ActionScript 3.0 :: Way Of Building A Hierarchical Site / Presentation
Apr 2, 2011
I just recently moved on from tinkering with AS2 to tinkering with AS3. I was wondering what are some of the most useful code libraries and such that make your life easier? For example's sake, take GreenSock's awesome tools, TweenMax and so forth. What would be the best way of building a hierarchical site/presentation with AS3? Meaning a site structured like this, one page having as many subpages to navigate to as you want (probably just three or four levels in the end, structured in XML)

I am trying to build an online teach tool that shows a presentation/slideshow. It needs to have the ability to track and make sure users are staying through the whole process. The client used this example to show me what they were looking for visually:[URL] Now, I let them know that with a flash video, there would really be no way to do any sort of tracking. What I envision is creating a multi page slideshow which has you click next for the next page. This "next" button would use some sort of javascript to enable the next button after a specified amount of time. A person would be logged in during this, so every-time the person moves on to next slide, I would track their process in the database. My question is, is there any better ways to do this tracking. Also, doing simple animations like cursor movements etc, can really only be accomplished well by using flash I assume? They mentioned using voice over etc.

I need help building a site entirely on Flash from scratch. I am a beginner at the software, I know what most tools do, I know how to create basic tweens and stuff, but well, all in all, I'm a beginner. I know absolutely nothing on Action Script (be it 2 or 3), and I want very much to learn Flash now. To do so, I want to put online a portfolio site for me. I already know Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects quite well, so I think now's the time to give it a shoot. On to business:
1. So, first, what size should it be? I wanted it to be something around 1024 x 768 maybe? Is it possible to set an adapative resolution for the site? (I don't know if that's the correct term, what I meant is that the site changes resolution according to the users who are accessing it.)
2. I heard that if you don't use ActionScript to animate things, the site gets mega heavy. Is that true? What should I use ActionScript for when building this website?
3. Is it possible to organize the loading priorities? As in, the order in which things load, so that the site gets a bit more dynamic allocating the user's connection?
4. Are there global standards for Flash-based websites?
For now, I guess this is it. I'm starting this project today, so I'm still not quite sure what other doubts may pop up.

I am looking for a base to work on a presentation. I am using flash cs4. I know little of actionscript only so i just wondered if there are any template where i can just manage my content to make the presentation instead of coding from scratch. Is there any good site for downloading free flash presentation template?

I am building a site in Flash CS4 with AS3. I have one problem, and it seems to me that there are solutions everywhere for that it's just that I don't know how to solve it and implement it. I have 2 swf files. One is preloader and the other is main swf with the whole site. I use this preloader swf to avoid white screen because I have some scripts exporting to the 1st frame. In the main swf I have a single frame (index_mc) containg everything on stage. I am using Lightbox script and it is exported to the first frame. Beside that script I am using some scrollbar script. The problem is that I get #1009 error

I am a newbe to Flash and I have built a flash file that ends up with user input fields which write data to my 1shoppingcart autoresponder. From 1shoppingcart I got the HTML code to capture my website visitors name, email & phone number.
<form name="form1" method="post" action="[URL]">
<input name="merchantid" type="hidden" id="merchantid" value="111555">
<input name="ARThankyouURL" type="hidden" id="ARThankyouURL" value="[URL]">
<input name="copyarresponse" type="hidden" id="copyarresponse" value="1">
<input name="custom" type="hidden" id="custom" value="0">
[Code] .....
When I try to submit the information from my new flash website it does not work and when I did a trace on the application all of my variables seem to be working correctly but not in the same sequence as I had added them to the Actionscript. The only other difference on the trace is at the end of the correct post I get the following fields.
bh_is
bh_fv
bh_fx
bh_iw

how can I refresh the displayed data in a Datagrid when the underlying ArrayCollection changes?
<nmoschitz:dataProvider>
<mx:HierarchicalData source="{arrCol_groupedData}"
childrenField="accounts"/>
</nmoschitz:dataProvider>
Calling a simple refresh (like with a simple arraycollection as a dataprovider, or with a refresh on the Grouping Collection) does not work. Also re-assigning the arrayCollection to the Hierarchical Data and then assigning this one again to the Datagrid does not work (even with calling invalidateProperties() or validateNow()).

I have an AdvancedDataGrid with a HierarchicalCollectionView as its dataProvider. When I view the grid with the dataset I'm working with, and click the header of the column I wish to sort on, everything works perfectly. It sorts it hierarchically exactly how I would expect it to.What I want to do now is have the grid already be sorted when it is shown to the user. Is there a way to do this programatically? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this, and clearly it's possible since the AdvancedDataGrid has this built in.[code]This appears to do something as far as sorting goes, but it doesn't sort it in the same way as clicking the column header. "startDate" is a property of an object in theDataSource by the way.

