how would I make Flash create a jpg or png file of what was currently on screen dynamically? I would like to know how to go about doing this and I'm sure it probably involves some other scripting language (PHP?) also.
View 21 RepliesIsn't there some way to re-write the following code, such that I don't need a gigantic switch statement with every conceivable type? Also, if I can replace the switch statement with some way to dynamically create new controls, then I can make the code smaller, more direct, and don't have to anticipate the possibility of custom control types.Before:

My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?
Code:
function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

I would like to be able to create and call an Array dynamically. So to pass a name through a function and create an array based on that name.Then to store values into sections in the array. I got the creating the array dynamically working, but I can't seem to store into it.
Code:
Sort = function (numOfVars,Name,toSort){
This works
_global[Name] = New Array(New Array (),New Array());
This does not work
_global[Name][i][c]= 3
This does not work
_global[Name + "[i][c]"]= 3
This does not work
_global[[Name][i][c]]= 3
}
I have two MCs classesThe first one is put on the stage. Then, from the first MC class (inside the class), i put another MC. So i created a MC inside the first MC.I can see both MC when i test my movie.I put the second MC when the mouse cursor is over the first MC, and i remove it when the mouse cursor is out the first MC.My problem is that when the mouse cursor is over the second MC, the movie behaves like the mouse cursor goes out of the first MC, so the second MC is removed, so i can't click on it.
View 2 RepliesVersion: Flash CS4, AS3 is it possible to turn a given sprite into a Class with a given string as its name? The resulting class should then be available under that name in the current domain's definitions.ie.
createClass(someSprite, "someName");

var someClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("someName") as

View 6 RepliesI've been trying to create a scrollpane dynamically but I keep getting a bunch of errors when I publish the swf. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my code so then I looked in the file and copied and pasted one of there examples into a blank fla and I still get the same errors when I publish. If I look at what is the source of the errors it looks like the error originates at this section of the ScrollPane.as file:
Code:
override protected function drawBackground():void {
var bg:DisplayObject = background;

how would i go about dynamically making a function... im making a Tile Based World level editor and when the user is done editing a level, then they hit a button and a couple of for loops runs through all the tiles checking the x,y and tile type. then i want thisinformation to be parameters within sub functions within the main function. so the as would look something like this
[AS]subFunction = function () {
//do this
}

Now I'm just wondering what the best way of assigning control to the buttons is (i.e. making them do something,). I'm wanting each created button to load a different image (defined in the xml) if that's of any use.

View 5 RepliesI'm currently working on a project where I need to create a grid of dynamic text boxes each displaying my specified number. I won't go into big specifics, since I can assign the values to each text box, but for some reason I'm having problems creating the grid dynamically. I've used the same method for attaching Movie Clips in a grid, and it works fine, so I can't figure out for the life of me what the problem is.

View 4 RepliesI have an app that lets you upload a photo and mask part of it. I want now to press a button that takes a screengrab of the flash player and saves it to the server.I'm aware this will require scripting to talk to the server but for the flash part of taking a I've even considered using fscommand to somehow access the printscreen function but don't think this will work after checking the documentation.
View 10 RepliesI'm creating a mask in what can best be described as a glorified spotlight effect program. It involves dynamically creating a gradient circle that will be the spotlight in question. However, I've run into a problem while creating gradient circles dynamically.
Code:
// in CS4
var testCircle:Sprite = new Sprite();
testCircle.cacheAsBitmap = true; // this can be true or false; doesn't fix the problem

However, no matter what you put as CIRCLE_RADIUS, this will always output an approx 100-radius gradient in the center, and whatever is left over will have 0.0 alpha the rest of the way.So if you make one with a radius of 300, it'll show up as a circle with radius 100 and 200 pixels either side of blank space.Intersetingly enough, if you set the radius to less than 100 (say, 80), it'll cut off the circle at the radius and leave you with a hard edge.
I've found that if you set the ending alpha to anything other than 0.0, the full gradient is rendered. But I don't really want a hard edge Of course, fancy matrix transformations can fix this. But even those are unpredictable for some strange reason...even an identity matrix scales it drastically.Or do I have to go with pre-rendered ones or fancy matrixwork?
I'm creating / adapting a horizontally XML dynamically loaded menu. Load the text for each menu item from XML, and then I place this text in an array. Then later in my script I run loop through the array to add the menu items / text to the menu.I want the horizontal menu just to be a line of text so like:Menu item | Menu item two | Menu Item threeEach one gets put in a dynamic text box. I want to find out what the width of menu item one is so I can set the x position of the next menu item.I was thinking I could as I loop through and create each menu item, add the widths (using TextField.textWidth property) to an array and then use info in there to set the x position of the next menu item.
