I'm in the process of planning a banner project, where I want to being able to output all banner formats (about 10+ of them) from the same flex project. They will all contain pretty much the same content but with some variation, and because of the size limit I want to load only the necessary assets for each format.
I wonder if there's a way to dynamically load different assets (in form of swf or swc) depending on some setting? I can of course load different swf:s into the main swf but I want only one swf per format. How about launch configurations, is there a way to choose different swc:s there?
I am trying to develop a simple game for kids in which an Alphabet will be spoken and the kid will have to choose the correct alphabet being displayed on the screen. What I have tried to do is that I have saved each of the sound in a seperate movieclip.
how can I develop the code that randomly choose a movieclip to play the sound and then when the kid click on the correct alphabet, it adds the point and if wrong alphabet is clicked, it gives error.
Lets say you have a bunch of similar movieclips and you want to move anyone of them dynamically. We would use:
[Code]...
Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.
I have a problem with dragging movieclip which is dynamically generated via attaching movieclip from library.I want to move the movieclip by pressing the yellow square within a boundary say 100*4. I am attaching the flash file with this thread.
I want to apply actions to a movieClip nested inside a dynamicly attached movieClip, with the attachMovie method; it doesn't works when the movieClip is attached by a button:
1.when the swf movie loads with an attachMovie method the remove_btn clears the window_mc
I want access MovieClips Dynamically from the external flash file.There are 5 MovieClips named Loader_1_mc, Loader_2_mc,.Loader_5_mc like so. Each of this movieClip contain 5 movieClips by named acc_1,acc_2, acc_5 like.How Can I access From the swf file. i tried few steps within nested loop.[code]
In part of my actionscript i'm using: thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); to create a seperate movieclips for ewach image in my xml file. How would I then attach another movieclip to each of the newly created ones? ie thumbnail_mc.t0, thumbnail_mc.t1, thumbnail_mc.t2... is there a way to do it automaticall7y or do i have to assign it to each one individually? "thumbnail_mc.t"+k.attachMovie obviously doesn't work
I've downloaded the latest version of Air (3.1 now), but I can't choose it as my player in CS5.5. Is there something specific I'm supposed to do so I can access it? I assume I can also import the Air 3 libraries into flash builder as well, right?
I am planning to develop a facebook application which uses iframe concept, it involves some rich UI and image manipulation, I am new to html5 but aware of flex
I'm trying to change the font in my menu's dynamic textfields using xml data. I can already change the color but can not figure out how to change the font. Here's what I'm using to change the colors, and this format is what I'm trying to achieve with the fonts also.
I have a video business and my website has a lot of video examples. I wanted to show some image quality as well as a decent frame size for viewing. The video files were encoded in AME at vbr 775kbps (max of 1100kbps) with a frame size of 720x405. Do you think these bitrate settings are acceptable for internet speeds today?
I've just started experimenting with RSS in Flash - so far I am able to pull a feed in, but what I want to try now is to actually separate values from within a feed to go to different movie clips. So let's say my feed looks like this:
What I'm trying to do is have a few bubbles of boxes etc floating everywhere where you can click one and it shows a different (or random) <item> from the feed (with the relevant item child values inside). I've looked at creating nodes etc but it seems to only create to pulling the first one with that specific name, instead of choosing from the whole array.
I'm starting flash and already familiar with some of the basics (movie clips, coloring them, adding them on stage, events).And while I read a book to follow, and see tutorials here and there, I kinda follow the "learn as you go" approach.I think the most challenging part here is the scroller to choose colors. I already tried to look for online tutorials but I guess my google terms were simply weak and inaccurate.
HTTPService has a property resultFormat which can be set to any of the following: array e4x flashvars object text xml .I looked at the documentation to understand the difference, but still couldn't understand when to use each. I'm looking for the lightest weight of all of them.
P.S. I'm consuming output from my own server, so can change the output format as needed to make it compatible with each.
Imagine we have an object dispatching some event and this object should perform some action on this event. What's the right way of catching this event? May I listen to this event directly in my object or should I let this event travel through EventMap? Example: I have a popup window with form. On submitting form, I'm going to send a request to remote server and close this popup. Is it ideologically correct to perform popup close on click without dispatching custom event to EventMap?
So. Basically I'm trying to create a news-ticker that feeds of an XML-page that I don't have control over. It rolls horizontally across the screen. (Eventually...)
I'm able to access the different parts of the XML and insert them, but only one kind at the time.
The XML is build with several nodes called 'program' like this[code]...
ok in theory this sounds brutally easy. Just can't make it fire. On my stage I have an atm movieclip called "atm". In it I have 8 buttons l1-l4 and r1-r4. I add and remove functions based upon what is on the screen. So on the third screen I want when I hit l1 for a dynamic text box to display "20". So my thought is, place the dynamic textbox where I need it, create the instance name, and where it needs to come up use this line of code:
cashdispense.text == "20";
well the box remains blank. I've posted all my code if it makes things easier to understand.
I have recently been using Charles the debugging app. And noticed a very chatty app named skyrocket (a very very cool slide presentation app) sending a lot of data across the wire. It is built in flex by the looks and I was wondering why they had chosen to send their data using base64 and not amf. Is it because they don't want to be locked into the flash platform? Or could there be another reason. Is it to store it as XML in the database as they don't want to be dealing with amf when handing data to other services/clients (iPhone etc).
I am builder a graph that is going to cover an entire month. The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways. So is there a way to maybe make the DateChooser date always the first and only allow the user to pick the month and year?
I need to have a data field that the user will enter in a zip code, hit submit, and have a specific movie clip load, based on their entry. There aren't different movie clips for every single zip, but there will be 20 or so different clips that would load, based on whether or not that zip falls within a certain group. For instance, if someone enters in a zip for Washington DC, I would need to load a clip that shows that general area ... DC, VA and MD.
I am creating a a small site with a spinning menu but I want it to spin only in onedirection ( clockwise) and around the centre of the 3 point cross I am using as a menu.I have this currently to rotate the menu but I want it to only rotate on way and around centre.
