I'm trying to find an all-in-one IDE for flash, one that can deal with various flash related files. I just read this answer and it recommends fdt, but seems fdt can only deal with scripts but not .fla ones. Which IDE should I use so that I can use it to develop various files involved in flash developing?

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.

Anybody else have that dilemma where you have movieclips on stage that should animate, but because they somehow end up switching index/priority(top to bottom on a single layer) on stage in some keyframes, they end up resetting themselves. This causes you to go back through all your movie clips just to check for this. Is there a reletively simple way to deal with this?
Also, assume that distributing everything to layers is not an option.

I am trying to dynamically resize an flv playing back in a flash player. To do this, I need to get the flv's width/height so I can maintain the original aspect ratio. I have noticed that in Firefox the onMetaData event will be hit right away, and the video will resize properly. In IE however, onMetaData is not hit until the buffer is full and video starts playing.
One solution I have thought of is to set the initial buffer to something close to 0 (e.g. 0.01). Then the buffer will instantly hit full, and the video will be resized. The issue I have with this is low bandwidth users will have a a short 'sputter' of video (0.5 seconds say) at the beginning before it goes to the next, larger, buffer. Is there any better way to deal with this behavior in IE? Can you manually "get" the metaData from an FLV file before it even plays?

is it best to load sound files into the library, or to load them externally? What I want to do is make a sampler app. You'd have a selection of loops and drag and drop them onto a timeline. My main concern is performance and any delay of sound.

I have a method fired on mouse down:
private function setGender(e:MouseEvent):void
{
check.visible = true;[code]...
The same method body is shared by another method fired on a keyboard Event (so, it takes a keyboard Event for argument). Which is the best way to deal with situations like this one? I would like to have only one method.One way could be to create a new method called by the two event handlers (even if, if I need to use e.target, it can change according to the type of event and other variables, so I should eventually create a method that takes e.target as a parameter). This creates three methods...Would it be possible to change for example e:MouseEvent with a parent of MouseEvent and KeyboardEvent?

I'm currently building a website that contain different game. each game is an external swf. I'm auto-preloading it while displaying textual stuff in order to have a minimum of preloading time.
Everything work well but imagine I've got 5 external swfs. If I decide to close one game and remove the loader child, when I click back to view this game, I have to reload it again.
So, is there a problem (memory or performance) if I do not delete my 5 loader childs in order to lead them only 1 time?

I have child node that has no information ... it would be a URL, so the error message I get is Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.. Code: _currURL = path.article.(@ID == _marker).storyURL; I thought I might check to see if _currURL == null, but that does nothing.

There was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well

any resources that could help me learn how to emulate a spoiler tag type effect for flash text?I've looked at tree menus etc but seems a bit fussier than needed. What I have is a very large piece of text with differing sections, rather than have a user swamped by everything at once I'd like to hide the majority of it with a brief intro for each section. A [+] / [-] button would expand and collapse the extra information when required (pushing the rest of the content down ala a tree menu type thing).

I have made a jigsaw puzzle game, that can be scaled up to have lots of pieces. Now I want to implement it so it can be played by more than one person at a time on a large multi-touch screen. I'm not sure how is best to proceed.
Ive had a look at some development kits and some tutorials and they seem to go into too many gestures etc. I literally only need the capability to move more than one piece at a time. So is it possible for flash to simply deal with this as multiple mouse down events rather than going into multi-touch gestures etc. Or do I need to do it another way?

I'm currently writing a client in ActionScript 3 that talks to a Red5 application/media server via a NetConnection object. The server sends the client multiple types of data over this connection including video, audio and remote procedure calls. After an indeterminate amount of time (sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 10 minutes) I see the following error in a popup window from my Debug version of the Flash client:"Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered."
I'm in the process of trying to figure out what's causing this error and the thing that's really driving me nuts is that I can't seem to catch it. I realize that the error probably indicates some low-level network read failing, but the fact that it generates a popup window in the debug flash player implies that I should be able to catch it.Since the error has no associated stack trace, I went so far as to add the an uncaught exception handler on my base Sprite object:
public class MyClient extends Sprite
{
public function FOWClient()[code].....
My uncaught exception handler will get called properly if I purposely throw in some errors, but it never gets called when this Error #2030 happens.How the heck can I catch this "End of file was encountered" error and deal with it in code? If I can't catch it, are there any thoughts on what's causing it and how I fix that? I've narrowed it down to having to do with RPC calls being made from my server to my client because when I disable those, but leave audio & video, I don't see the issue. Unfortunately, I don't yet have any good ideas beyond that.

I have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?

I have created a flash file that allows you to click on a thumbnail image and larger image appears ontop of a tshirt. The same way as a gallery would work. The images and thumbnails are pulled in through xml. However I have a problem, I need the images that appear on the tshirts to be .png files or gif files as the tshirt colour can be changed. At the moment my flash file will only display jpegs! I dont knwo why. The jpegs leave me with a white background, so I need the transparency of a png/gif. My actionscript is:

My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.
I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal. Is there anything

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

I installed Flash CS4 Professional trial version for school use. It wouldn't install successfully. I deleted the font files the troubleshooting guide said to, tried again, but gave up. (I'm afraid to run regedit and mess up everything else I have loaded.) (I previously had the Fireworks CS4 trial version loaded, then uninstalled it.) My problem is this- I have it running, but it saves files and then they can't be opened, even if I use the save function often- it's worse when I create the file, test the movie and then save.If I try to open it again, it says "cannot open file." Once it opened a copy I had saved, and it appeared blank, even though it was 544 kb file size. I only need it for a few more days, one more assignment and I'm afraid my previous files are corrupt. I have Windows Vista Home Edition.

I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.

I am constructing a Flash animation and I was hoping to build it by scenes. These scenes would be individual SWF movies that I could import into my final Flash file in consequential order and when finished I would have a completed Flash Movie. There would be no interaction beyond Play/and replay. Where can I get information on how to construct this and is this a recomended way to do it?
