ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash To Mimic Power Point?
Dec 10, 2008
I need a good Flash strategy for creating an ordinary PowerPoint presentation. We always need very media-rich presentations (PP is weak in this area). So far we have relied on embedding a Flash object in PP. This turned out to be a bad move because many of our clients deal with the Defense Department and are not allowed to D/L and install the latest Flash player. I have found that publishing a Flash movie projector (.exe) that advances slides like a PP is a good solution. The problem is that I have to put buttons on each slide and write unique functions to advance the slides I would like to be able to simpley click the mouse or use the arrow keys (like PP) for navigation. Should I use the "Flash Slides Presentation" template?

I want to make an application with Flash CS4, to open to read inside either pdf either power point. I have some doubts.First: How I can open and see pdf document ? (an small application it would be ok to me, but I haven't see in samples).Second : can I open ppt ? I think probably not, but I am not sure. I read that with flashpaper you can convert ppt to swf, but that's not good to me, the user must select a ppt, and then the application must show it, but if that's not possible, I would like to known if I can load ppt, and the app internaly make the converts needed and then show it.

I am trying to mimic a powerPoint presentation with Flash MX. I have 19 different slides and have created 19 small flash files, one for each slide. I am using alpha transperency to fade text and images in and out. I have also used the load feature to have another movie file load and play when the last one is finished.It works fine locally on my machine but when I upload it to the server to be viewed by all I get pauses in between movie files.

The question is simple; I need the fastest way to calculate power 2. I need that for this formula which calculates distance between 2 points.var Dist:int = Math.sqrt( (mmx - ox) * (mmx - ox) + (mmy - oy) * (mmy - oy) );

I am new to Flash and working with a site template that uses a xml data file. In the animation there are a couple of 'read more' links that when pressed, the movie animates to a read more screen with basic info depending on which it is (read more 1, read more 2, ...) In Flash I have added an image on one of the main pages and I would like it to link to the same readmore just as one of the text links does.
The xml has the following line for editing the text, so I see how it is calling the readme page with asfunction, but I have no idea how to use actionscript (or behaviors?) within the flash document to mimic this with an image as the link. I am guessing its something simple but I have yet to stumble upon it.[code]...

im creating an RPG game, and im trying to mimic the combat log used in Final Fantasy XI and XII. (go to http://herenbdy.iblogger.org/game.swf , press the attack and magic buttons and youll see what i mean)
My Combat log is a movieclip with a dynamic text field. Currently my code for the attack and magic and help buttons is this:
[Code]...
My buttons are movie clips with Dynamic text fields for their names. If you press the attack / Genesen / Help buttons, youll see that the lines of text in the combat log are put in right after each other, i used a || before each message to make it eaiser to read. Id would like to know how I would go about making the combat log messages appear on different lines as apposed to the same line?
I tried to make the text field into an HTML text field and do:
Code:
combatlog.combatlogtext.text = combatlog.combatlogtext.text+" <br> Press the H key to toggle the combat log off and on.";But that doesnt work, can anyone help? Please tell me if i phrased my situation awkwardly.

I'm building a website where I hook people up so that they can anonymously vent to strangers. You either choose to be a listener, or a talker, and then you get catapulted into a one-on-one chat room. The reason for the app's construction is because you often can't vent to friends, because your deepest vulnerabilities can often be leveraged against you later on. (Like it or not, this is a part of human nature. Sad.)
I'm looking for some insight into how I should architect everything. I found this neat tutorial, [URL], which suggests using python & stackless + flash. Someone else suggested I should try using p2p sockets, but I don't even know where to begin to look for info on that.