I will implement this myself if I can't find it but after 30 minutes of searching on the web I'm a bit surprised this doesn't exist. Basically what I need is a hierarchical list component like the finder app on mac. I want the same functionality as a tree component but displayed as each level having it's own list resulting in multiple lists that depend on each other.

I've written lots of hierarchical menus in AS2, am happy with XML, recursion and the Compound design pattern.owever, I'm about to built my first AS3 menu system, and what I want to know is where do people usually add their event listeners? Should I be adding them on each menu item, or just one on the whole menu system, and use event bubbling to capture and respond to clicks, rollouts, etc.

As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?

Scenario 1: Within some 3D container object, I would like to add two Cubes: one without any transformation, and one with small position, rotation and scale adjustments. After adding those two cubes, I would like to also transform the container's position, rotation and scale.
Scenario 2: In a 3D character's body, it consists of many hierarchical children (and subchildren), each having various transformations over the course of an animation.
How do I calculate these individual 3D object transformations efficiently? Can it even be possible to do this with only one VertexBuffer3D? Or do I need several VertexBuffer3D to keep track of each objects? Using multiple VertexBuffer3D seems like it could hit a limit (but I haven't read enough of the Stage3D / Context3D documentation to know for sure).

I'm working (for my sins) on a Flex 3.3 project, which unfortunately cannot be upgraded to a newer SDK version at this stage, and have hit an issue with the custom hierarchical tree class (subclassing mx.controls.Tree) we're using. Excuse the spelling; the previous developer had a fear of dictionaries...
public class HierachyTree extends Tree
public function HierachyTree()
{[code].....
I'm using a solution somewhere between these two methods (basically, implementing ITreeDataDescriptor) in order to add live text filtering to the component, and it's working so far:
public class HierachyTreeFilteredDataDescriptor implements ITreeDataDescriptor
{
private var filter:Function[code]..........
The issue is that (with tree:HierachyTree) neither tree.maxVerticalScrollPosition nor the protected property tree.verticalScrollBar .maxScrollPosition updates when the search string is changed.I've tried calling invalidateList() and invalidateDisplayList() on tree — and calling invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateSize() on tree.verticalScrollBar — to no avail.

In flex 3 I have a hierarchical data structure. I would like to display the content of it in a tree. My problem is that I have nodes which data calculated from children nodes. How to structure the hierarchy to make automatic changes to those parent nodes, if their children's data changed? For example:
Every node has a warning flag. If some of the children warning flag changed to true, then the parent warning flag should change automatically set to true. A node integer field is the sum of the children integer fields, and if any of the children changes, the parent integer field "calculates" the sum immediately. Is there an easy solution wit good structuring changes happen automatically, or I have to make some custom functions?

I am trying to drag and drop hierarchical data in the same advanced data grid, and I would like the data provider to updated when the ADG is updated. (I want to be able to save and load this tree, so it is important that drags and drops are saved.)
[URL]
The sample app has an ADG showing hierarchical data as well as flat data. The first column of each datagrid shows the rowindex of the underlying data.
If you rearrange the items on the left ADG, the row indexes become unordered. If you click traceTree you see that the data provider is not in order.
On the other hand if you do the same on the right, the row numbers stay ordered even when the objects move around and if you click traceFlat, the data provider is in the order shown on ADG
My goal is to have the data provider order match the ADG order for the left grid which is displaying hierarchical data.

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

I'm trying to make a Flex Tree Component display the children of a sprite in a hierarchical way. Moreover, dragging the items on the FlexTree would resort and reparent the items. I have special Elements set as Folders. This would allow other elements to be added there as a children by dragging an element on the tree and dropping it there. I have a failed attempt which works, but breaks when I try to add folders. Basically, it fails at reparenting the items by dragging and resorting folders and that Does anyone know of a component or something which can do this, has anyone have created any of this or could anyone give me a clue?

I'm creating a presentation for a client and in this presentation I need a lead up page which has a series of editable text fields, and I'm not quite sure where to start.
1. There is to be a field where the client can punch in thier number and it will bring up information which is stored in an external database (Excel?), if they don't know their number however, they then have the option of filling it out manually. I then need this to immediately create a new .txt file which will become this customers reference (provided one doesn't already exist).
2. Any information that is edited during the session needs to be able to be SAVED to an external .txt file (as above), which can then be called upon if the same client (number) is typed into the field mentioned above.
3. The presentation then moves on to a customisable shopfit, where the client decides how they want their shop to look (this part is already complete and tested and works fine). However, at present I have a print button which the customer can select and it will print out their options, but it has been requested (as I think the reps like to leave their printers in their other suit jackets) that I have an email option, this needs to email the picture (which normally gets printed) AND the information which was entered into the customer reference page.
