I'm currently creating a website with AS3 in FlashDevelop, so it's code only no timeline stuff.
I have a class that loads images with a method that I call from my main source. I was wondering how I go about making sure that the images are loaded before executing more code outside of the class. I know how to do it using Event.COMPLETE in the image class, but I am unsure how to get the main class to wait.
how can I load in flex spark Image control and wait for complete loading? MX:image have method load() and listen COMPLETE event this is not in spark Image...is there only source?? or how can i listen when image is complete loading??

var sender:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
sender.load(post_request); // load the php file and send it the data

When I upload a file using a Flex application,what is the difference between complete and uploadcompletedata events? In which cases one of them will be dispatched and the other one won't?
View 1 RepliesI am using an FLV component dragged to the stage and then bringing in video content. How can I make it visible=false when it has finished playing using the COMPLETE event?
View 3 RepliesI'm in the process of making a game (a shmup) and I've started to question the accuracy of the timers in ActionScript. Sure, they're accurate enough when you want to time things on the order of a few seconds or deciseconds, but it seems to perform pretty poorly when you get to finer ranges. This makes it pretty tough to do things like have a spaceship firing a hundred lasers per second.
In the following sample, I tested how long (on average) the intervals were between 1000 timer ticks intended for 30ms. Time and time again, the results are ~35-36ms. Decreasing the time, I found the floor on the timer delay to be ~16-17ms. This gives me a max fps of ~60, which is great visually but also means I can't possibly fire more than 60 lasers per second :-(. I ran this test a few times at 100 and 1000 loops, but for both the 30ms test and the 1ms test the results didn't change. I print to a textField at the end because using trace() and launching the swf in debug mode seems to negatively affect the test. So what I'm wondering is:
Is this test a decent measure of the Timer class's performance, or are my results questionable? Will these results change dramatically on other machines? I understand this is dependent on the getTimer() method's accuracy, but the discussions I find on this topic usually center around getTimer()'s accuracy on larger intervals.

If all I have is an instance of an object, can I call a static method of its class? For fun, let's say I don't know what the name of the class is, only the name of the static method.
View 3 RepliesI'm totally new to Adobe Flex Builder 3. I've been assigned a fully functional project but when I want to add the simplest function to any class, I always got the same error :
Call to a possibly undefined method through a reference with static type
For example, in some random class there is a function defined like this :
public function GetID() : String { return m_strID; }
If I try to define a new one like below :
public function GetIDFoo() :String { return m_strID; }
And then I try to call both of them like this:
trace ("This line is ok : " + oPhysicalScreen.GetID());
trace ("This line gives me an error : " + oPhysicalScreen.GetIDFoo());

I recently found a method (ByteArray.clear()) that FlexBuilder complains is possibly undefined; however, the method is in fact documented in the Flex LiveDocs. It must have been added in a later version of the SDK than I have installed. I'm not asking about this particular method, but I'm giving it as an example of the documentation issue that I'm trying to resolve. My questions are:
How can I determine what version of the SDK or Flash player that a method or property was added in? How can I tell which versions of the SDK are supported on which Flash player versions?
I want to be able to determine from the documentation, instead of compiler or runtime errors, what SDK and Flash player versions are needed to support newly added methods.
With Java I look for the @since javadoc tag when I need to know this, but I can't find an equivalent feature in the Flex docs.
I know that I can get info about constants, methods, etc of a class by using flash.utils.describeType. But I want to know if I can retrieve the asdoc comments of a class member.
I suspect, documentation is removed when classes are compiled into SWF so it might be impossible to get comments during run-time.
It's coming from this line of code:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == nNode.parent().@question_questionID)[0];nNode is an XML node sent as an argument to the function this is called in. The code runs,and does everything expected but the compiler sends out that warning. Do I have some formatting issue?P.S. I've tried telling it that it's XML like this:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == XML(nNode).parent().@question_questionID)[0];

This is not my exact situation as it is a bit more complicated to explain here. There is an abstract class and several custom view objects derived from it. Some of the views are dependent on others being completed first but I cannot seem to order them in the correct order. TIMERS are not an option. Probably not explaining this correctly.
My app is set up to pause the animation when the mouse is pressed down by calling Timer.stop(). While the mouse is pressed, the user can draw on the screen by dragging the mouse. When the mouse is released, the animation starts again with Timer.start() and is based off what the user draws.However, after I let the animation run for a while the app gets so slow that I can't even drag to draw when the timer is not calling the animation update without the drawing skipping hundreds of pixels at a time.

import flash.display.Sprite;

I written a class, loading XML. How can I call the XML class when Event COMPLETE, because now it trace me NULL.
View 8 RepliesI've got a custom Thumbnail class that reads in an image path, a label, and an index. The class simply loads the image and and onComplete it pulls the bitmap out of loader.content, assigns it to a public variable and then dispatches an event saying its completed.
I use these thumbnails in a thumbnail gallery and I don't build the gallery in until all thumbnails are loaded and ready. The problem is the COMPLETE event doesn't always fire for every thumbnail, therefore not allowing the gallery to build.
I used a ProgressEvent.PROGRESS to make sure the files were being loaded, and found that when the loads failed the loader still loaded the totalBytes.
I've also tried Event.INIT and its the same issue.
INIT and COMPLETE just don't seem to be either caught or dispatched.
Code:
public class Thumbnail extends Sprite
{

I have a rather silly question but as3's document class always gets me confused.I have a public method on my document class.

View 6 RepliesHow do you return data from a custom class, and only when something in the custom class has completed something. For example, let's say I have this code in the custom class[code]...
This, of course, doesn't work. I need the whatever.getLoadedObject() method to wait until the loading has finished inside the custom class then do whatever with the image loaded.
although I do come from a OOP background. I have been asked to trial Flash and Actionscript 3 in particular - so I do come with a few preconceptions on how I expect actionscript to behave and I'm getting the impression that this is causing me problems.One issue I have is when I create a new instance of the class and assign it to a variable, subsequent background changes to that instance of the class are not 'picked-up' when referenced through the variable. I would expect that given instance of class could be assigned to many different variables and any background updates using one variable would accessible using any of the other variables. This doesn't seem to be the case.I have a test class, XMLDataLoader, which is coded as follows:
package {
public class XMLDataLoader {
import flash.events.*;
