I was wondering how I could programmatically create a swf using Flash AS3 and AIR? I have successfully recreated a swf (using the data found in a swf file converted to hex and using byteArray) but I can't seem to change anything to it; if I do it no longer works.I have some text fields a person can enter information into. I want to take that information and save it out to a swf file.[code]
View 4 Repliescreate vector files programatically? The company I'm working for has to deliver vector assets to our clients (which are originally designed in flash, then the elements positions,scale and other details are stores in the database), and we want to eliminate the need for a human to actually create the vector graphic.
View 3 RepliesThe stand-alone Flash player has an option to print a SWF. However, there is no shell action registered for this, and as far as I can see the only way to do it is to use a keyboard macro (or do something invasive such as inject a DLL in the player). Is there some official API for this?

I have a flash file. I have a class called Screen. In Screen I want three properties: Image1, Image2, Image3. These image properties are representative of three bitmaps already in my flash file. How do I just create instances of them? And once they are initialised what type are they? Are they BitmapData?Or I can put said images as graphics in my flash file, so how to I create an instance of a graphic programtically?If I can't do this, I am happy to load the images from an external folder. How could I do this? Is it just load("image.png")?
I want to be able to just pass as a parameter the image instance and screen holds a reference to it. How can I create this instance though in the first place?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to programmatically queue MovieClips on the scene to play one after the other. I have tried onEnterFrame with Event.ENTER_FRAME that gotoAndStop() to next fram each time, but this does not show the MovieClip playing somewhy.Is there a way to programmatically link (in AS3) MovieClips to play one after the other? One I tried is at URL... and I have tried creating actionscript at last frame for each movieclip, but this goes directly into function I specify as an event at the time of creation (MovieClip.addFrameScript(MovieClip.totalFrames1, MyEventFunction) )

View 4 RepliesI am developing PDF to e-book converter which will run on a server.I need to programmatically extract embedded fonts from PDF file to finish the project.Now I am able to extract images and text, but to display content in the Flash Player precisely I need the fonts to be extracted from PDF and compiled to SWF to be loaded by Flex application at run time.
I am wondering if it's possible, as such tool as pdf2swf.exe from SWFTools is able to do this. I have decompiled the swf file produced by the tool and there were fonts embedded.The extracted fonts will be used for displaying the same content from PDF file only, just in Flash player. So i think it will not be any rights violation? Moreover, people who will use the converter have all rights for the PDF files content.
So I see next workflow:
1. Call pdf2swf.exe to produce SWF file with fonts embedded;
2. Call some tool (Which one?) to parse previous SWF to SWFs with separate fonts.
3. Load the SWFs with fonts to Flex application at run time to correctly display content.
I need to load several images as Bitmap or BitmapData objects. The images are hosted outside the Flex project, and they're referenced by an external configuration file, so I can't embed them. Because the images won't be displayed directly to the user (they're being added to a PDF that is generated for download), creating a grouping of Image objects, attaching them to the application, and waiting for their LoadComplete handler to fire seems inefficient.
What is the best way to load these images into an application? Programatically load images in it?

View 1 RepliesI would like to know the correct way to close an AIR application programmatically. In my Spark WindowedApplication I have:this.addEventListener( Event.CLOSING, shutdownApp );and of course an implementation of the shutdownApp method (which basically tidies up temporary files).his works fine for the top-right close button of the window. However I also have functionality which needs to shutdown the application. Within the code I have called:NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();However this doesn't trigger the Event.CLOSING method, and so my temporary files are not cleared up. Should I not be calling nativeApplication.exit ? If so, what should I call instead? I'd rather not have to call my shutdownApp method before the NativeApplication.exit() as this doesn't feel quite so elegant.

I have various components that are skinned through a programmatic skin. The skin class references a singleton class that holds various colors to be applied to different aspects of the component. The singleton class has default colors set to variations of black/grey etc. I'm loading in custom colors from an XML file that are then loaded into the singleton. I'm applying the custom skin through a css stylesheet that is included in the main Application mxml.
The problem is that when the swf initially loads, the components that are drawn on screen are black and don't reflect the changes in color loaded from the XML file. I have some dropdown windows that show on button clicks and those dropdowns do reflect the correct colors from the XML file. Therefore, the system is working correctly, but the initial drawing of components obviously happens before the XML is loaded and applied to the singleton.
My question is, is there a way to apply a skin to an element programmatically by calling the constructor?
I have this in my css file:
.PanControlsBackground {
borderSkin:ClassReference('skins.buttons.PanControlsBackground');
}
[Code]....
or something to that effect? This way, I can remove the loading of the skins in the css file and control when they are instantiated to ensure that the correct colors are applied before displaying the various components.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to make a graphic flash at regular intervals that I can control via AS3. I was trying to do this with tweening but I am getting bogged down because for some reason when I try to get the darn thing to loop it just won't do it. I want to be able to change the rate at which the graphic flashes on and off the screen within the constraints of the frames per second so that I can simulate a light and sound machine. Ideally I'd like to be able program the starting frequency of the flashing light (say 15hz) and the ending frequency (5hz for example) and the program would gradually shift the frequency from one to the other over the course of the graphic. For right now I would love it if I could just programmaticly set the frequency of the flashing graphic within the limitations of the frames per second.
View 14 RepliesWhile it's clearly possible to create MovieClips, I want to know: Is it possible to make multi-frame movieclip animations programatically? That is, is it possible to decide how many frames there are in the MovieClip, and specify the contents of each frame?I was intending to programatically generate a small MovieClip containing three frames, each with the text "Loading." "Loading.." and "Loading..." respectively, so that I wouldn't have to set up a timing event to change them manually. When I tried to figure out how to do this, however, I found that I couldn't set the number of frames in a MovieClip object, and there didn't seem to be any way to alter them directly.
