IDE :: Big Site, External Swf's Or Library Components?
Jan 21, 2009
I am at the start of creating a large site with many different components: Basic text areas Latest projects with images / video Blog with text, images and video Secure login area to view protected projects
What would you recommend for this type of project. Throw all assets (main text area, blog, latest project etc) and separate them into their own mc's, then call them onto the stage? Or have them all external sepearate swf's?

I want to:
1) Place symbols on the stage manually in loaded.fla
2) Exclude these symbols from the swf because they will already be in loading.swf
So I:
1) Created a component.fla
2) Created a "comp" symbol in the fla
3) Turned that symbol into a component via Component Definition
4) Exported the comp.swz into Configuration/Components/MyComps
5) Opened up loaded.fla
6) Pulled the comp component onto the stage
7) Went to file AS settings and added Configuration/Components/MyComps to the External Library Paths
8) Compiled loaded.swf and played it
BUT the swf includes the comp component on the stage...which is NOT what I wanted. I only want the swf to work and have a reference to comp when it it loaded into loading.swf.Why haven't the classes in comp been excluded?Obviously this is a workaround for runtime shared libraries, which is unpredictable, time-wasting and generally painful. Is there a better way to retain WYSIWYG and share symbols? I don't want to do dynamic placing.

I need to integrate ASP.NET into an existing Flash site. The site is heavily laden with Flash and needs to communicate with a SQL Server database. I want to use ASP.NET SQLDataSource for this purpose. Given that I need to integrate the two technologies for one web page on the site, do I need to make the site fully ASP.NET with embedded Flash objects? Or, can I just add a single ASPX page to the site that contains the web.config and connection string to SQL Server?

I am looking to build a set of components for Flash that our developers can use throughout future projects.The components are not covered by the standard set of Flash UI components and I don;t think I need to really extend the UI Interface. Instead I would like to be able to distribute a library of FLA (non-compiled) components so that a developer/designer can simply drag a component out of the Library and then edit it however they wish.Maintaining the ability to edit components is import, and this would be too limited if it meant creating skins or only changing things programatically.

using datalist and button from components library. If the datalist is not selected and user pushes button I want it to do nothing, right now if user has not clicked on datalist for selection and clicks the button it takes them to www.domain.com/undefined. I am trying to run it like so with a setFocus so it will highlight datalist if not selected:
Code:
_global.style.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
var arUrl:Array=["/browsecategory.aspx?cat=1","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=2", "/browsecategory.aspx?cat=3"];
var provider:Array=[{label:"Selection 1",data:0}, {label:"Selection 2",data:1}, {label:"Selection 3",data:2}];
choice.mcList.dataProvider=provider;

I am running CS3 but have to upgrade... so I downloaded a trial of Flash 5.5. The only components in the component window are video related. Where are the scroll components?? Do they not come with the software any more? Am I supposed to download those? If so how/where?

I'm trying to control the behavior of components in my Flash Library using a .as file class, but it doesn't seem to be working.
For example, if I have a Button in my library called exampleBtn and attempt to do this in the .as file:
exampleBtn.visible = false;
... nothing happens. The button is still visible in my application when I run it.
Can anyone explain the workflow to make a Flash library component accessible in a .as class file using Flash CS5?

I have a swc file, loaded in my components panel and dragged it to my library. It is a file which allows flash as3 to evaluate strings as numbers as such. My problem is when I import the file
import r1.deval.D; I get an error message "the class r1.deval.D must subclass flash.display.MovieClip since it is linked to a library clip of that type".
I've been sitting here for hours following the developers guide and numerous examples of how to do this yet have not found the correct process.

I'm new to Flex and am having trouble understanding Events. I think Events are what I want to use for my situation. I have 2 components, addUser.mxml and listUsers.mxml. I access these from a ViewStack in my main application. When I load listUsers.mxml it shows a list of current users in a datagrid via a HTTPService call. When I add a user using the form on addUser.mxml I would like the datagrid in listUsers.mxml to refresh when I return to that view to show the new user. I've tried several different things with addEventListener and dispatchEvent but can't seem to get it working. Can someone help me with this logic?

I am trying to link some text to an external web site. I am using the following code, but whenever I try to launch the external web site, I get prompted by Adobe Flash Player Security saying that it has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. It then tells me that I need to change my security settings in order to view the website. I am wondering if there is any way around stopping the security check, or is this built into Flash?
Code:
var linkLaunch:URLRequest = new URLRequest('content/web/fuel/project/home.html');
navigateToURL(linkLaunch);

I need to have 4 external links going into my my flash site, seperat frames. It kind of works when using anchors in my "main.swf", and not load the "main.swf" using the loader component, but then all by itself the "main.swf" starts to jump between the 4 different anchors. When I load the "main.swf" using the loader component, nothing happens, and I feel I need to have the loader component aswell. I have tried to put the anchors in seperat frames in the "main.swf" aswll as in the "loader.swf".
This is how my site is build:
index.htm (with the html anchor codes needed) with the loader component "myLoader" in the index.htm loading the "main.swf".

how to preload external swf's into my main site. I have tried all sorts of differents codes and ways to set it up, but nothing seems to work. I have a preloader I use to load the whole site, with this code
myProgressBarListener = new Object();
myProgressBarListener = function (eventObject) {
myProgressBar._visible = false;[code].....
is there a way i can take this code and the preloader i have made and place it on one frame in my timeline and change the code a little bit to provide for my external swf to be loaded into a holder?If anyone has links to how to do this easily that would be awesome. I am having quite a headache trying to figure this out. I have a lot of photo galleries that i need to preload when the button is hit and you are directed to that frame in the movie, so people have something to look at while that photo series loads.

I wanted to create a site that would load external swfs as subsites. So you've got main swf with menu and buttons which will load certain swf after click. (I provide the example in the zip folder).Loaded swf further loads a text and image for himself.My problem is that after some time clicking through different sub sites the site is starting to slow down. I'm not sure what am I doing wrong in my opinion it might be:
- wrong way of unloading swfs of the sub sites
- fact that externally loaded swfs load external data from xml and images
I provided only structure example in a .zip file (the problem is more visible with heavier swf's). In externaly loaded swf's there are couple of tweens and reflected images (created using reflect class)

I've created a flash website and have split it up into different swfs and have added pre loaders so it loads more cleanly. When I preview the site the links open up the external swfs no problem, but once the site it uploaded the swfs don't load, it appears that the main movie restarts insted of the external swfs (only the contact button works because it's part of the main movie).The 4 buttons at the bottom of the main page go to frames with the follwing or similar action script
designplay.loadMovie("design.swf");
This frame also contains the clip (designplay) which the design.swf should load into. It appears the issue is with the paths, I've spent a long time trying to fix this and just can't get it.
