I have written code to draw a rectangle around each movieclip on the stage when the user clicks a "Show Hotspots" button in the movie. However, when the user (me in this instance) clicks the button a second time, I want those drawn rectangles to disappear. How do I clear a rectangle that is created through code?
View 4 RepliesI have the following AS code to draw a single rectangle using mouse, but I need a different code that allows drawing multiple rectangles and the selection/exclusion of individual rectangles like a modeling tool (eg.: MS Visio).
View 2 RepliesI got some simple code for a click-based tween animation on another site. as it is now it animates a target clip to the location you click. How could you assign different destinations for, say, 4 objects, each assigned to a different button.ie button 1: animate the 4 elements to location set 1 button 2: animate the 4 elements to location set 2and so on...

Flash components (such as CheckBox, ComboBox, ScrollPanel and the like) are tremendously buggy.As an average, for every hour of normal coding with ActionScript, I spend 3 extra hours designing workarounds, tweaks and hacks to fix unexpected behaviors due to bugs in the components (when I don't use components, it is just 1 hour of extra work designing workaround,tweaks and hacks to fix unexpected behavior due to bugs in the flash player and/or AIR runtime for every hour of normal work).As far as I know the components(runtime) behavior is entirely coded in ActionScript, and searching my hard disk I've found what seem to be the source code in places such as
C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponent SourceActionScript 3.0.For example, source code for the classes belonging to the fl.controls package appears to be located at
C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponent SourceActionScript 3.0User Interfaceflcontrols
So I thought I may have a look at that source code and see if I could be able to find the source of some particular issue and maybe even correct it.I know the risks.But after modifying,for example,ComboBox.as in the abovementioned folder, simply adding some dummy trace()s just to see if it worked, it doesn't seem to work. I created a fla file, placed a ComboBox and tested it, but I cannot see the trace printout I added. I did "delete ASO files" but nothing changed.So how do I tell Flash to recompile the components?
I got the AS code for a really cool particle fountain and modded it to use it for the animation of a popcorn machine. It turned out really great. The only thing I didn't care for was that the particles were balls. It worked fine on a small graphic but now i want to make a larger scale version and wanted to make the sprites actual pieces of popcorn.Here's the code I'm using so far:
Define the gravity.
This determines how fast the balls are pulled down.

View 2 Repliescould anyone help me modify the code for these checkbox components? right now, the SUBMIT button checks which ones of the checkboxes are checked and gets their label, then writes the appropriate labels in a dynamic text box.[code]For the program I am doing, I need to have a maximum of 6 checkmarks and each one of the checked label must go into its own variable. (see gray part of the swf) I would also like the labels to appear in the right order, right now it's inversed.

Is there a way to add a grid of rectangles together so that you can get a "container" rectangle (the bounds) of all the rectangles put together?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.
I'm building an app whereby the user can upload an image and place it onstage amongst other images. They then finally save out the resulting composite image as a jog. I have all this working, however, I'm looking for a way to allow the user to manipulate the colour of their uploaded image so it blends better with the others, I'm imaging, by means of a slider or somethiing.

I would like to embed a css file using
[Embed(source = 'mystyle.css', mimeType = 'text/css')]

but 'text/css' is not a supported transcoder. Is there a list of transcoders that someone can point me to? I really just need it to read plain text but 'text/plain' is not available either.
I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.
I have a TextField component that has some text added during the movie. This textfield has html set to true. The text that I am passing to it has html tags.
I want to copy the plain text that is displayed during the movie from the textfield to the clipboard without the html tags.
I have an external HTML atI want it loaded into Flash as plaint text so I parse it manually.Seems simple enough, but I can't find anything online.
View 8 RepliesIs there a way to extract plain text from a PDF file using ActionScript?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to create a plain text file with AS3 or AIR?
example: i would like to create a plain text file named "MyTextFile.txt", have it contain text that reads "This is my text file." and save it to my desktop.
another option would be to have the file already exist in a directory, so i would only have to rewrite its contents - assuming that would be easier.
all of which should happen as a background process, without any save dialoge panel appearing.
I've been playing with an xml feed for a semi-useful class (which I'll post when it's done)....but I've run into a small problem.The XML feed doesn't send me HTML content, it only sends text. So a node that should read.Url...So I need to work out some way of recreating these links from a text only feed. Before I give myself a headache and attempt to create a class that searches each line of text for "http://" and then searches for the next space in the text, does anyone know if this has already been done? Is there a class out there that can look at normal text and convert bits that are web addresses into links? If not, can anyone think of a more efficient way to do it than searching the text for "http://" and then looking for the next space?

When I try to load text from XML into a text field any leading line breaks or spaces are ignored. For example:

I'm making a top view zombie survival game in AS3. I want to spawn the enemies in waves defined by "frames", or the difference between a bigger rectangle and a smaller one within it, like a picture frame. Right now here is my code, which is pretty inefficient. I was wondering if there was a better way. This code doesn't work right either, all the enemies spawn in the bottom right of the screen:

var outer:Rectangle = Waves.WAVE_ONE_RECTANGLE_2;[code]....
In CSS, we have a box model to define how border, margin, padding, and fill contribute to the total width and height of a rectangle. I'm porting some of my HTML/CSS design into Flash and can't quite figure out what Flash's box model is. In Flash, I've created a rectangle with gradient fill and a non-scaling 1 pixel stroke. I'm trying to get pixel-perfect positioning and sizing, but the experience has been unpredictable. I'm not really seeing a pattern to the following questions. The answer really changes depending on the exact circumstances.
When you set x and y both to be 0, where does the border lay? Is it off the screen? Is it being cut in half by the origin? Or is it completely visible?When you set width to 100, is the fill 98 wide or 100 wide?What happens to the 1px thick border when the rectangle is not positioned at whole number coordinates?
Example:
var sh:Shape = new Shape();
sh.graphics.lineStyle(1.0, 0x00FF00, 1.0, false, LineScaleMode.NONE);
sh.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1.0);
sh.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);

I tried to create a 100x100 square at x:10, y:10. When I measured the total width and height in Photoshop, it came out to be 101x101.One would either expect the final dimensions to be 100x100 (border on inside) or 102x102 (border on outside).
I have been learning how to draw rectangles. How would I draw a grid of rectangles so each is separated by some spacing? For example 4 col x 3 rows.
View 9 RepliesI created a small rectangle and made it into a symbol movie clip. then I went inside of it and added a small 100x100 image on the left side along with a description of the image on the right side filling up the rest of the space.
I now want to somehow put it in a container that will automatically add a vertical scrollbar on the right side and somehow add more rectangles on top of each other. perhaps the scroll bar wont be initially on the screen until the container fills to have more than 5 rectangles in it or so.
Is there a component I can extend somehow to add this kind of functionality or does one already exist that I can use?
