Hopefully this is a straight forward question but as far as resources when compiling a flash project is flash more cpu dependent or gpu dependent? Trying to spec out a machine and need to determine what flash is going to use more.
View 1 RepliesI want to compile my locale, resource.properties file into a swf.The documentation on Adobe site seems to be insufficient.
View 3 RepliesI've created an application that includes a number of Modules and uses Parsley framework. Ant is used to build the application.Recently I thought of using Resource Bundles and implemented it in the system by creating a locale/en_US folder under the src. I added a portal.properties file with all my strings defined.In my modules, I added the metadata
<fx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("portal")]
</fx:Metadata>
In the ant build file, I added the below lines within mxmlc.
<locale>@{locale}</locale>
<source-path path-element="${myapp.flex.app.locale}/{locale}"/>
<include-resource-bundles>portal</include-resource-bundles>
The build works fine and when I deploy the application and open it in my browser, I'm greeted with many errors thrown by the Flash player.But if I dismiss the messages, its working fine. My strings are replaced with the values in the property file, but how do I stop the runtime errors being thrown up?I get the below error.
Error: Unable to load resource module from portal at MethodInfo-637()at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

Is there any way i can get CPU usage and CPU memory usage details in flex? I know that flash can't access any system resources.

Does anyone know how to do that in AS3?
I use CS5 Master Collection. Work mostly in Fl.
I'm working on a flash project and wanted to rename an .as file. When I changed the name, the .swf breaks. Is there anyway I can remap the .as file to the .fla from CS5.5?
just wanted to know where is it preferred to keep your .as files? I've seen examples where people store them in a separate folder (ex. Actionscript/MainTimeline.as) but I've also seen examples where people just keep all the .as in their .fla file.
I'd like to learn how to create a java web service that can be consumed by a web tier, which is constituted of java and flex. What books can help me learn how to create a java web service and consume it via java & flex?Should I look to build a web service from scratch or from frameworks like: XFire, Axis, CXF, Spring Web Services, etc.?If using a framework is recommended, which of the above or any others makes the most sense to learn/use?
EDIT:Both the java AND flex components of the web tier need to independently access the web service. For example, the flex component helps the user create & save a spreadsheet; the java component retrieves the spreadsheet data and displays it accordingly.

View 3 RepliesI haven't been here for a while but as a resource of excellent ideas I am back to ask something that I feel you guys would know about.I am a teacher thinking of going self employed and I want to set up an online business charging for access to resources I create myself online to any students that would be interested.I can figure out how to set up password protected areas on my website where access is given when payment is made.
Of course this is for a limited period, say a week and then the password would automatically and randomly change.
I would give the password to those that had paid for access for the agreed period for access.As I aim to have more than one person at a time, this needs to be self regulating. Is this at all possible?Online teaching resource not exactly flash related!
I have some audio streaming resources on my HTTP server, let's sayI did design a flash player for playing it.Their player will try to reload that resource until it's available.This makes a lots of stress to my HTTP server. To stop them from hamming my server, I want to allow access only from my flash player. Strangely, I think in this case, flash player should check the crossdomain.xml first before load my audio resource, but they didn't. They just load the sound and play. The corssdomain.xml is not even there. I try to add one, it doesn't work as well
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I use the Open Resource Window (Command-Shift-R) a lot in Flash Builder and it saves me a lot of time. But I canīt seem to get it to work with my projects xml files. I know this has been working on previous projects ut I canīt find any settings for this.
View 1 RepliesSince I purchased flash CS4 (upgrading from flash 8), I have gradually shifted from writing code in AS2 to AS3. Now all of my projects are in AS3 except 1, it's an old legacy project written in such a way that conversion would be almost impossible. Earlier today I started to work on it and then tried to compile it causing flash to crash. After about an hour I realised that whenever I compile an AS2 project flash crashed. After trying to download patches, restarting countless times and searching the internet for similar bugs, I uninstalled and reinstalled flash. But to no avail, the bug persisted. So I decided to create an acount and post about the bug I encountered on this form, hoping that somone might know about it.
View 3 RepliesI've got a Flash site that uses a loadvars object to load a csv file that I then parse into arrays. The swf works great locally and on two hosts I have tested it on. However, I can't get it to work on the host server I own (er..rent). The HTML file, swf and csv are all stored on the same level and I've even included a policy file just in case. Additionally, I have changed the path to the csv in the Flash file several times to see if that was the issue. I created a trace that indicates my data is loading, but the functionality isn't working, leading me to believe the parsing is at issue. Any ideas why this file would work fine on two other servers but bomb on a third?? I'm completely stumped.
View 1 RepliesI use the facebook class [URL] in my project. When I compile my project (Air 2.0) with the facebook class it takes longer than one minute to compile.What would I do to make compiling faster? Compiling in Flash Builder seems much faster than in Flash CS5.

