ActionScript 3.0 :: Working With Multiple Projects
Aug 11, 2009
I am working on an educational project where users access multiple interfaces that teach them scientific concepts and I've come to a snag in the best method of developing these interfaces.As they were developed in the last module the format looked like this. Each interface was a separate swf file that contained all needed code, graphics, and a set of fake data for whatever the interface needed. Each revision of the interface is compiled and displayed through meetings or emails where the actual swf file is sent, we do not have a test server nor do we have access to the internet in the rooms where reviews happen. Currently after the final look and interaction is approved all calls to the fake data are modified to either make database calls themselves, or call functions from it's containing swf file once it is loaded.[code]Obviously I haven't gotten it to work but I'm thinking something along those lines. Any suggestions on a method to do this the best. Ultimately I would like to be able to do this for embedding assets as well. For example a font, currently I load fonts from an external file, which means each FLA needs a copy of that font file and at completion all files load the same text file.

we have java and flex projects at work. We currently have 1 base pom that contains the configurations we want to use for both projects. Problem with this is: flex projects inherit configuration for javadoc and pmd for example, which they do not want.
I want to do this a bit more clean and have a real base-pom and then a java-base-pom and a flex-base-pom. But how does this work in a multimodule that has both a flex part and a java part?
We have plugins to our own application where we use the following structure:
my-plugin
my-plugin-client (flex)
my-plugin-server (java)
The my-plugin just contains a pom.xml with section. I would use the my-plugin pom.xml as a parent to both, but then I cannot also use the java base-pom or the flex base-pom also as parent.

I recently completed a project for a custom report UI in Flex. Now, I've been tasked with creating a new application that is essentially a "lite" version of the original UI. It will include only a few of the options that are in the original application. Also, it needs to be a separate application.
I do not want to duplicate my code, so I am planning on moving a bunch of the classes from the original application to a new library that can be shared by both applications. However, I'm trying to figure out how to make this work in my MVC environment.
For example, I have an Accordion component that lets users filter several items. Each Accordion child is an instance of a custom component with two lists (one for entities available for selection, the other for the entities the user has selected). Each child component has properties bound to the Model and functions that call Cairngorm Events.[code]...

I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?

My main movie calls loadMovieNum("projects/index.swf", 1); . Therein, the movie index.swf calls loadText.load("projects/projects.html");.
Is there a way to change the working directory so that index.swf can simply call projects.html, without referencing the projects directory? This is particularly useful bc the text file calls a number of links.

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);

I'm attempting to create a multiple image uploader (think Coppermine) where the user clicks a button in an SWF, selects a file or multiple files, and then these files are uploaded to a directory. I have a PHP script that handles the uploading a file, and my Flash file iterates over the files in the FileReferenceList and sends the file to this PHP script to upload. The directory path in the PHP script is correct, and permissions set to 777.
The contents of my ActionScript 3.0 class look like this:
package com.yourfightsite.imageupload {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code] .....
The three methods at the bottom of the class fire JavaScript functions in my HTML page that add the file names to a file queue widget, and update the percent value next to them, and finally mark them as complete. However, when I select files, they are added to the file queue widget as expected and then nothing. The files aren't uploaded, the files in the file queue widget aren't updated, and no errors are thrown, either in the console (I'm using Chrome) or Flash when publishing my movie.

The next bitmap I have is the problem. I started with working on creating the playable avatar. He is on the same layer, but he only works if I add him AFTER the tile bitmap has been completed, AND if I call him with a listener.Call me crazy, but this seems to be when it works. The main class builds the tiles into the bitmap data, and while this is running, if the certain tile is where the main character starts, it calls the Hero class, and that class creates the new bitmap data. Doesn't work before running the loop that adds the tiles, nor after. weird right?

I have some code that needs to read like the following:IF the original position(origX) DOES NOT EQUAL where my object is(this._x) AND delay variable(delay) is set to 0, then I need to display a movieclip. There is an X on the movieclip so users can close it, and when they click the X, the delay variable is set back to 1, so the movieclip won't keep loading.
ActionScript Code:
var delay = 1;
if (origX == this._x && delay == 1)

I've been developing an AS3 based 2D fighting game engine (like Street Fighter II), and have run into an issue. I'm using if/else statements in my onEnterFrame function to hit test my fighters. This works great in my first if/else statement, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my second if/else statement that follows the first. I know it's not the code, because if I bring the second if/else statement up and place it above the first statement (simply swapping the order), the hit test is successful. Why is it that only the if/else statement that comes first works, but any that come after it don't?
Here's my code:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
//MOVE THE char1
PlayerBase.players[0].x += plyr1vx;
PlayerBase.players[1].x += plyr2vx;
[Code] .....
I've also attached a .zip file with my published files so you can see the issue in the game (must be viewed in a browser for keys to work correctly). Move the left player using "A" and "D" keys. Make him punch with "Z" and kick with "X". Punch is the first if statement in my code, and kick is the second if statement (not working).

