I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.
When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.
I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.Here is the code.
Code:
public function buildTextFields() {
3 columns (I'm calling them TextBlocks)
// so the first is 0;[code]....
A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.

View 5 RepliesThe "Copy Motion as XML" option works fine for classic tweens, but when I use it with a new tween, no keyframes are created.
I'm actually okay with using the actionscript version this time around, but I'd like to know if there is a way to export a newer tween as an XML file, since it's quite a bit cleaner than the actionscript equivilent.
Is it possible to have a symbol, copy it, and change the copy without affecting the other?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use .slice() to copy an Array of Loaders (each with a jpg loaded in it), as follows:
newArray = oldArray.slice();
and it works, but the problem is, any changes I apply to one Array applies to both, as though .slice() had just copied a pointer to the same Array, but I was specifically told that .slice() would not exhibit that pblm. Before I just go back to loading the same images twice, is there something special about Arrays of Loaders or something else I might be missing?
I have animated a slideshow effect where one frame moves out teh way and another moves into framei am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all teh other images in the slideshowthe problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that I did and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever
View 3 RepliesMy situation: I've got 7 frames of animated motion that is exactly the way i want it. I want these 7 frames of motion to loop so it gets to around 300 frames. So rather than doing every frame manually (which takes ages) i went to copy and paste motion.
So i highlight my 7 frames and click 'copy motion'. Then I try pasting them and i get the error mesage (in the attached picture) that nothing is selected. But i've clicked on the 8th frame, the place were i want the motion to begin, but still it says this error message.
So then i insert a new frame on the 8th frame space and paste the motion over the top of the 8th frame, but it misses the first 2 frames of animation (therefore messing eveything up) out and the motion is also wrong on top of that!

I'm trying to work out a better way of doing this animation. I'm working on a project where I need to animate multiple robots picking up parts and dropping them. I've attached a quick demo of the kind of movement I need.At the moment I have a Part MovieClip inside a Robot MovieClip (so it will rotate with the robot) What I can't work out how to do smoothly is, how do I release this Part Movie Clip so I can transfer it to another robot & rotate it following the second robot.I can't seem to copy/paste the Part's last position from the 1st Robot's animation to the 2nd Robot without it changing scale/position. Leaving me to basically position a new copy of the Part MovieClip until it sort of lines up with the old parts and switching between the two in the timeline.

I have made one box that works the way it should, and now I'm about to make several boxes that looks similar (different size/different text though). Is there an easy way to make a copy of the finished textbox, or should I duplicate every object in it to make new ones?

View 17 RepliesI'm having trouble making a copy of objects in AS3 instead of making references.
eg.
var mainMovie:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var copyMovie:MovieClip = mainMovie;
copyMovie.x++;
I don't any calls on copyMovie to edit things on mainMovie. I was reading that I should try implement a clone method on the objects I want to copy. Surely there is an inbuilt way to do this for most objects.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to copy and paste a set of keyframes and frames at the end of the exisiting timeline... maybe several times to extend the timeline. However I've been a bit flumoxed as to how a simple chore like that is done. It does not appear one can copy the frames, then set the cursor at the end and past the frames ahead of cursor, Or do I have to create multiple layers to get the same effect by placeing them end to end down the timeline.
In the included screen shot, I'd like to copy/paste the frames on layer1 on down the time line but still on layer 1. As you can see I've started using layers to create the same effect... but is that really the way to do it?
I've created my own Workspace definition in Flash CS4 with all the windows arranged just the way I like them. How can I copy this Workspace definition to another computer so I can have the same environment to work in? I've looked in the C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS4CommonConfigurationWorkspace folder and all I see are files for the default Workspace definitions (Classic.xml, Designer.xml etc.); unfortunately, I don't see a file for my new definition. Was hoping I could just find an xml file for my new definition and copy it another computer.

View 2 RepliesHow does one select layers then bring them into a new MovieClip with their artwork and functionality etc intact.
I have a load of layers which together form a map with animations that run on it. A static key with a few buttons runs the animations on the map. I need to pan/zoom this map and as such need to package all these layers that form the map up into something that can be referred to in the coding for the pan and zoom functions.
I created a new layer in my timeline, called it MapPanZoom, then went Insert>new>movieClip.
I now need to remove the maps layers from the timeline and into the timeline for the movieClip I just created. How is this done ?
Leaves behind the static key that sits outside of the map, when a button in the key is clicked, I hope to see it run the animation on the map, and have a user able to zoom and pan the map whilst it runs.
I tried selecting the layers then edit>copy, then opening MapPanZoom movieClip from Library and edit>paste, nothing happened. Planned to delete the layers if it had worked out of the original scene1.
