at 2am, automatically loads all the graphs say for the latest week, and creating PNG images for each. All this in one of our window-less (but with X11 libraries) linux boxes.

I'm developing a flash thingy that connects to the youtube api. The website that contains the flashthingy is developed locally on my computer. I don't konw why flash does this, but it doesn't connect to anything on the real web. E.g. the youtube api. As soon as I deploy the project to a real server everything works fine.
Since I have a lot of dev still before me I'd love to test this stuff locally. what I have to do in order to get flash connected to real websites?

In flash, is it possible to have your application check that the environment it is running on is "recognized". If so, how do you go about doing it? I want to put my swf on my website and prevent people using it on their site.

I add everything dynamically via actionscript.In the Flash authoring environment, when I test the movie, sometimes all of the movieclips on stage disappear and all I see is the color of the Stage.The strange thing is that I can still rollover/rollout (I added trace statements to my rollover/rollout handlers).
I'm also tracing out the 'visible' and the 'alpha' property and visible=true and alpha=1.0 !On thing that I am seeing is sometimes the rollover/rollout methods get called multiple times in quick succession. I.e. the method invocation order is rollover, rollout, rollover or rollout, rollover, rollout.
The actions that I have in my rollover and rollout methods are really simple. All they do is turn on/off other movieclips...imagine a map...when you rollover an icon, a path shows up on the map and when your rolloff, the path goes away.
However, if I adjust the window of the test movie window, everything appears again!The crazy thing is that when I publish it, this behavior doesn't happen in the browser or as an app! Could it be a memory thing with the authoring environment?
Posting some code here:
private function rollOverUserListener ( e:MouseEvent ) {
trace(">>>>>>>> rollOverUserListener() e.currentTarget.name : " + e.currentTarget.name);
trace("e.currentTarget.alpha: " + e.currentTarget.alpha);
trace("e.currentTarget.visible: " + e.currentTarget.visible);
[code]...
