I have a small slideshow loading 3 different images with XML in an animated loader.My problem is that the first round, when the images are not cached in the browser, it starts playing before the images are finished loading.Is there a way to add a sort of preloading code to my code below without having to re-write everything? I tried to add an eventListener COMPLETE to the loading images but somehow it wont work?[code]

I was wondering so long that how can people analyze the trait of each file extension (of course open it in notepad is not readable) For example, I want to write a program that can read everything from .fla file like timeline, movie clips, position of each MCs or all the motion tween values. And get the image embeded in it. (I'm planning to use flash as IDE for another project.)
(The reason that I tried to read proprietary format is I want to utilize their awesome editor. What I actually want to do is, I want to make an iOS game with cocos2d. There is a code to move things around in cocos2d but there is no decent editor. So I'd like to use Flash as an editor, then convert the motion to objective-C cocos2D code by reading the .fla file.)
I have 16 tweens happening at the same time which I've done using actionscript. Its basically the same thing happening 16 times with slight changes to coordinates and mc names in each tween.
Is there a way of creating an array with a list of mc names which can just be dropped in to a template? Below in my code:

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use Flex Builder 3 to write my Actionscript 3.0 Code however whenever I try to Eg: import fl.transitions.Tween; it does not recognize the fl folder let alone the Tween Class to import.
Where is the default Actionscript 3.0 Classpath so that I can add it to Flex Builder 3's Source path?Btw I am using Adobe CS4 / Flex Builder 3.
I am trying to decide whether or not I should go with Flash or XCode for my next project. I am trying to determine if Actionscript 3.0 + Flash CS 5.5 will allow me to write code to make in app purchases - something that is vital for my project.Is there an API that will allow in app purchases through CS 5.5?
View 3 RepliesI have flash cs4 and when I am typing code in the editor. It appears that the more code I add to my .as document, the more sluggish it gets. When typing, it appears to be a delay for when my text actually appears on screen. does anyone know what this could be.
View 4 RepliesIm making a transition from Java to Flash/Actionscript and Im having sort of a hard time figuring out where to write my code for my flash game loop(or engine) due to flash having "frames" unlike Java.Am I able to put the loop inside the Document class even having like game menus in the game? I havent found a way to put it in there without it always running when the flash application begins.Or should I just have the game loop called every frame? For instance, frame 4 will be level 1 and so the engine will be called out there. And frame 5 will be level 2 and ill call a different instance of the game engine there.Im just having a difficult time due to the "frames". So where would be the best place to put the game loop?
