Basic MovieClip Usage In FlashDevelop
Apr 6, 2011
I'm just started doing 'hands-on' learning of Actionscript 3 using FlashDevelop. I've now managed to subclass a sprite, load a graphic from the library, and manipulate it around the stage. Next step is doing the same with a MovieClip, but it doesn't seem to be as simple. Basically, I want a simple subclass of MovieClip, that uses a SWF that I created & exported in Flash CS5 (anything else that can create them?), and then added it into my library in FlashDevelop.
In my 'Main' class, I want something like this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Main extends Sprite {
private var myClip:MovieClip;
But that says the child is null, and I'm not sure I should be creating a 'new' MovieClip inside my sub-classed MovieClip anyways.

How swffit (http://swffit.millermedeiros.com/) can be used? I mean in my project I have dynamically expanding flash application, so once the expanding part riches the bottom I see standard flash scroll bar. Not browser scrollbar...
Here is how I defined my application:
public function addPanel(evt:Event):void
{
var panel:Panel = new Panel();
panel.name = "new";
panel.title = "new";
panel.height = 30;
panel.width = 100;
this.addChild(panel);
SWFFit.fit('my_flash', 800, 600);
}
public function main(event:Event):void{
SWFFit.fit('my_flash', 800, 600);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="Add" click="addPanel(event)"/>
The html file (same as described in docs):
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swffit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("my_flash", "8.0.0");
swffit.fit("my_flash",800,600);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object id="my_flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="Sample.swf" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Sample.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
<!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" title="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a><br />
You need <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flash Player 8</a> and allow javascript to see the content of this site..
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->

<!--<![endif]-->

Will be happy to hear any feedback,
Added fixes described in answer 1. but come across interesting issue: e.g. browser scroll bar appears only on browser window resize, not when clicking add button...

After add is clicked several times, I see flash default scroll bar...

At the moment I'm using FlashDevelop to make an entirely AS3 Project, my first task was to load a local '.png' into a MovieClip. So This was the code I was using:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
It compiles fine but I get this error when it runs:
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found."

I am currently working on a website for a studio based in Sydney and have been developing (very basic actionscripting 2.0...) it for the last week or so, and up until now I haven't had a problem.
The site layout is simple and is essential 10 blocks stacked next to each other 5 on the bottom and 5 on the top. Each block is a button that highlights when a user rolls the mouse over.I have created the button animation as a movieClip which is being controlled by a Button symbol with actionscript on the button symbol:

I have a blank FLA. with document class index. I have an AS file name index saved in same folder. My custom package looks like this, but the movieClip does not display at runtime. I'm just trying to begin work with OOP and custom classes and I'm not sure why this isn't working for me:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class index extends MovieClip {
public function Main () {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = D.y = 100;
addChild(D);
}}}

I have been programming with as3 for the past 4 months and Ive been getting rather good at it. I just recently decided to work with flashdevelop. I notice that there is alot of code that is availible in the flex sdk that isn't available in as3 with flash cs4. Like embedding of assets and such. I've been trying to find some up to date tutorials on how to embed things like xml and so far the tutorials are inaccurate or unclear about how to go about doing so. Ive been trying to find some good books that cover that and havnt been able to.
The books either cover as3 with flash or as and flex builder. Which is more towards working with the mxml. I havnt been able to find any books on how to work with as3 and flex sdk. Which show examples like embedding of xml and so on. I was just curious does anyone know of any good books that cover EVERYTHING there is to know about as3 and the flex sdk. Not so much on flex builder and mxml.
In a sense, I just want to get better with working with as3 projects with flashdevelop. And it would be great if there was books that covered that. Cause lets just face it, We developers sometimes just get sick of searching the web for bits of pieces of things. and its just great to have that one good book that references everything.

I have inherited a Flash project that (I THINK) was started in FlexBuilder, but I dont have FlexBuilder. I have CS3 and FlashDevelop, is it possible for me to continue this project using the tools that I have?
There are a bunch of wierd files like ".project" and ".actionScriptProperties", and obviously no .FLA file.How can I get up and running using either CS3 or FlashDevelop?

So I got this AS3 game thats completely written in Flex without the .fla file and I want to put a clickable button that links back to a webpage to the mainmenu screen.
In the IDE and AS2(which is what I usually work in), it was just simply:
Drag button onto the screen Convert it into a button symbol and then do this:
Code:
on(release)
{
getURL("http://www.urlhere.com",_blank);

It failed with "...TreeExampleTreeExamplesrcMain.mxml(5): Error: Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation." error message.
There is a "How to use this example" link beside this example, but I didn't find any useful information I want.

I have been working with Flixel in FlashDevelop for quite some time, and I recently updated my Flixel library to the latest version. Some things have changed names or have been moved or had their inputs changed. For some reason, FlashDevelop is still showing me the documentation from the old version of Flixel as I type things in, so I keep trying to use variable and functions etc that no longer exist.

I'm following directions to set up a debugging in FlashDevelop in web browser.I'm getting confused on 'Configure your project' step. It says:
Open the Project properties and change the "Test Movie" option to "Open Document...". Click on the button which should appear, and enter bin/index.html (path to html page, relative to project root) in the prompt.
What is the bin/index.html file? Is it where my SWF is loaded? I currently have a SWF that loads from a PHP page. So I pointed it to my PHP project's index.php page build project. After build I get a generic Windows message that Windows cannot open the file with that extension.
Is it possible for me to debug my SWF from my PHP page which loads it?
