When I drag and drop images in flash library, the path is sometimes relative (./somefolder/someimage.png), and sometimes it is absolute (D:lahsomefoldersomeimage.png).
How can I use only relative paths in flash library in order to be able to update all images from any computer and/or from any folder ?
I've downloaded the tweener.swc from their google project page I create my fla file put it in a folder and put in the same folder the tweener.swc file.
I go to ActionScript settings > Library path > hit the + button > I type the relative path which should be just tweener.swc or not sure but just a dot (.) or / to get all the classes and libraries from the same folder in which the fla is located.
But it says it can't load the swc or my imports don't find the classes.
P.S. With absolute path it works.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 and in one of my ActionScript projects, I have a referenced .swc library file.The way I added it was Project > Properties > Flex Library Build Path > Library Path tab > Add SWC...Here a popup occurs and I must select a .swc file by browsing through my machine and selecting one. Once I do that, it'll display the added library like this:
somelibrary.swc - /Full/Path/to/the/swc/here/lib/somelibrary.swc
What I want to be able to do is use a relative path instead, like:
somelibrary.swc - ../../lib/somelibrary.swc
Does anyone know a way to do this or a workaround to be able to use relative paths for swc libraries in Flash Builder?
I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don't have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application. Now, this .swf file is to be placed in the server system. While I am working with these, I faced an error. Here, my issue/problem(s) starts....
1.)With the help of URLRequest & URLLoader classes, I am loading a jpg file dynamically onto the stage using the following code:
[Code]...
This is a head scratcher. Why would a root relative path cause a Security Sandbox error.. but an absolute path to the exact same path work fine..
[Code]...
So I just found out the hard way that the path that Flash uses to load external content is based on the HTML it is embedded in, not the SWF itself. This is a problem for me because I have the HTML generated from a PHP file that is in a folder below the SWF. The PHP has other dependencies that would break if I moved it into the same folder as the SWF.So basically now my dev testing and web versions are separated by a folder.Is there a way to change the relative path Flash uses? Or am I going to have to hack things up?
View 1 Repliesthe same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
I am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page. This works really well when the flash, xml file and html page are sitting together in the same directory.url...However, I want to display that same content in another page which is deeper inside the site but outside of the directory that houses the .swf and .xml files as well as the assets.[code]The js files are loading properly but the flash content is not, so I could use a little help getting that sorted out.

It seems I have no trouble pointing an FLA's document class to my project's class package when the FLA is at the same root level as the package's top-level directory. However, if the FLA is nested in a sub-directory, then relative paths to a class nested in the package will not work.example package & class location : [url]....
Case1 :
Package location : MyProject
FLA location : MyProject[code]........
If someone can provide an explanation as to why nested FLAs can't point to custom packages in parent-level directories, OR demonstrate how this can be done,
I am having some trouble setting relative package source path in the ActionScript Settings Flash CS4.Below is the folder structure on my computer.[code]The only way it will work is with an absolute path like /Users/ jenrosamond/Desktop/Tri-Template/classes.This project is getting moved around to several different machines though, so that absolute path isn't going to work.
View 1 RepliesSpecifically, various MovieClips seem to be missing all of its content. I work in flash for a while, make a series of changes, save the file and close it, and then reopen the file. Upon reopening, the artwork inside the MovieClip does not appear. The former artowrk can be bitmaps, shapes, drawn objects, or even other symbols. I can take the time to replace the missing artowrk inside the symbol (the symbol is still there on the stage and in the library, just the artwork is missing), but three saves and closes from now, the artwork may be gone again, or new MovieClips may appear empty - there appears to be no discernable pattern yet.
View 1 RepliesI've seen that it's very simple to create a document class (a class associated to the main timeline itself), or an instance of a class which is linked to a single asset (e.g. a movie clip).But what if I need to implement a class (let's call it Main) which uses multiple assets from the Flash library? The only way I know to do this is by instantiating any asset with its linked class, and passing them all to the Main constructor like this:
ActionScript Code:
var asset1:Asset1 = new Asset1(...);
var asset2:Asset2 = new Asset2(...);
var asset3:Asset3 = new Asset3(...);

