I recently inherited a couple projects with half a dozen or more custom classes each. Is there a way to search across all .AS files in a project at once? It is a real drag to open and search each file one at a time.
View 3 Replieswonder if someone could point me in the right direction on how to search a string for an email address, then change its color and make it clickable ex var str:String = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, email@email.com consectetur adipiscing elit." output> "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, email@email.com consectetur adipiscing elit."

View 1 RepliesI am doing a video library. Each category has it's own XML files that feeds it data. Everything works great.However, when I Exported the Release Build. I noticed those XML files are gone(i.e. never got exported). I don't understand why. I need the video library to be dynamic so I can add or remove videos.Anyone know why those files are not exported along with the rest of the project. Like a setting in the preference that I need to fix?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make the project build light by removing all the unused (mxml,xml and image ) files. Currently I am manually searching for each image and then removing the unused file. But is there a way such that we can get list of unused files automatically . I was trying to use the swfDump.jar from 4.0 sdk . But that dint work as it is working with projects that are build using flex sdk 4.0. I am currently using 3.2 .

View 1 RepliesI'm working on an image gallery in Flash that plays a slideshow of different images I have on my hard drive. I've got the basics of it working, but I'm still stuck on something. If my images are in the same folder as the Flash project file or a sub-folder of it, then it works fine. However, I can't figure out how to load images from some other folder. In my case, the Flash project is located at "~/Programming/Flash/Projects/slideshow/" and the images I want to load are at "~/Pictures/Gallery/". Using a normal path didn't work so I figured I could access them with a file:// path, but that doesn't work either gives me "Error #2035: URL Not Found"). Is there a specific way you have to format the file path in Flash, or is it just not possible?
View 3 RepliesMy company is working on a casual game which is entirely made in Flash. To speed up development/compile time we split some of it up into SWC files, for example dialog controls, cutscenes, particle effects are all controlled via SWC files. This was working great up until a few days ago, we have been working on this project for about 8 months with no major problems. However, now all of a sudden, when we compile the game, none of the SWC files work. The game compiles and runs ok, but nothing from the SWC files are working.
The strange thing is that if we remove one of the SWC files from the folder (the game reads all the SWC files from one folder) then the game will work. Even if you remove a SWC which isnt immediately used by the game it will still work. It's almost as if there is some limit to how many SWC files you can have loaded. (There are only 10 SWC files in the folder we are loading from).
The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.However,the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files.Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file,or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?I was hoping for something like:
[Embed source="../../audio/wibble.wav" mimeType="audio/wav"]
...but I get no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'.It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime,but that's pretty heavy handed I think. I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data,[Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
I was wondering if there is a website from where I can download free mp3 files to use in my flex project? I am looking for some mp3 files using which I can create simple sound effects (e.g., you press a button, you hear a sound). I read flex can only play mp3 files, not wav files. Is this true? What's the best way to convert wav files to mp3?
View 1 RepliesI've got a Java/Flex project that I'm building using Maven. After doing some research I'm using the Flexmojos project [URL] for the Flex part, and almost everything seems to work fine so far (after a bit of struggling). I'm using version 4.0-alpha-5 (4.0-SNAPSHOT didn't seem to work for me).The Flex projects isn't recognized by Eclipse as Flex projects though. If I manually change the .project file and add .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties files, Eclipse seems to recognize the projects as Flex projects.
View 4 RepliesI have a question that's so trivial and obvious that I can't beieve it hasn't been asked and answered hundreds of times. Yet, I can't find an answer.Is it possible to do a "search & replace" across all the .as class files in an application?

View 2 Replies I just wanted to ask:
1) Is there a way to add swc files after the project is created
2) And is there a way to link some of assets in those swc to classes (for example link a ball asset to a class the implements its functionality. You can do that directly from flash pro CS5.5, but is there a way to do it in flash builder)
I need to make a preloader for a test project that is very diffirent and a little bit off-beat as it uses script that I have prostetuted from a variety of diffirent files, see[URL].. might take a while to load as it has no preloader and please note how it does load...), it scrolls the actual content of the site along the x axis in multiple speeds by using the following script 4 times for each layer/speed of content:

Iam trying to create a preloader for my XML files loading to my project. This tutorail is working fine. but only for one file. I need to create one preloader for all my XML files(6 XML files loading in the first frame.)

I'm now working on multiple config files(about 16 .txt form files) in a actionscript 3.0 project. I think it is not good to load so many files. maybe I should package them into a swf(But I do not know how to do this) or do sth else.
View 3 RepliesI imported an .fxp project into a Flash Builder and then observed there are 5 .mxml files in the src/(default package) directory. Silly question -- how to run each of these five files?
Since I've named the project differently than any of the .mxml files, whenever I try to run something it uses the default (empty) .mxml file named after the project. Deleting that empty mxml file didn't help anything. I also tried to clean the project, but nothing changes (although I see the directories refresh with the same contents). There are no html files in the bin-debug directory.
There must be some simple way to run those .mxml files that I'm missing.

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;

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?
[URL].. lines a lot in our files to set up AS Tweens. Is there a way to import these globally on one frame of ActionScript instead of having to put it in AS for every time an MC is being tweened?

View 9 RepliesI'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()?
