I have a mega XML file... there are 4 child nodes for over 2000 entries... trouble is, even when I try without a trace to make sure it's finding the XML (which it does)... it gets to around 500 then times out... it mentions a default timer of 15 seconds, is there a way to change this? Also is there something I should be doing for mega XML files?

I'm trying to convert a processing sketch to a flash as3 file, and I'm getting hung up on two of processing's commands - pushMatrix() and popMatrix() - how to convert these in flash?
Essentially I just need to store the matrix of lines I've drawn so far and draw a new line, and this gets done recursively. Here's my code:
var theta;
var xpos:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,draw)
function draw(e:Event) {

I am developing a Image uploader using Flash 10. I am using Filereference object to browse images and Loader to show the image:
Sample code:
var tempFileRef:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target);
var oLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoad);
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
oLoader.loadBytes(tempFileRef.data);
It works fine with .jpg and .gif files but when I browse .bmp or .tiff file, I am getting the error:
Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Is there a way to load and display browsed .bmp images from desktop?
Using AS 3.0 and the action script project I was planning on writting a small file handeling utility to make processing files through AS better and easier. The problem is the API states that to call file you go
import flash.file
Well in flashbuilder going import flash. only gives me filter, and no file handeling imports....
We're building a web-based application that requires heavy image processing. We'd like this processing load to be on the client as much as possible and we'd like to support as much platforms (even mobiles) as much as possible. Here's the info: Image processing is rasterization from some data. Think like creating a PNG image from a PDF file. We don't have a lot of server power. So client-side processing is a bit of a must.
So, we're considering: Flash - most widespread, but from what i read has lackluster development tools. (and no iPhone/iPad support for now). Silverlight - allows us to use .NET CLR, so a big ++ (a lot of code is in .NET). But is not supported for most mobiles ( rumored android support in the future) HTML5 + Javascript - probably the most "portable" option. The problem is having to rewrite all that image processing code in Javascript.
Clarification: I don't need further ideas on what libraries are available for Silverlight and Javascript. My dilemma is choosing Silverlight means no support for most mobiles choosing Flash means we have to redevelop most of our code AND no iPhone/iPad support HTML5 + Javascript we have to redevelop most of our code and not fully supported yet in all browsers choosing two (Silverlight + Flash) will be too costly Any out-of-the-box or bright ideas / alternatives
I am loading an XML file and when I run a trace inside the onLoad event the results show.When I put the same trace outside that event, the trace returns undefined because it runs before the XML is Loaded.I don't know how to assign the results of the XML to a variable being used outside the XML unless I call that through another event.For example. I want to preload some images if the user has been to the movie before. I call XML which has the image array. But I can't tap into that array because my function is outside the XML Load event and my function is not tied to an event.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a flash movie and I have all of the audio timed out right in the .fla, but when i hold Ctrl+Enter to play the .swf, the audio is not timed right. I haven't expoted the video yet so I'm hoping that the file will be fine when exported.In the file attached, (it is unfinished) the audio, "You talkin' to me?" should happen after the camera has already finished panning up to the man's head. Instead, the audio plays while the camera is panning upward.

View 4 RepliesI have a Flex GUI which is using AMF Streaming to BlazeDS on WebLogic 9.2. As the AMF Streaming uses long polling, it keeps the connection open for extended periods of time.
WebLogic has a max thread timeout of 600 seconds. WebLogic throws an error and times out the thread if it has been alive for longer than the timeout. This causes my GUI to lose its connection and hang.
I could change the default setting in WebLogic (StruckThreadMaxTime) but this would obviously negatively effect legitimately stuck threads.

As you don't know when as3 will actually do a draw, how do you time the draw? Basically I have my logic seperate, and can time it. I wish to time the render also. Then I can adjust how many frames I render per second but always run the logic at full speed (I assume that's 50fps if flash is set for that). Meaning of course the game runs the same speed on any platform, but the draw only happens when there is time i.e. less time more jerky but game speed the same.

The XML file is formatted like this:[code]The traces are all for debug purposes.If I place this code into the actions panel of the first frame of the flash document (without the thisObj:TriviaGame = this part), everything works fine and I get correct traces.If I place this code within TriviaGame.as, all of the traces print 'undefined', but it claims to have opened the file correctly.I've found a lot of XML tutorials on this site, but none of them seem to deal with processing XML from within a class file--they all put the code directly on the frame.

I've got a function that loads an XML file, and processes it into an array. Outside the function, if I trace for any of the contents of the array, it comes back undefined. What I've noticed is that the trace command is triggered before the array has been populated, even though the function to populate the array is called prior to the trace command.Here's the code:
Code:
var playListArray = new Array();
var myXML:XML = new XML();

I have two movieclips on stage (red_mc and blue_mc). I'm attempting to have blue_mc fade in first, then when it's finished, I'd like red_mc to fade in. Why is the following code not working? ....

import fl.transitions.easing.*;
function doBlue(e:TweenEvent = null):void {
[code]....
In another file, I have four movie clips: blue_mc, yellow_mc, green_mc and violet_mc. The idea is to make blue "invisible" to reveal yellow and back with keyboard command. And switch from green to violet and back with keyboard command. Problem is, one keyboard press switches both blue to yellow AND green to violet. I'd like it to happen sequentially ... meaning first keypress switches blue to yellow only. Next keypress switches the green to yellow only and so forth.
Subquestion for #2: the way it's set up now, it requires a keypress to switch BACK from the second color to the first. Ideally, I'd like to put it on a timer so that one keypress, turns blue to yellow, waits 5 seconds and resets back to blue. Next keypress, switches green to violet, waits 5 seconds and resets back to green.
// shows blue and hides yellow, switches at key_down
yellow_mc.visible=false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, hideShowBlueYellowKeys);

I am still pretty new to Flash, but I do understand mostlyhow things work. Basically, I have 5 banners (each in a named frameof their own) in a banner rotation SWF and I want to make themrotate continually through all 5 banners without using the timelineto do so. How would I use setInterval to force them to rotate, sayevery 3-5 seconds? Or, what command would I need to make them do
View 6 Repliesin the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3.

Does anyone know how accurate flash timing is and its ability to identify the client monitor's refresh rate? I need to be able to calculate time durations with up to 10 milliseconds accuracy of response time. Also if it is off, is there a way to possibly calibrate the response based on monitor refresh rate and action to make sure the value is as close to precise as possible? Any info would be great! Even better would be some examples of existing benchmark test.

text and image arive....text changes images fades out new image fades in.
you see the new text which doesnt match the previous image.....
How can i trigger the text to appear (alpha?) when the new picture is at a certain alpha say 50%?
