I am using flashcs5 to make a standard component, the component is a rectangle box, i have set three public properties by inspectable tag.but when export to the swc file and using to a new flashcs project that only one property is valid. [URL]
The following code is binded to rectangle box,
package com.iyoya.ui {

I have been trying for days to write my own custom NCManager class that allows us to connect to a Limelight stream. We have to issue a NetCOnnect.call() that has the command "FCSubscribe" and the stream name. I've written a 100% custom player(url...) (have to register!) but what I want to to resolve that player with the video-on-demand player(url...) into a single Flash project.I want to allow our Graphics guys (aka Flash developers) to be able to use the standard Adobe FLVPlayback components and skins and also be able to p lay back files, streaming content and Limelight content. To this end I thought that writing a custom NCManager class would be the way to go.
I have 99.9% succeeded: my class gets the connectToURL(),connects to Limelight, subscribes and all is well but I am really really stuck now on how to tell the FLVPlayback component that it .can start playing back now that the stream is connected.FLVPlayback and VideoPlayer parts appear to be AS2 and I cannot call the rtmpStatusInfo() function on the VideoPlayer part to tell it that it is good to go.I am so close I can taste it: If I create a NetStream object and play() it, I can hear the content to I know that if I could only get the FLVPlayback / VideoPlayer dynamic duo to playback then the job would be done.
I have attached the code, warts and all in the hope that either somebody has done this before or can tell me what I have misunderstood about the internal state-machine / FSM logistics that VideoPlayer et al implement.By reading the source code and my debugging statements I can see that I have maneuvered it towards the ultimate goal of playback but I don't know how to make that final step.
PS: I *know* that reconnect() is non-functional but if I uncomment the call all it does is go around the loop again; the real problem is I cannot tell the VideoPlayer that it can play (via rtmpStatusInfo) the data etc
PPS: The meta-data related stuff *only* gets called if I uncomment the NetStream code; this was to check that I had a valid playback stream, which I do at that point.
i have rectangle movie and i want to make it triangle or round so it show round in the page. can i do so with i embed it or it must be done in flash before i export swf?Also i forgot how you make transparent area in flash?

when I inserted the code some of the symbols on stage disappeared. This did not surprise me because I did not understand the code, but then when I deleted the code it did not revert back. I dismantled the frame and dragged new symbols on stage and I still could not see them when I tested the movie. Checked to see if any code was written anywhere else but could not find any. The only code I had was a gotoAndStop which I was using simply to view that specific frame. when I removed the gotoAndStop finally the images appeared. If I placed a stop on the frame I wanted to view, then it worked fine but a gotoAndStop did not work as I was left with a white screen. Finally I had to recreate everything in a new document and then the gotoAndStop worked, but I have noticed that if I drag certain components on stage then I have a similar disappearing act.

Say the ViewStack has two children, A and B. A is initially visible, whereas B is not. How can I make sure they both load at the beginning, so that when I change to B I don't have to wait for it to load?

View 1 RepliesI am working on a text adventure game which will have at least a few components (a text area for narrative and text input for user input) on the stage at all times. Therefore, I have created those components statically through Flash's WYSIWYG design environment. I gave them instance names "myTA" and "myTI" respectively. I was able to get my main class (the document class for the stage) to interact with them (dynamically adding text one character at a time like a typewriter at runtime), but other classes in the same package don't seem able to recognize the stage components. Below is the relevant [code]...

View 1 RepliesI'd like to make a series of components into a solid, consistently repeatable object. For example, suppose I have a "notification" template that I want to add to a notifications area every time something new happens.

I want to take a template like that and make it so I can invoke it with a function like add_notification("icon", "text"). How would I go about doing that?

View 4 RepliesSimple question: I have numerous transitional xhtml pages marked up and ready to go. The code is basic but uses a few tags that are not recognized in Flash via HTML import- <h1>,<div> etc. Is there a best practice method for using this code without having to "dummy" down the code for use in Flash? Is there any advantage to importing the xhtml pages as XML and going that route or will I have the same problem?

I was thinking of developing a free online calculator in flash. It would be a standard calculator with basic functions like "+", "-", "*" etc. and an advanced calculator with more functions which would be similar to the scientific pocket calculator.
And I have a dilemma regarding the standard calculator. It's about the way it does the calculations. How would you expect a basic calculator (not an advanced one) to calculate this expression: 1+2*3 equals 7 or 9? On paper the result is clearly 7 but basic pocket calculator calculates the expression in line, unaware of the higher priority operators and give you 9 as a result to the expression above.
In the advanced version of the online flash calculator this expression would equal 7 but I have doubts about what people expect from a basic calculator.
if I write for example import fl.controls.*; flash (CS4 on iMac) says that it cannot find the definition..

We've got an issue (minor, but annoying) that I've got no clue where to begin to tackle.Our video player is run off a backend database, and 2 characters in particular are giving us problems:which are saved into the database with their ISO Latin-1 codes to avoid compatibility issues (ha, imagine that!).Now, all is fine and dandy except that our player uses this particular piece of data as a header in the template, styled to all caps using toUpperCase, which breaks the whole thing because it seems toUpperCase cannot properly map these letters to a corresponding uppercase value. To get around this we've tried using the HTML code for the uppercase equivalent of the same letter but the problem with this is that this same exact piece of data is also used on our website, but in it's raw camel-case format. We can't force it one way or the other, because then it breaks the other.
Is there a way we can use these sort of characters in both instances (in Flash with toUpperCase, and in the HTML page as camel-case)? Is this a Flash issue? A character code issue? A database issue? Where do I begin to address this?
