I have copied a new image in to the flash, and i tried to rotate it.Rotation is working, but the image is not looking good in flash (i can see some distractions while rotating).
View 8 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 5 RepliesI want to create a button that when clicked it shows a good looking box with a swf or an image inside. I've tried looking for a tutorial for something that resembles this, but couldn't. The closest thing I found were tooltips, but that's not what I need. The tooltip disappears and it's not meant for UI.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash application in which I need to scale a MovieClip.This MovieClip contains an image (in a Loader) with a resolution of 1024x768 (which is the size of the MovieClip as well).When I want to scale this MovieClip to 80% I do:
myMovieClip.scaleX = 0.8;
myMovieClip.scaleY = 0.8;
The problem is the resulting scaled image has aliasing and is not of good quality. Is there a way to change the scaling algorithm used to get a better image?Or is there a better way to scale MovieClips? I can't rely on bitmap data because this MovieClip may contain another SWF with video for example and it must scale regardless of its internal content.
I am using TweenMax to animate the z coordinates of a movieclip containing vector type. So far I've only done a super-simple pan out/zoom in, but I feel like I must be doing something wrong because the type looks awful when it's zoomed out and in. I would think that a vector object should look great at any size, but its very pixilated.

Code: Select allimport com.greensock.*;
step1();
function step1()
{
TweenMax.to(mc_z, 1, {z:5000, delay:1, onComplete:step2});

I am trying to skew an spark Image object using a matrix. The problem I am having is that it only effects the top angle. I think it may be related to the position of the image (x and y). The top angle is prefect but the bottom is flat!
Here is a bit of code:
//imgA = pixles down from top left coord, I used arctan with oposite over adjacent to get a radian angle
//size
openImage.width = imgW; //say 200
openImage.height = imgH; //say like 300

Is there by chance a way to "lip sync" an image in flash without animating every transition?
Like using a shapetween, I can go from "Doh" to "Ray" but is there there a way I can make the Doh face and the ray face, then have it fill in inbetween frames for me so I can then trasition to a me and a fa?
(FYI, I'm just doing Doh Ray Me Fa So Tee La right now, should give me an approx sync for what I want.)(Also, yes I know I'm crazy. But I've got a really great head made in illistrator I want to use.)

View 3 RepliesI'm a PHP programmer who's learning more about adobe products including flex, and would like to train myself to recognize when flash/flex is the right technology to use for a client/project (and of course when it's not the right technology to use).I guess the best way to get it is by experience, so if you know of any examples (full site or even small part of a site) that you think the developer was right or wrong in choosing the flash technology for that project/part, please add it here with an explanation why. Same for other projects that were not implemented in flash but should have been. If you think the developer made the wrong decision, say why and what you would have used instead. The idea is to provide real examples to help people like me who are getting into flash/flex, but want to understand the right way to fit it into their work if at all.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a good way to antialias a bitmap i'm generating with actionscript3. My goal would be to achieve this processing from scratch.I read a lot on the subject but the most common algorithm are looking too loud (means it's freaky cpu-intensive) to work properly within my swf, because i'm using a scale2x algorithm to smooth the edges of my shape. It doesn't have to be colorfull, since my shape is black and white !

View 1 RepliesPoint me to a robust and well documented Date library for AS3. Specifically, I'd like one that works (at least in principal) like the Java date formatter, so that you can pass in a string of a specific type and get back a date object that can then be easily translated to an alternate timezone, etc. Working with the native Date object is an incredible PITA for when one needs to do things like this... I'm hoping I won't have to re-invent this wheel from scratch.
View 2 RepliesIs there a good way to cause a pause or delay within the execution of a function?
I am making a board-type game (picture something like othello although the rules are different) which I have been building up piece by piece for some time now. One of the places I am having a problem is with something I never anticipated would have been a problem, and that is with creating pauses between when the computer or player makes a move and when the board data is updated and the board data is displayed. I want these delays for two reasons. First it will help with debugging because sometimes the moves happen so fast it is hard to tell what the computer did. Second it is needed because I want to add animation for pieces when they jump or divide and when they change enemy pieces to a different color. The animation will need to know what move was made but not allow the board visual to be updated until after the animation is complete.
I have tried using the timer but it gets really harry and it is problematic because you can not pass any variables to it besides the event that triggers it. If I try to use global variables to get around it, the code becomes messier and also I will have a problem when I want to make the function recursive. I could try to build global variables into an array but things would really be getting messy at that point. It seems unbelievable that the creation of a delay would be so difficult.
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?
