I have been playing with new (or not so new) MouseCursorData to at last stop using mouseX or MouseMove. Better performence is better work but I have a problem with MouseCursorData limitation. As you know MouseCursorData has 32x32 pixels for a custom cursor. Is there any way to overrid this limit?[code]
View 0 Replieslimits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.
I currently have a script that allows the user to click on a right or left arrow to scroll across a movie under a mask, but currently they can scroll it so you don't see anything in the middle. How can I add an X and Y axis limitations so this doesnt happen to the following script:

var move_fn:String="";
var speed:Number = 5;

View 1 RepliesI've looked at a few demos from adobe that show apps built with Flex 4.5 running on iOS from simple list views to video capture. This has made me wonder if its an effective solution to build cross platform mobile apps.
For those of you who have taken Flex 4.5 mobile for a spin, what is your impression on the capability and performance on iOS. Is there anything you can't do with Flex 4.5 mobile that you couldn't with a native app? Are there any limitations?
I want to use a camera which is installed in my computer in a Flex AIR application I'm writing, and I have few questions regarding the quality options : Do I have any limitation on the video image quality? If my camera supports HD recording, will I be able to record in HD format via the AIR application? How can I export the recorded video in any format I want? If I want to use the same camera for shooting stills, how can I ensure (within the code) the best quality for the result pictures?
View 1 RepliesI'm dynamically loading a CSS file and text file to populate a TextField. As far as the default styles are concerned, no problem!But as soon as I try stuff like p.title, the style is not applied. Is this a restriction of the CSS support that Flash/Flex offers? Do I have to resort to the "simpel-style-selectors" like ".title" or "p" in my CSS?
Works:
Code:
.title { color:#FF0000; }
Doesn't work:
Code:
p.title { color:#FF0000; }
ps: I know that Flash doesn't support everything that CSS has to offer, but I'm looking for confirmation of someone who can tell me for a fact that the above p.class-selector is not supported.
Does anyone know if Flash has a limitation on dynamically imported jpegs? I find that maybe 30% (maybe more) of the jpegs I have do not import into Flash (using LoadMovie).I think I read somewhere that you can't import progressive jpegs dynamically. Is that it? Or is there something else?

if mouse events are used instead of touch events on touch enabled devices, does that limit "touch" input to one touch at a time.
if a mouse down event is currently in progress will a following mouse down event simply not register or cancel the previous?
how are mouse events, historically used as single control pointers on desktop systems, handled on touch enabled devices capable of several simultaneous touch points?
event classes have a clone() function typically used to fire multiple events, so i'm assuming MouseEvent is not limited. however, my goal is to actually limit my application to one touch at a time (exclusive touch), but i'm not sure if this will be automatically handled with the use of mouse events.
A few days ago, I began to develop a flash with text editor and Flex SDK which is free.

View 2 RepliesI have a quite large AS3 project, that involves loading external images and videos. The videos are requested one at a time. But for the sake of the UI experience I decided to load all images at once, added them to a container in different movieclips and then fade them in and out.
It all works fine, while I have 10 to 15 images, over that it starts to deteriorate the performance. Actually I'm not even sure that the problem is the performance, but the thing is that flash starts doing weird clunky behaviors, specially related to mouse interaction.This is a link where it works fine, with about 8 images in the xml.

Probably the solution would be loading one by one, but if it's performance, what's going to happen when the timer slider cycles through 30 and they are all loaded anyways?
Flash AS2, AS3, and so on have many limitations. For example it is almost impossible to do transitions from a straight path to a curved one and vice versa for example as required in a in a car race game. You may have go for a frame by frame animation which is very cumbersome.
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to determine what limitations SSAS has that the C++ plug-in architecture can rectify.
Currently I have determined that C++ plug-ins can provide the following benefits: Quality of service increase/decrease based on client info via reserving a set of core processes for premium clients, then have a set of core processes for everyone else. Additional layer of security in the Authorization plug-in
I have not been able to find very many features that the C++ plug-in can provide that you can not provide with some code in the SSAS. So I guess I am just looking for a comparison table of advantages/disadvantages between the C++ and SSAS. How can I exploit the C++ plug-in architecture to do amazing things that the SSAS can not?
I am trying to let the user import giant images into a flash application. Unfortunately the BitmapData object's dimensions cannot exceed "8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels" (see Reference)
Obviously with FlashPlayer11 these limitations vanish - BUT: As I only get bytes from the FileReference, I need to convert these via Loader.loadBytes(), to get access to the image data. This doesn't seem to work for images exceeding the old BitmapData limitations.

View 3 RepliesI've run into a peculiar problem while trying to make use of the Proxy class and override the getProperty() method. I've attached my example class code below:
package
{

I have a base class like this
class Base {
public var space:Number;
}
which gets extended by
class Desc extends Base {

This doesn't compile. Say, you don't have control of the base class, what ways is there implement the same thing? The obvious is create a function setSpace(), but this object is being embedded in an already existing system that use the public space.
I would like to create many different labels which have identical properties but which have a different position and a different name. I created a main class called DefaultLabel which defines the format of a standard label and then I created a seperate class called Label which overrides the createLabel method with a different position and a different label text.
Ever since I added the Label class, my original label doesnt appear anymore and I receive error msgs (1119) stating that my formating properties (text, color, etc) are not defined and that they reference to a static type Label. Unfortunately I do not have Flash installed in English so I cant give you the original msg. Everything worked fine when I just created one standard label so I guess I made a mistake with overriding...
The various labels should be created in this class:
PHP Code:
package {
public class Label extends DefaultLabel
{
private var myLabel1 : Label = new Label();
[code]....
I'm looking to speed up my game, and I know that people keep saying the default prototypes are slow, and so I'm wanting to swap them out with better ones, like I found one that makes split() 10x faster than default...
