As below seen in the code, I have created two objects from one object in the library. When you click on them , the trace says object sample_mc for both. So how can I check it in the code if multiple objects are from same resource in the library...

I've created an application that includes a number of Modules and uses Parsley framework. Ant is used to build the application.Recently I thought of using Resource Bundles and implemented it in the system by creating a locale/en_US folder under the src. I added a portal.properties file with all my strings defined.In my modules, I added the metadata
<fx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("portal")]
</fx:Metadata>
In the ant build file, I added the below lines within mxmlc.
<locale>@{locale}</locale>
<source-path path-element="${myapp.flex.app.locale}/{locale}"/>
<include-resource-bundles>portal</include-resource-bundles>
The build works fine and when I deploy the application and open it in my browser, I'm greeted with many errors thrown by the Flash player.But if I dismiss the messages, its working fine. My strings are replaced with the values in the property file, but how do I stop the runtime errors being thrown up?I get the below error.
Error: Unable to load resource module from portal at MethodInfo-637()at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

This is one of the first real things i tried creating using actionscript. I wanted to create a flash version of Conway's game of life ( [URL] ). I got it working succesfully in flash but it's turning out to be a huge resource hog . If i put it one a 100*100 grid it freezes up my computer. i uploaded a temporary version that's supposed to run at 25fps, but as you can see it runs alot slower:[URL] is there any way i can improve my code to make it run faster? Am i using a wrong method to draw the cells? here's the code (all located on the first frame of the root timeline)

I have an resource ( embed image ) which i need to retrieve by it's name. How to do that ?
While we have a dedicated AS3 forum, we know that a lot of Flex 2 users will cross back and forth across forums because while Flex's core scripting is MXML, it fully supports AS3 as well so it's confusing sometimes what forum to post in and who is best suited to offer help. A lot of topics have been covered in the last 6-8 months at a lot of the more well known guru sites and popular blogs and as we get going we will link up anything that might be of use to users in here.Url...

View 1 RepliesHow do I save a resource like "something.rar" from the web, like when it is located on a regular web page?
View 2 RepliesSome places in my flex app, I use ResourceManager.getInstance().getString, and other places I use mxml @Resource tag to retrieve resource properties dynamically loaded from ResourceManager. resourceManager.loadResourceModule(resourceModuleURL); But only strings from ResourceManager.getInstance().getString show proper locale based values, while the @Resource tag only returns values from en_US resource. I guess it is because en_US is what I compiled with (-locale=en_US ). So I am wondering if I am using a dynamicly-loaded resource, do I have to abandon the @Resource tag and use ResourceManager.getInstance().getString ?
View 1 RepliesI haven't been here for a while but as a resource of excellent ideas I am back to ask something that I feel you guys would know about.I am a teacher thinking of going self employed and I want to set up an online business charging for access to resources I create myself online to any students that would be interested.I can figure out how to set up password protected areas on my website where access is given when payment is made.
Of course this is for a limited period, say a week and then the password would automatically and randomly change.
I would give the password to those that had paid for access for the agreed period for access.As I aim to have more than one person at a time, this needs to be self regulating. Is this at all possible?Online teaching resource not exactly flash related!
Hopefully this is a straight forward question but as far as resources when compiling a flash project is flash more cpu dependent or gpu dependent? Trying to spec out a machine and need to determine what flash is going to use more.
View 1 RepliesI want to store some test data for a FlexUnit test in small XML files in my Flex project, and access them trivially for the flex test. How can I load these bits of data synchronously? HTTPService is the way I'd be loading them _a_synchronously, but adding event handlers to my test cases seems like a bit of overkill.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a generic flash navigation. I'd like to allow people to use their own fonts like sIFR. I know i can just create a swf file with a font embedded but i'd like to make it as easy as possible for someone to swap fonts so an existing method of creating a swf font file would be preferred.
View 3 RepliesI'm usually creating 1 .as file per font and exports these .as files to swf's that I load in to my flash projects. This way I can choose what characters to embed. Now I tested copying my verdana ttf fontfiles from my Windows font folder and embedded this to create a Verdana swf fontfile. When I tested running this I tried with some swedish characters with dots. The dots above the characters from some of these characters was positioned slightly offset (like a few pixels to the right or left). Anyone had the same problem?
Example code:
[Embed(source = 'fontfiles/verdana.ttf', fontName = 'Verdana', mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", unicodeRange = 'U+00-U+FF')]
public static var font:Class;
public function Verdana() {
Font.registerFont(font);

I am using Adobe Flash Builder 4.
I've run into this issue with my latest project, but I was able to re-create it with an almost empty project. Here is what I've done.
Created a new Flex Project Created a locale/en_US folder within this project. Added a class that extends SparkDownloadProgressBar. All this class does is attempt to create a Label.
When I try to debug this application, I get the following error.
Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'components' for locale 'en_US'.
at mx.resources::ResourceManagerImpl/installCompiledResourceBundle()[E:dev4.0.0frameworksprojectsframeworksrcmx
esourcesResourceManagerImpl.as:340]

The Flex Compiler/Additional Compiler Arguments section does contain "-locale en_US", but I do not want to just remove this as I am planning to have this load different property files based on the localization region at run-time and how I understand it, I will need to add each locale that I am planning to use on the compile argument line.
In the simplest of Flex Projects, create an MXML Flex Module and then load it using the ModuleManager.Create an ActionScript class that extends Module and then configure your project to compile that into a Module.Load this new module instead. The project compiles, but crashes when running with the following error:"Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'containers' for locale 'en_US'."I believe the compiler is failing to compile the required class definitions into ActionScript only module, while it succeeds for the MXML module.I can see that my skeleton MXML module is slightly larger than my ActionScript module (66KB vs. 45KB).

