ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Not Get A Ready-to-use Template
Nov 26, 2009
I am not an AS3 guru but recently I started learning AS3 and write code to build a website for my digital photography content.Of course, you can argue, why not get a ready-to-use template and go from there. However, I wanted a website with flexibility and tailored to my needs and one that can be easily updated and scalable.The question I have is in regards to the design patterns in AS3. I have created several classes that create for example photo galleries, and then use photo viewer class to display photos, etc.However, as the code is growing and more and more instances of different objects appear within my code all over the place i am starting to loose track of how to communicate between objects and what would be the best practices for building a photography website.I read about Factory Method Pattern and Singleton Pattern as well as MVC, and seems like MVS Pattern would offer the best way i could build the website.

If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...

I use the FLVPlayback Component in a project and i was wondering what bufferTime actually does. If autoPlay is true, the video starts playing after the bufferTime is reached. But i need autoPlay set to false... So does it trigger the "ready" event or something?

I want to load some jQuery code before the DOM is ready. I want to make a flash file transparant as the DOM loads. I was going to use something like this but Flash is initilized before the DOM loads.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('object:not(:has(wmode))').each(function(){
jQuery(this).attr('wmode', 'transparent');
[Code]....
The flash content is coming from our Advertisement Manager, which stupidly enough, doesn't allow direct editing of the HTML, as to add the required wmode attributed into the specific tags...

I'm building a video player that run's FLVs and cannot overcome the fact that flex foes not fire the metadataReceived event sometimes. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. Therefore the total time of the FLV remains -1. I understand its a known bug , I'm researching about it for a long time now , but could not find a good workaround by now, found one that says to set the buffer time to 0 and try that, but it's also does not work.

I am trying to compile an air app, and I keep getting this error: D:Tomcatwebappspublic-htmladmMain.swf (The device is not ready) It seems that someone who worked before me, had worked from a local server. I searched Flex for all known variations, I couldn't find where it is looking for this. I googled as well, which didn't get me anywhere. Does anyone know how to remove this compiling error?

I've noticed something weird at IE. When i have a flash object (.swf) inside a page, then any action/function inside $(document).ready starts after the swf object has been fully loaded. (While in firefox, it doesn't need the swf to be fully loaded)

I consistently seem to run into an issue. When I addChild(mc), features and assets that need to be rendered on the display list, are not available immediately for actionscript access. For example, the use of MovieClip(root) and alpha manipulation (right? or not?) of the movieclip being added (or of it's children) does not seem to be available immediately. So, I have tried the following, which didn't seem to work either, but maybe it's correct and I had a complicating issue?
Let me know the "proper" way to know that a movieclip has been rendered so that I can access features requiring the asset to be on the display list? What I've tried is below:
var mc:MyMovieClipClass = new MyMovieClipClass():
this.addChild(mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,mcReady);

I have a site with a common SWF embedded at the top of each page, and then regurlar graphic/text HTML content below it.I was anticipating that the SWF might have a bit of a delay for it to load, and that the rest of the page would be appearing pretty much right away... and that DOES happen from time to time.
However, the one thing I wasn't expecting, and don't quite understand, is that sometimes the SWF will appear first and even start playing, yet the rest of the page doesn't appear for a second or two, so I end up with this SWF movie floating in black.
Not entirely sure what is holding the page back, since most of the graphics are shared/common on each page. There are some embedded videos (with poster frames, so they shouldn't take too long to load) on some pages, which are probably the culprits.
What I don't get (besides how to further optimize the pages), is why the SWF appears and plays, if it is an element within the table that contains all the content of the page. I thought that tables only display once EVERYTHING in it is loaded... So, why would the SWF appear before the other elements are ready? I'm assuming the other (non-common) elements are not finished downloading... although I'm starting to suspect that maybe they are, and the delay is something else... like the embedded QT's 'initializing' or something?

Is there a non-polling way for Javascript to command Flash right when its external interface is ready? In Actionscript, I've registered a function for Javascript to call:[code]SWFObject lets you run code when Flash has been successfully embedded through a callback. I attempt to run $ ('flash Player'). doStuff in this callback, but it claims it's undefined. It seems that Flash needs some time to boot up its external interface. So I've been using a polling hack to find out when the external interface is ready:[code]There's a visually perceptible delay in the execution of doStuff and it makes my overall code structure muddy.

We have a completed flash game similar to Tetris that is ready to be "linked up" for multiplayer. After doing some research and asking here: Flash Sockets, Peer-to-Peer Capabilities , we have come to the conclusion that P2P networking done in the way xbox/ps3 games handle online games is not possible without expensive/dubious adobe software/services (FMS/Cirrus) on the flash platform at this point in time. Basically, a flash client is not allowed to become a "host" listening on sockets without the RTMFP protocol.
The Question that needs Suggestions:With that summary, the question is... what is the best way to implement the network infrastructure for a game like Tetris, which has quite a bit of small I/O going from user to user (say, a max of 4 players at a time). Given that we can't assign a single player as the host p2p style, our options are:
1.) Fat Server with Game Logic, Light Clients updating display/interpolating based on server updates (Ala Quake)
2.) Light Server handling communication between Fat Clients (Ala Concurrent simulation like RTS games)
The problem is, we are inexperienced when it comes to networking games and therefore would really love some advice on the pros/cons of those solutions (or even other solutions). Our Tetris game isn't as trivial as sending "attacking lines" when a client clears lines to add to the other players currently battling. We need a little more real-time syncing than that. For example, the list of next tetriminos is a single shared source where everyone is "fighting" for desirable pieces.
Finally, depending on the implementation chosen, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Node.js on game servers. I'd assume if the server was a lightweight server only handling transfers of data between clients that Node would be a good perfect fit. However, if game logic was placed on the node.js server, I'd assume that the blocking nature of the calculations would make Node.js' single threaded no-blocking I/O approach redundant?

I want to know if anyone knows where I can get a free template that can manage this effect[code]...
If not, can this be done using just ActionScript?
I want this so that I can use it as a screensaver. I'm not graphically inclined, otherwise I would make it myself.
Or, heck, does anyone know of any screensavers floating around that offer this?

I have a IT background and have been able to alter most of the template by myself to the design I would prefer my website to have. However I have hit a snag, it looks like part of the flash website design is controlled by bitmap images therefore I concluded those images were under the sources within the PSD folder. I tried creating a PNG file and double clicking the relevant bitmap and then updating it with the new file. However after I perform a publish preview the the change made no impact to the design.

I have built a template for a client that I would like to use for every page of the site. The problem, of course, is that the content within each page has to be changed. Ideally, I'd even change the layout; for example, some might have images, others just all text, others tables, etc.
