ActionScript 3.0 :: Minimize Stage Stick It To The Taskbar?
Jan 3, 2011
I am creating a media player that is supposed to run in the background and thus not obscure any other applications that the user runs.The playe is essentially a lot of AS3 with a minimum of graphics � just enough to set volume and toggle some parameters.uestion:How can I make my graphics so that it can be minimized and only appear on the tastbar?As it is now it can be maximized to cover the full screen and made small so tha it shrivels up down in the left corner of the screen.

I'm a bit newbie to Flash, and I'm experiencing strange problem. I have a simple flash application, which when run in Flash player looks like this
the thing is, when i resize the Flash player window, a black frame becomes visible to the left and top of the stage. is it possible that these black areas start appearing on the right side, and the stage to be fixed on the left? The strange thing is that these black areas are not part of the stage, the (0,0) coordinate is there where white area starts and not in the corner of the window, and that's causing me problems.

Im trying to get the sprite overlay to stick to the edges of the stage when I resize the swf window. It works when you resize the width, but not the height.

I have an AIR app about half way done right now. I was informed by the client today that he does not want a tab to show up in his task bar. I already have this in place for new windows by making them lightweight. I do not know how to make the main window lightweight though. If there is not a way, is there a work around, like not not having a main window and just opening lightweight windows, don't know how that could be done either though?

I'm currently designing a flash web site for local viewing with animations and the like. This is being activated via the "active desktop" in display properties.I forgot how to point flash to open local exe files. ie PS or flash or whatever.. is it possible to have a flash made task bar that sits "on top" of everything else? This would really start some creative options for me if it is.

I've searched a LOT, but dint get the solution to this: Is there a way to display flex notifications in Windows taskbar, ie, the notification should still be visible even if the application s not exactly frontmost in the monitor..There are ways to do this on AIR, or even flex4..but not Flex3??

Is there a way that I can get an AIR app to appear on screen (Always on top), but does not take up a spot on the taskbar? For example, Google desktop takes up part of your screen, but doesn't take up a tab at the bottom.
I'm using custom chrome as well, so how do I find out how much space the taskbar takes up dynamically? This doesn't necessarily have to work on Mac since I'm probably going to be the only one to use it.

I've followed the Adobe instrunctions on how to create an app without windows (link).
The gist is that you can do this by hiding or closing the original nativeWindow and creating a new one with theUTILITY or LIGHTWEIGHT property.
Unfortunately, when an application is launched more than once, the new nativeWindow is created again with each launch. This is highly undesirable.
I've tried setting variables with the launch of the application, but it seems like these are not accessible by the new instances of the application. The weird thing is: AIR apps are not supposed to have multiple intances (should be impossible)! And there actually is only one instance according to the windows task manager and the fact that there is only one systemtray icon.

It looks to me like the easiest route in AS3 is to use a Shape/Sprite's Graphics property to draw these lines, clearing and re-drawing each time the stickman changes. But some of the newer Flash 10 stuff seems to suggest a closer functionality to 3D graphics where you can define points and lines/triangles and then move the points rather than recreating all from scratch each render. Is this the case?

I'm trying to minimize the size of my SWF, but I can't find the tools that I need. HI need a tool that will take my SWF (or .as files would work as well, I suppose) and deconstruct it, analyzing how many bytes each class contributed to the final SWF file size. I would like this analysis to occur for both 'built-in' Flash classes ('flash.util.*', etc), as well as my own hand-written classes. (Other languages, such as C, Java, OpenLaszlo, etc, provide this functionality in a straightforward manner, but I'm stumped with AS3). (Note that I'm compiling with CS3, but Flex SDK solutions are also welcome)
Armed with this information, I'll be able to identify which classes are contributing the most to file size, and optimize them as necessary. For example, Flash's Button class is a bit bloated for simple applications - this tool would help me realize the inordinate number of bytes the Button class is contributing and re-write a simpler Button class for my needs (which inadvertently, I've already done ).

