I'm using Flash CS5 Components in an App. I want to allow the user to tab around.
I want a modal popup window to show and for the tab loop to switch from the main UI to the modal window UI.
Using FocusMangers should allow me to do this but I'm struggling to get anything working. The tabbing continues back out to the main UI instead of sticking in the window.
I want to create a tab-enabled popup window in an AS3 Air project. Currently, when I press tab several times, the focus goes through all the components in my popup window and then starts focusing the buttons and TextFields from the components that are behind the popup. I have tried to solve this problem in two ways, but none of them worked. I will explain both of the methods here
[Code]....
I have two AS3 projects. In one of them, I have a class where I import the FocusManager just fine...
import fl.managers.FocusManager; In the other project, I have a class with the exact same import line, but I get an error that the definition can't be found. I know it's spelled correctly because Flash is autofilling the text after I enter "fl." and then I choose "managers" and then "FocusManager". Both are set to export for player 9. I can't think of any other differences. Why would it find the definition sometimes and not others?
I am getting this error, randomly when I start my application (and it's sub applications). As you can see the stack trace is rather useless, although through the debugger I can see the parent of container (second in the stack) is an MXML class that has a repeater that repeats another component. Therefore I guess the component with the problem is that repeated component, although I am unsure what I can change to stop this from happening. If anyone can give me some insight to the FocusManager or the getFocus() function it would be really handy.[code]

i have an rtmp folder with videos,I am trying to do a seamless change to next video using nestsream play2 method.have tried using the fast switching of NetStreamPlayTransitions. SWITCH like below.[code]The problem is the switching is not happening.offset=-1 is supposed to be fast switching. The idea is to make a seamless transition to the next video.if we dont use any transition method or use opts.transition = NetStreamPlayTransitions.RESET;its the same as not using any. It just switches normally.RTMP is supposed to provide a relatively faster transition, i am looking for a seamless option .
View 1 RepliesI am using the following line of code in my Flash movie: navigateToURL(request,"_blank");However, when I am using Internet Explorer 7 (with tabbed browsing enabled), and this code is called to open a link, the link is opened in a new tab, but IE7 does not switch you to view that tab as you would expect!When I open a link in a normal web page in IE7 (and the link opens in a new tab because _blank was specified in the HTML code for that link), IE7 will switch you to that new tab to see the web page you just opened, so why does it not happen when using Flash?I know that within the settings for IE7, there is a setting that you can tick that says, Always switch to new tabs when they are created, and this solves the problem. However, many web site visitors will not have this ticked.How can I make sure that when a user opens a link in a new tab from my Flash movie, IE7 switches to that tab?I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesLet me preface this post by saying I have been studying actionscript 3 for 2 months now and I am now at a point where I am looking into how experienced developers code their projects and what tools they are using. Repeatedly, I come across a post or a blog entry where a developer says:
[Code]...
Now here comes my confusion/question(s). When a developer says something like that, are they saying that they ONLY use FDT to create their projects? If so then how are they going about doing it without the use of the Flash IDE? Do they just keep creating external .as classes and then link them all together or what?
In my 2 months of studying, I really feel like I have learned a lot, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around this. I want to break away from the Flash IDE (if at all possible) so that I can go deeper to the code.
I'm making a website for my business. I want this site to run similar to an OS UI. The first issue I've run into is swapping between "window" MC depths. I'm not quite sure if its just that I need to add a mathematical variable to each one every time it is clicked or how to getDepth of the highest "window" MC in order to put the desired "window" MC above it.

If I have a prompt window where I am asking the user for some input, is there some way I can prevent them from switching window focus to the other windows in my application? (switching to other applications is fine) I'd actually have preferred if the window didn't appear in the taskbar at all, but utility windows look awful and I'm using system chrome so lightweight is out.

View 1 RepliesNeed to design a flash video player which can run multiple angles of video at the same time. The primary video will run at full size, and the other angles will run at a much smaller sample size at the bottom of the video. User will then be able to select whichever angle of video he likes and upon clicking the smaller video it will become full screen/mainplayer shell. The video which was previously full screen will then take its place among the other smaller videos.
View 2 RepliesI've been having a problem with an interactive Flash CS5 project: when I navigate between frames using gotoAndStop(1); the program experiences the following error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I think this is because the first frame that the function goes to has none of the objects that have event listeners in frame 2. All I'm hoping to do is go back to the first frame. Would it be best to put everything on one frame and work from there? That seems unneccessarily complicated.

I've done a lot of Flash development and have been meaning to try out canvas for a while, but after browsing through some tutorials, I can't understand how this is supposed to replace Flash.
Note: I ask a lot of questions down here. I don't really expect them all to be answered. What I'm really looking for is some basic guidance about how I should be thinking while developing on <canvas>.
From the spec, it looks like <canvas> is really more analogous to the Graphics class in Flash, which one would use something like this:
class ColoredCircle extends Sprite {
private var _color:uint=0x0;
public function ColoredCircle(color:uint) {
[Code].....
Should I be treating <canvas> like a Sprite? Marking everything as position:relative should allow me to basically duplicate display list-type behavior (I don't believe that you can nest <canvas> elements, but you could probably do so by throwing in a bunch of <div>s). However, I use a lot of Sprites in my projects. That's going to be a metric crap-ton of tiny canvas elements. Also, how do you handle mouse events in <canvas>? Do they trigger if someone clicks on a transparent part of the canvas's box model (bad)? If I have a canvas with two circles in it and I need to know which one gets clicked on, do I have to do bounds-math with the mouse position?
Suppose I have one combo box and I am switching its data provider from oldDataProvider to newDataProvider with ActionScript. Both data providers are ArrayCollections. Then, when a change occurs in the oldDataProvider ArrayCollection, it affects the combo box, although it is not its data provider anymore. Specifically, when removing an item from oldDataProvider (in the range of the newDataProvider values), it decreases the selectedIndex value of the combo box by one, changing the selected item.
View 1 RepliesIt sounds super easy, but I don't know where to start. What I want is to have some buttons on the stage, and a mc to load some content related to the buttons. the content is in the library and is exported for actionscript. I want the content to fade in and out when you click a new button without leaving the page. Is this going to be an if then statement, switch statement, for loop?

i have an rtmp folder with videos,I am trying to do a seamless change to next video using nestsream play2 method. have tried using the fast switching of NetStreamPlayTransitions.SWITCH like below.
ActionScript Code:
private var FName:Array = ["1av.flv","2av.flv","3av.flv","4av.flv","5av.flv"];
private var opts:NetStreamPlayOptions = new NetStreamPlayOptions();
// on init of net connection

The problem is the switching is not happening.offset=-1 is supposed to be fast switching. make a seamless transition to the next video.
if we dont use any transition method or use
ActionScript Code:
opts.transition = NetStreamPlayTransitions.RESET;
its the same as not using any. It just switches normally.
I've created a function that plays a number of loops and transitions in a specific order which is this: Loop1 > Trans1 > Loop2 > Trans2 > Loop3 > Trans3 > Loop3..Now, the last loop (loop3) is supposed to play infinite after trans3 has finished, but that doesn't work. (This is the goLoop function )So, basically, what I want to do is to have a button that switches the currently playing loop to the next one, and between them should the transition play automatically.