This is kind of a tedious process, especially when the composition hierarchy is long and you have to pass them all as arguments through many nested classes.For instance, I needed to link a preload sprite (the typical circle in gradient color which is constantly rotating until the load is complete) from the library to any thumbnail class of a gallery, which in turn is part of another class, which in turn is part of the main class. So I needed to pass this preload clip as an argument throughout the nested classes.
In my flash project, I make a call to an xml file using url... and it works fine as long as the userhas entered url... in the url. If the user enters url...without the www my xml file wont load.I can't use a relative path here because I share the widget on other sites. Any ideas, how I can let both users that enter the www and no www see the widget load properly ?

View 1 Repliescreate a flash viewer, which will load various other flash movies. The viewer will be in the root directory, but the flash movies it will load are a few directories deep. Those movies access various sound clips that are in an audio directory relative to each swf I want to load.
/flashViewer.swf
/myContent/someProgram/program.swf
/myContent/someProgram/audio/sound1.wav
It seems that when I load one of these movies into my viewer, the loaded movie is looking for the sounds in an audio folder in the root directory, and not relative to the swf I loaded. Is there a way to set this? I would rather not have to make the changes in each of my other movies to use the absolute path
I have a flash movie (let's call it B.swf) that loads an XML file which is located in the same directory to provide some data. This flash movie works fine itself. Now, I've made another flash movie, a main movie (let's call it A.swf), which loads different SWF's in turn, including the aforementioned one B.swf (which now would be located along with the XML file in a subdirectory).
To my surprise, I've checked that now I get an error, as the path I specified for the XML file in B.swf is not valid anymore when B.swf is loaded from A.swf. The relative path from which it's searching for the file is the directory where A.swf is located, not the one where B.swf is located, as happened when this movie was executed standalone.
Is there any way to fix this so that I don't have to change the path I specified in the code and I can use B.swf either way externally loaded or standalone?
Code:
/
|-main.swf
|-game
|-game.swf
|-assets
|-a.jpg
let's say I have a file structure like above, I have game.swf loads resource by relative path like "assets/a.jpg". It runs fine on its own. But when I try to load game.swf from main.swf (using relative path again "game/game.swf") it tries to find a.jpg from "/assets/a.jpg" instead of "/game/assets/a.jpg"
I'm attempting to use a relative path with SendAndLoad to my php query page named variables.php. Things seem to work just fine when I reference variables.php using an absolute path [URL], but variables are being returned as undefined when I attempt to call the page using just "variables.php." To add complexity, the swf is being referenced in an included page which is wrapped inside another page.
I know the path needs to be relative to the html/php page, not the swf itself. But what if the html page where the swf is encoded is actually being called from within another wrapper? I'm assuming the path needs to be relative to the final page, regardless. My guess is that the php isn't being parsed correctly when called via the relative path, which is the cause of my problem. Can anyone provide any insight? /dir/media/myflash.swf is called by /includes/myincludedswf.php which is then called by /home/final page.php if variables.php resides in the home directory, shouldn't I be able to use the path "variables.php" in the SendAndLoad directive?
I'm building a site that loads in various swfs for each section, which in turn load in videos, sounds, xml etc. Lets call these 'third level stuff'. Does anyone know how I can load the third level stuff into their swfs without having to put full paths in from the Main swf file? I hope that makes sense?! for example. A loaded swf pulls in a video from its own directory, so would look something like:
ActionScript Code:
request = 'videos/video1.flv'

I am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?
I started using Flash CS5. I spent many hours working on a .FLA file. Saving as I went and at one point Flash CS5 crashed during the save. The .fla file is now corrupt. The new .fla format is essentially a .zip file. So I was able to change the file name to *.zip and explore inside of it. The DOMDocument.xml file is corrupt and dead. The DOMDocument.xml is the timeline so all my placement and animation is gone. However, my LIBRARY folder is in tact and has all of my library items as *.xml files. How I can get those library items into another .fla file so I don't lose ALL my work? I've tried creating a new .fla file and dragging the LIBRARY folder into the new .fla, but my library items don't show up when I load the new .fla in the Flash CS5 IDE.