I would like to take advantage of Adobe's Runtime Shared Library system for swc's, but I'm not sure how it ACTUALLY works, like the programming behind it. I understand that it allows you to load SWCs at runtime, but how does it do that?
I'm asking because I would like to try to mimic something like the Signed RSL "swz" system Adobe uses to cache the Flex Framework into the Flash Player, so if you ever visit a site that downloads the Flex framework for some flash website, then the next time, and forevermore, you don't have to download it again.
I can't do this because I'm using my own version of the Flex SDK from the Sandbox, and I have like 5 other swc's I'm using (Mate, RestfulX, etc.). I would like to be able to cache these things permanently, and only have them re-download them if they change.
How do I do that, or what should I read, other than the Adobe RSL docs and such? Can I use javascript or ruby to do this?

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension

I've been wanting to learn to work with Flash for awhi l e and decided to start learning by attempting a game. I found a decent tutorial for a space shooter and used it to create the basic code (firing, etc...) and now I've been figuring out how to add other elements (splash screen/scrolling screen).now I'd like to add power-ups but can't figure out how.I've created a graphic, turned it into a movie clip, but can't think of what to define for its actions.

I have been trying to implement the Round Up Power Of 2 algorithm outlined in the following link in AS3.
[Code]...
The algorithm works great for most of the values I've tested. It is mentioned that this will return 0 when given an input value of 0 which is technically incorrect but I'm ok with that output. What I'm not ok with is when given an input of 1 I get and output of 1. I'm thinking that this must be a caveat of AS3 and its wonky uint implementation but I can't seem to figure it out. I have also tried using the >>> logical shift operator to the same result. My C is a little rusty, but I'm not sure how this would even return 2 in C. Can someone explain to me whats going wrong here? I assume if an input of 1 was a special case it would have been mentioned in the above link.

I have an MC that occurs many times on the stage, and each one has a motion, and random scaling script in it. Would I save computing power by not having a script in each MC but rather assign them all to a prototype?

I'm making a 3D program and I've already made the back end which calculates where each object's polygons should be. However, I can't seem to find a quick way of drawing them without having to remove and redraw them each time, which I'm sure would take a lot of processing power, knowing the way that Flash does things. So is there a way to draw a shape (a quad in this example) and then alter the shape's color and the position of all of its corners in the next frame without taking a huge load of processing power? I would really like to be able to do this to at least 20 polygons, hopefully more, within the span of one frame at 20 fps.

I'm doing a prototype game like Worms and I would like not only to shot, but also see the whole projection curve where my shot will travel before it hit the ground. The only information given by the player is an angle and a power. There is also some level elements like wind and gravity.
Can I have a code for the projection curve? its like a parabola I think. I research about parabola but I had some difficult to apply these math formulas into the programming code.

I have this little crumby thing I'm working on. And in it, I draw a circle with a radial gradient fill. Then I add that circle to the array: "colourSplodeArray"
I have another circle that bounces around and hits walls, "creating" the previously mentioned circles. (So I have one that is not in the array, the rest are)[code]...

Please provide the feature to disable the system screensaver & power saving features while a video object is currently playing a video. I get this request all the time when developing video players and now that the netflix player provides this feature it is becoming a must have in the online video market. If you know other solution which does not require .net, silverlight , or any other browser plugin besides flash please let me know.

Basically there will be a club and a ball. You can control the power and angle to hit the ball. How do I go about implementing this? Is flash the easiest way to go? I want to implement this as a facebook game. Any game libraries specific to this I can use to quickly implement a basic version? I am comfortable with Java and PHP.

So I've set myself a little project to build a bowman game. Everythings working smashing until the math at the point where the computer needs to figure out the power and angle to shoot the arrow back at you. What I've been working off is my knowledge from applied-math classes in school. I've been using the following formula where g is gravity, t is time (this would be in frames for flash), sx is the distance between the players, u is the initial force of the arrow and a is the angle we need to find. With a bit of moving around to seperate the angle, this becomes For my AS3 this translates to:
[Code]...
What happens is that it always fires the projectile at a very low angle that doesnt change to match the correct circumstances and I can't figure out how to get around this. Changing the force doesnt make any difference and the program will need to get around changing distances between the player so this math is pretty necessary (I think). Any math heads out there know what I should change?

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.
