I have two applications: a client in flex and a server in Java. When I deploying the application inside flex builder with the tomcat server inside as well, everything works fine. But now I'm trying to deploy in apache tomcat outside the flex/eclipse builder and I have a problem.I think the problem is with relative/absolute paths but I do not know how to resolve it.In my Java application I have to access a database and a get a file from it. I use a properties to set a path where I want to download that files like this:pacs.ruta=C:\resources\And then I need to access to that file so in use this code:fin = new FileInputStream(pacsRuta+""+f.getName());where f.getName() gives me the name of the file so I get the path of the file with the path I set in pacs.ruta and the files name.
I do not know why it does not work. I tried to put pacs.ruta=/resources/to associate with a folder in my application but It does not work.Could someone give me an advice? Do you think it is the problem? Because the whole application works fine deploying in a tomcat server outside the flex/eclipse builder but when this code is called the application does not work.
Maybe i didn't get the real meaning of the ArrayCollection, but first of all some code

I've created a button in Flash, and inside that I have a TextField and a MovieClip, both with instance names set. They cover all 4 frames of the button, with no keyframes.I found I couldn't access the objects using the instance names I'd set, so I used this piece of code to see what's going on:
var obj:DisplayObject = this.m_graphics.btnChange.upState;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < obj.numChildren; i++ )

How can I change the text of a button instance without affect the other button text? I belive an AS aproach would solve it but I don't know how to do it.
View 1 RepliesI'm using flash CS4. I am trying to make a piano. It will be the header of a web page when the mouse rolls over a key the appropriate note plays- ideally the key would appear to be pressed as well. I have a jpg of a piano keyboard imported as a graphic. On a new layer I have made a button whos over state has a blank keyframe. I have imported that button to the stage and given the instance a name. I have attached a sound to the over keyframe (middle C).
I have dropped a second instance of the button onto the stage and given it a unique name. When I attach the next sound (D pitch) to the over state it changes the original middle C. How can I get each instance of a button to play a unique sound? I have tried using a new layer for each button but that didnt work. Do I have to make a brand new button for each note? I have reduced my design to include only 16 notes (I originally wanted 32 but I thought that may take too long to download)---
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.
View 2 RepliesI've created an button object in flash. The button contains 2 layers. One is the background image and on top of it is a textField. The textfield is dynamic. I use the button inside a movieclip and I export it in a SWC. The I'm trying to use it in flex.
I'm trying to do this:
var myComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myComponent.button01.theTextField.text = "Caption";
I get and instance of the button(myComponent.button01 is not null in Flex debugger), but the instance of the textField(myComponent.button01.theTextField) is null and I'm not able to change the text(but the default text appears onscreen). The code is compiled correctly in flex.
I exported the in swc the button control as well. So the button is not the default SimpleButton from Flash, but an derived class generated by flash(with the same name as the symbol defined in flash). It contains theTextField memeber, which is null.
Here is the button timeline(Layer 2 contains the textfield, and the textfield instance is named theTextField):
So I have a code, shown below:
[Code]...
and I want to add multiple buttons, not just this one. I figured out by trial and error that I couldn't just consecutively list the instances, I also found I couldn't just replicate the code and change the instance names. I just need to know how to go about having multiple buttons/clips.
I am trying to communicate between an instance of flash embedded in a browser and a flash instance running in a C# WinForms app... I am getting a compile error that say:

Here is the actionscript:
var feedback = "";
var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
View 1 RepliesI have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....
The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.
Does anyone know if it is possinle to scroll a graphic or a movie instance as well as a text instance in flash. I want to scroll text and images as well. Actually text with imges embedded in it.

which controls a component instance, i want to use this code in a button on another swf file, how can i do this?, is posible to use a statement, i do not understand the concept of target path yet.
I have successfully loaded an external swf. When load is complete, I add the loader target content to a movieclip but I've got problem accessign it after.
ActionScript Code:
// siteLoaderComplete
function siteLoaderComplete(e:Event)
{
[Code].....
The only problem is that it that right now, it add a child with a instance name of 'instance5' in site. But how can I change 'instance5' for another term like 'myContent'??
I need to be able to access content from the loaded swf.
I'm using this code to load and external swf, now how do I assign an instance name for it?
var eventInitialLoader:Loader = new Loader();var eventInitialURL:String = parent['eventPath'+ie];var eventInitialRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(eventInitialURL);eventInitialLoader.load(eventInitialRequest);eventOdd_MC.addChild(eventInitialLoader);
I load an external swf with some buttons into another swf.Now the buttons have lost their original instance names. A trace reveals their new names to be "button1", "button2", etcetera. If I run the external swf on its own, the same trace displays the original instance names.
View 7 RepliesI have a symbol called s1 in the library and I also created an instance of it on the stage on the first frame, its name is myS01Before I linked the document to a class (this was for youtube player) I was able to add event listeners, such as mousevents, onto this instance in my actions panel. But, after I linked my document to the external class in a package without a name, I cannot add any code into Actions panel, because it gives me all kinds of weird problems.Instead I am trying to use this symbol and add listeners to it in my external class file (the one linked to the document) with no luck.my external class file looks like:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Stage; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import src.com.enefekt.tubeloc.MovieSprite; import src.com.enefekt.tubeloc.event.*;

View 6 RepliesI'm loading some external assets with the Loader class. I've done this a lot over the years, but seem to be coming across a problem I haven't had before. I want to display two instances on the stage at the same time of a .png I'm loading externally. If I use the Loader instance's contentLoaderInfo.content object in more than one sprite, the bitmap just "moves" from the first instantiated sprite to the second. I've tried duplicating the sprite with Senocular's duplicateDisplayObject class, but for some reason, it's not working right. But shouldn't I be able to use multiple instances of an imported bitmap like this just as if it were in the library of the .fla? If so, what do I need to do?
View 3 RepliesI have searched the archives here, but cant get a clean answer on this.I am loading an external SWF sucessfully, but I need to manipulate a MovieClip instance within that external SWF from the main file.
Code:
// SLIDE 1 IMAGE LOADING
var slide1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var image1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("slides/1.swf");
slide1Loader.load(image1);
slide1.slideImage.addChild(slide1Loader);
That is the successful code to bring it in - but now I need to be able to use a movieclip within it called COPYMC
