Is there an extension or mod available to allow Flash CS3 have bracket highlighting? I just think it would be very useful and save split seconds of confusion.

In the new Flash CS5 Actionscript editor, there's a bug with the auto close bracket. If I have an existing pair of brackets, when I hit the Return key in the same line as the opening bracket, the editor automatically inserts a closing bracket even when it is not needed. However if I press Return on the line after the bracket, it will not close the bracket. I don't seem to experience this in Flash Builder. One possible way is to disable the auto close bracket option but I find the auto close bracket is useful despite the slight annoyance mentioned above. I expect the editor would be able to detect if there's already a closing bracket and not insert a new one.

I'm trying to implement solr hit highlighting using a flex client. There are lots of examples out there to do high lighting in client side writing logic to do this, but couldn't find proper solution to tag them from back end (eg. some words<pretexttag>keyword<posttexttag>some words) so that it automatically highlight with results.

View 1 RepliesI have a menu that is HTML/CSS. When I mouse over a menu item, I would a Flash header to change scenes accordingly.
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
I will be using Flash 8. I know how to animate, but I know nothing of ActionScripting. I'm a web designer, not a developer.
(I'm aware I could make the menu in Flash as well, but I personally don't care for having navigation set in a Flash .swf.)
I want to create a custom list in Flex for an interface prototype. The list is supposed to have an image and 3 text fields. This is what I have done so far, the control displayed is what I want. But, when I click on one of the items, the item does not appear (visually) to be selected. I was not sure how I would implement this.
Here is my code so far:
<s:List width="400" height="220"
dataProvider="{arrColl}"
alternatingItemColors="[#EEEEEE, white]">

View 2 RepliesIn Flash Builder, for objects, properties, variables and such where your cursor is on it, the editor highlights all instances of that name in the code with a grey box. This can be very distracting and I was wondering if there was a way to turn it off or if there is a hot key to disable it.Another things that is very distracting are the mouse hover popups, although apparently there's no way to disable those :

I know that my sample doesnt work,
I have taken a bottle of Excedrin due to the headache I've developed from this problem I am having. I have some variables:

I'm trying to express this syntax:
Code:
container0.picture._alpha = 0;
by looping through a variable named "p", like this:
Code:
["container"+p]picture._alpha = 0;
But I get no result (and no error message).
how one would get "<" and ">" to work if you use external say... .txt file for a textfield...
So say I put in my textfile
textfield= The cookies were great ---> and so was the milk<br><br>Yes I love cookies.
The <br> is html, but the ---> is not, yet it won't show...
Same goes for other characters, such as "&", ", '
I have to take a number and figure out which "tier" it falls into.For example, let's say I have a table that has three tiers "economy" "typical" "deluxe". From 0-12 is economy, 13-20 is typical, 21-30 is deluxe. My actual table has many more levels, but this is the concept.
What's the fastest and easiest way to do that? I was going to use a switch statement starting with the highest, but it doesn't look like that can be done
This is a snippet of my code which is giving me
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbracket.
What I'm trying to do is create a an array from the amount of "players" and then for each player in the array, add another array into each level of the array that has 3 levels which are all set to '0'. When I remove: var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0]; the error stops.
ActionScript Code:
public var players;
public var playerScoreArray:Array;
public function gameSetup() {
var playerScoreArray = new Array(players);
for (var i = 0; i < players; i++) {
var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0];
playerScoreArray[i] = scoreArray[i];
}}

Is there a drawing board in Flash Professional CS 5.5 installed or an extension? I want to use it to display a text string, and the user would be able to draw above the text. For example I could display a question and the user would be able to circle the right answer. Is it possible?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to edit the .mxp-files that you install with the extension manager? The extension I have in mind is an API with some functions that need to be tweaked.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a Flash tool that needs to send some data in the form of a flash.utils.ByteArray instance to PHP (amfphp service class) and get that data back from the amfphp service as flash.utils.ByteArray instance. Now I can do all of these with the php_amf extension enabled on the local WAMP server. And the tool works fine. But how can I achieve this without the php_amf extension? I'm deploying on a shared hosting server and I don't have access to the php.ini and also the dl() function of PHP is disabled for security reason. With the extension disabled, I can send the ByteArray instance to PHP and save the data to DB. But the problem arises when I try to retrieve the data from DB, create a ByteArray instance (amfphp helper class) with the data and send back to Flash. I'm guessing here that proper AMF message is not being constructed because of the absence of the php_amf extension.

View 5 RepliesWe used Flex to build the web app below. It lets the user build an interactive activity and click "Publish as Flash" to save a SWF file on their local computer.http:[url].........
Problem: When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash".User specifies the filename.File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's [url]...........)
Possible Duplicate: losing extension when use FileReference download I'm having an issue that looks common when using the FileReference class in FP10 when saving a file. The whole thing works fine as long as I don't change the default filename. If I do, then I loose the extension of the file... which is annoying >_< I haven't found any "acceptable" workaround, but the posts I've seen are from a couple of months already. So I'm inquiring hoping that something's been done regarding this issue since then =)
View 1 Repliesi've got a pic gallery from kirupa which i modified a bit.I've added a download button with filereference. The thing is everthing works when the download button is pressed.But if somebody wants to download a picture and wants to change the name the file isn't recognised because the extension is lost.Flash doesnt read after the dot (example .jpg). If you dont change the name of the file which you save it keeps its extension.

I'm wondering what the process would be for importing the filenames of songs minus the .mp3 extension into Flash would be? I want to import the filenames, and then create a for loop that goes through and adds some html tags to each name, and eventually I'll spit out a text file of it all for me to copy and import into a search function on a webpage. I think I can work through the latter, but I was wondering how to originally import the filenames into a swf?
View 5 RepliesI'm using FlowPlayer to replace an existing FLV player on my site that plays videos from Amazon E3. I have many pages and each should show a different video. For each page, I have a value stored in my CMS that is the "streamName". The stream name corresponds to a flashvars paramenter in the object/embed tags that show the video player:&streamName=my-great-video
On my new player, I'm able to get the video using a URL similar to [URL] How Does Flash (or Amazon???) know to add in the .swf extension? There are several video formats used on the site, and the current player works with them all... But, as I mentioned above, on each page the value store for the video (ex="my-great-video") includes no extension.
