Googling and trying, I've found: Variables identifiers cant begin with numbers and can only contain letters, numbers and the _ character. I was wondering if there is a length restriction.
View 7 RepliesI'm dynamically loading a CSS file and text file to populate a TextField. As far as the default styles are concerned, no problem!But as soon as I try stuff like p.title, the style is not applied. Is this a restriction of the CSS support that Flash/Flex offers? Do I have to resort to the "simpel-style-selectors" like ".title" or "p" in my CSS?
Works:
Code:
.title { color:#FF0000; }
Doesn't work:
Code:
p.title { color:#FF0000; }
ps: I know that Flash doesn't support everything that CSS has to offer, but I'm looking for confirmation of someone who can tell me for a fact that the above p.class-selector is not supported.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.
View 2 RepliesLets say I have 5 text boxes that are named t1, t2, t3 etc. I would like to use the variable "i" in the array below as part of the identifier to populate the field is this possible to use an incrementing variable as part of the instance identifer? for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {t(i).text = i;}
View 3 RepliesI have a question regarding the use of variable identifiers when using SharedObjects, I will explain. I want to have the identifiers of a SharedObject as variable names, so: I create a variable: var destinationLoc = ["destination"+mySharedObject.data.numRuns]; I write to SharedObject: mySharedObject.data.destinationLoc=destination;
Unfortunately the above script does not see the variable, destinationLoc as a variable and instead views destinationLoc as a "hard-coded" identifier Is there a way to create a variable sharedObject identifier?

I'm trying to remake a project that i did earlier in as2. Now i'm trying to build it in AS3.
It was a simple tool to convert text to hieroglyps. In the library I have all the different hieroglyfs and they are exported for actionscript with identifiers a,b,c,d,....
When i used AS2 i could accomplish this with this simple function
Code:
function convertWord(word){
for(i=0;i<word.length;i++){
[Code]....
But i don't find such an easy way in as3. How can i use a string variable as identifier to put a symbol on the stage.
as I probably do not describe the problem in the right terms, I was not able to get an answer with google. In the following code, I would like to replace 'hardcoded' identifier COMMENT with the variable editedField. How to do that?
var editedField:String = event.dataField;
if (model.multipleProcessingData[i][editedInformationProductNO].COMMENT != null{
}
I have ben trying to figure out how to make slideshow that will recognize how many pictures are specified in the XML document length and repeat when it reaches the end of the list. I have not been able to wrap my head around it and although I have seen somewhat similar posts here, My hope is to make a slideshow that others can update by editing the XML document only.
View 3 Repliesi have a list of mc's being placed using addChild() on the stage depending on the amount of entry's in a database... this works fine. then when i need to refresh that list i'm having a problem where they're either not completely refreshing, or only the top 10 is being refreshed etc...

I have text from an XML file that dynamically loads into a scrollpane.
The text appears in the scroll pane, and scrolls just fine --- but it doesn't show the full length of the dynamic XML text.
How can I make the length of a dynamic text area VARIABLE --- so that it expands to fill the length of the XML document?

Is it possible to wrap a variable-length-arguments function in Actionscript?[code]but it didn't work since sprintf was called with just 1 extra argument, i.e. the Array args.
View 2 RepliesThis is my first time posting to a forum as I have been unable to find the solution to this problem. I am receiving an array from a php script in this manner[code]...
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
I am trying to convert a .swf to .mov in Mac Leopard, and I have many rules to follow for this particular purpose.
.mov must be 640x480 or 720x480under 50 MB(my restriction) needs to look really good I have tried the following:
Export from Flash to .mov - I get 300 MB and it looks pretty badThis converter [URL] couldn't even take my .swf for some reasonThis converter [URL] works (37 MB) but the quality is pretty lowBring the .swf into Premiere and then export, which works great, but the file is 737 MB - even when I lower the quality all the way down to 1

I have a swf movie player located in [URL]. Normally this a.swf is used by a html page, the swf file is embedded in a [URL]. The website is not built by me but I know there is a restriction that only the html in [URL] can play the video . Now what I want to do is embed the a.swf into a c# project using swfloader, I will set the source property of swfloader to [URL]. My question is will the c# project be able to play to video file the same as in the html page?
View 1 RepliesA client wants to show complete html-pages inside a Flash movie. I've seen somewhere that this is possible through an IFrame, but then you can just rightclick the frame to view the source, and that's not what the client's looking for. I know it's possible to parse simple html tags in Flash in a TextField, such as <b></b> <a href=""></a> etc etc, but what are the restrictions? For example, all css should work, even flash movies inside the html page should work. I think they're asking too much, so what exactly is possible and what's not?

I'm newly transitioning from AS2 to AS3, and trying to figure out the proper way to detect the end of an external swf, or, essentially put "restrictions" on next buttons for a flash site.Basically, I have a training course where the user watches a little demo then clicks "next" to proceed to the next slide. This works wonderfully so far; however, I need to restrict the next button from being active until the demo has finished playing (so they can't skip ahead).The way this is structurally set up is I have a main container (mainContainer.swf) that loads in external content through an empty MC (contentMC) and cycles through an array (content1.swf, content2.swf, content3.swf) and so on...I have tried comparing the currentFrame to totalFrames of the external swf before activating the next button, but with no luck. Again, new to AS3 so probably have the syntax wrong...
if (contentMC.currentFrame == contentMC.totalFrames) {
trace("end of external swf");
//next button code here...continue cycling through array...

We are loading external swf content into an adobe air application. Content is provided by an increasing number of third parties.Being third party content, it will be loaded in a separate security domain (trustContent=false) and a sibling app domain (loadForCompatibility=true). We are doing this using the Loader class.What are the features/options/approaches that would cause problems when using the swf as external content?
I am interested in any kind of issues, as we have already reproduced issues with content that occur regardless of the app domain / security domain where its loaded ( and occurs also in both Loader and SWFLoader).

limits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.
I currently have a script that allows the user to click on a right or left arrow to scroll across a movie under a mask, but currently they can scroll it so you don't see anything in the middle. How can I add an X and Y axis limitations so this doesnt happen to the following script:

What is the reason Flash Builder 4's Network Monitor does not support applications that were created using pure ActionScript and Library projects? It seems to work only for Flex projects.
