I want to open/convert a class in Flash that has was build for Flex. Now there are includes like StringUtil wich are easy to rewrite and others like bitmapasset which are not found.Is it possible to add the core classes of flex to my classpath?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible? If so, what's the preferred way? I'm seeing lots of ArrayUtil and StringUtil AS3 classes, but I don't like using them as it defeats the purpose of an object (StringUtil.trim(str) instead of str.trim()).

Im using the free flex 3 SDK, with a plain text editor... And I want to be able to import files from my previous libraries.. So how do I set the classpath to those?
if someone presses ctrl +alt +delete or any kind of shutdown hook from any os and delete the flex process from task manager then how can i track from that flex process application that killing that flex process was activated so i like to do some processing before killing this process.

Why is it that the mx.core.Container uses its contentPane sometimes, but doesn't at other times?Or, in other words, how come the children of Container are only put into the contentPane if some complex logic decides that they should be put there? Why not simply always put all children in the contentPane?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a large flex project. This Project consists of a CORE application, and other sub-applications.The CORE application should contain information that will be shared by all other projects (e.g., link to database, data manager which loads data from the database, application information like height width colors fonts... etc.).
The sub-applications each has a certain task. Each sub-application is a large project by itself so I don't think its a good idea to put all code inside one HUGE project.The CORE project should run the main application, and through a navigation menu, I should be able to click and run other sub-applications.Is there a way to created the CORE application to reference those sub-applications so that I can run them inside of the CORE. At the same time, those sub-applications should reference the CORE applications to get the NetConnection to the database and other important information that they might share?

I have many flas with Document Classes associated to them. I have been using them successfully on both Mac and PC for over a year now. But just last week when ever I transfer the files to my Mac to work on them I get the error class not found on your classpath one will automatically be generated upon export.
Is there parts of the files that can become corrupted but continue to work on the PC? I have not changed anything in my classpath recently and some files have retained the link and some have not. I have tried transferring the files many ways now and even tested them on other macs and both macs have the same problem. I've emailed the files, used a flash drive, done interenet transfers (FTP) and I still have the same error. I can open the files fine too.
if a object already exists(not created dynamically) on the time-line how do i reference its instance name im loading the class like this
class is (Scene.as)
var Scene2:Sprite = new Scene()
and its extending Sprite
I've also tried extending movie clip and that didn't appear to help,
is the extend part what gives it the reference to the time-line of the script that initiated it, or was i way off?
I keep trying to get started with Papervision, but I must be entering the classpath incorrectly as I keep getting errors that the compiler cannot find the classes.Is there some kind of bug with setting the classpath on a mac?I checked out the papervision stuff so it sits in:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/
Inside the src folder is a folder called "org", which contains "papervision3d" and the folders of classes.To set the classpath, I've gone to Preferences, chosen ActionScript, clicked on the ActionScript 3.0 button at the bottom, clicked the plus sign, and then clicked on the little folder button to add a path to the Library box (the middle box). I browsed and selected:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/
I thought at this point (after quitting and restarting Flash) that if I created a class file that had, for example,
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*
that it would work -- but it doesn't. It only works if I save the .fla and .as files themselves in /Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/, in the same folder as the "org" folder. And I guess this means that the path in the Preferences setting is useless.
The company I work for outsourced the development of a flash project which I have now taken over. We had a handover from the developer and all was working well. However, I have moved all files onto a new machine and now I get several errors when I compile. The project is set up as follows (this isn't all the folders):
mainFolder
mainFolder-in
mainFoldersrcfolderB
mainFoldersrccases
mainFoldersrccontainerMain.fla (and Main.as)
When I compile Main.fla (all fla's are set to compile to the bin folder) I get the error -
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PageEvent.
Which refers to this line in the class -
protected function pageEventHandler(e:PageEvent):void
PageEvent is a class that is found in the folderB directory - mainFoldersrcfolderBevents
It is imported into the Main class -
import folderB.events.PageEvent;
3 errors appear, all the same for the 3 times the var e:PageEvent is referenced.
It seems that the main.fla/.as cannot find PageEvent class.
Another example is this:
In the directory mainFoldersrccases is a class Case1.as/fla
this class extends CaseSpaceCore which is found here - folderB.pages.cases.spaces.CaseSpaceCore; and is imported into Case1.as
When I try to compile I get the error -
1017: The definition of base class CaseSpaceCore was not found.
and then other errors about overridden methods that is cant find because it cant find the base class.
I am using Flashdevelop (if that makes a difference) as did the developer. I have tried adding the class path in the project settings to srcfolderB but this made no difference.
Im having problems with classpaths. I have used them before with "import" but I'm not able to link a class directly to symbol in the library.
I have a class c:/myfolder/src/myclass.as . In prefernces > AS3 settings, I have c:/myfolder/ as default classpath. I click linkage on the symbol and enter src.myclass . When I click the checkmark, it says 'class not found'. I am able to do: *import src.myclass; and attach the class to an instance on th stage. That works fine, but thats not what I need to do.
I'm working on CS4 / Windows 7. I recently moved from XP where everything worked fine. My problem is that compiling any movie now takes about 40 seconds longer than before. I have been able to narrow down the issue to this. There is folder in my classpath which is on a local network. It is this folder that is causing the issue. Plus, even if this folder is not required at all to compile the movie it slows it down anyway. As soon as that folder is removed from my classpath everything works as it should -- of course, for movies which don't require that folder to compile :-) --. Having said that removing the folder or changing its location is not the solution I'm looking for.
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if I'm the only one with this error. Is it a quirk or a feature? Should it be reported to Adobe as a bug?I found this out (after a while of frustration) that whenever I have a class in the root folder of the global classpath (or even in the same folder as the FLA, just not arranged into a package), even if I use an "import" statement for a "packaged" class with the same name, the compiler will still fetch and use the "global" class definition.[code]

