ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Visual Template Of A MovieClips In A .fla File For The Designer To Adjust And Tweak?
May 1, 2009
I'm thinking of creating a visual template of a movieClips in a .fla file for the designer to adjust and tweak. Then in flex builder 3 (actionscript project) I load in that .swf file and use the references to the movieClips to adjust location, size and color of objects... Hope that made sense...
Along those lines... is it possible to grab the graphic information of an entire movieClip? Let's say there's a movieClip with a red 4 pixel line on the top then 2 pixels further down there's a grey rectangle that's 400 pixels high. These were drawn with vectors in the flash environment.

I am making a visual timer using a preloader technique where you create a 100 frame animation and some simple math calculations and gotoAndPlay. I've got it working, but once it starts up, it wont play the frames. Just sits there for a second before the timer hits the first tick, then it goes on fine.
Code:
Select allvar seconds_timer:Timer = new Timer(1000); //One Second Delay.
seconds_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, notifier);
function notifier(event:TimerEvent):void {
var seconds:Number = (seconds_timer.currentCount);
var percent:Number = Math.floor((seconds*100)/speed);
[Code] .....
The speed var is a number that the user sets in the XML config file... I am using this for a slideshow on a client's website. I have a suspicion that the issue is with how I reset the timer and start it again. Is there a better way restart the timer?

The map works with if I use the .html file in my original folder but all the paths are relative and I'm trying to make this work in an ASP.NET MVC project using visual studio. It's rather tough to explain the problem since I don't know what's wrong (no javascript or flash debugger).Here is the code that embeds the ammap:

-to add and remove new sub pages

What is the best way to do this? Where I can find guidance (tutorials or something like that) on building a full-scale, dynamic xml site?

I am still using flash 6.0, the version the school gave me, anyway first of all are there any updates available somewhere? I'm still with the original 6.0000000 version. I am creating a flash quiz using the templates available, it's really easy and everything is going well. However, is there a way to redirect the user (getURL) if he has a percentage of say, 80% or higher?

I have some AS which loops through a section of XML and creates an MC for each entry. I now need to add some text (from the XML) and a dotted line to each MC. Which I'm not sure how to do with AS. So I think it would be easier if I created the 'template' MC on the timeline (or library?) which would then be 'duplicated' as necessary. But how would I do this in AS3?
This is my code at the moment:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<mainXML.images.length(); i++) {
var motionImgMC = new MovieClip(); // create an MC.
motionImgMC.name = "mc_" + i; // give new MC a new instance name
motion.addChild(motionImgMC); // add new MC to featured
motionLoader.addItem(mainXML.images.[i],
motionImgMC, {title:"Images"}); // add image in XML to new MC
// push each mc into an array so you can access them from outside this function
motionImgsArr.push(motionImgMC);
}

If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...

I am looking to have a program developed sush as the virtual designer type program.Where as I can basically upload a photo of an interior or exterior of a home and then choose different materials for the walls or siding,etc.The thing is I am not sure if flash is the program that would handle this sort of thing or if I should be looking somewhere else.There is an example available on my website NJ remodeling contractor.You will see a link to the designer app I am talking about at the top under the latest news.The only problem with this application is that it was suppose to allow me to use my own images and allow my remodeling customers to go on and make changes to their photo.This option is still unavailable so I was looking into just having the application built

I was reading about Flex- JavaScript communication via ExternalInterface.But I had a doubt, it said that the javascript code should be written in the HTML file of the application ? Now which is this HTML file ? Is it the index.template.html file per project or the HTML file created per MXML application ?

I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all of the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's where this code stops working. This code keeps two seperate MovieClips on different layers "physically" connected while dragging one. But as soon as I place the two MovieClips into a new MovieClip "MainClip" -
_global.dragging = 0; someListener = new Object(); someListener.onMouseMove = function () { if (_global.dragging == 1) { diffx = _global.oriX_MC1 - _root.MC1._x; diffy = _global.oriY_MC1 - _root.MC1._y; _root.MC2._x = _global.oriX_MC2-diffx; _root.MC2._y =

I am a homebuilder and I would like to create an exterior visualization tool to help my clients choose thier exterior siding, roofing & brick colors. My on-staff architect can create photo-realistic renderings of our different models. The question is how would I go about substituting materials for different parts of the home. Would I start with a base model with no textures applied and then have each of the textures or colors applied? Would this be acheived using masks?

I used the CS5 Flash templates>sample files>preloader for external file, to create my preloader.The problem is that when the preloader is done and my SWF is loaded, my SWF has already started playing.It is an animation that builds for 200 frames then buttons appear.By the time the SWF appears it has already gotten to the button frame.Depending on connection speed I have caught the animation building.
Here is the preloader action:
var contentLoader:Loader; loadContent("stage002.swf"); function loadContent(url:String):void { contentLoader = new Loader();

I have a Template file I am editing that plays music in the background. I want to shut it off when a Video is loaded so I added a stopAllSounds to the button. Works fine; however, I cannot figure out how to turn it back on again, as the template designer placed the sound file into a button rather than creating a sound Object. Was hoping someone could help me figure out how to restore sounds (I have tried adding Frame Labels to his sound movie/button but it returns me to the opening on the animation.
I have posted the file here if anyone would like to help. If no time for that, is there a simple way to output what is happening when I hit the toggle button, so I can copy that and try it?

To enter static text in Flash, the only measurement option available for the text size is points,while the measurement for"Letter Spacing" appears to be pixels (based on my own observations, can't find documentation to verify this). Can either option be changed so that both options are measuring pixels or point/em units?
For instance in InDesign, the type size is in points and the "Tracking" is 1/000th em (see comment here). Both measurements are based on the same basic unit, while Flash seems to be using two different basic units of measuring.

I have a flash template that I am working on, and have customized it via the XML files. It's an AS3 template. I also have a Flash poll script that I am attempting to integrate into the template. This is where it gets a bit tricky...I have decided to use a modal window (which supports swf files) to open the poll that I am using. If it were as simple as to load the swf file, I would be fine, but the poll also includes XML and PHP files, which I don't know what to do with.
The files included are: preview.swf, preview.fla, the xml file, config.php, edit.php, index.php and then "caurina" and documentation files. What I'm thinking I need to do is include the preview.swf file into my modal window, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest of these files, do they go into a new folder in the main template folder or what?

I was trying to build an application where a designer has created content on the timeline as a sequence of key frames. Each key frame is completely different. When the application is started I choose one of the frames, move the play head to that frame and stop (using gotoAndStop). Next, by referring to symbols in the key frame by name, I use AS3 to allow drag and drop, and I also do some programmatic movement.
The problem is that when I move to a different key frame on the timeline using gotoAndStop, the symbols that were touched by AS3 in the previous frame, even if they are not referenced by the designer's key frame, show up on the stage. It is as though any DisplayObject that I touch with AS3 becomes divorced from the timeline.
how to programatically work with timeline (MovieClip) content that was manually created by a designer. This just seems like it should be a really common use case. It seems that about the only thing I can do safely with the timeline is to move the play head and respond to events (if I don't change the state of DisplayObjects in the timeline). Also, is there any good documentation on how objects get allocated and destroyed when the timeline plays?
