i was wondering if it is possible to add your own packages into flash so that they will so up when writing AS code. e.g if i write import flash.display. it offers me the content of that package. i would find it extremely helpful and useful when learning new api?s, but they wont show up. i have heard about other programming environments that offer such functionality, but is there a way to get this in flash CS4
View 6 RepliesI'm just getting off the ground as an AS3 programmer and I'm having a lot of trouble getting Flash to recognize my packages. My intention is to keep a code library of all my AS3 source data and have Flash simply go fetch classes from there.
I have set Flash's source path to the following to accommodate my library:
C:Documents and Settings<username>My DocumentsMy DropboxCodeAS3src
However, when I attempt to include a class into a .fla, Flash gives me an error that it can't find the AS class files in the .fla's folder at compile time. So it seems to not be detecting the AS class files in the source path I have set.
Within src, the folders are structured as follows:
srcsivyrmap<AS classes here>
In my AS files themselves, I have written the package and class declarations as follows:
Code:
package sivyr.map {
// Includes
include "flash.display.Sprite"
[code]....
And when I write an include to grab one of these classes, I write it as:
Code:
include "sivyr.map.Grid"
I have a SWF with a custom cursor. When I test the SWF, the custom cursor works fine. When I directly access the SWF, on my website the cursor appears and functions fine. .
But when the SWF is in my HTML with CSS page, the cursor does not appear. I.E it is hidden. There is no cursor at all. My rollover functions seem to detect when the hidden cursor is over them.
Also, this is loaded with a external preloader, that was loaded by another SWF.
I have made a script for a custom cursor, but the only problem is that when I hover the cursor over a button, the button shows on top of it and the cursor hides underneath and you can't really see what you're trying to click.
Here is my script:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
cursor._x = _xmouse;
cursor._y = _ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
}
(The instance's name is "cursor")
i attached a custom contextmenu to a sprite. there is another sprite lying "on top" of this first one. so if i try to invoke the custom context menu of the first one, it does not show when the cursor is over the second one.
i already set the properties "mouseEnabled" and "mouseChildren" of the second one to "false"
I have set a custom context menu in a .swf, and I can see it normally when previewing it on flash (Test Movie).However, when I see it on my browser, I can't see the custom options (only the reduced context menu with settings and about macromedia...)On my first frame I have an actions layer with this (context + loader):
[AS]
root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Add to Favourites", itemHandler1))
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("send e-mail", itemHandler2));
[code]....
I'm running into a problem where for my current project I need to use a large custom mouse for interaction throughout a website. The custom mouse (a movieclip) works fine until the user needs to select a option from a ComboBox.The custom mouse clicks the component fine but once the ComboBox expands with it's options the custom mouse appears behind the expanded list.Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I'd really rather not create a 'custom' comboBox for this project as the material was already prepared and set in stone. ps:: i found this information below, but it was for AS3 and I need AS2 and in any case didn't do anything for my movie when i tried it.
Code:

myCursor.mouseEnabled = false;

I'm very new to Flash CS3 and have set myself the task of creating a flash based website, with the same functionality as [URL] creating the drop down menu - I believe I should be exploring rollovers/rollouts and also applying easing effects, however I have no idea what kind of actionscript to use.

View 7 RepliesI am a novice in ActionScript 3.0. I am trying to use the sample code from AS 3.0 tutorial but it return me an error "Packages cannot be nested". How can I fix it? Here's the sample code: fla file format.
[Code]...
I want to set them up with packages but tried before and failed.At the moment, I've made a folder,
C:/flash/mbl
In there, I have all my classes that I want to reuse. what do I do next? I'm using Flash CS3, would also be useful to know how to do the same in Flex Builder 3.
I almost have it, ( I think) but whenever I try to use a package with more than one class in it -- even the standard ones supplied in the ActionScript references, they don't work.And, if I have anything in the flash file other than an empty single frame, it breaks. So this precludes the use of library objects, which, if you CAN use them, saves a lot of coding time..

