I just started an open source project @ Google Code. I came up with this simple notation for a recent project. I have since used it on several projects and am happy to share it with anyone else who might benefit. I could also use a hand with the documentation and also features if anyone is interested in helping out. Take a look and feel free to provide feedback. [URL]
View 11 RepliesI have some variables in the format: var like6Y:Number = 50; Later I am dynamically setting some: num=6; Then I am trying to use that num to get the variable like6Y: like+6+Y I know that is totally wrong but I seem to remember you could use some kind of object notation to accomplish this: ["like"+num+"Y"] Or something along those lines. But I can't remember how to do it.
View 3 RepliesI've created a custom class to represent a monster in a game. The class definition has "public class Monster extends Object". I'd like to know if there's a way to initialize the object using object literal notation. For example, this works ok:
[Code]...
I get this error: "Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Monster." Is there a way to do this? I'd rather NOT have to call the Monster's class initializer each time, because in the actual code there are a lot more variables in the monster class than just those three, and it's kinda unwieldy to pass a dozen long strings into the new() function.
I worked in flash cs3. Have "People.swf"- library MovieClips, they have export for actionscript and first frame. Names classes "Head1"..."Head2" and so on. How i make create object "Head1" in other flash project?
View 2 RepliesI am creating a decision tree in flash (where someone answers questions which eventually gets them to a preferable conclusion). I have been using code snippets to link the different frames. I have created an animation that I would like to play when the user gets to the conclusion (I will use the 'click to go to frame and play' code snippet) but how can I turn the animation file into a single frame or object but still function as a animation. I tried saving as a SWF and drag into my project so it could appear as a object but it only plays in another window

I do not see what is wrong actually, I tried this on a blank non-AIR file, and it worked well.
I have a user with a brand new image including Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and the Adobe CS5. When creating a project in Flash CS5 and then trying to view it in Safari & Firefox the plug-in crashes which then brings down the browser with it.I went and installed Flash CS3 (as this is what he is used to using) and the problem still persists.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create an Actionscript project in Flash Builder 4. However when I debug or run it always runs in the Flash IDE. I want it to run in the standalone flash debugger without the Flash IDE! This is driving me crazy. I'm on Mac if that makes a difference.
View 5 RepliesI am having trouble transforming pure as3 projects written in flash into Flash builder projects.
I have a series of simple tutorials covering basic elements of actionscript 3. These were written in flash using the document class.
I would now like to switch over from using Flash to using Flash Builder.
Is there any way to import each of these working as3 files into new FB projects?
When I try to import using either "import > other > existing projects" or "import > Flash Builder Project" or "import > General > File system" I am not able to complete my import because (obviously) I am not importing a valid Eclipse project.
Is there no way to load a directory of AS3 into FB, set one of the classes as the "default application" and have FB build a new project around it?
I could create a new project in FB and then move the assets in manually, but I have over a hundred of these! It would be nice to be able to move from one environment to the other without difficulty.
In the following example the first trace gives me the xml data at the node, but the second trace does not. This is AS3. How would I use a variable to do the same as inline dot notation?
var x:String = "animXML.home.version";
trace(animXML.home.version); // this works
trace([x]); // this does not
I would like to migrate my OOP-as3 flash-project to flash builder (or maybe textmate (Mac)??). Is there ANY detailed tutorial available that can explain me how to setup flash builder 4.6 (or older) so I can easily import all my classes and frameworks to this app? Currently I'm stuck because - to be honest - I don't get it. There are thousands of preferences and buttons and I have no idea what they mean. How do you setup / import an additional game-framework (so all my classes can access them)?
View 3 RepliesI've long thought of Flash Lite as something similar to actionscript, for mobile browsers.
But today I tried to cs5 but found it seems to be some kind of Flash Player ?create a Flash Lite project in flash
Which is the case ? If it's the latter case, is actionscript for Flash Lite the same as actionscript for Flash Player or has some kind of difference?
Do I have to create a new workspace for every new .fla (Flash project) in Flash Builder, or can I reuse the workspace folder for multiple .fla projects?
View 2 RepliesI have the following: ActionScript Code: if ((player.charVelocity < 9.0180945396304027e-26 && player.charVelocity > -9.0180945396304027e-26)) it seems to be firing as soon as charVelocity gets between 1 and -1. Am I writing that correctly? I assume it would work as I copied the syntax it was outputting for the variable value (which is set to 'int')
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a number of movie clips in my main movie but I don't seem to be able to access these movies using array notation and the 'this' keyword. Here's some example code in a main timeline.
var i=0;
createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+1,0);
trace(this["clip"+i]);
////undefined - why?????
var clip=createEmptyMovieClip("clip_holder",1);
clip.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i,0);
trace(clip_holder["clip"+i]);
/////_level0.clip_holder.clip0.
This is ok. What's wrong with this["clip"+i] ?

I have 10 or 100 or 1000 mc's on stage that do exactly the same on an onRollOver event and on an onRollOut event, what's the easiest way of writing this ? let's assume that the mc's are called mc1 to mc100, could it be done with an array and/or for statement ? Cause I'm used to old fashioned coding, I'm used not to try to cut corners So it kind of restricts my thinking a bit at times. So, do I need to start with an onRollOver event handler for each button in order to make Flash notice the onRollOver event for each button ?

I know that a dynamic mc can be referenced using array notation
viz: myArray['someName'+i]
My question is ... can mcs that have been placed on the stage and given instance names be referenced in some similar way? If I have placed 10 mc's with different instance names eg mg1, mg2, mg3 etc, can I reference them using array referencing?
I've got a calculator that i created in as2 that converts different units of measurement. However, right now it always converts the numbers into a decimal number like 0.33333333 or 450.72. How in the world would i convert these decimal numbers to scientific notation? For example, say i have a number: 12,700. Expressed in scientific notation, this would be 1.27x10^4.I hope there is an easy way to make flash convert to such a number system? I know its easy to round numbers in decimal, but have never worked with scientific notation before.
View 9 RepliesThis question extends beyond the Facebook library and is really a general architecture question. I am using the Facebook AS3 lib which has a FacebookSession class. The class contains data for a facebook session so that I can make authenticated calls to the Facebook API. I am using the Facebook API all over my Flex app and I am tempted to store it in a Singleton class. I think this is a pretty good option but was wondering if someone had a different point of view for a possible Architecture.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to compile a Flash project without the use, or presence, of the Flash IDE?
View 3 RepliesI am fairly new to actionscript but have quickly got sick of the flash IDE, so I have switched FlashDevelop which I like already. The problem I have now is that FlashDevelop still switches to Flash to compile the fla.This wouldnt be too much of an issue but the compile takes 30s + each time, which is a real pain for debugging.
View 2 RepliesI have a "Loader.exe" that loads a bunch of external swfs. Ideally, I would've liked to be able to give my client just 1 exe, so that they wouldn't have to deal with multiple files/directories etc. However; each of the external swfs have audio, and in some cases video, which makes trying to combine everything into 1 .fla prohibitive because the file size of that .fla shoots through the roof. Even just trying to navigate through graphics to edit animation becomes a sloooow process.
So, I was trying to come up with ways to bundle/package my Loader.exe as well as the external swfs into a single file (almost like a .zip file). I know there are 3rd party programs out there (Flash Jugglor) that can do this... but I was hoping there may be some built-in feature. So, I thought using a Flash Project (.flp) might be able to accomplish something similar, but I could only find the following couple of sentences about FLPs:
"Create a new Flash Project file (*.flp). Use Flash Project files to group related files (*.fla, *.as, *.jsfl, and media files), set up publish settings for the group, and implement version control options."
