View 2 RepliesI have the Adobe CS4 Master Collection and I'm interested in purchasing Flash CS5 by itself, rather than the entire Master Collection. I want to get the upgrade discount, but I was wondering if I can only upgrade from the version I have. (e.g. Master CS4 --> Master CS5 ; Design Premium CS4 --> Design Premium CS5)So, if I buy the upgrade version of Flash CS5, will I be able to install it?
View 3 Repliesopening included templates in Flash CS5 and then telling the program to test the movie within the environment shows Flash trying to export an SWF file and then crashes. the program will alllow the movie to be played inside the environment, however.
debugging yields the same crash:
Problem signature:

DW opens and using one of its templates, no problems so far.Read about <supposedly> certain .Wacom tablet drivers and flash...don't have any such device installed, but stopped the generic windows tablet service....no change in the problem.
I've a question about garbage collection in flash.I'm making a game using with Flash AS3. This game will stay open for a few hours, like 5 - 6 hours. People will play it again and again in these hours. I have 15 loader in my flash game and don't want to have a problem with Garbage Collection. I'm uninstalling every load object when it is not necessary but i'm not sure do i have trouble about this garbage collection?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if it's possible to apply garbage collection to the new StageVideo component in AS3? I have tried with no success! Code is below:
if ( this._stageVideo == null )
{
this._stageVideo = stage.stageVideos[0]; this._stageVideo.addEventListener(StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE, stageVideoStateChange);
}

I'm building an Adobe AIR desktop app with Flash CS5 that makes a lot of use of bitmapdata, bytearrays and base64 strings. After a while the memory usage of the app doubles. Is it recommended to use system.gc() to free memory at that point or is that bad practice?
View 2 RepliesFor my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.
right now I'm walking myself through senocular's OOP in flash tutorial. I use regular MX, and thus, actionscript 1.0. My question: should I follow through with this tutorial? I plan on upgrading flash when mx05 comes.change everything I know over to AS 2.0? does 2.0 just have added features, or does it change everything around?
View 6 Repliesi'm using AS3.I cannot divulge too much, but i have a multiscene, fairly complex flash program that runs fine in CS3. Upon upgrading to Flash CS4 - i can open the file and edit it any which way, but when testing it (ctrl+enter) i get an error in the output window (1009) and a blank test window, as if it doesn't want to start.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know an Actionscript equivalent of the javascript getElementsByClassName.
What I would like to do is add a custom 'stylename' to various components which I can then use to get a collection of these objects and therefore process their visibility property.
The idea is I want to hide various components based on what roles a logged in user has - I just want to make this flexible by adding an array of rolenames to a custom property or use the stylename property on a Canvas or Panel etc.
Has anyone else noticed a lot of things breaking since flash player 11 was released? I have input text fields that display html content in them. They also have an image embed in them as well. Before people could enter text in them with no problems and now suddenly all the text types from right to left and is completely backwards?
Just to be clear it's not aligning to the right, the actual letters are coming out backwards like it might do for another language that is from right to left. These text fields are not TLFTextFields just regular textfields.
I have other textfields just like this that, but they don't have images in them and they seem to be working fine. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it with flash player 11?

Anyone know if it is possible to keep a MASTER crossdomain policy file in a subdirectory of the domain?url...I know you can do it with a meta policy file, but I want to do it with the MASTER because without a master the meta's are ignored.I've googled this for hours and read through the official spec several times and come up with nothing. With the server I want to do this on its possible to deploy in any subdirectory except the domain root - thats just the constraints I'm under.

View 1 RepliesWhen I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();

