I have a flash script which creates instances of movie clips and stores them in an array. What I want the script to perform next, is when clicking a "save" button the position and the movieclip class name of each created instance will be sent to an external script to store.

I've got a problem with an if/else statement within a function which checks to see which 'drop area' one of ten items should to snap to.. the problem is I can only set the start location of each item to work on the first hitTest, otherwise after clicking another item or positioning any item in one of the drop areas, the drop area becomes it's start location due to startDrag() and stopDrag() been called again to move the object..
What I've tried to do here is to create a variable (which does trace the correct (currentTargetHome) movieclip reference, but as a string) but it doesn't work when I try to access it's attributes using [currentTargetHome]. The item exists within the movieclip "gamePage" and the rest of the function works !

i have been doing some experimenting with sending variables to php from flash. but i need to extend my sending class so i can send variables, arrays or objects without having to define the vars before i send them. in other words the number of vars i need to send must be dynamic.so far i made an sidesollution by compressing an array to a string, then send it and then exploding it to an array again when it reaches php. this is really a last resort in my eyes, and i would like to send complete objects that php can read.
View 4 RepliesI succeeded in sending typed objects from a PHP application to a flex front-end using Zend_AMF as per this question. The problem I am facing now is that I would like to send a typed object from flex to PHP and on the PHP side, be able to receive it as a typed object instead of stdClass.
Here is the class in flex:
package com.mysite{
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="CTest")]
public class CTest {
public var stuff1:String;
[Code] .....
After some testing, I removed the namespace from the PHP object and moved it into the global namespace. This seems to have resolved the issue. I have tried setting RemoteClass to modules estingCTest and also modules.testing.CTest. $_eplicitType was then set to the same value for both tests. The result is that when I use modules.testing.CTest, this is the classname that Zend_AMF sees. If I use namespace notation, Zend_AMF sees modulestestingCTest, as all the slashes get stripped out. But how can I get this working with php namespaces?

View 7 RepliesI have 4 objects that I all want to have their own velocities. I have a bunch of variables (each one has a different value):
PHP Code:
public var vx1:Number;public var vx2:Number;public var vx3:Number;public var vx4:Number;
Rather than having a function for each object to say:
PHP Code:
function1 { this.x = vx1}function2 { this.x = vx2}function3 { this.x = vx3}function4 { this.x = vx4}
I'd like to have a for loop to have my objects x position to += vx(1 through 4):
PHP Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<5; i++) {
this.x += (vx+[i]);
}
So I tried the above with a combination of " " around different parts of (vx+[i]) but I realized that turning any of it into a string means 'this.x' cannot read it because x has to be a number not a string. So how can I make this.x = vx1 then vx2 and so on with a for loop?
The buttons are all set up in Action Script and not placed on the timeline at all.Here is the code for postion on the buttons.I do not want to move the buttons by PixelsI would like to move the buttons by Perectage so it will look the same on all computer monitors.The person that I am editing the file for would like them in the bottom left of the screen.Here I have moved them by Pixels but these buttons do not appear in the same place on all monitors.

A Flex project exported as a Projector, showing fullscreen. The project has a background and several dots which each represent a "Location". These locations are fetched from an XML file and have their position set in percentages. The location in pixels is calculated (this works as it should) by the width and height of the Application. The dots are placed correctly. The background is a JPG with a resolution of 1280*1024. At this moment, the background is set on a Canvas with backgroundSize = auto. This places the image in the center without stretching it. Stretching results in ugly, pixelated images and tears the proportions apart.
Problem When we view the project on 2 different resolutions (1 = 1280*1024; 2 = 1024*768), the dots are in the good position, the background image is sharp. But - because of the background having the same resolution as 1, the background isn't fully shown in resolution 2 (because it isn't stretched. A logic result. That's why I tried stretching the background. The results:

I know how to ease objects from one position to another etc, but how do you make it ease position as well as transparency? so it fades in while moving to it's new position?
Code:
var WelTween:Tween = new Tween(welcome, "x", Strong.easeOut, CurMarkXPosWel, 277, 2, true)
is there a way to add like 0% opacity to 100% opacity in the same line of code or do you do seperate?

