View 3 RepliesIs there way to get the browser to always load any swf files before everything else on a page (exept the external css and swfobject.js). Using Firebug's Net statistics I can see the swf files generally load last.
We have all our external js files inserted at the bottom of the page to help loading times.
Is there any possibility to load the elements of an Array individually on stage with TweenMax? I mean to be loaded individually with a delay for ex. 3 sec each?
View 1 RepliesIs it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
When i create a menu, the dropdowns go behind the flash element. But in some sites, like Digg, it is shown above. z-index is of no use
View 2 RepliesI made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.

View 3 RepliesI work in Adobe Flash cs3 and as2. First I have flv file no1 it contains buttons, animations, imported sounds and fonts, lot of layers, preloader and its all mixed on stage (its a kind of meny for a web page). Now Im working on flv no2 in which all the elements contained in flv no1 are represented as a small picture (button) which should call (make it visable like zooming that object) some mc that contains all the elements from flv no1 and working as they do in flv no1. how to pack all the elements in flv no1 in a form of movie clip and import it to flv no2 and preserve all the functionality.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if flash can allow the user to arrange elements (in a published swf) on the stage and "lock" their positions so that if the swf is reopened or reset, it will retain the new arrangement. How would you describe this feature?
View 1 RepliesHow would I make only some elements of my movie resize to fit the screen?For instance: I have a 2000 px wide movie and inside it a centered 1000px wide MC which will aways fit the screen while other elements (the background for examle) won't resize.
View 5 RepliesI'd like to ask the following question: for instance, I have a scene in 3ds max with 10000 textured cubes. Is it possible to export this .max scene to Flash and create a .swf application, in which user will be able to rotate, zoom the scene and also select a particular cube and all this done without visible PC slowdown? After some googling I found that Papervision3D is a good tool for working with 3D in Flash.

View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new at flash development but here goes: is it possible to use xml to drive the layout of a flash website in CS3? Perhaps using ActionScript 2 or 3? In particular, I'm looking to be able to for e.g. create a news ticker where changing the XML allows you to 1) change the text and appearance, 2) framerate can be controlled, 3) interpolations between key frames can be specified (e.g. linear interpolation)
View 1 RepliesI had no problem working with xml in cumbersome AS2, but apparently it's menat to be easier in ASŁ, however I'm having a problem getting the data from this piece.
Basically I need to be able to access the id & src.
At the moment I can only parse a certain depth of XML elements, and I was wondering how you could get the deepest XML element, because at the moment I have a series of for each loops that loop through xmlElem.children() but this only allows me to parse to a certain depth, so it's rather limited.
View 2 RepliesI want to get all xml elements (xml descendents) which have some attributes like:
<books>

<book concept="tt" />
<book concept="yy" />
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>
</books>
I need to perform a xml descendent search for xml nodes with author attribute containing
results should be:
<book concept="rr" author="xx"/>
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>

I'm having a bit of a problem loading in xml into my flash document. Current my file loads in thumbnails and if you click on those thumbnails the full size version of that loads on the screen - you save it - and it writes to the database. If you come back to this application - I want it to load the photos that you saved to the stage last onto the stage again. There are 5 photos that should be loaded - but for some reason only the first one is loading. The xml looks like this:
Code:
<items>
<item id="2" type="body" src="body/body/body_2.png" />

I'm working on a site which is loading different swf to a main file. For that i have a script which is calling my six swf from six button. I'm also having a basic sliding animation in actionscript when I change page.
Everything works find but now for this project i want to place 3 element which are going to stay on top of the swf. This is the tricky part for me as i'm a novice to AS3. I searched for few days and i find maybe 2 ways to do this.
the first one would be to upload the external swf to an empty movie clip which would be place under the other elements. So i try to use an addChild(); on the button action but it just duplicate the swf (one on top same as before and one into the movieclip) and the animation is not working within the movieclip.
after i try to place the swf to load on the lowest level with a movieClip(root) but i don't know where to place it within the script to make it work correctly.
This is the script i'm using:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//Assign CLICK listeners for each menu button
btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);
btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);

How do you empty an array. I want the array complete empty, so the array length =0. I have tried this code, but that doesn�t take away all elements in an array, just a few.
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
myArray.pop();
}
What is the easiest way to let a variable refer to all the elements in an array?

I have created an as3 loader with fixed text on the left then the loaded images in the middle and the buttons on the right. I then created another loader with several buttons to load the original loader. it works but the different elements from the original loader are out of place.
Here is the coding for the second loader the coding for the first loader is below:
this.stop()
var myrequest9:URLRequest=new URLRequest("bolly.jpg");
var myloader2:Loader=new Loader();
myloader2.load(myrequest9);
stage.addChild(myloader2);
