I want to show the structure of any xml document and use the drawing API to connect nodes so that is looks like a phylogenetic tree. Each node in the xml document could have any number of child nodes and sibling nodes that need to be arranged at run time so they don't overlap. I attached a sample image to show the idea of the phylogeny.
View 1 RepliesI seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.
Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?

View 2 RepliesRight now I can create a straight line from mouse down to mouse up. What I can't quite get is a preview of that line. does anyone know of a simple way to show a preview of the line while the mouse is still down and the user is moving the mouse?
What I have now:
Code:
var clip:Shape = new Shape();
addChild(clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startLine);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drawLine);
function startLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
} function drawLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
clip.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xff9933);

Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.
I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

I've created a drawing tool which allows the user to draw on the canvas, the problem is that if I try to draw over a movieclip nothing happens. Is there a way I can allow for the user to draw over movieclips? For example if I had a background of paper?

I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.

I'm not sure if this is technically a web service or not but I have a Flash file that periodically needs to make a round trip to a DB. As it stands, AS3 uses the URLLoader class to exchange XML with an ASP.NET/VB file on the server. The aspx code then goes to the DB and returns whatever information is requested back to the Flash file.As my program grows and I need to execute a larger variety of tasks on the server, I'm wondering if I should just keep placing functions in that same aspx file and specify in AS3 which function I should load for any given task. OR, is it better to break up my functionality into several different aspx files and call the appropriate file for the task?Are there any obvious pros and cons to either method that I should consider?
View 1 RepliesI have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags. Maintags are describing the image itself and "normal" tags are referring to other images. If you click on an image/movieclip its normal tags should be read and referring to other images' maintags which now should be loaded into the movieclips.Sounds complicated but actually it's easy. Theoretically I understand what to do, but I'm not able to express it in Actionscript.Here's my(rudimentary) code:

I am editing a free template and I have a problem. The original free template (175 Photo Gallery by flashmo.com) has 6 frames; 3 galleries, 2 "text pages" and a contact us form. I want to have 5 galleries and the contact us form.I copy-paste the actions and structure of the galleries on the "text pages" and edit this 2 new actions to link to the new gallery file (in this case the number 4): Code:flashmo_gallery03.load_gallery("flashmo_175_photo_list_04.xml");The problem is, I assume you have seen it already, is that the action to gallery 4 is linked to gallery 3, since no gallery 4 and 5 exists in the structure of the site.I have noticed that the .as file that controls the frames is a "pagecontect_8.as" file (thx to Trillix decompiler) that I assume is internal. The original code is:
Code:
//class pagecontents_8

View 7 RepliesI dont know if its the right forum for my post or not. But I need to ask if there is anyway to show the folder structure of a clients PC in flash when the user clicks on a browse button in a web site just like the one below? I googled for a "Multiple File Uploader using flash" but what I found there is that an open file window opens and we are able to select multiple files from it. I could not found anything like below. So my question is that whether we will be able toshow all the folder structure or not?
View 2 RepliesI have an all Flash based website with a few sections and UILoaders for PopUps which open up from image buttons from Product section. (url...)
PROBLEM: I have assigned labels to each section of the website. Each section has its own image buttons which open different PopUps. This is the part where the sections differ from one another and thus require its unique part of AS3. However there are main menu buttons present on every section of the site. This is where the sections are identical and require one uniformed AS3.
PRESENT SOLUTION: I have segmented the AS3 layer by keyframes to match the keyframes of the labeled section. I put the code for all the main menu buttons on the first opening keyframe which plays the intro sequence and the stop(); code as well. Then I put stop(); in the beginning of every single section afterwards, I did not repeat the code for the buttons from the first keyframe but started to add the code required by corresponding section only (i.e. products section has only products relative code, application section has only application relative code, etc. and none of the main menu buttons code from the first opening keyframe, even though the main menu buttons are present on every section).
QUESTION: Should the AS3 layer be one uninterrupted layer with all AS3 code needed for all of the website elements on the timeline or should it be segmented by keyframes per corresponding sections of the webstie and repeat all the code from section to section if the elements and functionality repeat as well?

Now I can see the point they are making here but I am still unable to see away around some simple problems. And this brings me to my question (finally). I am setting up a simple tower defense game in AS3 as a learning exercise. I want enemies to follow way points so I was going to make an array of way points, and make that a property of a map object. And a way point was to be an object with an x and a y property (more like a struct).