I have an array, crewPositionsAC that contains a list of position abreviatations - EP, PR, DR, WR, and so on. These positions are read in through an XML file each time my flex application loads. Also being populated from an XML is a project. Within a project, there are positions (a student assigned to a type of position listed within crewPositionsAC). These positions are not necessarily in the correct hierarchy order dictated by crewPositionsAC. I have all the positions within an ArrayCollection (positionsAC) with the following structure:
positionsAC (arrayCollection)
[0] = Array
[0] = startOffset
[1] = numDays
[code].....
Then, the user can click a button to add another position. When the "Add Crew Member" button is pressed, the user is presented with a list of possible positions to add. Currently, I simply add another array to positionsAC. This results in the recently added crew member to placed on the bottom of the list. I need to take positionsAC and reorder it based on it's [2] item (role) based on the hierarchy defined in the crewPositionsAC. crewPositionsAC has the following structure:
crewPositionsAC:
[0] = EP
[1] = PR
[2] = DR
[3] = WR
* continue until all possible position types are listed
will be converting some web page forms developed with macromedia flash mx 6.0 to flash pro cs5.5
searched a lot for 'upgrade macromedia to adobe' , 'convert macromedia....' etc etc and found basically nothing called adobe tech support and they say 6.0 will not convert, oldest to convert would be 8.0 and didn't offer any help beyond that, downloaded the cs5.5 trial, opened up the 6.0 source ok, made a couple quick edits like changing label names etc, recompiled and ran on website using the existing codebase load and... pages loaded ok, drop down boxes worked, etc but some strange things like input text boxes for numerics only would only accept 0,9, and alphabet characters. so am not sure what to expect, theres a fair amt of action script, 8k lines, creating xml list to pass to succeeding web pages, etc etc so there's a bit going on.
Were in the process of upgrading the FMS server licence to a FMIS licence. My question is that when we upgrade will we lose any of the functionality of FMS3.0 that is not present in FMIS. The FMS is currently used for direct streaming.
View 1 RepliesI have noticed a problem with the display of gradients since upgrading to CS4, and continuing in CS5. Prior to that, gradients used to display fairly reliably in Flash. Now I have noticed the following problems in CS4/CS5, on multiple computers and monitors. For instance, If I display the following drawing, which has several gradients, it looks like this on the left side of the screen:
If I drag the object--which is a graphic object from the library, drawn completely inside of Flash--to the right side of the screen, it looks like this: As you can see, the gradients do not display properly. The same thing happens when I scale the image down to a smaller size. It invariably looks worse on the right side of the screen than on the left. This display problem carries through into the SWF file when I export the movie.
In order for a complicated gradient drawing to look good on the right side of the screen, it has to be enlarged. This just didn't happen--using the same machines--with CS2.
Here's are the errors: VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of allowInsecureDomain in _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory. ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory is not defined.
SwdModule is a module used within the organization and there's an application that loads this (and various other modules) at run time. I've read on other stack overflow and various web site that this error was caused because the modules and the main app. were compiled using different Flex SDKs. I verified and checked up on this, but all of my SWFs are compiling using 3.5.
Can anyone think of anything else why this error would be occuring?
After upgrading the Flex SDK from 3.1 to any newer version of the SDK and trying to compile an existing project, the following error appears in the Problems pane:
Description: { expected Resource: (shows project name, not a specific file) Location: line 15
Any ideas how to solve this or where to start the bug hunt?
It looks like the problem is in the ...sdks/3.3.0/frameworks/libs/player/10/playerglobal.swc file, but I'm certainly not sure.
I've upgraded a FlexBuilder3 project to FlashBuilder4, and I am seeing many compilation errors regarding unsupported tag attributes:
The style 'backgroundDisabledColor' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.TextInput' with the theme(s) 'halo'
Here is the offending mxml element:
<mx:TextInput x="245" y="86" id="code1" maxChars="15" change="enableButton(event)" cornerRadius="9" borderStyle="solid" backgroundDisabledColor="#7977b6" />
what is the best workaround for this particular error? I was able to easily resolve a similar error with the "backgroundColor" attribute by changing it to "contentBackgroundColor", and was hoping there was a simple workaround for backgroundDisabledColor as well. I realize I can apply a css style, but I'd rather have a simpler solution as there are many many other attribute errors similar to this one.
I just upgraded from a Macbook that was using OS X Tiger to a new Macbook with OS X Snow Leopard. Now, when I open my flash files on the new computer, they are rendering the fonts slightly differently and off position. I am using the same software (Flash CS4) and the same font library.
View 1 RepliesWe have several systems, inside and outside (development, test and production), that we need to upgrade FMS on Over time, I have found the process utterly cumbersome, prone to errors and time consuming... and outright annoying therefore.The permissions are never consistent, usually insecure (tmp and other directories world writable), and so onI wonder if anyone here has come up with a nifty way to work around this. For example, our setup is pretty uniform, so it's really unnecessary to do an interactive install all the time -- I could of course strip down the installFMS script, but I don't want to conflict with future changes
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make my flex app work on Android, and that involves making an AIR app to run on Android. Seeing as the flex app needs the mic, an AIR app is required. I am using flash builder 4.5 on win7 with air 2.6. The trouble seems to be that most of it is now not available. For example mx.containers is there, but not mx.containers.viewStack. I notice that there are obvious equivalents in spark for some components but not others. VBox, HBox, Canvas VDividedBox, AdvancedDataGrid and associated custom renderers are the components my application uses the most. What is the fastest way to make this work on Android, I am under time pressure. Is there a site somewhere that recommends the best way to do this, and what components can be replaced with which?

In my machine I have installed only Adobe Flash CS5 proffesional trial version. Now this installation is not supporting adobe.utils.Extension class in this version. I have tried with all latest updates from adobe site. My doubt is does adobe.utils.Extension class is available in licensed version of Adobe Flash CS5 proffesional?
View 12 RepliesI'm currently developing a series of education video games that work much like the game Myst. The students can walk around in virtual environments that have been modeled in 3d and are displayed as static panoramas. Each panorama has areas that allows them to interact with different tools and instructional interfaces. Currently each node is loaded either as it is needed, or right before it is needed to prevent loading times but the overall file size of the games(5 games total each with 20-30 nodes and 8-14 interfaces) is starting to get a bit too much.
Also in the current game we're using papervision3d to have fish that swim and are caught and put into holding tanks in an underwater bathysphere.
The current game is divided into rooms, and each room has several nodes. Every single node is a seperate folder that contains a spherical panoramic png file, a swf file that loads the panorama and an xml file that determines if the node links to any neighbors and whether or not there are any active interfaces that should be loaded into the panorama.
Each interface contains libraries that are being embedded into each interface and panorama. For example we use the greensock tweenmax, and TimelineLite in the majority of our nodes. This is a small 6-13kb that is loaded into each of the 20+ nodes. Other libraries such as the papervision or component libraries for forms/checkboxes can start to reach substantial sizes. Also many images are duplicated in each node.
I want to create a simple game (Adobe Air) based on 2 players using ActionScript 3.Let's assume I want to create online chess game.So that I can play with my friend at work, at home, from anywhere via internet.Should I use flash server? Or something similar for this purpose, or there is simpler way to connect 2 players and make fully functional interaction between them?
