I'm wondering if there is (and I feel there HAS to be) a way to fine tune movements with the 3D rotation tool. Using the mouse works to an extent, but just like nudging movements with the arrow keys, it's sometimes impossible to get the placement I want with mouse dragging.I'm pretty new to using these tools so maybe it's super obvious and I'm missing it?

View 1 RepliesI am into an AS3 project where we have used strict OOP . We have around 2000 different controls(in different views) which can be classified into around 30 different types. Each of them have a base class and the rest are derived from them. Now we are reaching the finall stages of the project and we badly need some performance improvement.
We can broadly classify views into Single view(only one particular control is displayed) and group view(where 16 to 256 controls may be grouped). When dealing with these groups the performance comes down significantly that the knobs and faders jerk on moving. The single view knobs and the group view knobs logic is derived from the same base class..
Now i tried to listen to mouse move events at the stage level and on tracing the event target i found that all the objects are sending out mouse events.. Is there anyway to capture all the unwanted mouse events at the object level itself?
I'm using the stage object to align multiple MC's. My question is how do I affect a MC's position if I want to have it be centered on both axis but 100px away from the bottom margin instead of the top relative to the size of the window?here's my positioning code:
[AS]
navBar._y = Stage.height;
navBar._x = Stage.width/2;
tpShadow._x = Stage.width/2;
[code].....
Also if i'm using an empty MC to load external swf's, do the external swf's have to have AS for positioning as well or do I position the empty MC in the base movie?
I have written a small application that plays flv files based on information I fetch from a database. Works fine when I run it inside the tool (Adobe flash CS3) but as I put it on my server the graphics becomes garbled, i.e. the play button suddenly takes up half the stage and so on. I heard there are bugs in CS3 but this?

if i run the page locally on my machine, the banner looks fine no matter the browser. however, on the free hosting service server, size and position of certain movie clips are messed up in IE, safari and opera. they overlap in places, and u can see the corner of something that's supposed to be off the stage. why? note: the hosting service put some junk after my </body> tag.[URL]...
View 6 RepliesI am looking to get access to individual legend items in actionscript (a Legend Item being the label and coloured block identifying a chart series). Does anyone know of a property of the Legend or Chart that gives access to all of the currently displayed LegendItems in a Legend?
I know this is possible by using LegendMouseEvents, as the events give access to the LegendItem that has been clicked/rolled over ect. However, I cannot rely on an event in this case.
Finally got this project all wrapped up and working perfect, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore. Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which I hand placed into the FloorMC - which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.

I created a set of FLVs using Avidemux and then super to get them from DVD to FLV. The final configuration was:[code]They play fine in VLC, but for some reason from the get go they are a half second or so slow in the browser.I did notice in VLC for some reason the movies show as 47.7~ FPS, but I can't imagine that's correct. I'm re-encoding them as FLV1/MP3 for now with the same settings, but does anyone know of any common causes for this? I read something about a qt "fast start" issue, but I didn't know how to fix that.
View 1 RepliesI'm converting a several-years-old all-Flash site for a friend. I can activate the site in any browser if all the files are stored on my local drive but when I FTP the files to a server and try to launch, I get an error indicating either that the server has timed out or that the process is taking too long. I suspect the problem is in the index.html file which refers to some very old locations where the Flash Player is probably no longer obtainable, but I'm not sure.

I created a custom google voice callback swf so someone could put in their phone number, and google voice will call them and connect them to me (essentially calling me). Everything works fine when i run it from my computer, but when I put it online it doesn't work.
The way it works is you put in your own phone number and name, then click call, and it rings the phone of the phone number you put in. This doesn't happen when accessing it from online though.
I've provided a link to the fla for your view, and I'll also post the embed code I have on my site.

Building a website and the navigation menu is flash (.swf file). The mnuLoader.swf file retrieves information from settings.xml file. Everything worked perfectly when I tested in localhost/website/page.html. When I upload to hosting server www.website/index.html the mnuLoader.swf displays but does not load (its like it can't find the settings or picture files and displays the same as when you are waiting for something to load etc).
I have tried changing the xml file path from relative to absolute and no change. All three files index.html - mnuLoader.swf - settings.xml are in the same directory and the mnu_imgs folder contains the img icons for the menu. I don't understand why it would work on localhost but not on the actual server? Also directly underneath on the website I have another flash banner (just looping text pretty much) that works fine both on localhost and actual server so am pretty sure is not an access issue etc.
The mnuLoader.swf is Flash 8
This swf works fine when its not in a google gadget.It will read and write xml as the user interacts wtih it. Why once its embeded inside a gadget will it only read xml? It will not send xml to my file on my server and write a new xml file.

var reg3 = new XML(myendxml); //Chat.text += "in the function"; var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.xmlData = reg3;

As you can see on [url]...the last part of the Flash movie seems to be broken. Oddly enough, when I take the embedded SWF and view it separately[url]...
I'm not a flash expert, I don't know what can go wrong with embedding etc. but the actual FLA file seems to be ok, the map layer that is coming through randomly at the end shouldn't even be there! The frames at this point of the timeline on this layer are actually empty.
I have simple navigation code setup to step through frames (I'm using Flash instead PowerPoint--too many pictures that are PSDs and illustrations that are AIs to do the conversions over to something PowerPoint understands).[code]When I test it using the debug (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) it works fine.When I publish it, the up and down arrows work but the Home and End keys do not work.They do nothing, no error messages, nothing.Using Flash CS4 Pro 10.0.2 ActionScript 3.

I have a flash menu on this site: www.lakecenter.org. The menu works fine in all browsers EXCEPT IE9. It looks like this javascript file is not loading:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/ActiveContentDropDownWide.js"></script>
In IE9 it just displays BUTTON1, BUTTON2 etc but in all other browsers it displays the complete menu. This is what happens when the ActiveContentDropDownWide.js script is removed which is why it seems to be a problem with that script and IE9. But I could be wrong?
I have a project that plays several sounds and triggering interaction on key presses. On mac everything is fine - the animation and the sound gets triggered simultaneously. However, when I port it to windows (either as a swf or exe projector), there seems to be a .5 second delay in the sound. I have to load the sound files from a local filesystem. I've tried pre-loading all the sound so I can just play the sound object when needed, but the latency is always there.

View 4 RepliesSo I picked up a project after some time of being away from it. The text fields worked fine under CS4, but under my new windows install and with CS5 the text fields turn blank when I try to change them. Everything else seems to work. I tried embedding the font with the embed button, but that didn't do anything.The text that it starts off with is there on the screen, but when I change it with something like: tEnemyPieces.text = "blah blah blah";the field turns blank.If I trace tEnemyPieces.text it will trace as "blah blah blah". But the text will not show on the screen.
