Is it possible to wrap text around an image? Here is a link of what I would like to do with Flex, not HTML as in the example. Will it be possible to use the textFlow component like we tried here?
What I have so far is all my menu items get added to an array and they have a start y property. They are all evenly placed apart.I'm taking this is little steps so as a start I wanted to click on a menu item and just move it to the center of the menu and reposition the others.I have the mid point stored.So when I click the item I find out what index in the array the item is at and I find how many index positions away the item with the start y I want to move to is.I then go through every item in the array and tell it to look that many positions away, get the startY of the item there, and set it as its destination Y. In theory it seems sound to me but it completey does not work.the code I have so far is like this
Code: private function rearrangeStartY($menuitem:MenuItem):void {
I've got a infinite scroller (adjusted one of scotty's) and it's not wrapping around i.e there's a gap in the images, the last image kinda blinks at a certain point.I've attached the files, it's probably something quite simple but i cant see it.Here's the script:
I'm trying to load text within a shape on the stage. The shape is a square with the left and right sides concaved. )( ...I'm not sure how to go about this...my text is loading externally from a .txt file, making me think that this is not possible.
Ive got a dynamic text box that loads different strings into it under the msgText var right, but the text is like 3 lines long sumtimes. So how can i implement sort of a word wrap kinda thing.
How do I disable text wraping around an image? Just to normally write under an <img> with a single <br> (not more) in a htmlText? I wanna get rid of auto text wrapping...
i have a straight, gradient line which extends from one end of the screen to the other.
what is the best (or only) approach for screen wrapping this line graphic, so that it appears to be moving?
my current "solution" is to draw the horizontal line at double the width of the screen and duplicate the gradient pattern for each half of the line. the line is center-registered and it's moved toward the right. once half of the line traverses the stage, the line is reset to it's starting point.
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.
I'm working in Away3d and have hit a road block.I'm creating an abstract primitive (that looks like a pentagon) made from 5 faces, each of which is determined by dynamically generated vertices. I can't just use the regular polygon class because the placement of the object has to be exact.
Here's the issue:I need to 'cover' the abstract primitive in a bitmap.So all five faces need to be covered in one bitmap.But my code (below) results in each face getting covered by its own bitmap.So instead of looking like a pentagon covered with the image, you can see each face individually covered by a different copy of the bitmap.
var ap:AbstractPrimitive = new AbstractPrimitive(); var bmm:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(Cast.bitmap("roundDoor")); ap.bothsides = true; [code]....

I have a time line of 500 points. On a timeline that wraps around how do I find if the shortest distance between two points is to go forward or backward? Example,I'm on frame 30, the target frame is 100 and the total frames are 500. I know that going it will take 70 frames to get to 100 going forward and 430 to go in reverse but I don't know the codes to figure this out. I'm using ActionScript but I think I would understand the codes if it were written in other professional languages like JavaScript.
I would like to have a spark datagrid that wordwraps all rows where relevant. At the moment it appears like the width of a cell is dependent on the contents of the first row and then subsequent rows are word wrapped. For example:
[Code].....
How can I get the datagrid to dynamically resize to 100% of the container width and for wordwrapping to happen on all rows? (not just rows after row 1)
I've got a text field pulling XML and its CSS. The XML has a few long lines of text it uses as links. The links are long enough to word-wrap in the text field. Now, if you were to select the text, it would only select the words. However, the blank area to the right of the wrapping link is still an active hotspot for the link somehow. I wouldn't consider this a problem if clicking the blank area didn't return the text field to the top (it is scrolling text). It gets very distracting and hard to track where you are in the text.
Our Flash web-based applications play lots of audio for narration and sound-effects. Some of our customers have firewall rules that block downloading of MP3 and other audio files. So, we need to wrap those MP3 files in SWFs. In the past, I've written JSFL scripts that automate the Flash IDE and walk through a complicated, fragile set of steps to embed MP3 files into FLAs and then publish those to SWFs. Now, Flex SDK provides the mxmlc compiler. I've mixed ANT into our workflow, and command-line and automated builds have been a joy. So, I want to make transcoding or wrapping of MP3s part of our build process. I've found Embedding Asset at Compile time in Pure AS3, but this will require that I write a script to generate a wrapper class AS file. Is there a cleaner way to wrap or transcode MP3 files into SWFs?
how to detect the end of an flv playback. I am loading in a flv to a webpage, using the FlvPlayBack component. Everything is working fine as to be expected. How do I insert a credits image to display once the flv has finished? Users would need to be able to restart the flv playback too. I have been looking at cuePoints etc...
I have embedded a swf into a another swf using Loader & URLRequest methods, which work fine.
To detect whether the swf has ended I define it as a MovieClip. Then I check (using an ENTER_FRAME event listener) if the current frame is equal to the total frames. This works fine for a swf with a simple animation in the timeline (what I was testing on). However:
If I use the same method for a swf with a streaming flv inside it, it gives me a runtime error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Play_Intro@20d71b51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
If I define it as a Sprite- it plays without any errors, but then how do I detect when the swf is at the end?
is there a way to detect when the sound is done playing? i want to make something happen but only after the sound is done playing.if i know the length of the sound, can I just wait that many number of seconds, or will it not synch up on slower/faster computers?
I am trying to implement paged recordsets in a datagrid and since I've not been able to find a way as a standard feature of as3 (recordset type was not provided in as3) - I'm cooking my own.The only problem I have is knowing when additional records should be requested. I need to be able to tell when the scroll bar or other method is used to scroll the datagrid down to the end (or near the end).
I'm trying to make this fluid preloader that uses tween classes to change the size of the bar instead of just using something likegotoAndStop(percent)I have the tween class working but need a way for it to detect the change of the percentage variable. Here's what I'm trying to get it to do:Current percentage is at 55, this is set as the "currentPercent" variable. It suddenly jumps to 65%, the "currentPercent" variable would change to 65 while the "prevPercent" variable would stay at 55 so the tween class could have a beginning and ending value.
is it possible to detect if flash is installed using PHP. My aim is, that if it is installed it will play a flv file, and if not it will use another player eg; quicktime?
Basically it's a browser window scaleable flash movie, that most of it's elements move position to each RESIZE event. But a part of it is pretty cpu heavy, so I want that to only update when the user have stopped resizing.
I have not found anything about this in the forums and the solutions I've tried are not working.
- tried MOUSEUP event on stage, but the mouse is off the stage, so it doesn't register.
- tried a timer that measures the stop of movement of the mouse, but mousX/Y is not measured when mouse is off the stage.
UPDATE: mouseX/Y might not work, but stage.stageWidth is updated. But still not a very nice solution
