I have... ~1300 "Drawing Objects" (read: Shape) sitting on the stage that were Paths in Illustrator and were pasted in as part of one cohesive image. I need to be able to access all of them via ActionScript, but as with my post on the AS side of this problem, they are all stuffed into a single Shape and not accessible independently.
View 2 RepliesSeveral months ago I created this, The Halo Galactic Map. After talking with a lot of people on their opinions and such, I wanted to take it to the next level and replicate the map found in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 shown here.
Based on my knowledge of Photoshop and some... and by some I mean very VERY little Flash... I took it upon myself and another member of the community to create this.
All was going well until the member decided it wasn't his cup of tea. Basically, he didn't like that he couldn't do it well enough.
Ok, so I've installed Flash and tooled around with it for a bit, but I want to get going. I know this isn't the best place to post this thread - I know there are probably better places - but I just wanted to know where and what to begin with. I have the whole thing planned out in levels, layers, and motion...
I am working on a flash project that has many fla files associated with it. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to publish many flash files without me having to manually open and publish them myself. I know in Photoshop there is a batch processing of actions but was unaware if there was one for Flash.
View 1 RepliesI have an AS3 based FLA that, for various reasons, needs nearly all of the linkages in the library reworked (need to move to a different package namespace).This particular FLA is pretty big, so doing this by hand would be rather tedious.I have considered saving out the FLA as an XFL, and just hand editing all of the XML files in the LIBRARY folder, and then saving out as FLA. Has anyone tried this? I have never worked with XFL files before, so I don't know what quirks I may run across.My problem has to do with loading SWFs and class conflicts because of multiple SWFs using the same package namespace. Without getting into too many details, I know about ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. I am currently loading into a new ApplicationDomain, but that isn't an ideal situation and is causing grief that won't be maintainable in the long run.
View 1 RepliesAny easy way to mark an entire package/directory and all subfiles as being [Deprecated]? I'm about to separate a large number (500+) of genericly-coded library files from our more app-specific ones, and need a way to notify developers they are using the files that have moved so they can point them to the new directory. In the meantime I'll be opening them all one-by-one

im trying to make a simple BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator but it doesn't seem to be working
my code is:
on (release) { BMI_SUM = (Number(WEIGHT_INPUT.text) / Number(HEIGHT_INPUT.text * HEIGHT_INPUT.text)); _root.BMI_FINAL.text = BMI_SUM; }
the BMI_FINAL.text box always displays NaN, and when traced it says Undefined and the code looks sound but i cant get it to work.

basically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work
