Is there any procedure yet for importing vector formats AutoCad dxf or Adobe Illustrator ai into Flash using Actionscript 3?You can manually import them from the Flash File menu.Seems like there should be a method to dynamically import dxf or ai drawings with Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesMy client is insisting to have the UI of this game portal made in vector and his logic is that: It should look still good once they see it in the full screen mode! There for everything including the logo and buttons and gradients should be made in Illustrator. To my Knowledge that's not true, Browsers do not support vector formats.
View 4 RepliesI've checked on the web, but I can't find an article/explanation on how to import vector graphics from illustrator into Flash.If this isn't possible, how do you go about dynamically importing it (not in the swf)?
View 1 Repliesi've got a few vector images of fruits and breads that i exported as SWF in Illustratorwhen i imported the bread vector file into Flash, for example, the gradient portions of it becomes a fuzzy bitmap while the solid-fill areas are retained as vectors.don't understand why this is happening i've had no prob importing gradient vectors into Flash before, but somehow this lot of gradient vectors are turning into bitmaps instead.
View 3 Repliesthe string from the Autocad DXF file does not compare with the string in my AS3 file even though they are absolutely identical.
As a simple example
private function onComplete():void

myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("Drawing1.dxf"));
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

I am looking for a easy way to convert Autocad polygons to swf files. Is there a converter for that? Or is there an intermediatory format that can be used to convert from polygons to the adobe flash swfs. Each polygon would be a swf file.

View 21 RepliesI've imported two styles of the Trebuchet MS font into the library. One without selecting the 'bold' checkbox in the Library Panel upon importing and the second with the 'bold' checkbox selected.If I look in the font list of the property panel I now see the two embedded fonts (with asterisks behind their names):
Trebuchet MS Regular*
Trebuchet MS Bold*
The first textfield uses Trebuchet MS Regular* and off course shows the text in plain style.The second uses Trebuchet MS Bold* and I would expect the text to turn immediately bold, but it is still in regular style when I select Trebuchet MS Bold*. In both cases (Trebuchet MS Regular* and Trebuchet MS Bold*) I would have to select 'B' in the properties panel to make the text bold. Which in the second case seems a bit too much to me. Why still have to click 'B' when I already have Trebuchet MS Bold* selected?
Too make it more weird: I could also import Trebuchet MS with Italic selected, choose Trebuchet MS Italic* (which would make the text 'regular' at first) and click 'B' to also make the text bold. why Flash works this way with imported fonts?(I know I should/could use TextFormat, but I'm curious about this other approach and why Flash works this unlogical way with embedded fonts)
I am using Adobe flash CS3 and working with it using ActionScript 3.0.I need code (or) procedure for developing an application in such a way that, When I click on a button present on the stage, I should get execute an HTML file(say,Hello.html) which is present in the local hard-disk in the same folder as with the flash file.

I have made a class that Pops-up a window that contains a panel with a textbox and two buttons, one for accepting, other for cancelling. It should work as a prompt in which you enter some text, and then if you like the changes, you accept, else, you cancel and the text you entered is discarded.
The thing I'm not sure how to handle is how to receive the text, once the user presses 'Accept', from the class I want to receive it from.
So, the approach I took is a bit cumbersome: firstly, when launching the popup, I associate with it a function (called onResult() in the code) from the 'class that launches', which will be called after the user presses the 'Accept' or 'Cancel' buttons; secondly, to get the text that the user inserted in the box, I keep a reference to it public from my class.
have a look at the code here: [URL]
I've also programmed in Android before, and the approach there would be much cleanier, just putting the text result from the popup inside a bundle inside an intent, and receiving it from the launched class. Here, I have to pass functions and such, which I don't like at all (although it works!).
[code]I added MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER event listener to the 'back' sprite, but it doesn't get called, because the 'text' element is in front of it.I want to keep the event firing only when mouse is over the 'back', so I can't add eventlistener to the 'btn'.I could put some transparenet duplicate of 'back' in front of the 'text' and add listener there, but I believe there should be a more elegant solution.Maybe there is some way to exclude an element from the whole capture/bubble event procedure?

I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.
I am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?

(1) Flash can only play FLV files? Can you get it to play Movs, Avis, Mpegs... Can I some how put in codecs for them?
(2) Can people easily get their movies to FLV format? Is this an issue for people?
I don't want to make it complicated for them to put things on my site. I would like them to be able to upload movies with ease and obviously not make things too complicated for them. I want to make it as user friendly as possible.

I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4. According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, [URL] available formts include EPS and AI. As far as AI is concerned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear. If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page. As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP. My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.

Is there an easy way to improve that code so that it wouldn't matter if there is logo.swf, logo.png or logo.jpg as long as one of those files exists in right place? I just would like to give my clients change to use other formats than SWF if they like, because some of them doesn't have flash or any other software with SWF exporting capability. all of them have Photoshop or some other Image software....

I've been pondering the various ways in which video's can be used in flash, and how to use these methods to produce on different formats.The company I work for, creates multimedia presentations on CD. These are designed primarily in flash, the presentation houses a video that plays from start to finish, coinciding with slides that appear 'on cue' with the various slides. the presentation controls also offer the user the ability to skip through the presentation.Now we upload these presentations to our testing site so the speaker in question can see and check the presentation, giving feedback on changes to slide order or skip positions and so on... After the go-ahead the presentation is then burned to CD and mass produced from here url...
1. When uploading these presentations to the net, when the user starts playing the video, but wants to skip onto a later question, say 'question 10'... there is a delay in which the video stops and then plays several seconds later (often MANY seconds later) I did some looking into this, am I right in thinking that using 'FlashServer technology' will solve this problem? I am presuming the timeline cannot skip directly to this part of the video and begin buffering from here on a standard FLV?
2. When burned to a CD, there is still a 'pause' when skipping to different parts of the video (using FLV), although the delay is not as long as that of the online version, it still presents itself as a problem in my own eyes, when skipping from 'question 1' to 'question 9' were still waiting several seconds for the buffer to catch up... Is there a work around for this to make the skips more instantaneous? like like a dvd/cd skip? Perhaps and embedded video setup?
Is it possible to ease video playback, so thats not directly stopped but slowly stops playing.
or image sequence thats also an option
