I need to create an application where user can add multiple text boxes in the canvas and export it to image, user will also have the access to save it for future use they can edit it for which i need to store the canvas information to XML file.

I want to dynamically add different items to thumbContent canvas and use scroller canvas to scroll. I see than the height of thumbContent bigger than 7977 it truncate from scrolling. So - I see the scroller canvas with empty space on top. Then I scroll to bottom - I see the content of thumbContent and at bottom scrolling I see empty space too.
I'm trying to skin a canvas with an image (which is essentially a custom border for the canvas). I've been trying the backgroundImage style as well as the borderSkin style. I can't get the image to scale to the full size of the canvas though. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
Basically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?
I need to embed a flash application(that will access FB API from within) in Facebook Canvas page.If I use , some FB related details(like session key) will be automatically passed to the flash. But since, FBML is going to be deprecated, I want to use iFrame. Is there any way to pass those variable automatically or do I have to retrieve them in PHP and pass it to flash through loadvars?Also, if I have to do it manually, is there any documentation for the php sdk 2.1 ? (already searched about it a lot, and I think there is no doc nor tutorial for 2.1)
View 3 RepliesI've done a lot of Flash development and have been meaning to try out canvas for a while, but after browsing through some tutorials, I can't understand how this is supposed to replace Flash.
Note: I ask a lot of questions down here. I don't really expect them all to be answered. What I'm really looking for is some basic guidance about how I should be thinking while developing on <canvas>.
From the spec, it looks like <canvas> is really more analogous to the Graphics class in Flash, which one would use something like this:
class ColoredCircle extends Sprite {
private var _color:uint=0x0;
public function ColoredCircle(color:uint) {
[Code].....
Should I be treating <canvas> like a Sprite? Marking everything as position:relative should allow me to basically duplicate display list-type behavior (I don't believe that you can nest <canvas> elements, but you could probably do so by throwing in a bunch of <div>s). However, I use a lot of Sprites in my projects. That's going to be a metric crap-ton of tiny canvas elements. Also, how do you handle mouse events in <canvas>? Do they trigger if someone clicks on a transparent part of the canvas's box model (bad)? If I have a canvas with two circles in it and I need to know which one gets clicked on, do I have to do bounds-math with the mouse position?
Is there any way to erase a part of flash.display.Graphics canvas? Like
[cODE]....
This produces just a red square (the last 3 calls are noop), and what i need is a transparent square hole in it.
I'm creating a flash fun thing where you dress up a character by just dragging and dropping little images, everything is working fine.
I want to add an option to save the image you have created, I can do this but the problem is you have to set a movie clip to capture, the thing i want to capture is a few movie clips layered on top of each other(the finished character).[code]...
I was told that you can export Flash CS5 creations into html5 Canvas.

I've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.

I am building a very basic report writer for an AIR application that I am developing. I am using the Flash PrintJob class to output the contents of my report (in which pages are stored as Canvas objects in a ViewStack object).The problem is, only the content that I see in the report preview screen gets printed.Is there a way that I can print what the Canvas object contains not just what is visible? Here is a code snippet that I am using:
protected function doPrintReport(event:Event):void