I am working on a project which looks like a crossword puzzle. When you mouse over on the white boxes they will light up. When you mouse over the letters they will have 3d rotations and when you rollover only some specific letters, they will flip some specific boxes.
Right now what happens is, when you mouse over the boxes with letters on them, the letters will rotate but the box will not light up. This is because I have created the box movieclip, with the invisible button inside it, and then just duplicated it in my scene to create a tile. But the invisible button for the letters are on the scene,so it's kinda overriding it.when I tried having the buttons on the scene rather than inside the movie clip, what happened is when you roll over one of the boxes, all of them will animate.

I'm trying to make a moving star field using a for loop and duplicateMovieClip, but when I try to add more than one duplicateMovieClip statement, it ends up only doing the last one... so for example, with the sample code at the bottom, it would only make 20 small blue stars, instead of doing each one. I have no idea why it wont do each one, probably because im really new to Flash, and Actionscript.

I'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?

Got 9 MCs which I want a rollover effect for. I made 1, copied it and it's instance name 9 times. And made this script:
Code:
function menu_btn_over() {
myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(_root.main.menu.btn.btn_parent, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, _root.main.menu.btn.btn_parent._x, 0, inspeed);
[code]...
But it only works for one of the buttons. The one I made the copies from.I figured you could do this since it's the same MC? I could be wrong though. If that is the case, is there some way I can make the same action for every button without having to make a bunch of calls for each one? for example:
"_root.main.menu.btn1 <and> btn2 <and> btn3 <and> etc.onRollOut = function() {"

Are there any audio management libraries for ActionScript 3? The more tailored they are for game development the better.I'm finding it hard to understand and work with multiple channels, which is making a lot of my audio sound screwy and cancel each other out, etc. I've been working on an RPG that can at a given time have quite a number of sounds playing such as environmental noise (like opening doors, thunder, rain, etc), walking enemies, inventory sounds (for events like dropping an item into your inventory), passive spell-casting sounds, voice clips, weapon swinging etc. Alternatively, if there are any good resources that explain how to use multiple sound channels strategically.

In the first frame of an fla I have the code below, only the functions in red works. When rolling over the second only the first function in blue works but the mouse freezes when attempting to rollout (green). But if I remove the code from the first frame and code each seperate button the functions work.
Any reason for this
stop();
btn_shopping.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndStop(2)_root.main_mc.gotoAndStop(1065);
} btn_shopping.onRollOut = function () {
gotoAndStop(1)_root.main_mc.gotoAndPlay(162);
} btn_pen.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndStop(3)_root.main_mc.gotoAndStop(1066);
} btn_pen.onRollOut = function (){
gotoAndStop(1)_root.main_mc.gotoAndPlay(283);}

I have created my own file upload flash app that has been working great for me up until this point. It uses PHP to upload the files and sends back a status message which gets displayed in a status box to the user. Now I have run into a situation where I need the HTML to pass a parameter to the Actionscript, and then to the PHP file using POST. I have tried to set this up just like adobe has it on [URL] without success.
Here is my Actionscript code:
import fl.controls.TextArea;
//Set filters
var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png)", "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png");
var textTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Documents (*.txt, *.rtf, *.pdf, *.doc)", "*.txt; *.rtf; *.pdf; *.doc");
var allTypes:Array = new Array(textTypes, imageTypes);
[Code] .....
The flashVars variable is the one that should contain the values from the HTML file. But whenever I run the program and output the variables in the PHP file I receive the following.
//Using this command on the PHP page
print_r($_POST);
//I get this for output
Array (
[Filename] => testfile.txt
[Upload] => Submit Query
)
Its almost like the parameters are getting over written or are just not working at all.

So I made a drag and drop app where I can drop in an image, it get's resized and saved automatically on the desktop.
But now I want to do the same when there are multiple images dragged in. This is where I'm stuck...
private function onDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void
{
trace("Dropped!");
var dropfiles:Array = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;

The problem is that I want the completeHandler() to run after every ldr.load() but in my code it only runs once right after the for each loop.
