View 1 RepliesI'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.
I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
[Code]...
Is there any way to do that, well bone tool is for AS3 only.. so how would you connect symbols with other symbols?

I can't figure out how to get rid of extra white space in the browser at the top of a swf file. It looks fine when I preview the file, but when I do publish preview in flash/ try to incorporate in HTML, there's an extra 1/4" at top of window.

Is there a file or some code I could make in order to add an extra color or two for syntax highlighting? Like having a certain color for function names and a different one for numbers etc.?
View 1 RepliesI am considering upgrading my copy of Flash Builder to 4.5, and would like a list of the new features in the new version before I commit. I have heard that the ASUnit tests integrate better than previously, and that there are some nice features like quick fixes, is there anything else? Finally, based on your experiences using it, are there any shortcomings to look out for / avoid?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading a Flex 4.5 module (it's a SWF file) using a PHP code like this:
$module = 'modules/'.$_GET['module'].'.swf';
if(!file_exists($module)) {
$module = 'error.swf';
} $size = filesize($module);
$contents = file_get_contents($module);
header('Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
echo $contents;
And it works very well.
Now I want to get some extra data to load and populate the module with that data in just one request handler, something like:
private function requestHandler(response:???):void {
var data:Array = response as Array;
mySparkModuleLoader.load("", data[0] as ByteArray);
myController.load(data[1]);
}
I was trying to do it with AMFPHP but the ByteArray seems to be broken or something because it doesn't show up, but the rest of the data is fine:
return array(
'hello world!',
new Amfphp_Core_Amf_Types_ByteArray(file_get_contents($module))
);
Maybe creating a multipart response like [URL] and handling it?
I have a simple button class. When the button is pushed I'm triggering an event on the parent level. What's the best way to pass a parameter to that upper level event?

Im still relativly new to bringing in xml to flash, but i have read some tutorials and other pages on it. Everything is working fine except for the fact that all the text that isnt an attribute as lots of extra spacing infront of it. I made sure my i set ignoreWhite to true but it still is cuaseing those spaces.

I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic...I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [URL] for my buttons and sprites.If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as 'tooltip.as', how do I use that in my FLA? Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I'm not using 'package' keyword... it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I'm not using a document class.

I am currently maintaing a multi-linual app. It uses LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to populate dynamic fields with text appropriate to the user's current language. It works fine, except in a few cases. Certain Cyrillic characters, as well as certain Latin characters (such as Å‚) appear with an extra space after them. I have not figured out a way around this. I am using embedded fonts, and am embedding all the appropriate characters.
I've tried using different fonts, and I get the same problem with the same characters across all fonts. If I use device fonts, there is no problem, but this would have to be a last resort, since I'd like to have antialiasing, etc available. I have trace()-d the strings and have confirmed that there's no funny business going on with sendAndLoad(); the text is being properly downloaded.
Note that I am using Flash 8 targeting Flash 6, but targeting Flash 8 doesn't fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or a similar one.
Well I have this dynamic textfield on stage, and it receives a String using FileReference.name. So far, so good.
I wanna know if it's able to make flash 'cut' some extra text from long strings and show ellipsis instead.
I mean, if it receives "ABCDEFGHIJ", if the string exceeds the textfield width, it would show "ABCDE..."
I have a Date value and I want to add to that date 30 seconds plus.Example:
Code:
var serverTime:String = auctionFormatServerTime[0]
serverFormatDate = new Date(serverTime);
trace(serverTime) // Thu Mar 10 18:33:48 GMT-0300 2011
I need the following date: Thu Mar 10 18:33:48 GMT-0300 2011 to become:
Thu Mar 10 18:34:18 GMT-0300 2011
This means that the retrieved Date now has 30 more seconds...

View 7 RepliesI've seen people mention they can include .html, .js, etc files with their iOS for AIR publish when making an iOS application from flash.

I'm using flash cs5... I've made a file uploader and it works great, only problem is it makes this textLayout_1.0.0.591.swf file (in addition to my actual swf)... is this really necessary? I have an embedded font that I think is putting this here and the whole thing doesn't work unless this swf is here.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to build a workaround for embedding my (downloaded) flash videoplayer. (it's the JWplayer...)
At the moment, when somebody wants to embed the videoplayer they have to include the swf with all the added flashvars (url...). That's messy, and it feels a bit risky... people who know what they are doing can also just remove the plugin and other added data, resolving in me not being able to track pageviews etc.[code]...
Turns out that, when I use file_get_contents on a regular test file, info.php, that responds through a $_GET['var'], the above stated code works, but when I use it on the flashplayer, it doesn't...
As in: the flash file does not seem to be accepting (or responding to) the added header variables...
I am using CKEditor in my website's CMS, which spits out an XML file of CDATA enclosed content to be read by flash. The problem is that CKEditor, when its enterMode is set to <p> tags, creates a line break and a tab in the source which, when read by flash, enters space, even though I have ignoreWhiteSpace set to true. Any way to prevent ckeditor from using this behavior?
EDIT:
I still want to keep any <p> tags entered from within the editor - I just don't want all the extra space / tabs that get added in the actual source. If I use the above method, my actual code will be modified. What I'm getting if I view the source is this:
<p>
Donec at erat nec tortor sodales tempus.</p>
(an enter, and either a tab or a bunch of space after first <p> tag, instead of:
<p>Donec at erat nec tortor sodales tempus.</p>
(no spaces or breaks after <p> tag in source and I believe this is affecting the presentation of the XML.
I have a List which uses a an arrayCollection as dataprovider and an itemRenderer to display some things but how can i pass an extra variable to this itemRenderer?