var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

im trying to create a online business card editor to learn flash again, one of the functionality im trying to achieve is being able to upload an image (jpg,png etc) and place said image onto a drawing canvas and then being able to scale the image and rotate the image and move the image around. can some one direct me to a decent tutorial for this kind of functionality.
View 1 RepliesI want to make a free game with flash. Several month ago, I created a free game with html5 canvas. But unfortunately, most of people who access the page of the game use old version IEs and they can not play the html5 canvas game. So I want make flash version of it.
Can I use Flash builder to create flash game? Or I have to buy Flash professional? Or are there other good softwares? I hope I could create flash games with Flash builder, because Flash pro is much more expensive than Flash builder. If I have to buy Flash pro, I'll buy it. But is it normal to pay more than 600 dollars for developing a free game? There are a lot of free flash games on the Internet. Did their developers pay 600 dollars to create their free games?
How I can detect a click on the border of a canvas, not its contents?.I am aware that I can validate ranges event.mouseX (Y),but my canvas has rounded corners and in some cases appears to be a circle,is there any way of knowing if the border of the canvas is under the pointer?I have:
Canvas.setStyle ("borderColor", 0xFF0000);
Canvas.setStyle ("borderStyle", "solid");
Canvas.setStyle ("BorderThickness", 10);
I am trying to create a history of the actions, perhaps stored in an array, I make in flash so that I can have a button that allows the user to go back to a previous action
View 3 RepliesI have a theoretical question about constructing a e-store in flash. There are some free ready-made shopping cart systems for flash that use PHP. Why exactly is the PHP script used? To avoid running out of stock?Im not very comfortable with PHP, so I wonder if it is possible to make a simple shopping cart system using variables. For example after pushing a button add to cart the price and quantity is added to certain vars, that can be used afterwards to send the client the bill via mail.
I would like to offer clients to choose between bill to mail and bank link. Could somebody also tell if the var system can be implemented in the bank link system with SSL security and stuff? I will hire a programmer to do the bank link system just don't want to run into unpleasent surprises when the programmer will take a look at my var system and start laughing.
I need to make a projects that when a section is rolled over a info box appears. It is similar if not exactly like the link below.I have a solid basic working knowledge of flash and actionscript. Been working with Flash for few years, but it has all been basic work, nothing too complex.
View 1 RepliesIn FlashBuilder's compiler options (Properties->Flex Compiler), under "Adobe Flash Player options" there is an option for "Use a specific version", where you can tell it what Flash Player to link against:

I have Flash 8. I created a Flash movie a number of years ago, probably in an early version of Flash. I use it on my website. I want to redesign my site and make the movie smaller from the standpoint of making the canvas/stage size smaller. I don't mean just compressing the flash movie to a smaller swf. Is there some quick way to do this without having to recreate the movie and put in smaller elements?
View 3 RepliesI have a canvas called Host with many UIComponents as children, sometimes up to 1000 or 3000 items. This is fine for now, as they are not interactive. But, I have added a 'marker line' (a 1 pixel wide UI Component with a colored background) to the canvas which follows the mouse movement. When this UIComponent is added to the Host canvas and moves, everything slow down to a crawl i.e. takes ages for the UIComponent to move.

I am trying to get the flash to display using the original canvas size (540 x 400 by default) but every time I load this in chrome I get 300 x 150 and in IE the box is square.
how to get it to render using the flash canvas size?
I've been doing Flash for couple of months and I love it. I can easily use a rectangle tool to draw a rectangle and do shape/motion tweening within seconds.
Lots of people are talking about HTML5 vs Flash nowadays and I took a look on HTML5 Canvas today. To my surprised, I see whole bunch of "code". It's so complicated, they need to make a lot of calls (fill, stroke, moveto, closepath etc...) to make a simple shape. And even dozens lines of code mixing with javascript to do a simple movement???
Am I missing something? It'll make animation 10x more complicated with HTML5 Canvas than Flash.
I had created an HTML5 Canvas WebGL game in January for the Mozilla Game On 2010 competition (pretty late, I know - I never released it until yesterday). Now I want to port it to Flash ActionScript 3.0 for a college assignment.I'm well versed with both static languages like C/C++ and Java; and dynamic languages like Python and JavaScript. However I don't know ActionScript, but since it's a subset of ECMAScript it should be pretty easy to understand.I want to learn programming in ActionScript 3.0 so that I may be able to port my game in Flash. To be more specific, I want to know more about:How is ActionScript different from Browser and Server-Side JavaScript, and basics.OpenGL programming in ActionScript (including loading textures, shaders, etc).How to create a HUD in Flash using a 2D HTML5 Canvas like API (in my game I have 2 canvases, one for the 3D game and another overlaying it for the heads-up display).Support for vector and matrix calculations in ActionScript.How to load assets like audio and sprites in Flash.It would be even more helpful if you would check my source code in JavaScript and suggest the best possible way for me to tackle this problem.The code for the main game engine and the game itself may be found in my Github repository.

View 1 RepliesI was hoping for some guidelines on the general best practice for storing data from an XML document. When all is said and done, my whole flash site will be powered by XML, so I want to make sure it is organized properly. Usually what I do is parse the XML, and store all the different sets of data in arrays, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it. I'm no expert though, so I need something fairly straightforward. Here's my initial setup:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/presentation.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
