I'm currently translating portions of the chem4word project from C# to AS3. In the below code the XElement DelegateElement calls its Remove() method. If mark == true then it passes that XElement to have an XAttribute "deleted" = "true" but if the node has been removed what does c# / Linq actually do?

I've found a workaround, but I had trouble earlier this week working with FluorineFx, where I had a Linq-to-SQL-generated object I wanted to send over the wire to Flash. This object contained a property that Flash didn't need:
[Association(Name="User_UserEntry", Storage="_UserEntries",
ThisKey="UserID", OtherKey="UserID")]
public EntitySet<UserEntry> UserEntries { ... }
But Flex couldn't handle reinflating this type, throwing: ArgumentError: Error #2173: Unable to read object in stream. The class flex.messaging.io.ArrayCollection does not implement flash.utils.IExternalizable but is aliased to an externalizable class. Now I didn't need to send the property over the wire, so I tried the steps that Marc Gravell suggested in issue 456624, firstly adding attributes to it using the MetadataTypeAttribute in System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations (found from JasonW's comment on issue 393687:
[MetadataType(typeof(UserMetadata)]
public partial class User { }
internal class UserMetadata[code]....
Unfortunately it seems that FluorineFx doesn't support metadata attributes yet (which isn't very surprising, tbh, they are quite new). What I ended up having to do was create a dedicated DTO, with all the properties that Flash cared about and none of the properties it didn't. Not the most elegant of solutions.
Can i load an in memory XML, returned by a linq to SQL query, to an SWF object? And here comes the long version. The purpose is loading an in-memory XML file, to an SWFobject via a querystring.
Currently i read and load the XML file from an absolute path.

What can I call from within Flex/AS3 that will tell me whether the flex-app/web page is being executed within the local file system or rather was served from a webserver (either localhost or some remote server). Hopefully that's clear. If there's something in Javascript that's acceptable, but some AS3 function would of course be preferable.

What is the syntax that I use hide my button (button_mc) while the MovieClip is playing and have it reappear once the MovieClip is finished playing? Should the syntax appear after my ending bracket or before?
A flex app running in a view of my .NET MVC app can load data fine from another route, but submitting data via either POST or GET never invokes the controller action. Interestingly, the only way I can get the action method to fire is by passing intentionally malformed post variables in the http request. Odd. Content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded and I have set authentication to "None" in web.config with no improvement.
View 1 RepliesWhen you export a release build of an air app, it creates an .AIR file, that you can then double-click. When you do so, it asks you if you want to "Add shortcut icon to my desktop" and "Start application after installation".
I need to call specific ActionScript within my AIR application if and only if it was launched by the installer (the 2nd checkbox was selected) - As opposed to the user re-running it from the start menu after having installed it.
How can I detect this within my program?

I am making a flash application and I am trying to find function to use when I press the close button of the projector window. I dont want to make a button that uses fscommand("quit") since this would be impractical knowing that a default close button on the window is already available. Anyway the purpose of the function is that when I close my application, a dialog box/message would appear as a reminder that some data has not yet been saved and give the user an option to save or quit the application.

I have a main SWF and inside this SWF i have a button, that when clicked, loads a image gallery SWF. The problem I am having is inside that gallery swf is a close button and when i click the close button to remove the swf, it doesnt work. I have looked through several forums without success. Does anyone know how to remove or close out a SWF with in a SWF? here is the code I am currently using in the gallery swf to close it out.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI want to remove an swf once a second page has been added .here is the website design
> a preloader loads my main menu , on the main timeline of my preloader.swf I create a new loader (loader1) and tell it load the URLRequest "menu.swf"
> The menu.swf loads, on menu.swf main timeline I create a click function (instantiates once a button has been clicked) that loads my second loader (loader2) and this loads the URLRequest "cast.swf"
I want cast.swf to replace menu.swf and remove it entirely but I cant figure out how to do it,here is what I have tried inside the click function of menu.swf(is this possible? can you write code to remove an swf if you are actually inside that swf's main timeline? )
removeChildAt(0); ( this only removes the bottom layer of the menu.swf)
removeChild(MovieClip(root).loader1); inside the click function ( this does not remove the menu.swf )

The removeChild code keeps generating the error: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
Let's say I have a global SoundChannel object, and inside a function I am repeatedly creating new instances of the Sound object to play songs one after the other. Each time I do this, I need to add a new eventListener to the SoundChannel to call the function 'onSoundComplete' that will load the next song on completion.Coming from a strict C++ programming background, I often wonder if it's necessary to do some kind of cleanup in Flash, or if it handles it automagically.Here's example code that specifically removes the eventListener from the previous Sound object everytime a new one is created, but I don't want to be doing this if it isn't necessary:
Code:
// Setup sound object buffer
var slc:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(3000);

I was trying to integrate two game flash files that I created, by combining them into one file (on one timeline), but was having issues with making my timer stop. As the lesser of two evils (or so I thought) I decided to load one of the games into the other file on a particular button click as an external .swf. This solved the timing issue, but now I don't know how to get rid of the .swf once im done playing it and ready to move on with the original game! I need some buttoncode (AS2) to remove .swf on button click.
Button code to load .swf looks like this...
on (release){
LoadMovieNum("racing_part1_me.swf",2)
_level2.gotoAndPlay(25);
if (_level2.variable=="yes") {
_level2.play();
}}
