ActionScript 3.0 :: Re-render A MovieClip?
Jun 3, 2010
I create a backGround MovieClip object and assign to it a MovieClip from my library.I use addChild to add it to the display list.This is the background for my movie.At some point later on, I want to change that background.If I simply assign a different MovieClip to backGround, nothing changes when I run the movie.I thought there was some method I could invoke that would re-render the backGround MovieClip, but I can't find anything.
I can simply add it again, but that seems like a waste of memory.I've done a removeChild, updated backGround, then addChild'ed it again, but that seems a little klunky.Isn't there some way to update backGround in place without having to remove it and re-add it?

I am using a html parser [URL].. to render several tables into a movieclip.My problem is: as it takes some time to render, the only one actually being added to the movieclip is the last one. I would use a timer, but that means I would need to call a function, and I am using a "for" loop to build the movielips. Is there a way to say "wait for x seconds before continuing processing" in ActionScript3?

I want to render a movieclip into a bitmap, and then chop the bitmap up into pieces (a grid). Ultimately I want this to result in an explosion but right now I'm working through the code that creates the grid of bitmaps. The test movieclip I created is a square with some straight lines and swirly colors, in order to make it really obvious whether I'm rendering the bitmaps accurately. I'm working just in the Flash IDE, and my movieclip (mc) is in the Library.

I have a flash project that's implementing a simple two player game. I have added an enterFrame function to my main movie which listens for keyboard activity in order to move a cowboy gunslinger. Whenever the cowboy moves, I send a message over a socket to a server which dispatches the movement to the other connected client. This works pretty well, however, the movement messages tend to arrive in clumps which results in jumpy animation of my cowboy on my opponents screen and jumpy animation of his cowboy on my screen. To illustrate, i put a trace in my enterFrame function because I am imagining that this function will run roughly once each time my main movie renders the screen. I also put a trace statement in my function that responds to network traffic and moves the remote player's cowboy on my screen.
Here's the output:
enter frame:4
enter frame:4
enter frame:4
client movePlayer running
client movePlayer running
client movePlayer running
[Code] .....
As you can see, I'll get several messages in a row from the remote client which instruct me to move their cowboy ('client MovePlayer running') and they will all run in a row before the screen updates. I'm guessing I should be using something like updateAfterEvent but this method is only provided by Mouse, Timer, and Keyboard events.
So a few questions:
1) Can someone recommend a good approach to force a screen render each time an incoming movePlayer event arrives over the socket? It's important to note that my function for handling these events has no visibility to the original socket data event.
2) Am I right in understanding that the enterFrame function of my main movie happens once each time my movie is rendered? Is there some more accurate event to which I could attach a trace message so that I better understand the relative frequency of the render events and the socket events?
3) Does firing an updateAfterEvent call force onEnterFrame events to happen more frequently? I'm worried about destroying performance by inadvertently firing more enterFrames which would fire more socket events which would fire more enterFrames, etc., etc.

I'm new to Flash authoring, and something seems puzzling. I see that it is possible in Flash to render an animation (project) to AVI or MOV video formats, and it seems to work fine (although you can't choose your AVI codec,
which seems like a trivial feature to put in. Is there a way to render a Flash animation to FLV? I am working on a project that will play FLV video files inside an FLV player object (SWF object). I would like to create FLVs from inside Flash, using the nifty animation tools and whatnot, and have them play in the same manner as the other FLV videos created by other tools (e.g., FinalCut Pro edited video). I realize the FLV is video

I'm working on a project at the moment where the client uses an off-the-shelf Flash library to display data against a map. It's a SWF that we feed some XML data and it renders it in various ways, such as a map of the UK with each county represented with a different colour depending on the data we feed it.
As it's an off the shelf, we only have the SWF, no means to edit the Flash file.
We need to make the reports universally printable from the browser. The idea was to have a container SWF that used the BitmapData methods on it to effectively do a screengrab of what the map ("child") SWF is showing and render it in the page as the image generated for printing(i.e only showing the image in the print stylesheet).

Is it possible to render a pdf in a browser using PERL? What I have is a flash application that sends the rendered pdf binary to perl. The pdf is generated from AlivePDF.
#!C:Perlinperl.exe
##
BEGIN { $ENV{PATH} = ''; delete @ENV{ 'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'}; }
use strict;

This is only part of the displayed file, but I hope this helps. I don't want the code to display, I want it to look graphical. If I download this file, and change the extension to .pdf, it works perfectly.

How would you render a BitmapFilter (such as DropShadowFilter) applied to a sprite, to a seperate BitmapData Layer? which would then be placed beneath all objects.For instance if you have two rectangular sprites overlapping each other, with a DropShadowFilter applied to each, the result would be the filter overlaying and obscuring the other rectangular sprite - as shown below.
note: each filter may have different settings and so I cant just apply a uniform filter to a containing sprite. also: ideally this solution will be scalable to handle many animated sprites at the same time.

I'm trying to have an attached movieclip in code render in an avi file. I Googled this before, but its tough to find since its a really specific issue.
For example, if I place a clip on the stage manually, it will of course render when I export it to an avi. But when I have something placed with code it does not. I really want to use the coded movieclips. Is there a remedy for this?

I have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.

My Flex chart has code that creates a legend from each data series. Currently, I have the drawLegend function execute when a button is clicked.
I am trying to get the legend to draw automatically but I am having trouble determining when to call the drawLegend function. Users click on an 'Update' button which retrieves data. I want the legend to get created after this, without the users having to click on another button.
I have put my drawLegend function in several places (ResultHandler, afterEffectEnd(for chart animation, etc.) and nothing works.
Sometime after the series has been added to the chart and after the series animation ends, the legend can be added.
How can I trap this point in time and call my function?
Below is the code I used to create the legend. Note that even though the code processes each series, I noticed that the Fill color is null if it is called too early.
private function drawLegend(event:Event):void {
clearLegend();
// Use a counter for the series.

I know this question was asked before, but none of the solutions work properly. How do I render a basic html in flex 4 without an iframe? I saw textarea renders some weird format that would suffice if it would work. For example I wan't to add an image like this
[Code]...
then 1. I press enter 2. I add the image again like above, I get the img tag inserted 10 times or so; which is weird (but not funny at all). All things being equal, html is a much normal approach, is there a basic renderer for flex 4 that works ok?

I have a huge code execution with many loops and pre-rendering processes and I was wondering if there is a way to tell the flash player to take a little pause on the code side and do a render.
Basically I have my execusion that takes a while, and on each step I make a call to a screen and then modify the scale of a loading bar. Now the problem is that the user only sees the progress at the end, I know this is due to the fact that flash does code execution and then render, i tried to make calls to stage.invalidate to force a render but it wouldnt work until the whole execusion if finished either. Is there a way to force flash to render between two lines of code?
