I'm trying to change the colors of a blur filter. But I want the the colors to be constantly changing without any user interaction. So far i've set up a color matrix filter
View 4 RepliesI am making a game in flash, that uses several resources to build different buildings, that help you to gain resources, etc. I'm trying to make it so that the more "_global.food" you have, the faster your resources will go up. I have it so that the variable "_global.woodBoostMeter" goes up as fast as "_global.woodBoostSpeed" and when it reaches 500, it gives you 1 wood. I want it so that "_global.woodBoostSpeed" is modified by "_global.food" divided by whatever 200 is. (So that you will get resources faster for the more food you have)
Here's the code I'm using:
Quote:
_global.woodBoostMeter =0
_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200
_global.woodBoostObtainRate =1
[Code]....
I think the problem seems to be with the "_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200". it doesnt go up slow like it should, since "_global.food" starts out at like 200.
There are two buttons and a dynamic text box in my flash. The two buttons are start and end button. When you click the start button, you will find the random data in the dynamic text box changing constantly until you click the stop button.
View 3 RepliesI am looking at taking on a project that will be a considerable challenge since I come from a LAMP development environment. I am wanting to create a Flash driven community with chat and profiles. In PHP I know how I would go about handling the data as everything is put together on the server and returned to the user completely formatted, however adding a flash layer on top of it present a problem. I am not sure how to transport data from the server to a flash file without using XML. The obvious problem that I see is as more people are online, Sending updated XML files to flash could become a bandwidth hog and make for a slow UI. best method of moving result data from a PHP script to Flash without using XML or is that going to be the only viable option? My concern is load time. Also is there a good way of unloading data once it is no longer used (ie Photos).
View 4 RepliesI am looking for a way to capture the user interactions with a text input control in Flash over a period of time (not a screen cast)?For example: If the user enter some text, then delete, then enter something, I would be able to store that interaction as it happens and replay that later.
View 2 RepliesThe following code works as expected: when a user clicks the button, the installer automatically launches.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"[code]....
I verified that the installApp function is executed.Why doesn't the second piece of code work? Is user interaction required? If so what's a way around this?
I have been tasked with tracking user interactions with a flash movie that contains several chapters. I need to track which chapters the user decides to watch. But I have no access to the flash movie itself and I can not modify it. The movie loads in a modal. I do have access to the HTML page from which the modal is spawned. This is a screenshot of the interface. There are 6 chapters. Users can select the chapters they want to watch. They can then click Play Your Demo. Alternatively there's a Play All button. I would like to track which chapters users select. This can be easily done with flash, but this is not an option. I hope I can use jQuery on the page to monitor user clicks. I am inclined to say this is not possible though, since JS can not track events/interactions with the flash movie, but I could be wrong.

View 2 Replieshow to jump from one frame a movie clip, rot menu, to a frame of another, main, through a button in rot menu, rot menu is a movie clip in symbol 1 which is in another (cant remeber) in main. from frame 1 of main i want the button to be pressed and it takes you frame 2 of main.
View 1 RepliesOn load - Get the current position of the movieclip object on stage which is stored in MySQL through PHP.When the user moves the movieclip object, update the x and y position of the object by sending it to MySQL through PHP.It's a pretty simple way of understanding Flash/PHP/MySQL Integration and I find it much less complex than a socket server but I don't think it's efficient enough to use with the constant queries. [URL] Does not really work very well, dont think the Y position works at all lol, when you refresh the page it is suppose to save your current object position into the database then load it again but it appears a bit buggy, not completely sure why - I'm pretty new to Load/Send but it doesnt matter much. Also the movement appears to be lagged too and opening a new window as a 'new user' does not share the same instance of the object on stage (I think that would require me to make seperate ID's for each user though to give them their own unique objects on stage.)Is there any better (more efficient and reliable) way of creating a stage for multi-user interaction (like player characters for a game which move around by user key input, not a chat room)...Which does not involve the use of a socket server?
View 1 RepliesI would like to start a timer on a button release which will trigger a "time up" on the user when a reasonable time to respond has been reached. I think I know how to use getTime to set a starttime variable but how do I trigger the "time up" without any user interaction?
This is the code I have:
var starttime=getTimer() // put this where you want to start tracking time
var elapsedTime=getTimer()-starttime; // put this where you want to know the time.
while (elapsedTime>4000)
Is it possible to get the custom cursor MC to act opposite the users actions? I want it to be opposite the center of the stage, lets say the real mouse cursor is 200px to the RIGHT of the center of the stage, but the custom mouse cursor is 200px to the LEFT... get it? And the same goes for the y coordinates. I gave it a try, but can't seem to get it right, math never was my strong side
View 3 RepliesAt the moment I'm using Selenium-Flex to write functional tests for a video playback app.At the moment, I need to test that the app behaves appropriately when switched to fullscreen mode - make sure that the control bar is in a reasonable spot, the video resizes appropriately, etc., and of course to do that I need an automated way to make Flash Player go fullscreen.
For good reason, Flash's security features prevent being able to fullscreen except in response to user input. Actual user input, a javascript callback being called does not count.Is there any way to disable this security feature on my test rig, so I can actually run my automated tests on fullscreen mode? Barring that, is there any way to put Flash into fullscreen mode externally, so I can hack it up to work that way?
The code flow is as follows: user clicks 'download details' button on the page -> on button click handler a call to a RPC method is made using s:CallResponder -> RPC method generates and returns a URL from where to download the file -> the success event handler of the CallResponder gets the url where FileRefrence.download() is used to download the file but throws following error:-
Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.

