However as a programmer it's kind of important that I learn the language. Now, I know about myself that I won't learn anything if I read guides or try to learn the functions. I need tutorials to learn, in my opinion the best way to learn is to actually make stuff.So I was wondering, can anyone point me to a few tutorials for beginners?

I've recently become very interested in learning how to implement various audio filters in AS3. By intuitive guessing (and inspired by capacitors), I've managed to create what seems to be a 1st order high-pass filter, but I have no idea how to set its frequency (or Q) in a controlled way.

View 2 RepliesLooking for a programming book that is in tutorial approach. Example this chapter teaches you how to do a login form. In the second chapter it teaches you how to integrate the login for to another app.Basically I'm looking for a book that teaches you real working application rather than abstract ideas. Programming language I have in mind is Adobe Air/Flex, Visual Basic. Functions I have in mind should at least cover Drag and Drops, Integration to a web form (form entry) and customizable interfaces.The languages i had in mind isn't fix. If you know a programming platform that has little code or easy to learn but still be able to develop a cool application.

View 2 RepliesI am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?
I was trying to follow the photo gallery instructions in Flash MX from this site. I was fine until I got to the line that said... "now copy and paste this code into the actions dialog box." Well, when I opened the action box...where/how do you paste this action. I opened the action box, then clicked movie control, but I do not see a line to add the code. [URL]..

View 1 RepliesI would like to attempt to accomplish the following using Flash:I have a graphic representation of an LCD screen. The screen represents a display used to control a machine. Think of it as a kind of calculator. There are numeric keypads (1 - 0) as well as "enter" and "cancel" and "up" and "down" arrows.The LCD screen is two lines by 20 characters.First; I want to display in the two lines the data that would be displayed on the actual device. I have 160 lines of data in an ascii text file.I want to be able to "import" the ascii text file into the two line display, and be able to "scroll" up and down using the arrow buttons. What want to accomplish is that if the data changes,I can simply update the text file that is called. I saw a similar flash application, but it used a slider thing. I don't want a slider. I want to be able to scroll lines of text into and out the two line display. That is the first part, anyway. The second part will be to be able to change the displayed number values with the number keypad and update the text file with the data. But for now, just to get the text file to display and buttons to make it scroll.
View 1 RepliesI am struggling to find a way to animate a fill of text in Flash CS4. The concept I am looking for is that over a time period have the color rise from the bottom to the top. My initial attempt was to have 2 objects, one filled with the color and the other filled with white. I was hoping to just adjust the borders of the object or text to have it disappear, but that just reshapes the object, not cropping it. If you know how to crop into objects and reveal the object beneath, let me know.
I am very new to Flash so hopefully it is a simple answer, but I am not seeing it yet.

View 1 RepliesDo you know of any drop-down menu tutorials? It is realllly hard to find any information about how to make them! I have been searching for quite a while now without any luck. The only tutorial I could find on building slide/drop down menus was by Tudvid dot com and it was rather terrible. I even bought a adobe book on flash yesterday for $55 "Classroom In A Book" but this also had no information.
Have any of you experienced the same problem? Do you use AS to build menus?
Going through the tutorial videos, sometimes I have to call a friend to find out what the word I can't grasp is. Example, on one of the tutorials, the lady says "in the authoring environment", but I could not hear the word "authoring" properly. My neighbor friend thought she was saying "operating environment". But after searching the help pages for "Flash environment", "authoring" came up and was able to finally guess the word I was not able to distinguish.
This happens to me frequently. My simple wish is for those videos to include caption text. they do it for most TV programs nowadays, why not tutorials. After all, tutorials are so much more important to be understood.
resources for building (or skinning) your own video player aren't nearly as easy to find as I thought they should be, and these tutorials are fantastic. The only things missing, that how to achieve, are (a) the video counting in 0:00 as it plays, and also being able to list the duration - so display something like: 0:00 / 5:47

View 1 RepliesI've been using this simple script from the kirupa tutorials section to preload my movies: [code]Is this the best code to use, because all I want is to show a small animation that loops to tell the viewer that the movie is loading. I only ask, because I have embedded some video in a few files but this script only works half it should do & then tries to load the video, but then stops about five frames after until it has 'properly' loaded. It is quite frustrating to say the least.Is this code actionscript 2 or 1? should it be exported with a specific Flash player? I think at the moment it's Flash Player 7. And in actionscript 2 I have the export frame for classes set as frame 2, is this correct?
View 1 RepliesI am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.
I have tried to combine two different drag and drop tutorials. The first one is the "Dragging and Dropping Using Drop Targets" from kirupa and the other is this one:[URL]..The "drag_replace" file replace an object and goes back to it's orginal position if another object is placed on it. So I tried to put this code on object called "one" after the "drag" code:

I downloaded and am using kirupa's flash gallery with xml. It works/looks great. but i'd like to have it behave a little differently. i've seen sites where the thumbnails continue to change their alpha indicating they are loaded and loading while i'm viewing an image. are there any tutorials/samples out there for that? i simply want to see how it would all work together. maybe having 10 thumbnails and an image using xml.

View 0 RepliesI'm building my first Flash application. It's a stand alone barcode scanner - the scanner is built-in to the monitor. Basically it has a welcome screen with a video, and at any time you can either scan a product to get product info, or touch the screen for more options (more info, more videos, etc.), respectively.I'm looking for articles, tutorials, etc. that can give me best practices and tips for efficiently designing and organizing it. For example, what's the best way to switch between screens, keep track of which screen is showing, etc.
I've looked all over the web and can't find an article or tutorial on this, and while my app is working, the code is looking pretty spaghetti-ish and I really would like to learn the best way to plan and organize a project like this.
i've been reading a variety of tutorials on the subject of inheritance, and i felt ready to try creating a chain of a few classes.right now i have two similar classes, Avatar and Enemy, which extend movieclip. What i'm trying to do is move a lot of their common functionality into a parent class which i'm calling Actor. I want to make Actor extend MovieClip, then make Enemy and Avatar extend Actor instead of Movieclip.[code]
What it says is true. I have an object in my library which is a movieclip. It's Exported for Actionscript with it's class as Soldier, and a base class of Avatar. this is the continuation of the chain. However it doesn't seem to want to work.As far as i understand, the above setup is pretty much equivilant to making a .as file for Soldier that extends Avatar.
