I'd like to give someone else the FLA to recompile SWF's, but the libraries I'm using are spread out in many places (Tween libraries, custom libraries, etc), and would be somewhat arduous to package cleanly to include with the FLA. compile the imported libraries into the FLA somehow?

I have been pulling my hair out over the past hour into why my code will not work and i really don't see why not but it clearly isn't so i require help on two things:
#1 Flash trace call will not show data i ask for.
My Script
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

#2 How do i add this data (once it works!) to a dynamic text box called tTOTD?
i'm a very new user to flex (never use flex, nor flashbuilder, nor action script before), but i want to learn this langage because of the beautiful RIA and chart it can do.I watched the video on adobe : 1 hour to build your first program but i'm stuck :
On the video it says that we have to provide a PHP class for accessing data and i used the example that flash builder gave (with zend framework and mysqli). I never used those ones and it makes a lot to learn if i count zen + mysqli.My question is : can i use a PHP class like this one ? What does flash builder except in return ? i hear that was automatic.example it may be wrong, i'm not very familiar with classes when acessing to database :
<?php
class DBConnection {
protected $server = "localhost";[code]..........
I have a chart in Flex 4 with a LineSeries with a curve form. Is there a way to get a corresponding y value (along the curve) by providing an x value?

It is fully finished and before the site was finished we discussed charges for updates. They just requested the source files. We had never discussed this, and I do not want to give away my source files and all of my code. What is standard? Am I wrong to have them go through me for updates since this is what was discussed?
View 8 RepliesWe can obviously provide embed code to users such as.[code]which is what every (ok, so not every, but the vast majority) video sharing site does (YouTube, Break, Vimeo etc).However, somebody's pointed out that we could also provide a JavaScript embed link as follows:[code]What's the disadvantage of the JS embed option? The advantage is obvious, it's a nicer URL for the user, less characters to place in their site. I'm worried about security here, as somebody who doesn't know JavaScript; is this an inherently insecure way of doing things? And if the JavaScript URL is fine, how come none of the well-known sites do it?
View 2 RepliesWhat are the best practices for providing dynamic content within a flash site? I am trying to get my head around the idea and I am not sure how to think about this. Are there sites that use a graphic frontend for updating flash content? If so, what is the common way of doing this? XML? PHP+XML+SQL? etc. I am relatively new to all of this but I have been messing with Flash and XML. I can update stuff on my site by just modifying the XML but I want to go a step further now and create a frontend on the web where people could do this.
View 3 RepliesWhen I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.
I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text "Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <file path> [SWF] <file path> - 71984 bytes after decompression" and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn't tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).
I have a pure AS3 project. I use Ant to build it. Here is a part of my ant script:

The problem is that my resulting SWF is really big. When I checked what is inside I saw that it has mx.* libs from Flex. Why it is like this? How to kick mx.* from my SWF? In my code I don't use anything from mx.* library.
I know it's possible to import libraries of other .fla files. but is it also possible to import them in such a way, that if you make changes to that .fla library, all the other .fla files that have imported that library will also have those changes?
View 1 RepliesI currently have a "container SWF player" that loads SWFs externally and plays them.The sound file for the SWF is in the library of the container SWF player, because the player is using the duration of the sound file to determine how long the scrubber bar goes.The problem is, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a container SWF player if I have to create a different container SWF player file for each external SWF because there's a different sound for each external SWF.Is there a way to pull the sound file from the library of the externally loaded SWF into the container SWF player?So that depending on what external SWF is playing, it will pull the associated MP3 file from that SWF's library?

View 4 RepliesI'm looking to build a website that has a flash interface and allows visitors to upload vector art in a number of file formats such as SVG, EPS and AI.
I have two rather large problems...
1) I need to load the original vector art, probably convert it to FLV and display it in my flash application.
2) After the user potentially loads a number of images, adds some text, rotates or transforms some elements, I need to save the resulting composition into a vector art format that I can print.
I'm not much of an AS developer...my experience is mostly in .NET/C# & C++. I'm looking for a good library or API that provides the functionality I will need to convert different image formats and save the results. How much of this can be done using Flash / AS...? How much in C#...?
I couldn't find any documentation or license information or copyright stuff regarding this texture. my question is whether i'm allowed to use this (and modify it) in my project and/or what i have to/can do. the person who wrote the "tutorial" is a PhD professor at some university, so i didn't want to contact her but rather ask here first.

Can I do this in flash or do I have to do it in php?
View 2 RepliesQuite new still to AS3 so if someone can help me out, or point in the right direction,Stage size is set to 750 wide x 440 high and my hi res image is 1500 wide x 880 high. image is called mcImage.The hi res image on the stage that is scaled down to 50% on both X and Y axes.I have a zoom in button, a zoom out button and a reset button. All do pretty much what their name suggests.When you zoom in, it adjusts the Z axes of mcImage to make the image appear larger on the stage. So far so good.I then get the new co-ordinates of X and Y by using the localToGlobal feature and record them in a variable, passing them to the mouse Handler for the dragging of the image.The issue is, whatever I try in startDrag(); does not limit the size of the dragable image, nothing happens, though I am expecting it to allow me to drag the image around within it's boundary!I am sure that the code can be tidied up, but I am still learning a lot about AS3 and trying my hardest.

View 2 RepliesAre there any custom libraries available that allow me to code/publish in CS3 using some of the features of CS4?
EDIT: I say "some", because I understand that it is obviously nearly impossible to reimplememnt CS4 in CS3.
I am making an AS3 project in FB4. In our workflow, we have artists compile art into SWC files which the I then link as 'Referenced Libraries' in FB4. Then I set the "Link Type" of the SWC files to "external" instead of merged into code. This should create SWFs corresponding to the SWC files in the output folder, right?
This doesn't seem to be the case. I am only seeing one SWF file: the main_app's.I was trying to make it so that I can use a library manager to load the files dynamically.I tried extracting the swfs manually, but it seems the main_app still compiles all the swcs to itself. I made sure the Link Type was set to external. The file size for the main_app between "external" and "merged to code" seem to be the same.
I have a doubt on Flex unit. Unit test cases are really required for flex application for displaying data.
View 1 RepliesI realize a JavaScript library like jQuery that is specific to the HTML / DOM wouldn't work nor make sense in a Flash ActionScript application. But what about other JavaScript libraries? I was reading that ActionScript is a superset of JavaScript / ECMAScript which is what got me wondering. If it wouldn't use JavaScript libraries "out of the box" could a JavaScript library be adapted relatively easily? Also, does ActionScript support XMLHttpRequest or have a rough equivalent?
