I'm trying to use Vector. in a Flash Professional Project, Person being a custom class. Eclipse keep saying it cannot find the type in brackets, even if I try with basic types like int or String[code]...
View 2 RepliesThe AS3 Reference says that...
ActionScript Code:
var v:Vector.<DisplayObject> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
...won't compile because the object's base type isn't the same as the variable's declared base type (even though Sprite is a subclass of DisplayObject)But I tried the following which compiles fine:
ActionScript Code:
var v:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
var a:Sprite = new Sprite();
var b:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I'm trying to convert a generic JSON object into a somewhat complex typed dto-like object that has the following properties:
firstName:String
lastName:String
contactInfo:Vector.<ContactInfo>
resources:Vector.<Resource>
The way I'm doing this is by giving the function metadata which sort of maps the JSON data properties to these data properties and their types, using reflection.So, I have a JSON object that might look something like this:
Code:
{
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Smith",[code].........
and that didn't even compile.
Consider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?
I'm getting

I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.
A gentleman doing the sound track for the video I want to do on Flash has asked me what audio files Flash will handle? I have looked at Adobe and Macromedia and many other Flash websites and, of course, Flash itself, and cannot find any enumeration of what video files Flash handles, much less any mention of what audio files.

View 3 RepliesI would like to add a very small and simple Flash audio player to my website. I have found lots of Flash MP3 players, but I can't seem to find players that will work with other types of audio files, such as aac/m4a/mp4.
I had previously been using Windows Media Server to stream WMA files on my site, but this only works for Windows users, and I need streaming to work for Mac users as well. So I think Flash is the way to go, but I cannot use mp3's because of licensing concerns.
I've been looking and looking for a flash player that supports other audio types, but can't find one. Is it true that flash has a native class for mp3, but doesn't have built-in support for others?

I have a large vector drawing (imagine 5000x5000) that i want to break up into separate pieces. I know that I can convert this vector drawing into a bitmap and then use the copyPixels method to create many separate bitmaps of the different regions of the original vector drawing, but is there any way to subdivide it into movieclips that just contain vector graphics instead of a bitmap?The reason im dividing a big chunk of vector graphics into smaller pieces is for performance reasons, so flash would only render a small part of this big chunk at a time (only certain regions/voxels/subdivisions are rendered at a time). But bitmaps apparently take up a lot of memory and the system im using would take much less memory if these subdivisions could be preserved in their original vector graphics form.
I imagine I could use masks somehow to achieve this effect (for each subdivision, duplicate the huge image and mask only the region that the subdivision represents), but I dont know the performance costs of masking or if this will create other problems.So is there anyway to split up a movieclip of vector graphics into smaller movieclips of vector graphics the same way copyPixels can with bitmaps?
Looking into HTML5 video tag, and researching which browsers support which video file types, and my initial thought is things just got harder than just using flash. I am wondering if there is some skeleton code (combined with development approach for videos) that someone has figured out to do the following: If flash is available, use it If not, try html5 video ogg format If that doesn't work, try html5 video h.264 format If that doesn't work, try html5 video webM format Based on what I am seeing, am I correct in thinking that now, in order to accommodate all users on all browsers, a video needs to be published in 4 formats? If so, this HTML5 video thing is an epic fail!
View 2 RepliesI have a simple landing page that im making for a website.The title to the site. Just plain simple static text but its just always edgy and aliased? I even tried making it orginally in a very large font size breaking it up and then reducing it in size. Still no luck.But when i zoom in using the right click menu its starts sharpening up and in real close-up seems razor sharp. But when the page is displayed at 100% size the text which is now much smaller is aliased.
View 21 RepliesI've imported a vector graphic from AI into my stage. When I click on the vector graphic that's been converted to movie clip symbol and drill down to the vector level, as soon as I insert a keyframe in the timeline, I no longer can use an eraser to edit the vector graphic. It automatically move up one level as soon as I insert a keyframe. Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting this behavior? I want to create a hand written effect with this vector grachic.If I draw a vector square on the stage, convert to movie cli, double double click the movie and then I am able to edit or change the vector shap but that's not the case with the imported AI file.
View 2 RepliesiSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

View 2 RepliesI need some help on how to save down a file. I created a flat vector design with linear and radial gradients. I now have to save this file down to be viewed and worked on in a very old version of Macromedia Flash (Yep, it's that old). The end file needs to be a .SWF. The problem I am having is when I save down, the curves of the vector are lost and get choppy and the gradients lose their coloring and don't look correct at all. I have saved down to every version Illustrator allows me to, exported as a SWF, manually dropped it into Flash CS4 and saved down but it never comes out looking the same.
There is only 1 layer in the file, all shapes are vectors, no masks and the only "effects" I guess you could say, are the gradient fills. how to get this file into Flash and keep it's curves and gradients?
I want to use numbers I've drawn myself to represent a number, but don't know how to implement this. How would I display the equivalent of an integer with these numbers? If it's necessary to have them in a tile pattern, which makes sense to me considering how older games worked, then what code would I use to switch between each? Or is there another, better way? Also, I need the number to be able to adjust to the number of digits in the number and read from left to right (so the 1 in 10 would be in the same place as the 1 in 1).
View 2 RepliesOur scenario is that we have a visualisation in a flex .swf that we load data into (through a web service call). Once the data has been loaded we would like to use the resultant image in a PDF.I can send an image of a DisplayObject back to the server as a PNG and put it into a PDF (using iText), but the png is not scalable and it looks bad in the PDF at different zoom levels.To add a bit more clarity. The visualisations are not vector graphics that we import or embed during development, they are charts and trend graphs and custom visualisations created through the flex/flash drawing API, at runtime, based on data retrieved from the server.