how to get this to work. So I have 2 .as files (ImageMain and FullScreenImage)And in the fla file I have a movieclip on stage called menu and this fla is linked to the ImageMain.as

When I run the " red" code I get the next error:1120: Access of undefined property menu. It looks like the imported FullScreenImage.as cannot acces the menu movieclip on the stage.
when i compile and run this code its give me this error 1037: Packages cannot be nested. how to fix this

I have made a script, and now has come the point when I need to use removechild. Whenever I try this I get an error. After looking at the problem, I think I need to learn more about scope and packages. I think if I put everything in the correct scope, I will be able to use the removechild command. I tried to make all my vars public, so that removechild would work, however I got an error that anything public needs to be in a package. I tried to add the package part to my script, but got the error that packages cant be nested. I tried some other things and still no luck, just more errors.
So, if anyone could point me to a tutorial, or recommend a book or something, that will help teach me about scope and packages, Or if you are feeling patient and generous, and you think you could explain this problem to a 5 year old, please explain it to me the way you would to said 5 year old. If you maybe think you can help me out on the script, it can be found here: [URL]
I'm brand new to AS 3.0, and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Basically, all I want to do is load in an external swf when a button is clicked. The swf to be loaded would be defined by a variable, rather than hardcoded. Sounds pretty simple, no?[code]....

I would like to know how can I install a library packages to a Flash project. I am using Adobe Flash CS4 and the library I'm trying to include is in AS3. The library can be found on [URL].
View 1 RepliesI've googled a lot trying to find how to properly import and use .swc files in Flash CS 4, tried lots of different methods but none seem to work.
What I've done is:
1. Placed it in my "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents" folder. It does however not show up in the component inspector.
2. Added it in Publishing Settings as a Library and External Library, still can't seem to use it.
I've also tried adding
"import org.osflash.signals;"
After each method but I receive the error
"1172: Definition org.osflash:signals could not be found."
So what I'm asking for is an easy way to get the .swc package working code-wise with all classes imported etc. The .swc file is as you may have guessed as3signals.
I'm teaching myself actionScript 3.I'm having some difficulty knowing which packages / classes to import from the flash core.I'm still a little shaky on the terminology but I mean these statements at the start of the main AS file.
import flash.display.Sprite;
Are there any good references / cheatsheets that describe what each flash.example.example provides? At least for commonly used packages.
this is the URL of the language reference website I have been using for Flash/AIR: [URL]Is this URL the correct one I should be using when I need to look up a class or method or property or something like that? Because it does not match up with what actually shows up in the Flash IDE when I type an import statement. Most of the packages match up but not all.
For instance, the reference URL has a fl.events package, and so do I locally, but my package seems to be missing lots of classes from it that the reference URL shows. This leads me to believe I don't have the latest SDK's or SWC's or whatever I need installed, whether they be Flash, Flex, Air, etc.Also, I have a few packages locally that don't show up in the reference URL. Things like "flash.debugger" and "flash.trace", they are not my custom classes, not sure where they came from.
Lastly, there are certain AIR classes missing, and I'm sure this is because I don't have the latest AIR SDK installed. I did find it and download it, just not sure how to download it.
1) Is the above URL the one I should be using? If not, is there a better definitive location for Flash/AIR language reference that is updated and always has the latest and greatest info?
2) I have the latest AIR sdk on my desktop, how do I install it? (I'm using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6)
3) How can I make sure that what I see in that reference URL is what shows up in my code hinting when I type import statements in the Actions Panel? Basically I just want to make sure I am all up to date so everything is showing and working the way it should be. For instance, I am missing a ton of fl classes (containers, controls, core, data, etc.) I want to get these in place so my local copies are synchronized as close as possible with the reference. Documentation doesn't help much when you don't have the tools it tells you to use...
4) Take the fl.ik package for instance. Locally, I have available all the classes in the reference URL that I should, plus a bunch more that aren't there.
