ActionScript 3.0 :: No 'wiggle' Class Built
Jun 22, 2010
i've come to realize there's no "wiggle" class built into as3. i mean an affect similar to the wiggle command in AE. so i've been making my own and been banging my head on stuff the past few days cuz of this.i've got something!...but i can get the code to work ONLY if i make the constructor a method instead. but when i do that all the movieclips the method in the fla is applied to wiggles around the same place. see:URL...so i figured the way around this was to make the method a constructor of an object. then in the lfa instance a wiggle object to wiggle movieclips. but now im getting a ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on wiggle().

I am using the built in transition class to do the movement. I notice that when two things are clicked in quick succession the movement jitters and looks awful. Also when a menu button is clicked the little white line which appears next to it moves very slowly.

I've built a class which extends MovieClip an works ok. In this class i'm creating some MCs.and this part works ok.Before i've built some prototypes which adds some methods to the MovieClip object I'd like to use these methods in the class i've created.
But using the include before the class statement throws an error during compile
How can i do to add the methods in the prototypes to my MCs in my class?

// ActionScript...
String.a = 3;
Compiler reports an error.
// ActionScript...
as = String;
as.a = 3;
trace(as.a)
// Output: 3
It can be seen from this that Flash VM can set attribute to built-in Class, but compiler prohibits that. Is this a bug or a characteristic in Flash VM?

i'm trying to make a wiggle function that wiggles a movieclip like after effect's wiggle function.[code]bioTxt and showsTxt are both movieclips linked to as3. the code works just fine when its working with just one movieclip, but when two or more come into play all movieclips go to the same location and start wiggling. this is not what i want! i want them to stay in the places i put them but still wiggle!

When I scale a movie clip that includes text and do a tween, the text kind of wiggles around as it resizes. It doesn't look smooth at all.

I did a xml image gallery, with buttons for each image (using the duplicateMovieClip function + a for loop).Now i went to next step, I need to make a scroll for the menu, BUT, i don't have any idea how to set something to happen after the for loop is done.
My code so far:
Code:
stop();
var yPos = -10;
var depthCount = 1;
[code]....
Just for a simple test (since i noticed what i tried wasn't working well), I added a test movie clip and added a _visibile = false to be executed, i added it right after the closing of the for loop. I didn't had sucess thou, it happened before the loop .

i've used a Loader and URLRequest to download a .png from the internet and add it to my display list. since it's already a bitmap, does it have built in bitmap data already? or do i have to create the bitmap data myself?also, why does the same trace statement return false in the mouseMoveHandler when it outputs true in the displayImage function?
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://somewebsite.com/image.png"));
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener

I'm currently working on converting an Android app I built natively as an iPhone app. I'm recreating it in Flash as I know AS3 but not Objective C. My original Android app is localized for 4 different languages (it's so easy to do with Android!) - and my question is - how would I do this for the iOS version from Flash? Would I be able to use separate XML files with all the strings in each language and load them in after somehow detecting which language the user's device is set to?I ended up using the following code:
var languageSettings:Array = Capabilities.languages;
var locale:String = languageSettings[0].toString().toLowerCase();
This gave me a 2-letter language code: 'en' for English, 'de' for German, etc. which I was able to use to load the correct xml file for each language.

I have been fighting with this for nearly a month, (My wife is tired of hearing about it) and have been avoiding putting the question onto this forum because it feels like it's just within my reach. But obviously it isn't.
I have the code set up to dynamically build this calendar. It works for the month we're in but attempting to go to the previous or next month does not work. Sometimes next month works actually.
Ok I just checked it and it really only worked for October and now it is incorrect for November. The problem is determining the first and last days (i.e. Sunday, Monday, etc...) of the month.[code]...

I have been playing around with the tweening class, and wanted to make some tweeks to the motion inside the Back class, but when I tried added in some trace code it was like the /classes/functions were not being called?I went as far as renaming the easing folder to see what would happed, but nothing did, swf continued to play fine as if nothing had happened...are the classes it uses at run time in a different place?

On this website [URL] you will find a big flash applet at the top of the page. It has a sharedobject built in. Every time the applet goes to a new slide/scene (which it automatically does after x seconds), it updates the SharedObject so that once you refresh the page you end up at the same slide/scene again. Now the thing is that it does this only correctly in Internet Explorer.
Code:
var so=SharedObject.getLocal("pagehit");
if(so.data.pagehit != undefined){
/* Er bestaat al een cookie */
if(so.data.pagehit == "Scene 1"){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
};
[Code] .....
This is the code of Scene 1. Where you get forwarded to another scene if the cookie exist.
Code:
so.clear();
var so=SharedObject.getLocal("pagehit");
so.data.pagehit="Scene 2";
so.flush();
This is the code of the other scenes, ofcourse with a different scene number for each. It doesn't depend on the browser but on flash alone.

I have built a Pre-Loader for my RSS feed project. I have tried the example of a remote loader from the gotoandlearn() tutorials, but I need a ActionScript3 loader built in the same timeline.I have read and tried many tutorials on this but none work.All my information loads in Frame1 no matter how I set the linkage in my components or my global settings.

I've spend the last 6 months developping a Flash (CS4 / Flash v10) game. As I'm now ready to publish it online, I would like to ensure that my actionscript code is safe. Hence my questions are: - Is the CS4 built-in password protection safe? (I guess not given that my actionscript still needs to be executed hence has to be readable for the client)
- What are the best options to further protect my code? (I guess obfuscation is the most common approach: which obfuscators are good?)

