IDE :: Components Disappear When Published - Export Classes
Mar 3, 2009
I've built a small, simple web page. One frame uses 3 ComboBoxes and one UIScrollBar. I set up my Components by dragging them from the Library and using the Property Inspector to give them values. Everything works fine and shows up when published... but then eventually, when published, all of the components show up as blank rectangles. I'm trying to minimize the data being loaded during Frames 1 & 2 due to the preloader. I chose to Export Classes in Frame 3. When I do this, my Components (in Frame 9) disappear. How can I solve this?
I have an MP3 file in Flash 5.5 that I have edited in the properties panel of the frame where the sound is...I basically cut a couple seconds off the beginning by editing the timeline. It plays fine when I'm in Flash, but when I publish the movie, the sound is published unedited.
when I inserted the code some of the symbols on stage disappeared. This did not surprise me because I did not understand the code, but then when I deleted the code it did not revert back. I dismantled the frame and dragged new symbols on stage and I still could not see them when I tested the movie. Checked to see if any code was written anywhere else but could not find any. The only code I had was a gotoAndStop which I was using simply to view that specific frame. when I removed the gotoAndStop finally the images appeared. If I placed a stop on the frame I wanted to view, then it worked fine but a gotoAndStop did not work as I was left with a white screen. Finally I had to recreate everything in a new document and then the gotoAndStop worked, but I have noticed that if I drag certain components on stage then I have a similar disappearing act.
I produce advertising banners with Flash CS4. I often have to comply to a max weight of 40K. Sometimes I use functionnalities that make Flash export actionscript classes to a frame in the swf which makes it exceed the 40k limit. Is there a way to make flash export those classes to a separate file instead of in a frame?
He has a preloader using the classes below but is exporting classes in frame 2 in the publish settings for faster preloading. Is it even possible to use classes on a preloader this way??? I thought it was easy but this one is crazy hard to figure out[code]...
So I posted a question earlier similar to this, but this is a totally different thing and in CS3, not CS4--and on a different machine. I have a video player .fla that imports VideoScaleMode and VideoEvent, but when I test the movie I get compile errors saying the definitions can't be found. These are in the fl.video package and that's how I'm importing them:
But for some reason they aren't found--or at least that is the error that is thrown. The same exact code in an .fla that I previously developed works perfectly, right next to the problem .fla at the same time in the IDE, so why in the world wouldn't it work in this one? In fact, even if I create a brand new AS3 flash document and paste the code above onto the timeline and test it, I get the 'definition not found' errors. But if I click over to my old .fla in the IDE and test it, no problem. And the AS3 settings (classpaths) are identical in these files.
I've written 3 classes and i'm using them in the first frame of my FLA.when i add the Radio Button to my stage, my classes don't do what they're supposed to do. Even if i just leave the radio button component in my library,
I am working on a text adventure game which will have at least a few components (a text area for narrative and text input for user input) on the stage at all times. Therefore, I have created those components statically through Flash's WYSIWYG design environment. I gave them instance names "myTA" and "myTI" respectively. I was able to get my main class (the document class for the stage) to interact with them (dynamically adding text one character at a time like a typewriter at runtime), but other classes in the same package don't seem able to recognize the stage components. Below is the relevant [code]...
When I try to export my application to native installer with using Export Build Release, it isn't importing my sqlite database files which are in my application directory. Is there a way that I can import those database files ?
I am created a dynamically adding a VBox, that contains two images. Into a Custom Component that is derived from UIComponent. The problem is the Vbox that contains the two image is only a really tiny size. I would like the VBox stretch to the size of the two images. This is how I am creating the Vbox....
Is it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?
how i can use actionscript component code in mmxl components,as in actionscript components we use classes ,but in mmxl component we can not use classes function, so how i can use actionscript component code in mmxl component
[Code]...
but i cant use this code in mmxl components how i can use public class DialogTitle extends HBox implements IBindingClient in mmxl component code,what are the way to use it,sorry i am newbie if it is silly question
The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I have an actionscript project which uses visual symbols from an SWC. I have a CheckoutButton which has the following class associated with it (compiled into the SWC in Flash CS3).
I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..
inheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes: gfxRoomText - changeable colour gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?
I have to use many custom classes for a project, each class includes lots of elements(methods,properties) and I generally forget their names when coding. Is there any editor which I can enumarate the elements of my classes after pressing "." like Flash's built in classes?
I am new to classes and I am just starting to follow tutorials on how to assign classes and sub classes and I am wondering when you assign a base class or class to an object(Symbol e.g movieclip) through the properties, are all instances on the stage no matter how many and what they are named influenced and is the Stage/main timeline always the parent? and just one more question, is the parents objects display list all the movieclips that are used on the stage or all the instances on the stage?
*Can two CS4's produce different published .swf from the same fileset?I have a flash suite written by a young man in China.When I test the .swf file in the suite it works fine.However I need to make some minor redesigns so I need to change the .fla file - but before I do I found that when I publish a new .swf from the .fla file (with all the necessary action scripts/xml etc in the right place) it doesn't produce the same outcome. Instead the navigation (next page, items per page etc) is missing.
When he does the same thing (I trust his integrity) he gets the new .swf with the navigation in tact.You can see the two outcomes at the web address below (mock data).There are no code changes, no library changes that I can find.So I thought maybe there is something about different settings or 'environments' that can affect the outcome?
I have a kind of unusual problem... Im building a prototype for a UI wich you can navigate around in. And we use a mockup-prototype-model with a numeric keyboard built in and connected trough USB to fetch keypresses and use that as a joystick to navigate around and get a feeling how it would feel like to navigate around using a joystick in your hands. The problem is that it sends kind of unusual keypresses from the joystick. Everything works fine when I test the movie in Flash CS5 on a mac (cmd + enter). But not on a PC or in all of the published modes (.exe, .swf or .app). The codes I use in my if statements to navigate that doesnt work is:
I can't get my "dock" to center horizontally when i publish the movie for full browser flash(100%/no scale).It works fine when you test the movie. I don't get it. heres the code
