I am working on a game that will have couple of XML files and couple of images external to the game.
i would like to protect those files so that they cant be changed/editted
is there a way to encrypt all files and then convert them back to normal on the fly as the game loads?
I need to play an flv back at normal speed,back at half of normal speed, forward at half of normal speed in AS3 through netconnection and netstream.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem making my FlvPlayback go full screen. In FF it works great but in IE (8) it will only work once! the next time, it will flicker and return to normal state.
View 1 RepliesI've made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..

Ok ... so i think this is related to bitmap caching however the "this" is a dynamically created object that then dynamically has a .jpg placed inside of it. I want the object to disappear on rollOver and go back to normal onRollOut. But i can't figure out how to assign bitmap caching to the dynamic jpeg or this.movieClip as they are both dynamic.
I want to make a MC scale when my crsor is over it and go back to normal when it's not.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscale<100 ) {_xscale = _yscale += 10;
}
}
This is all the as i have but i do not know how to make it so the mouseover function is involved.
How can i reset a frame so everything starts again instead of manually coding for everything to go back to normal positions because i have lots of objects and it makes it real hard.

View 1 RepliesI have an external preloader that loads the game that's hosted on And let's also say that game is amazingly ridiculously popular that it exceeded the monthly bandwidth limit of my free hosting plan on that server and my account gets suspended. Then what will happen when the Loader object calls load (new URLRequesI'm planning to upload a game to a distribution website and they strongly encourage that the games be contained in one single swf. But trying to do a internal preloader is shortening my lifespan.So I plan to maybe have the game swf hosted on multiple servers and if the primary server fails due to heavy traffic or the account got suspended then the player can choose to load from a different server. I'm pretty sure that's possible..

View 4 RepliesMy program saves text files, which contain various text, some of which is a string representation of a ByteArray. It does this by using the toString() method of the flash.utils.ByteArray class, which I assume converts a ByteArray (for example, 13x$) into its string representation "13x$". So how do you reverse the process, and turn the string ("13x$") into a ByteArray (13x$)? Even if it's not that simple, I just need to have the ByteArray, put something in a text file, and extract from it the same ByteArray.
View 1 Repliesif I have a map of say, Wisconsin, and I know what the Latitude coords (degrees, hours, minutes) of the top and bottom of the map, and I know how many pixels tall the map is, then I should be able to convert, with math, degrees:hours:mins to pixels. (same thing with longitude, but lets just focus on one way first)
I would first find out how may hours (minutes would be over kill for my app) there are to a pixel. Thats pretty easy. But this gives me a decimal number. How do i convert a decimal value (like 10.25) back to degrees and hours (in other words, how do i make .25 a "60" based value)? Ultimately, i want the user to be able to input coords in the form of degrees, hours, mins. Then convert that to X, Y (to place a marker on the map).
Has any one had experience with this or know how to do this?
In main.swf I loaded file.swf as:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file.swf");
When main swf loaded in HTML with an absolute link like:[URL].. It reports 404 error loading failed of file.swf
Because it looks for file.swf at current web host.What's the best way to do this without hard code absolute url in main.swf?
How can convert Julian dates to system date and back in AS3.
View 2 RepliesThe entire .fla animation consists of nothing but two really long movie clips. Which are placed on frames 1 and 2 of the main timeline. Now for reasons that are too deep for me to go into explaination about my boss is telling me that I have to have everything main timeline -no movie clips. I've tried copypasting all of the frames but they all paste wayyy to large on the main timeline and they wind up in different places on the stage.
How can I move all of the frames from my two movie clips onto the main timeline without everything breaking? Better yet - is there any way to just convert a movie clip into an .fla?
In AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
In flex (flash builder 4) I have a Date() property that I am passing to Zend AMF (php) and I want to store that (as well as other data) in mongoDB. Mongodb is complaining about the date because it comes across as a Zend_Date object, which appears to be an object containing several properties and Mongodb is saying that it can not accept blank properties. So, I take that to mean it needs to be converted to something else before I can store it? If so, how do I do that?
At the moment I have taken the approach of converting the Zend_Date object in to a date string to store it (in php):
$object->readyDT=date("m/d/Y H:i", strtotime($object->readyDT)); //convert to string
That works fine, and I have a string in mongodb of that date. Now, when I load the date from MongoDB, I need to convert it back to a Zend_Date so it properly converts back in to a Date() object in flex (I have to check that it's not blank or it throws errors in php):
if (isset($object->readyDT) && $object->readyDT!=="") $object->readyDT = new Zend_Date($object->readyDT, 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm');
This all works, but it seems like there should be a much easier way to take a Date() from flex and get it stored in MongoDB via Zend AMF/PHP. ?
I am building an AS3 SWF player that loads other SWF files into it, both AS2 and AS3 files will be loaded (one at a time). In the case that it is an AS3 file then the main player SWF can directly call functions and variables inside the loaded AS3 file. Now to handle AS2 files I am using 2 Local Connection channels, one for the player to send info to the loaded SWF and one for the loaded SWF to send info to the player SWF.
Now i never have more than 1 SWF loaded into the player at a time and before i load the next SWF into the player i use..

View 4 RepliesI've had Flash CS4 (a legally purchased single-user licence) since the day it came out and used it practically every day without any major problems. Today I opened it up to carry on with some work, and it crashed. I had a whole host of other stuff that was open and updating at the same time, so I waited until that was done, then I tried again. It crashed. So I rebooted, and tried again. It crashed. Slightly panicked, I uninstalled Flash CS4, rebooted, re-installed it, and tried again. It crashed. Panic giving way to anger, I googled the issue, and this time uninstalled, with 'Remove user preferences' checked, went through my Windows system and manually deleted any associated files in my Application Data folder, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and tried again. It crashed.
I have now just downloaded the Adobe CS4 Cleanup utility and run it, but after twenty minutes hanging at the 'Removing all session folders' screen and no processor activity I could see, I quit the program.