I have a clip that I want to rotate 90deg every 12 seconds. The duration of the tween is 4 secs. I've noticed that after a while the clip doesn't rotate a full 90 degrees, and the whole thing gradually drifts out of the correct angle. If I trace the clip's rotation it shows 0, 90, 180, -90, etc. for a while then may start throwing out e.g. -106.22701125.my initial code just added 90deg to the clip's current rotation value:
Code:
var timer:Timer=new Timer(12000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
[code]....
...however the sticking still occurs, and may be related to other events happening on the stage, albeit these are pretty simple mouseOver events and shouldn't hammer resources.

I've been experimenting with shape tweens using the line tool to make stick figures, and using shape tweens to make the figures move around. It's great fun, but I've been running into a particularly disruptive problem. For example, I'll have a stick figure in one spot at frame 1. I move it across the screen using a shape tween, and bend one of his arms over the course of 10 or so frames. The problem is, Flash seems to be misinterpreting what ought to happen during the tween. Instead of just bending the arm, Flash makes the arm rotate in a full circle. It still ends up where it ought to at Frame 10, but it takes the wrong path to get there. I've attached a video to illustrate what I mean. Look at the upper body piece right at the end. Is there any way I can fix this without having to animate frame by frame?[code]...

I am having an issue with a playbook app I am working on. This is the first one i've done using Flex Burrito Hero, and on the simulator I noticed that the app fails to minimize gracefully (when multi-tasking etc). Are there any resources for handling minimization or anything that could help guide me to debug whats going on with that?

I have a bat and ball game and was wondering what eventlistener I would use to include a hand that would hold the bat instead of the mouse using the bat.I have made a new class called hand and addChild (aHand) and I want the x and y to stick to the bat I already have that is pinned at the bottom of the stage.

I know that trying to model character movement in Box2D is always hard/impossible, but I'm trying to see if there's any way to make an user-controlled object that cleanly slides against other objects, going up or down, that makes it look like the character is climbing/walking up or a down. The character could be modelled as a circle if that simplifies matters, but I don't see how I could get this effect using just a circle with a joint motor.
There's a "wheel joint" in the C++ version of Box2d, which I suppose I could port to Flash, but I don't know if that would give the correct effect either. Another idea I had was to have the character do little jumps, based on the normal of the object that it is touching. But I suspect that at corners, or at contacts with multiple objects, this will give weird results.

I've made a video player based on the flvplayback component. I didn't get the player to fit the screen when i turned of fullscreenTakeover so i turned it on again.
But i at least want the user to be able to double click their out of fullscreen mode. I have tried adding a mouseEvent to both the player and the stage but i don't get it to work. Is there a way to do this?

I have created a button with this function to minimize my application window, in AS3 for an AIR app:
function mbtn(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.nativeWindow.minimize();
}
On the stage, I have an empty movieclip which loads an AS class file. It works fine and shows up where I have put the empty movieclip which acts as a holder. But, if I hit the button that minimizes the window, and then open my application again the content of my AS class move some pixels below and go off stage.

this is sort of a cross post (yes AND sorry), but I realized that it makes more sense to post it here than in FlashMX - so the moderators are welcome the first post. What I'm trying to do is gradually minimize an object, when dragged into a certain area. Let's say I have a box and when it is dragged away from the center it becomes gradually smaller.

I'm making a jigsaw puzzle in flash and there's something I just can't figure out. I want it so that if you pick up a piece, drop it next to another piece, and the two pieces are supposed to go together, the two pieces will snap together so that if you move one piece the other will move with it. I've seen some games where they somehow get movie clips to stick together when they come into contact with each other, but I haven't been able to figure out how they did it.

In a project we use large flash FLA file with lots of graphic assets, but the actual data that is changed is just in a few symbols. Sometimes it is not very efficient to transfer the whole FLA file that comes up to 20MB now.
I was thinking about using Shared Libraries, but it seems that, even if you import external library, it still copies the whole assets into the destination file, but does not link it from external file. Consequently, size of the FLA file still remains the same.
Is there any way to split FLA files into few separate in order to minimise size of the most frequently updated file and keep all unchanged data in another file?
