I have a weird bug with some textfields when i change the flash quality. It seems that the size of the textfield and the font size are changed each time i change the quality. I've attached the pics
normal01.png and normal02.png (quality change)
I should note they are all embedding the desired fonts. But when displaying my flash movie in low quality my text fields no longer appear... changing back to high quality the text fields appear fine.Is there a way to ensure the textfields will appear even at low quality? And what is the reason for them no longer rendering at low quality?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip in my library named mcLeaderboarditem. I've generated a class for it to manage the textfields.
The easiest way is to make a child of the class and manage the contents properties with the dot-syntax like this (documentclass):
var leaderItem:mcLeaderboardItem = new mcLeaderboardItem();
leaderItem.lblRank.text = "2nd";
addChild(leaderItem);

Probably it will be something stupid because of tiredness. Or is there an other way to do what i'm trying to do?
How do I change the stage quality to improve rendering performance in Flash Player AIR? StageQuality doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm using this in the Main() app class constructor:
stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;
Is there no other way to improve performance in AIR apps?
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.

View 2 RepliesI'm in the midst of the very honorable job of adding localization support for all kinds of languages. This would not be a problem if the main font we use would support asian and russian symbols.
After some nosing around I found a substitution font that has support for asian and russian symbols. However this substitution font isn't spaced in the same way as our original font. If I just replace the old font for the new font then all the text will be misaligned, too big and also lowered quite a bit.
What I'd like to do is when a textfield is loaded I check for what language is chosen and scale/resize/reposition the textfields accordingly.
I'm working on some optimisation techniques to allow Flash for export my .swf in various file sizes.I need to export the same .swf in a high quality and a lower quality version; so I normally just alter the JPEG quality manually.But I was wondering if there is a method using AS3 that allows me to adjust the JPEG quality dynamically?

Maybe some prototype which activates after the textfield is "created"?

When publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?

View 1 RepliesI have a flash presentation thats for a supermarket TV screen. Its big in file size 9.6MB. When I go file/export/export movie to quicktime and use the animation settings the file plays but leaves trail lines behind, skips frames and looks crap.

Millions of colours
All Key frames
24fps
or
DV - PAL
Frame rate 24fps
Quality Best

View 1 Repliesam using Flash CS5 and Photoshop CS3. The issue I am facing is while exporting from photoshop (optimized for web and devices) as png-24 , most of the images lose their quality inside flash. I have tried to make the publish settings for image quality 100. On lossless compression of the images, the image gets blurry. The total quality of display is highly degraded in flash in comparison to that of photoshop

View 1 RepliesI have an Actionscript project that I was building using Flash CS4. I embedded a font using the follow: [Embed(source="/bin/assets/fonts/MyriadPro-Regular.otf", fontWeight="normal", fontFamily="Myriad Pro")]
Then throughout my application in my TextFields I would set embedFonts to true antialiastype to advanced and set the thickness property of the text field. And setting the font-family from a stylesheet. This was all working exactly as I expected it would with no issues whatsoever and months of development.
I just upgraded to CS5 and published and none of my text is rendered at all. I was able to resolve this by removing the embedFonts = true from the textfields, but this leaves me with no control over the thickness at all.
I searched everywhere, does anyone know what the proper way to do this in CS5 is now? I've tried embedding my font directly within the CS5 IDE but still no thickness control.
I'm currently trying to mimic a screen from a flash game for my own inscrutable purposes, and a typical screenshot of the screen in question looks something like this . I've successfully found and extracted the background image from the file, and now I'm trying to find out the positioning of the various text fields. The actionscript for the SWF has the various textfields being declared as such:
public var speedText:TextField;
public var exp:TextField;
public var evadeText:TextField;
public var lvl:TextField;
public var critText:TextField;
The problem I have is that I can't find any instance anywhere in the code that actually assigns x, y, width, or height attributes to any of the text fields, nor are they anywhere on the stage using Flash CS4, so I can't determine their positioning at all. I've searched all actionscript files associated with the swf for any instance of the textfield names, without any hits except for assigning text to them. If they aren't receiving their positioning attributes via actionscript, how are they receiving these values, and how can I obtain them?
I have a movieclip on stage: I load inside it a form (via addChild). The form is made of textfields and movieclips and it is contained in a library object of MyForm class, extending MovieClip. So I have:
var myForm:MyForm = new MyForm();
myClip.addChild(myForm);
What happens: the MyForm class lets me interact with textfields (if I change a value of a textfield I can see it very clearly). But I can't manually reach the input textfields and the buttons (they don't respont to pressure, and I can't modify their content in the case of textfields). There seems to be something related to the fact that MyForm is contained inside myClip because if I load the form without the myClip container anything works again. I tried to use mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on myClip but it doesn't work.
I'm building a project and I need the audio to be of the highest quality when played back. I am using .wav files and I'm not too sure how to make them work.
I've tried the: play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
var s1:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Sound.wav"));
s1.play()
But I guess it doesn't work because it's not mp3. I also tried embedding it into the hit and down parts of my button but the playback is weird, it plays slower and broken up. I'd like there to be some sort of function buttons such as play, pause, stop and some kind of time slider like for video playback if that's possible too?