I am have about 80% of a my website built and buttons all mapping where they should go, along with a number of XML driven BANNER ROTATORS/ACCORDIAN MENUS...ect
This site requires users to be signed in, which is done through a site previous to mine. Once they log in, they can click a button which then allows them access to my site.
My site has three "user levels" or "autentication levels" as we have "Managers", "Supervisors" and "Staff" levels.
For testing purposes, we have placed the below actionscript in the first frame of my project. The purpose of this actionscipt is to reference the "authentication level" that the user is using (as they will have already signed in so we are simply looking to obtain their "auth level").

how to go about getting the Flash Player(s) that's built into the CS5 IDE updated? According to System.capabilities.version, it's running v10.1.52.14 which, according to this page on the Adobe site, says was a pre-release version of Flash Player and should not be used! It also seems to have an annoying bug where HTML tags are frequently shown as raw HTML, rather than being rendered, which makes testing stuff in the IDE a real pain.

A few days ago I decided I wanted to make my own drag&drop flash components, with inspectable properties. Since the documentation for flash components is so limited, I followed the workflow of some blogs I found around the web (mostly about CS3 components). In the end I managed to create a component that has a Live View, that gets a visual update whenever you change the properties (width, height, color..) ....in CS4 !
The problem in CS5 is that when I drag my component on the stage, the timeline of this movieclip starts playing in a loop. As you may or may not know, Components have 1 "Avatar" frame, and 1 "Assets" frame. So this looks kinda weird when that timeline plays.
There is always the possibility that I made a mistake, but when I download the source files from the blog post on the page http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/creating-flash-compo nents-for-distribution/comment-page-1/#comment-33865
the same thing happens.
When I then save my CS5 FLA as a CS4 FLA and try to use the downloaded component and my own, both of them work fine in CS4. So I think this might be a bug in CS5.? Which is pretty bad because I wanted to use these components in iphone development using the CS5 packager...I read somewhere that we actually use the UIComponent because it has no timeline, so I don't see how it's possible that it plays.
I uploaded my source files to [URL]

Lets make it simple. Lets say I have the stage with a combo box. I will have 100 frames with the combo box tweening from position to another. I easily can do it and see the animation of the combobox over the timeline. But when I create the swf file, the animation doesn't work. This also happens to all the other components. They don't accept any type of animation except if they are embeded in another movie clip.

I'm having an issue with Movieclips inside my Swf resizing to the wrong dimensions. I'm currently tracing the width of the offending clip every half second, and I can see the value change to an incorrect size at some interval in the logged output. I really want to see what code is changing the width. My plan was to extend Movieclip, override the set width property, and dump a stack trace when the value set is too low. This isn't so simple however. Flash is complaining about undefined reference to UI components that are on the Movieclip fla. Is there a simple way to find out when/why this value changes? I cannot use a debugger.
edit: The reason I cannot just extend MovieClip is because I am getting my Movieclip object from Event.currentTarget.content after using a Loader. I cannot point my Test (extends MovieClip) object at this return value because it is illegal to do so.I have an app with lots of different windows. They all open to a size of around 750x570. One of these windows contains a FusionChart. when I load this, according to my trace, the background Swf I am using changes to a dimension of about 2712x1930. This doesn't make sense to me because it looks the same size as before and at those dimensions it wouldn't even come close to fitting on my screen.If I then close the window and open another, the new window is tiny, but says it has the same dimensions as the original windows (750x570).
It is almost as if the window is scaling to the huge 2712x1930 without showing a change in size, and then showing the next window (750x570) as a size relative to what the huge window would look like. If that makes sense...

I'm creating a Flex 4 application which contains different modules in it. The main application contains a style sheet and the modules inherit the styles defined in this file.Its working fine when the swf's are generated using Flash Builder. But when I'm generating it using Ant script, the modules does not inherit the styles and everything looks weird.I added isolate-styles="false" as an additional parameter to mxmlc, but still its not working.

So I got Bada Wave II.. It shall have FP9 and Adobe site thinks it has! but we see strange banner on top. So I thought - grate - we have it... And I built this fith flex builder 3 for FP 9.0.124 but when I go to it I see nothing but this
or ...
Code behind is simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VideoDisplay id="va" source="http://imgproc.apmath.spbu.ru:4773/robot669394444.flv?action=read" autoPlay="true" [code]...
I also tried to compile it for FP 9.0.28 which was one of big FP game changers... So I whent to Google and found something that worked on Bada and at the same time was FP9!) It was not working 100% correctly as you can see but any way - I can operate with out navigation... Here are screensho. Note that flash content was unscrollable, unzoomable and browser about was showing ...
So at leasted it worked! So I descided to try and go into html... and modified my flex builder generated html into something as close as possible to that sample that worked and it shows this same wary FP9 logo thing...:... so It seems that I can not run Flex, mxml based projects on my bada... or can I?

I'm building an app that plays video in AIR for Android.when I package the video into the apk and set the source like this: FLVPlayback(player). source = "clip.mov";It loads and plays, but as per this discussion, it's very jerky, and I'm trying to implement the suggested solution of loading the video from the DCIM folder instead of packaging it with in the apk.When I put the video into the DCIM folder (manually) and then call this:[code]
Nothing happens (it reports the path correctly as /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/clip.mov, which I can see is sitting in the correct place on the device's file system).I seems like some sort of permission thing, but I'm not sure what permission I'd need to set for this to function correctly.What's the correct methodology for loading video from the file system into FLVPlayback component that is slated to run in Android?

Is the source available for build in classes and or components? If so, where? I am running CS5 on Win7 64 bit. I would like to add functionality to the ScrollPane component but I need to know how it works and which functions I can override. I was a little confused when a page I found suggested extending it to fix a bug. The Adobe reference only shows one protected method and so although the fix worked, I wouldn't have had any way of fixing it if I didn't come upon that page.