I need to create a user interaction simulating the use of a spirit level showing that a rectangular object on the stage is level. It doesn't have to actually work like spirit level, basically just has to give the impression that it has worked like one.
Maybe make the bubble of the spirit level should move (become animated) when being dragged to the object, then settle (animation come to a stop) when dropped in place on top of the rectangular object? Although I am unsure of the code to go about this?
Ive been editing a template for a photography website (in flash) but she wanted the font changed through out the site and the colour of this font changed to.

I wanna make a test movie for lets say... a circle dragged by the mouse and changing colors of the circle to certain colors when like on the right top of the stage the circle would be 100% alpha with a color of like blue, on the bottom left it would be 0% alpha with a color of like green or something like that.
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text box that is being populated by this line of code:
feedback.htmlText = myQuestion[counter]+"<br>You:<br>> "+myFoil[counter][userAnswer]+"<br>Chris:<br>> "+fbCorrect[counter];
I am needing to have the three distinct areas to be different colors of text. Can I do it in this line only? These elemnts are being pulled in from the first part of my file and I want them all the same unitl I pull the the info into "feedback.htmlText".
when i run this code.. all is good and everything is read from the file trees.txt
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("trees.txt"))
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoad)
[code]...
now what i am trying to do, and i am almost certain i am going the wrong way with this, is to add on rollover a button that corrosponds to the text the text will change color from black to red. meaning... if i rollover button_0 the text of tcname_0 with change to red , and if i rollover button_1 text in tcname_1 would change.. and so on. so here is what i did:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("trees.txt"))
[code]...
2- if the loop works and doesnt break, i still have a problem of how to exactly pass the name of the text field that should be changed. right now i am hard coding it as tcname_2 to see if this even works but i would like it to somehow pass the button_x (x being the number) and use that x to change the corrosponding text i.e (tcname_x) .. is this even doable?
When using a ColumnChart created in Flex 3, how can I to change the fill color of columns that meet a certain criteria?
Example: I have 8 columns representing agreement percentages between groups of people and want to change the fill color (or otherwise highlight) of all the columns that have over 80% agreement.
I followed the Changing Colors Using ActionScript and understand how it works, but I want to have the color stay changed until I click on another button. I also want to have one set of buttons for one shape and another set for a 2nd shape and a 3rd set for a 3rd shape. Do I just recopy the script substituting different shape names?

how can I change the fill color of a graphic in code. I want to dynamically change the fill colour of a circle depending on the status of the user. At present the graphic is a circle with grey border and red fill in Graphic format.
I've tried several solutions to get this to work on a dynamically created text field. None of them get the job done.
The font I want to use (let's call it FancyFont) is in the library and does have actionscript linkage. It is exported in Frame 1.
Approach 1: Using CSS:
Since I would like to ultimately be able to change the string dynamically, I'm not loading from an external file.
Code:
var styleString="body{font-weight:bold; font-family:FancyFont;} .red {color:#cc0000}"
var style:StyleSheet=new StyleSheet();

View 1 RepliesI want to open a file dialog via FileReference.browse() but I get #2176 error which means that this action can only be invoked upon some user interaction. I'm aware of security considerations but in my scenario I have a thin flash movie which merely displays an image and the whole UI is in javascript (I heavily use javascript <-> actionscript communication).
So the question is - do you think it would be possible to invoke FileReference.browse() upon the user interaction coming from javascript?
