I know that all the cool animations are created in Flash (the program) unfortunately, I am not very good with it. However I like flash builder, because you can use a markup language and because it is better optimized for large projects.
Can you create animations that are as good in flash builder?
I am an actionscript developer and I know nothing when it comes to mxml. recently switched to using flash builder and I really like it but I want to create an AIR application in flash builder but I don't want to use mxml since I don't need any of the built in framework to accomplish my goal.Is that possible? If I have to use mxml to start the application how do I use .as files with .mxml files?

View 4 RepliesHow can I set up a project in Flash Builder for creating a collection of classes that is not an application by itself? When creating an Actionscript project it forces having a main application file, as well as sets up the whole bin-debug folder and such.
For instance, if you wanted to start coding something like Tweener, Papervision, or some other set of classes that doesn't publish to an application, how would you set up the project in Flash Builder?
I am trying to create a query from Flash Builder to PHP/mySQL with selectedItems. I have a simple SELECT query set up to populate a datagrid of items I would like to select for main query (two records looks something like this "19 10","20 10"). This is where I get stuck. I don't know if I need to break down the selectedItems in Flash Builder for formatting in SQL or if I can do it in PHP.
I would assume that it should be done in Flash Builder and I would then send the partial SQL statement to PHP. As of right now, Flash Builder is holding the selected values as CustomObjects and I unsure of how to retrieve what is in the objects for formatting.
var arr:Array = dataGrid.SelectedItems
This yields an array of CustomObjets and I lost from there.I will need the resulting SQL statement would need to look something like this.
SELECT *
FROM Stats
WHERE neu IN ('19 10','20 10');
Is it even possible? Working with just AS3 files in FB4, can I just somehow attach a new Scene object to the root scene?

Am I able to publish a Windows/Macintosh projector from Flash Builder 4? I would like a solution that stays within the IDE, rather than having to open FlashPlayer.exe and export the EXE/App.

Does anybody know how to create a layer in actionscript?
How do you attach these layers to your stage?
Does anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
I hope this isn't too vague, but I'm stuck on a problem that has put me in an Unfortunate Position. I'm Flash developer getting my feet wet with with AS3 and am trying to build an interior decoration tool for a client. My thinking so far has been: create the basic user interface, get the screen flow down, and then finally use a couple of simple arrays to store user selections and stuff like that.
Naturally my 'couple of simple arrays' is totally inadequate to model the many user decisions that my program has to take into account. So I find myself trying to create an enormous, multi-dimensional array with several layers of nesting and before Panic sets in. Here's an example of my thinking for the 'bedding' component of the application in pseudo ActionScript:
[Code]....
... keep in mind that this is just a fraction of what goes into bedding and there are several other of these kinds of arrays that would go into a room like flooring and walls and funture... all equally complex. And I'll need to frequently access different combinations like, how many options under bedding have no value associated and things like that.
So, I realize I'm out of my league and am going to get hurt on this,My questions are:
1) Could it be that using nested arrays like this actually isn't such a bad thing and I should just stick it out? That would suprise me, but I want to make sure I'm not already on the right path.
2) If not, where do I go from here if I want to do this right?
Off the top of my head I feel like I could maybe make everything class based. So my sheets are a class and beds have instances of sheets and rooms have instances of beds... etc. It think it would be complicated but might be the way to go. Or maybe, I go the XML route and store all of the room options in nested blank XML nodes that a user then populates as they move through the application. These are my thoughts but I'd like to hear what more experienced members of the community say.
I'd like to build image slider like Nivo slider with Adobe Flash Builder.
i'd like to have image controls, image titles displayed above the image(like layers in flash). i'd like to read the data from xml.
i'd like to have nice transitions between images.
mayebe u can provide tutorial or source code.
I have an AIR project that I was working on Flash Builder 4.5 which now I'm trying to import to my updated Flash Builder 4.5.1 and it is prompting me to fix some paths before the import is completed. I'm kinda clueless what I should put in those fields.

The project access a web server to retrieve data using JSON.
the snow effect always acts like the top layer, ok what i mean is, i have 3 layers, (1)toplayer= a car, (2)middle= snow, (3)low= background.I want to make the snow to be seen behind the car...i hope you understand what i mean , whenever i put the code from the link above it acts as the top layer and appears in front of everything.
View 4 RepliesAs you will see I do not have too much idea about flash. My question is about "builder forms" for flash. I think that a builder form is a form where people/customers fill it up and then there would be a new page in my site according to her/his information.
Example: When you want to sell something on ebay, you will choose different options: name, prices, pictures, categories, etc. Then, according to this on ebay there will be displayed that I would like to do the same, however, I would like to change a flash menu and htm with the option from my form.
I am trying to migrate a project from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash Builder 4.5. After Flash Builder prompts me to choose my new SDK, I choose 4.5, Then I get the following error:" error "The required skin state 'disabledWithPrompt' is missing".

View 1 RepliesIn terms of Flash expertise I am on the the doddering divkid level -- but have mananged to create a custom cursor; a hand that I want to move about over most layers but under one specific layer. Currently, no matter the layer order, when published the cursor image jumps straight to the top.
Is there a property I can imbue in the would-be "top" layer or a way of editing or modifying the custom mouse cursor actionscript that would bring about the desired result?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.
View 4 RepliesI just upgraded to Flash Builder 4 (beta 2) from Flex Builder 3 which I have been using since it came out. Problem: All the projects that were in my workspace from Flex Builder 3 did not carry over into Flash Builder 4 (e.g. in the "Flex Navigator" view if FB3). Flash Builder 4 now uses the .FXP format to manage projects, but Flex Builder 3 did not. Is there an easy way to get all my projects back into Flash Builder 4?
View 2 RepliesMy testing on the Mac side is pointing toward the Behaviors palette as to the culprit in this issue. As soon as I open that palette in my workspace, the ability to double click on a layer name in the Timeline palette stops. I have to right click and select Properties from the popup menu. Resetting my custom workspace does resolve the problem.
