ActionScript 3.0 :: Declare A Filter And Use It Globally?
Aug 5, 2009
I have a flash project that involves using glow filters on several mcs all over the site, the problem is, the current way I'm doing it requires me to declare and assign the filter on every MC's container.
Is there a way where I can just declare the glow filter once on the maintime line, and then simply apply the filter on the MCs where needed?
this is what I use for every MC, and it's really tedious and hard to keep track of/change.
Code:
var Glow1:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
Glow1.color = 0xFFFFFF;
Glow1.inner = false;
[Code]...

I am working with URLLoader and URLRequest in this case.
I have two buttons. One listens for the mouse click event and then runs the following function (less code not applicable to this question):
function loadURL (e:MouseEvent):void {
....
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("*URL*");
myRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
[Code]....
The other button, when clicked, calls another function, say resetAll, that then resets the "session" by clearing out all the current variables and canceling anything currently in progress. Within that function I want to call myLoader.close(myRequest); but myLoader is not accessible from within resetAll.
In this case, should I declare var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("*URL*"); and var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); outside of the function even if I do not need them yet?

To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

I want to know how to write "Intercepting Filter Pattern" like Java's servlet filter in Flex.
And I want to insert it into the classes which have a role of server communicating.

For examples sake, say I have an 'Icon' class. When you set Icon's 'name' variable, it downloads the image (of the given name) from a server/directory.
The problem however, is that even though the name (of the image) is provided, the name of the server, or even the folder containing the image is not.
Of course, I could explicitly define the full name and location of the file to the class, but if I ever decide to change folder structure I would have to go through and find all references to the folder and change it. It also seems wrong to litter all of my parent classes with arbitrary URL's to feed to the Icon class.
The preference of course would be to 'globally request' the image server/directory on instantiation, but in the world of OOP how is this best achieved?
I was just about to have the Icon class dispatch a bubbling event, letting something at the end of the displayList catch the event/request and feed it the information (a String) it was looking for, but it didn't feel right. It feels like dispatchEvent should only be used to Dispatch Events, not request a string...
Also, I've come up to similar situations where I've needed a similar request structure without being an extension of EventDispatcher (such as just a primitive Object). Is there a best practice for both?

I'm trying to control different sound attached in different frame. I want a button to turn on/off different sounds separately and globally. I mean after I've press one button in, let's say, Frame 1, it can turn off/on one sound attached in Frame 2 but another sound is not affected.
Right now, I've create 2 buttons for each sound to turn on/off the sounds sounds by setVolume() but I can work only when I entered that frame and press button in the frame. If I've press the button in Frame 1 and go to Frame 2, it did not take effect.
Here is my code for attaching different sounds in Frame 2:
Code:
infoSound = new Sound(infoSoundMc);
infoSound.attachSound("info");
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
Is there any other command to turn on/off sound besides setVolume()?

Do I need to use addCallback() somehow to trigger this through javascript?

Is it possible to limit globally the bandwidth usage of FMS 3.5 ? I don't want FMS to use all the bandwidth available via our ISP.I want my coworkers and other servers to be able to continue using Internet while sending/receiving data from/to FMS. I know it is possible to limit various bandwidths per Applications, but it seems there is no easy way - using the xml config files - to globally limit the server bandwidth.

I have a project in ActionScript 3, Flash Professional CS5.5, and AIR 3. I have several custom classes that I need to access. Currently, I am successfully accessing via the traditional method:
import trailcrest.core.core;
var Core:core = new core();
However, I came to a realization in my code...this creates a COPY of the class, and doesn't give access to the original. This, of course is a problem - I need one symbol's scripts to modify a variable in the class, and another symbol's scripts access that changed variable. Obviously, right now, that is not occurring.How do I do what I am describing? Should I somehow create a "public var" for the class (though I need instructions on how to do that...I can't use "public var" within stages or symbols)? Is there some way to directly access the class?

In my project, several textField mclips are created dynamically. These mclips pull their content from an XML from.
The text is formatting partially using TextFormat, but I have been unsuccessful setting the font family.
I think this is because the content is dynamic and called from the XML.
In any case, I then tried to set the font family using mx.styles, but also with no luck:
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
var text_style:Object = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.myStyle = text_style;

I have defined Variables at the start of my script, with _root, to make them valid globally.
Then, in several functions and IF loops, I change the values of these variables, again referencing them with _root.
Then at the end of my script, I want to collect these global variables and send them to a PHP file to late store them in a db.
The problem is that at the end of my script, the variables do not contain any data, I used trace() to test this.
They only seem to contain values inside the IF loops which would mean they are behaving as local variables only?
I also tried replacing _root with _global but got the same results.
I have over 1000 lines of code at the moment so I will only post a snippet here of the general method I used, perhaps some experienced users will spot what I am doing wrong[code]...

I saw this question a few times here and there but it never had a satisfying answer... It may be that there really is no elegant way to solve this (Polling for change in ENTER_FRAME is really bad!) but I've got to ask one last time.
I'm a Flex developer but it doesn't really matter in this case.
I would like to know when an object's global x/y was modified (or its transform's concatenated matrix's tx/ty, same thing), maybe because an indirect parent somewhere moved, etc.In particular, I have the object's gran gran gran parent which gets its scrollrect changed.

I created a custom class (no arguments needed for constructor) and I wanted to create an instance of that class that can be accessed by AS from aywhere inside the SWF (i.e. globally from any function or class).So far the only way I can think of doing that is to create the custom class with an associated MovieClip Symbol, drag an instance of that MovieClip Symbol to the stage, and then give it an instance name. It seems like I can then use the instance name to access that class instance anywhere.

The following bit of code outputs that 'myRequest' and 'i' are not defined.
Code:
//Load external asset
function loadfail():void
{
[Code].....
after a bit of reading I find that it is because 'myRequest' and 'i' are defined within functions, and so those variables are not available outside those functions. How can I get around this? Make a class?

My goal is to remove all hover feedback from the UI. The motivation is for testing touch interface prototypes and not wanting users to have the queue of interactivity when the mouse hovers which they won't have with a touch interface.
I have a partial solution but it has two problems:
Requires an event handler on each component. Flickers on hover.
protected function ui_suppressHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var b = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;

I am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;
