My current project imports the following on the root time line
[Code]...
I then have a series of movieclips in my library that get loaded in as required at run time using addChild. In each of these movieclips I am having to use the same import commands or I get an error. Is there a way of me changing my code in some way so I only need to use the imports once in the main time line?
I often use the shortcut for Organize imports (CMD - SHIFT - O) in Flash Builder. Some times Flash Builder just removes all my imports (not the SDK) and I have to add them manually. Anyone else who have had this problem?
View 1 RepliesSay you have a document class, and a customMenu class. If they import some of the same classes, would it be less overhead if everything was in the document class? Thus imports only happen one time?
View 3 RepliesI have two ArrayUtil classes I need to access from the same class - they each come from external libraries and have different code, so I can't just combine them.
How do I disambiguate them in the code?
I tried doing com.adobe.utils.ArrayUtil inline, and leaving the existing import, but that resulted in an undefined property com error.
Is it possible to limit number of 'imports' in AS3 code by defining them in parent class or in any other way?
View 2 RepliesI've been working on a project for some time now in flash develop and it's come time to clean it up. While I was working on it I re sorted code into different classes without removing the imports in the existing classes. Now I know I probably have a ton of unused imports in classes I was wondering if their was an easy way to find these and remove them. At the moment the only way I can think is comment them out one by one until the app chucks a spaz?
View 2 RepliesI've got a problem how to organise files and packages in AS3/Flex project. A short intro to the problem:
The files structure in the project is (and should stay) like this:
libs/Class1/src/<files>
libs/Class2/src/<files>
libs/Class3/src/<files>
The amxmlc compiler source-path variable points to:
libs/
I need it because I have to subclass Class1 in Class3. That pushes me to put all the classes into packages that look as weird as this:
package ClassX.src { /* ... */ }
So in practice it looks like that:
package Class3.src
{
import Class1.src.Class1; // I prefer direct imports
public class Class3 extends Class1 { /* ... */ }
}
Is there a way to keep the files/folders structure and get rid of src in the package name. Changing the files structure or direct pointing compiler into base-class directory in not an option.
I pulled the flvplayback component into my library and got the video playback working loading an external FLV in.
Now I want that code in an external class, the problems I am getting with the video and video events
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: VideoEvent. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Video.
How do I import the video component into my external class
Normally when I have lets say two sorts of Events, the MouseEvent and the TouchEvent, what I then do is import flash.events.*; Would it save space/performance/whatever to specificly import the needed events?
View 2 Repliesis there any way to Organize Imports of entire project using FlashDevelop? It's an ActionScript project.

View 3 RepliesI'm working with a large Actionscript project, and every file needs to have it's imports organized. I noticed that you can achieve this easily in the Java version of eclipse, but that doesn't seem to work in Flash Builder. Is there a simple way to organise imports for the entire project?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying out the Flex Builder 3 Plugin for Eclipse, and it doesn't seem to have quick fix or automatic imports. I use those two features a lot with Java and FDT. I've been googling, but all I've found is some plugin that someone wrote for Flex Builder 2, and no other mentions. Is Flex Builder supposed to have these features?
View 5 RepliesI am looking to create a flash gallery which imports images from a mysql datbase and links associated to the image which will also be in the databae . The idea is to show the user in a carousel style the last picture added to the database at the front and if that or any other picture within the carousel is clicked another swf will load.Using php will do I just don't know where to start.
View 3 RepliesMy issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.
What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

I have three FLV videos playing on my main time line.they are each set to auto play and the are each on individual frames.lets say frame 30-31 and 32.how do I have the video stop playing once it detects that the user clicked out of that frame?my problem is the video or I guess it's just the audio keep on playing even though I am already viewing some other page.
View 2 Repliesis there a way to reach the stage (the main time line) from ANYWHERE.In AS2 it was _root...The aim is : I want to add on stage an MC from within a class. As expected, addChild(mc) doesn't work, it adds the child to my class, not to the stage. So : is there any stage.addChild(mc) or MainTimeLine.addChild(mc) or anything like this ?The other way is to add the class on stage addChild(MyClassName).

I'm making a quiz-type animation, since I'm new with ActionScript I had developed my own way to make this work. I want to add like a meter that shows one out three position depending on the answer given, I had made this animation as a movieclip but now I need it to react according to the answer, so it changes on every question to do that I need to access the variables I'm using in the main time line, how can I access the the main time line variables from the movie clip? The movie clip (meter) is basically the background and the questions will change and advance on top of that movie clip so it'll change with each answer until you get the final result.

I received an AS file from an outside source and I want to understand the what MovieClip(root) is doing? I know there is a movieClip on the stage called "field" and with in it a dynamic text field called "txt" and that this text field is being tied into a css class. But I don't quite get the MovieClip(root) part.Is this just a way of saying that the text field you are targeting is on the main time line? [code]

View 6 RepliesI'm making a movie w/ no interactivity and I want to put a series of movie clips on the main time line, each to play after the previous movie clip is done. The only way I can make it work is to put the movie clips in keyframes and then allow all all the frames for the movie to play. My movie is way too long and I know there has to be a better way! I'm trying to figure out the action to assign to the keyframe that will play the movie clip within that one frame and when it's done, go on to the next movie clip.