I have a situation where I am trying to build a path to an xml node like this:
Code:
var personName:Object = ["xmLoader.xmlData.profilepage.p"]+num+[".p1name"];
Where "num" is a number passed into to the function. What is happenning is when I trace out personName after this code I get:
"xmLoader.xmlData.profilepage.p2.p1name"
instead of the value that resides at that node name (I can trace out p1name which is John from my processed xml earlier in the code).
find a template or some resource that can make a scrolling background, with buttons floating. Example here: http:[url]....I want to make something similar, but I am told by my coder that its a big job to code it from scratch, is there anything already made out there, that I can use as a template?
View 1 RepliesI have a need for a blocking call that involves loading resources. How is this typically achieved in AS3? I know the standard process is to use callbacks and what not, but in this particular case I really do want a blocking call. I tried a tight loop and the resource loading doesn't seem to ever interrupt - I assume this is a result of Flash's single thread execution...
View 9 RepliesI'm writing a flex application that polls an xml file on the server to check for updated data every few seconds, and I'm having trouble preventing it from caching the data and failing to respond to it being updated.
I've attempted to set headers using the IIS control panel to use the following, without any luck:
CacheControl: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
I've also attempted adding a random HTTP GET parameter to the end of the request URL, but that seems like it's stripped off by the HttpService class before the request is made. Here's the code to implement it:
http.url = "test.xml?time=" + new Date().getMilliseconds();
And here's the debug log that makes me think it failed:
(mx.messaging.messages::HTTPRequestMessage)#0
body = (Object)#1
clientId = (null)

I have set up a project (in the same way I have numerous projects before) that uses a seperate fonts SWF to provide the fonts to my project. Once loaded I register these fonts to the global font directory using Font.registerFont(). My text styles come from an externally loaded style sheet.
For some reason that I cannot figure out, when I try to create a textField and use my embedded fonts the text disapears from screen. If when creating the textField I set embedFonts to false then the text does appear at the right size and colour (as taken from the stylesheet), but obviously with a default system font where my nice custom font should be.
The code I am using is below:
TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts();
TTWTextHelper.traceStyleSheet(myStyleSheet);
var myText = new TextField;
[code]....
I know that (apparently) my fonts are embeded as when I run TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts() i get the two fonts listed.
public static function traceAvailableFonts():void
{

My swf is being served via http protocol. I don't really see this being easily changed. There's a resource that a website has opened up via their api that I need to access but it is using https protocol. Because of this my swf can't access the resource because of security settings.
Option 1 would be to serve my swf via https. I can't do this at the moment.
Option 2 would be set secure="false" property of the cross domain policy file. I can't do this, I dont have access.
Is there any way in action script to list all the keys (not values) of given resource bundle.My use case is to combine content of two different resource bundle. I wan to do this by creating a new resource bundle at runtime and add each key value pair from two different resource bundles into one.
View 1 RepliesI'm developping a gameplay concept using AS3 Fisix engine in which I need for a pendulum to be frictionless. The idea is to define the head and tail positions (using the Fisix's Rope resource) by mouse clicking and dragging in the screen and let the pendulum swing so that it goes forth and gets back to its starting position without losing momentum, and keep doing this repeatedly.
So far, I managed to make the pendulum swing normally but still being affected by friction and gravity (it keeps moving until got totally still, like a real-life pendulum would do). After many trial-and-error experimentations, I realized that I couldn't find any obvious parameter to work with, either in FisixEngine instance or in the Rope object itself, which allows me to remove or disable the friction from the simulation so that the frictionless behavior could be achieved.
I embed a text file into my Flex project and read its contents using code like this:[code]The contents of the file is abc. The problem is that the string loaded from the file is not comparable to other strings even though when printed or viewed in the debugger (in FlashDevelop) it seems to be perfectly fine.[code]How do I convert it into a proper string? I tried to use the string methods such as substring to create a copy, but that does not seem to be the solution.
View 1 RepliesI have some audio streaming resources on my HTTP server, let's sayI did design a flash player for playing it.Their player will try to reload that resource until it's available.This makes a lots of stress to my HTTP server. To stop them from hamming my server, I want to allow access only from my flash player. Strangely, I think in this case, flash player should check the crossdomain.xml first before load my audio resource, but they didn't. They just load the sound and play. The corssdomain.xml is not even there. I try to add one, it doesn't work as well

I'm having the following problem when I'm loading a swf inside a swfloader. That thing is that this subapp has a config file, and when this config file is being accessed by the subapp it throws an Security error (#2148).I thought it was the crossdomain.xml file, but it has no reestrictions:
I suppose that the subapp is trying to access a config file that is in the swf parent server insted of trying to access its own file in the server where it is installed; how to make this swfloader access its own data,
Currently, I have a requirement need to get the full resource path in runtime, IF POSSIBLE.Here is an example: I have a action script and using a MovieClip resource. Now, I have a action script variable ctrlVar that is pointing to a child control , whose id is, for example, contorl1. And the real path I can find from fla file should be, for example, parent1.parent2.parent3.control1. And every parentX is a id ( not a type ).
View 1 RepliesI have 3 flvs, that are rather big in dimension, that I am using as backgrounds. When I use any of these flvs my movie works fine but when I switch to a new background my movie takes a big hit in performance. I am guessing this has something to do with the garbage collection in as3 because i explicitly get rid of the old background. What is the best way to cycle through multiple flvs without loosing performance?
Heres code I am using to switch backgrounds
removeChild(theBackground);
theBackground = null;
theBackground = assetLoader.getBackground(level);
addChildAt(theBackground,1);
