ActionScript 3.0 :: Options Bewildering - Task With Automating SWF Creation From An AVI Source (quickly)
Dec 1, 2008
I'm a complete newbie regarding Flash development, but I've been tasked with automating SWF creation from an AVI source (and quickly!). Once the SWF is finished playing it should endlessly loop from the last frame to about 5 seconds prior to the end frame. Think of a speaking character, followed by some idle movements. We want the idle movements to endlessly loop. What I've done/need to do is:
1) Automate the creation of the AVI. Done.
2) Convert the AVI to SWF (using FFmpeg). Done.
3) Write Actionscript to detect the last frame, and then jump
to some other frame.
4) Merge the SWF with the actionscript and produce a new SWF which is then placed on a website.
Being a newbie to Flash, I'm overwhelmed by the array of options out there for something so simple in concept. I'm looking for a command line solution so everything can be completely automated. My questions are: Can steps 3 & 4 be done with the FlexSDK? What would the steps be to get something like this accomplished?

My goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?

use the mxmlc task of the Flex Ant tasks with a user-definable list of source path or library paths? The idea is that the user can define an arbitrary list of source paths and/or library (swc) paths into an Ant properties file and the build file takes these values and evaluates them for use in the mxmlc task. Just wondering if there are any tricks (maybe utilizing filtering/string replacing) to get this working?

Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I want to create a folder structure through Flex or AIR... is it possible? I mean the Flex or AIR will receive the inputs on what the folders and file names will be and when i press create, it should create a directory structure...
It is possible in PHP through fileSystem, but i am not sure whether it is possible in FLex or AIR....

I'm searching for a scriptable/automated way to have the latest version of Flash installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 testing machines.
These machines serve testing purposes, however, because of the number of different machines we have, it is unwieldy to update them all by hand.
How can the installation of Flash be automated?

So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

I'm new to actionscript so I can't create task that I need.My problem is that, I can't change the task doing every frame with actionscript.let me example:
ActionScript Code:
instance_name.x += 2;
if (instance_name.x > stage.stageWidth - instance_name.width)
{
instance_name.x -= 2;
}
In this code I told flash to move the object (instance_name) 2 pixels to the right every frame. and if it arrives at the end of stage, It move 2 pixels to the left every frame. But when I test the movie, at the end of stage it wouldn't turn back and move to the left and stood still. Its because it process ( instance_name.x += 2; ) after it got out of the end of stage.

I'm looking to create an AS3 utility that will place frame labels (about 200), on the main timeline, to save the time it takes to do it manually. The label would be very simple like "page" + i. Is there AS3 code that addresses utility methods of this sort?

Flex Builder 3 provides support to generate actionscipt from WSDL via the GUI ( Data->Import Web Service (WSDL) ) - but this sort of method requires that you check in the generated source. This is not desirable to us (we understand both sides of the 'should generated source be checked in' and we have decided that they should not) so we would like a method to generate the actionscript classes from an ant task. In this case, the WSDL would live in the file system.

I'm trying to create a Flex application that automates a web browser to perform certain tasks. I would use the application to login to a site, parse data out of the HTML, and send it to a jsp page for processing. I currently have an application written in WPF that does that exact thing, but it needs to be ported to flex.

I'm building a simple task manager that will at this moment execute tasks in a serial manner. I have been reading about threads in flex and it seems it is not quite clear/prepared for real threads.
What I'm looking at this moment is a way to execute a method at the beginning or end of a flash builder update. This method will be the one that will take the responsibility to start tasks added in the previous update. The removing of finished tasks will be done through event notification (the task will notify it finished) then the scheduler will remove it and dispatch the message again to let the outside world know the task was over.