I'm teaching myself actionScript 3.I'm having some difficulty knowing which packages / classes to import from the flash core.I'm still a little shaky on the terminology but I mean these statements at the start of the main AS file.
import flash.display.Sprite;
Are there any good references / cheatsheets that describe what each flash.example.example provides? At least for commonly used packages.
I would like to use the ActionScript 3 Core Library (in order to use the JPEGEncoder functions it includes) that you can download in here[url]...
but I've seen no information on how to install it. Does anybody know how to integrate this library into Adobe Flash CS3/4?
I know it is intended for flex ... but what does that mean ... can I use it in flash ... if not, why not ...
but more importantly: all of the mx classes, spark classes, flashx classes ... why are they NOT for flash? pixels are pixels, matrices are matrices, 0's are 0's, 1's are 1's.
I have a components and classes project library. Within the library, flex builder only seems to display content/code assist options for top level classes (e.g. arguments, Array) but not other classes such as VBox. Also, within the non top level classes, class properties are not provided by content assist.
View 2 RepliesFirst of all I take it it's alright to start developing for 10.1 - is it out of beta? So, core animation used bt iphone/ipad with it's underlying c language etc. How can we use this for AIR android development - any tutorials/blogs - googled it and nothing comes up even on the adobe site. This is supposed to be a revolution so where's the info hiding???
View 9 RepliesThis is giving me major headaches! I'm having trouble even describing the problem in words. Basically, I want to be able to manage a core library (coreLib) of Actionscript classes with the following requirements: latest version is checked out when a new project starts. a dev can make changes to the coreLib and then commit them back into the repo as project is written (maybe bug-fixes, added features, etc.) the project contains a 'snapshot' of the coreLib so that, if returned to months later, it (as automatically as possible) has a copy of the coreLib that has guaranteed compatibility with the project.
I tried using externals but this can break compatibility going backwards. I'm currently exporting the coreLib into the project and its VC'd along with the project. I can't figure out how to get the changes back into the repo though, without just copying over the top and losing history.
I'm developing a p2p mutliplayer game using adobe rtmfp server on facebook using flex 4. I have box2d for physics engine and the hardware acceleration is on. In 60fps, Average cpu cost for 6 players room is %40 for 1.86mhz intel core 2 duo. But in 8 and more players rooms, the cpu usage increases to %50 and fps drops to 50. I'm guessing that flash player uses only 1 core in full performance and resting the other. However I need all cores for 8+ rooms to simulate 60 fps smooth game. Is there a way to make flash use multiple cores at once?

I know this is a flex package. I download flex sdk 3 and 4.

If I create a Flex Library project, am I able to use Flex classes from within the library?
The reason I ask is because I'm working in a Flex Library project and trying to use the mx.rpc.soap package. I can import the the package without an issue, and even get code hinting making me think the package is available. Of course I can even see the swcs included in the project. However, when I try to instantiate the WebService class, I get an error when building. Flash Buidler IDE doesn't tell me what the error is, and I don't go into debug mode when I continue with building. I haven't tried connecting to the service yet, just importing the Class and creating a new instance.
I worked out a way to call a function whose name is in a String variable. That is:
function myFunction()
{

Is mx.core.* something in the flex sdk / framework? I am trying to get the unserializer from [URL] to work with flash CS4, and I am getting the compiler error: 1004: Namespace was not found or is not a compile-time constant. The lines called out in the package are: use namespace mx_internal and mx_internal static var c:uint;
I don't know the first thing about namespaces, but does anyone know how to get this package/class working in CS4 AS3? It might be something simple I am missing. I have attached the .as package file (uploaded as a txt file) if anyone wants a look... I am having to get a lot of lists from a mySQL database and it is becoming a real pain urlencoding them all manually. If I could just urlencode(serialize($result)); in php and send that file to AS3 to be decode it would be so much simpler.
I have failed in generating core.I have added a line "ulimit -c unlimited" in server's start function. I killed the fmsedge process by "killall -6 fmsedge". The process do be killed but no core. file is seen in /opt/adobe/fms finally.
