I feel stupid to even ask this question...but how do I get started with AlivePDF? I have downloaded the .zip-file and extracted the files, but what to do next?? I have a .fla-file I want to conect it to.
View 3 RepliesI downloaded AlivePDF 0.1.4.8 and 0.1.4.9 from the their site. However, I am having difficulty implement it in CS3 or CS4. The SWC file just won't show as others do.
View 1 RepliesI have AlivePDF with Flex, making a webapp. I've got version 1.5 of AlivePDF but can't seem to set the font:
myPDF.setFont( FontFamily.ARIAL, Style.BOLD );
this gives an error of "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type int." Am I doing it wrong?
Create tables with AlivePDF?
View 3 RepliesI am wrapping my head around AlivePDF. I can't seem to find an aswer to this question. Can I add a movieclip as the data to include inside the page? I have it so that the PDF generates text from specific text fields, but I want it to show "mainContent_mc" to the page. I am building this as an AIR app (apperantly you can't do this from an EXE file published from Flash).

View 2 RepliesI'm testing alivePDF 0.1.5 and till now everything's been fine. I'm super interested in the new function writeFlashHTMLText() cause it makes my life so much easier! xD I'm now trying to display the generated pdf in a browser tab/window instead of just saving the file (using the filereference class' save function). I saw that there was a PDF.save() function that allowed that specifying the argument Download.INLINE. However I don't want to use the save function of the pdf class cause I don't want to use a script.

Been trying to crack adding images to a pdf using AlivePDF 0.1.4.9 for a week or two now. Creating the pdf and adding text was straight forward and easy to do. How ever adding an image has managed to illude us. I have included our code below. We have also tried the addImage() method without success as well. Our code builds perfectly but produces a blank pdf that opens and says An error has occurred on this page
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;

I'm looking for ways to solve this. I need to save a pdf to server. All the searches brought me to either file being downloaded or being saved locally. Is there a way to use alivepdf to save on server folder?

View 3 Repliesadding the grid to a pdf with some other elements on there as well.text is not showing up in some cases. I've tested myself silly on the computers i own but there doesnt seem to be a problem.However, the person i made this for keeps saying text doesnt show up. I've seen the results of his instance of this tool and the keen, trained eye suggests that every row gets stretched out to the bottom (and beyond) of the page. A select all copy paste into plain text app suggests there is no text in the pdf (except for the text that IS showing up)

I am looking for a solution through which I can print the pdf without using any server side technology.
So I'm using AlivePDF to generate a 6 page PDF with a range of text and graphics. It's a fairly large PDF, prob 4mb when saved. I need to be able to pass the PDF along with a few other variables to a PHP script that uploads the PDF and then sends an email.
Because I need to pass the PDF data along with other information, I've been using a standard POST request with URLVariables, only I Base64 encode the PDF ByteArray before sending to avoid any sort of corrupt data. This works fine, except the Base64 encode operation takes ~8 seconds, and sometimes longer on a slower machine, causing a timeout.
I have no idea where to get started with Flash. Could someone point me in the right direction? I've found a lot of websites with mini-tutorials, but I can't find out anything about compilers or beginners guides or anything.

View 2 RepliesI am a web designer and have worked with html, php, javascript and css.I want to try something new and that is have a homepage as flash, on this flash page there will be pictures say like sport, clicking on this sport picture will bring the visitor to the ("normal html") sport page. I may have a few other categories like this.Here is a link to something like what I would like to achieve: URL...I would just like to have something like the above link, of course without all the "About" Contact pages etc, just the center part of the page, with the sport and other links.My question is how do I go about making something like this in adobe flash?
View 1 RepliesI would like to learn a bit about using actionscript. I currently know zero about flash and such, so I kind of want to learn a bit so I am not so lost when it comes to this subject. Could someone post some really simple tutorials on how to get started. Something as simple as a Hello World would be fine. At this moment I don't even know the difference between Actionscript and flash.
View 6 RepliesWhile we have a dedicated AS3 forum, we know that a lot of Flex 2 users will cross back and forth across forums because while Flex's core scripting is MXML, it fully supports AS3 as well so it's confusing sometimes what forum to post in and who is best suited to offer help. A lot of topics have been covered in the last 6-8 months at a lot of the more well known guru sites and popular blogs and as we get going we will link up anything that might be of use to users in here.Url...
View 7 RepliesI have a movie clip which is brought on to the stage by a tween function called introTween. After the introTween has finished, it has an eventhandler inside it which calls on 2 new tween functions to start. These are tweenX function which contains the myTweenX tween and tweenY function which contains the myTweenY tween. these functions loop round to keep the movie clip floating along the bottom of the stage. The movie clip can be dragged by the user. The problem I have is that when the user drags the movie clip during the introTween the dragIt function is called (see below) and when called its looking to stop the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens. However, because the introTween function hasn't finished, and thus hasn't called the tweenX and tweenY functions...then the dragIt function can't find myTweenX and myTweenY to stop(). how I would go about solving this problem? Is there some sort of IF condition I can put in the dragIt function which looks at whether the tweenX and tweenY functions have started or even the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens have started?

I am building a new website, which you can see at [URL] The first bit I want to add is an area where business owners can list their business' information, such as the address or contact information. They should also be able to login later to change the information. I assume this will need some sort of database, but don't know where to begin looking.
Second, I wish to add a map that highlights the locations of these businesses.
I want to create flash website, with flex, but i don't really know how it works so can you make it clear for me.
1) First of all i want to know how URL is working with flash, because every time i load new URL will flash website be reloaded? How to solve this problem, if it is problem?
2)I want to use "Swfobject" with my flash website so this website will be Search Engines friendly and does this mean that i can easily use Adsense or Adbrite in my website?
I think it's time I tried making a Flash project where multiple visitors to a website interact with one another. (I think this is called remoting, but I'm really not sure.) I'm currently deep into AS3, but would like to know how to implement an online multiplayer (or multi-user, I guess) system in both AS3 and AS2.
Where's a good place to get started? In particular, what online resources are available for someone interested in these technologies? And how do I test what I create- preferably, on one machine?

View 6 RepliesWhat is the shortest path between zero (ie no flash related development software on my computer or information about where to obtain it or get started) to running a "hello world" ActionScript? I'm hoping for an answer that gives step by step instructions about exactly what software is needed to get started, an example of some "hello world" code, and instructions for compiling and running the code. I've spent more time than I think should be necessary researching this question and not found much information. Hopefully this question will be found by programmers like me who want to get started with Flash/Flex/ActionScript (After my morning of researching I still don't even know what terminology to use so I'll just throw it all out there).

I'm writing to create a type of blog app that I can keep personal notes in. Ideally, I'd like to be able to open up a form that automatically sticks the date and time in, and allows me to enter a subject and message.When I submit the post, it is written to a local xml file. Once it's been written however, I want the a numeric list to be generated in flash of all the posts within a specified month. I know this is kind of a huge project, but I just don't even know where to start.
