I can download a pdf manual from adobe called 'programming actionscript 3'. I was wondering if it is also possible to buy a printed copy? Already looked inside the 'store' section, but couldn't find it.

View 2 RepliesI have four buttons that I'd like to press and go to a certain spot on a layer called 'copy'. My code:[code]However, the copy text loops endlessly, even when I press the buttons. I have an actionscript layer, a copy layer, and a background layer. The copy layer has four frames of text. The background layer has four identical frames of background.
View 3 RepliesI have a .as file that creates 6 buttons. For the buttons I have another .as that is their base class (sets the rollover effects). That .as also handles the CLICK event on those buttons. But nomatter how I try I can't seem to make it so, that if one of the buttons is clicked it would turn to 3rd .as that would make a MC called "rabbit" on the stage move.

View 1 RepliesI want to develop an AIR application that will let users of my website download multiple files in a single process.

Are there any good tutorials or source code examples for a simple yet effective AIR download manager developed using Flash CS4. I have come across a Flex based tutorial, so how would I go about using this to develop it in Flash?

View 3 RepliesI was dealing with some sample code for a FMS applicaion.There is a certain code(Server Side Action Script 1) that uses a trace statement to print out a sentence.However when the program runs and executes the method,the print statement does not get printed on the'output' in FLASH.The code is as follows:
application.onAppStart = function()[code].....
Ok, this is a function that used to work...so I didn't check it for a while...and I did not edit it from when it was working in any way...but now the print function does not produce a page from the printer...when I click "Print View" the print dialog box comes up, and I can choose my printer, and when I click ok, there is a tooltip near the windows clock that says document sent to printer, but the printer never does anything...I have tested this in several printers and several computers...I have also tried to output to a pdf...and it allows me to choose a file name to save to but it never creates the file...
print button code:
Code:
printButton.onRelease = function()
{
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
[Code]....

View 1 RepliesI am well versed in Photoshop and getting somewhere in Illustrator, so the Adobe learning curve is not a huge factor for me. I have not, however, done much work in Flash (or any, really). I want to create what should be a pretty simple animation and I'm wondering what the best approach is. Also, I've never done any ActionScript work but do have extensive development experience. I have access to Flash Professional and Catalyst, PS, AI - all of Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium. I would like to draw/design in either PS or AI something that looks like a photo booth.
I want to animate some photos being printed out and falling out into the tray or whatever... just like what you see when a strip of four photos prints out in one of those booths at the mall or the movie theater. I want to do it a few times with a few different pictures. It would be easiest to just "hard code" or embed which pictures I want in the movie, but if I could eventually do some ActionScripting to just pull all images in a directory or (best yet) from the Flickr API that would be really awesome too. I just need to know where to get started. Should I try starting with FP or import some AI into FC?
A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.

View 12 RepliesI have a large Group which contains two rulers and labels for distances, and a varied amount of smaller groups consisting of images and labels. Now my task is to print the large group on a page with a header and a footer. The large group extends outside the edge of the page and pushes the footer off the page. If I was printing just the Group, I could use
printJob.addObject(myView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
to fit it all on one page, but that would scale the header and footer as well, which I don't want - I'll be printing more pages and want the header and footer sizes to stay the same.
Is there a way to scale only the group and its contents automatically before printing?

View 0 RepliesI've an AIR app which prints a couple of DataGrids with approximately 3 pages worth of data each. I get great-looking printouts, but the printing is slow - I noticed that printing these 6 pages + a title page and a page of lightweight images was sent to the printer in a file of almost 50 MB (on Windows). Is this a normal size for a printed DataGrid? Is there anything I can do to make it smaller and faster?
View 1 RepliesWho can explain why mc2 movie gets printed in snippet below?
mc1._visible = true;
mc2._visible = false;
printNum (0, "bmovie");
mc2._visible = true;
If I comment last line then mc2 is not printed. I assume the reason is that mc2 becomes visible before printNum is finished. So, is there a way to know if flash is done with printing?
I'm trying to print an MC that is on screen with a dynamic text field in the MC - its printing just fine but the placement of one of the elements is off. Basically I have a dynamic text field centered on the stage, however when I print it, the text field moves to the very right on the printed page, while the rest of the contents of the MC stay centered. To clarify on the printed page I basically have this nice page with centered text, but the dynamic textfield is moved all the way to the right of the page.
View 1 RepliesI want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.

{
startDrag();

IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

View 2 RepliesI attempted to update to 4.0.1, there was some kind of error and now many things are messed up. Essentially because of missing DLLs, the irony being that I figured out the problem and it wasn't related to the update at all. Is there any way that I can revert back to version 4.0.0 manually? Because I still have the 4.0.0 folder with all the required dlls and such..