I have a script where i need an objects X and Y Position to change when you enter a certain frame.
On layer 1 i have an input text field with the instance of "message_txt" that runs along all 5 frames in the timeline.
On layer 2 i have 5 frames each with its own actionscript on. The user navigates between frames with simple 'gotoAndStop(4)' etc... on each next or back button.[code]...
I have several objects, moveclip, graphics and shapes in several layers keys and want to change position, for example, a moveclip is in the position X: 218 Y:45 and so in other key layers,To change it to X: 240 Y: 50, I go to keyframe for keyframe touch the object and go to properties and change one by one is annoying.Is there any way to do this more quickly at one time in all key frames?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to do adjustment of position (x and y) of display objects, relative to other display objects. In other words: I have two Sprite objects (rectangle and circle). The rectangle can have their width changed during execution. Yet the circle has a fixed size. What I do is this: regardless of the width of the rectangle, the circle is positioned at the far right of this rectangle.
I tried as follows:
ActionScript Code:
rectangle.width = someValue;
circle.x = rectangle.x + (rectangle.width-circle.width);
In theory it should work, but look what happens:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/positionq.png
As the width of the rectangle increases the distance from the desired location also increases.
Using:
ActionScript Code:
trace (rectangle.width);
I realized that the value of property 'width' does not match the exact amount of pixels that the object is wide. I just did a test and realized that this problem only happens when the rectangle has edge. When the rectangle has only fill, this problem does not occur.
I'm trying to create 49 total objects, each 50x50 px. And position them in 7 rows and 7 columns. I think I must use nested for loops but this is all Ive come up with.

Right now I'm working on a website that has movie clips that I want to tween back and forth across the stage when a button is pressed.
Here's the idea:
When 2_btn is pressed, I want 1_mc, 2_mc, and 3_mc to move from right to left and then stop when 2_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 3_btn is pressed I want all three to be animated from right to left until 3_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 1_btn is pressed I want all three to move from right to left until 1_mc is positioned on the stage, then stop moving and play
Basically I have no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word it into Google.
What I have right now, which obviously isn't accomplishing what I want is:
Tween from left to right across the timeline, and then using a gotoAndPlay, and then stop(); on the frame..
In trying to activate the remainder of the pause button, I find that using MovieClip(loader.content).channel.position always returns 0. I've tried numerous other combinations to access the position of the sound for the play function to resume correctly. The visual part of extswf.swf stops and starts exactly as it should.
In CntlClass:
public var loader:Loader;
public var movie_mc:MovieClip;
public var soundResume:int = 0;[code].........
here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 1; i < 10; i++) {
var symbols = new targetTester();

I've been trying to sort objects depths based on their Y position but have not been able to do it efficiently. I was able to successfully sort objects with a selection sort algorithm and a quick sort algorithm; however, both have only been partly successful. Selection sort gets about 8-10/30 FPS with 13 objects and gets about 14-18/30 FPS. This is not good enough as I figure I could have as many as a hundred objects to be sorted at once.
After digging around, I found that array.sort() is more efficient than a quick sort implemented in AS3 and that calling swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() at every swap was bogging it down. So now I am copying the objects array and sorting it with sort() and then comparing the two and swapping displayObjects so as only to call the swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() method once per element. It appears to be running, and at full speed, though it won't swap correctly. Here is my code:

On my html page I have two frames, one for navigation and the other for content. The navigation menu is an swf. Most of the content is html, except for the 'gallery' page.
The thumbnails for the gallery appear within the navigation. I can get the pictures to load from the thumbnails into the 'content' frame using LoadVars sendAndLoad.
However, doing this means that the flash gallery refreshes itself each time a thumbnail is clicked (thereby losing the transition effect).
So, how do I load the images in the other frame without reloading the flash??
Could I do it using external interface? ..

At the end of the mixing, I would also like our server to mix the 2 mp3 files with the proper positioning into 1 mp3 file...
I have been having major trouble using embedded FLV's as anyone who has read [url]...
I have tried using externalk FLV files instead. They are only small, basically they are a persons animated face with some talking.
I do not require a player so have selected none, which is fine. I have had to move them and use the freetransform tool to get some of them to fit in the right palces perfectly.
However, when I publish the movie the FLV's are in different places to where they appear in the fla?