Is its currently possible to publish a Flash App to iPad? I see Flash CS5 has the ability to publish to iPhone/iPad - is Apple supporting this and will be able to be sold in the App store. It would be a lot simpler for me to code up my next project in flash as opposed to objective c and cocos2d.
View 1 RepliesI am a as3 programmer trying to make a iphone aplication with Adobe cs5. for some reason flash doesnt want to recognise any of my code..
if i put a trace like.. "trace("wtf");" on the first frame it doesnt work.
Anyone knows why flash doesnt compile my code? gr, Apollo
"Edit": Adobe Air 2.0 doesnt work either, iphone is Air aswell but diffrent publishing ofc.
I tried to deploy my otherwise working flex app on a web server (tomcat 6).It threw a Channel.Security.Error.After some research, I became aware that flash movie loaded from flash_movie_domain will not be able to load resource from any other domain.Some suggested adding a crossdomain.xml.However, the crossdomain.xml route doesn't quite make sense.In this case, I am loading resources from a third party web site.My understanding is that I need this third party website to include a crossdomain.xml on their root directory in order for app to function.The third party web service is provided as is. I will not be able to change what's given. Since the third party is providing public access, it already explicitly give permission to the general public. Adding a crossdomain.xml to their root seems to be a redundant act?
View 1 RepliesI'm making a simple puzzle-building game. It's working, but I have just spotted an odd in-game behaviour...When I pick up a piece of the puzzle and move to the left side of the swf, the game runs at a playable frame rate. The farther I move the mouse to the right, the frame rate (or at least update rate) seems to drop.The only code it's running at that point is a method that checks which piece is carried and moves that piece's x and y coords to match the mouse.I've already tried using 'updateAfterEvent' with no change.
View 5 RepliesI'm building a Flex/AIR application that connects to a remote server, the URL of which changes depending on the environment (development/production, and possibly others). For now, this URL parameter is hardcoded in my root application MXML file but it means I have to change it everytime I build my app for a different environment.Is there a way to externalize such a parameter so that when Flash Builder automatically builds my app (in development mode), it uses the development URL
View 1 RepliesI have a function which makes the line size change dependent of the speed of the cursor. Faster movements = thicker line. It works as it should, but im trying to call it thru external Interface an a .Js. The line size changes but not when drawing, it looks like it bases the line size on the speed the cursor had before the mouseDown is fired. So it changes speed but not while drawing.

View 4 RepliesI've been using Flash for 10 years and I've never seen this problem with images after publishing. I've also worked with graphics for many years, but I can't seem to figure out what could be causing this problem with Flash compling this image.
The image is RGB, the image displays properly when opened in other applications on my computer, it also displays properly in the Flash library and on the stage. I've imported it as PNG and JPG, but neither of them work. The other graphics in my fla file look fine. When I publish/compile the Flash file, all the colors are messed up - you can barely make out the graphic, it looks all digitzed and pixelated, with major color distortions. I've tried adjusting the publish jpg quality, but that doesn't help. I'm convinced this is a bug in Flash, since I have the same problem when I publish on the laptop and on my desktop, but I'm not sure.
Is there any way to use incremental compiling? I seem to have added alot of bitmap graphics to my library and I think I may have added to much over time and dind't notice how badly it was affecting my compile time. In my next project, i'll definately be doing bitmap graphics last. But is there a way for me to do incremental compiling in flash cs 5.5 authoring tool?[code]....

Is there any way to remove compiler errors beacause it is coming every time when i run movie.
I have a large Flash presentation consisting of 12 slides. When exporting or previewing the movie all of the tweens appear corrupted. They flicker on the first keyframe - go blank - then display the last keyframe all static. I'm using CS3 on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHZ with 2GB of Ram. I have a dual boot setup and the same thing happens in both OS X and Windows XP. I've found a laborious work around in that if I go into each movieclip, and nested movieclip, move the timeline slider then re-export... that particular tween will then animate correctly. I can go through the entire file and thereby export the SWF with animations in tact... But this takes a lot of time and every time I restart my machine it has to be done again from scratch to export the file.... This has happened before on a large Flash file and I reinstalled Flash from scratch and it didn't fix it.
I'm wondering if this could potentially be a bug relating to how much RAM I have? I sent the file to someone who has 4GB of RAM on their PC and it exports correctly. I will be doing a lot of presentations of this nature and would like to know if there is a way to fix this bug or if it is really related to how much RAM you have and how big the Flash file is??

We have a flash vector type map with pan and zoom ability and need to have layer1 which features a simple flash vector map visible from the initial overview until when the user has zoomed in to a certain amount when a more detailed layer2 flash vector map then appears and layer1 disappears. I would imagine a code turning off or on visibility of a layer dependent upon the zoom is what we need.
