i know how to program in vb.net, and have little problems switching to action script. the only problem im having is that i dont know where to type my code. in visual basic there were events that you would type into. does any one who knows Vb know what im talking about? i get the whole convert to symbol stuff just not where im supposed to type
View 3 RepliesI was just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck trying to get a flash app to talk to either a visual basic or c++ application? I need to build a player [flash embeded into the vb or c++ application] that when the user say, pushes a button, calls a function or action from within the app. Any Idea How would I go about this?

it's been a long time since I opened VB and I just needed to make a real simple program.Someone enters their income, then based on their salary, their taxes are displayed.One input TextBox, one ouput TextBox, and a button to calculate.I'm almost there, I'm just missing something, I have a TextBox for income:
txt_income
I have a TextBox for income + taxes:

I have created a Menu in Flash using MenuBar Component and actoin script. I want to interatc this menu with Visual Basic 6.0, but unable to do this as I am unable to adjust FSCOMMAN in code.
[Code]...
I am trying to create a standard production of visual basic system, on Flash CS5. It's an interactive system made in Flash, but the house style is as of Visual Basic. I have almost completed the project however I am finding it difficult to:-
a) If the user types into textboxes in one stage on flash, it should appear down on another screen on another textbox, simultaneously.
b) How to validate textboxes in flash so that the user can only type in certain characters, for example the user would fill in the textboxes when asked about coding in visual basic. At the end of the screen by clicking next it would check the textboxes and if the characters are incorrect it would display an error message, and if correct proceed to the next screen.
This coding is the closes't i got to solving my problem about validation, I have also read a number of ActionScript books but no luck there. I have also searched the net but could not find what i am looking for, all i got was validating using passwords from parameters.

View 2 RepliesIn my attempt to create a simple Pong-like game, I've encountered a very strange and at times severe visual bug.When I set the ball (A Flash CS 5.5 library MovieClip) in motion moving around the screen at a rather fast speed, I've noticed that sometimes the edges of the ball would be cut-off for a short moment in the direction it is moving.
When it happens, it almost seems like the position of the ball MovieClip is slightly ahead of its own border and thus the part that is outside the border fails to get drawn.
Here's a picture that illustrates how this looks - at least for me:
You can also view the .swf file online here: [URL]
Some technical data:
I've been unsuccessful in capturing the with a screenshot no matter how much I tried. Sometimes I would open the .swf and the bug would be almost non-existent while at other times it was very blatant. I'm using an EnterFrame event function to increment / decrement the x and y position of the MovieClip. I have never encountered any such problem in any Flash app, in this machine or others. Truncating / rounding the x and y values of the MovieClip didn't help. Neither did setting cacheAsBitmap to true.
I need to invoke a dll/exe upon selection of controls in flash like checkboxes,radio buttons etc.. By getting the status of the controls I need to perform the actions in my aplication which is developed in VC++ and accordingly I should give responses to flash.
View 1 RepliesMost of my applications are a combination of VB.NET and Adobe Flash, such that the VB application is displaying a Flash file inside the main form (using Adobe's COM object). The VB application is communicating with the Flash file via the ActionScript ExternalInterface and FSCommands (using XML strings). I'm having a hard time debugging the applications, since when an error occurs withing the Flash file (due to a bug in the ActionScript code) I'm getting a non-informative exception.
What I'd like to do is to debug both codes at once. At the very least I'd like to see the runtime error output as it is shown when I'm working with Adobe Flash. At the best scenario, I'd like to be able to hook my VB.NET code with the Actionscript code such that I can use breakpoints in both.
I'm trying to make a visual novel in flash, I have created the UI and the characters, but I don't know what could be the best approach as how to load the dialog and how to save them. I've been thinking about external files, but I don't know what could be the best type of files to do so. Also, when I load the game I want it to continue in the same scene and with the same variable values (obviously) is there a way where you can save all of them (like an image of the game).

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a visual waveform for an MP3. The code I've included is called on successful load of the MP3. I intend to extract just a few important samples from the sound to create the waveform, rather than extract the entire sound into a bytearray. Even on a good machine, extracting an entire song can cause flash to freeze up for 3-5 seconds (or longer!). For my purposes, this isn't feasible.
Unfortunately, the code I've got below is failing to produce any numbers. If I extract the entire song it functions, but extraction of just the key points is giving me nothing. Does performing an extract make the remainder of the sound object invalid for future extracts? If so, is there some way around this that won't freeze flash for an extended period of time during the extract? Some important variables from the rest of the code:

View 2 RepliesI need to run some code when a panel is destroyed. The code is simple, I have some Background tasks while it is opened, but need to stop them when closed.
I have a Close button for the panel, and I stop the BG Tasks when the user wants to close the panel, the problem is that they have access to a top menu bar too and can jump to another application module/part throught it, so, the user can exit the panel (when exiting, the panel is automatically destroyed) but the panel close event code is not executed because the close button was not pressed.
One solution could be to inherit from panel and add a post step method that is called when swapping modules, etc... So, if the user wants to move to another place through the menu bar, my system will first call sometihng like PreEnd() method on the panel and everything will be solved. But, is there any event that I could catch from the panel when it is destroyed to accomplish this? I have been checking the documentation but couldn't find anything useful to achieve what I explain.

i have an rtmp folder with videos,I am trying to do a seamless change to next video using nestsream play2 method.have tried using the fast switching of NetStreamPlayTransitions. SWITCH like below.[code]The problem is the switching is not happening.offset=-1 is supposed to be fast switching. The idea is to make a seamless transition to the next video.if we dont use any transition method or use opts.transition = NetStreamPlayTransitions.RESET;its the same as not using any. It just switches normally.RTMP is supposed to provide a relatively faster transition, i am looking for a seamless option .
View 1 RepliesLet me preface this post by saying I have been studying actionscript 3 for 2 months now and I am now at a point where I am looking into how experienced developers code their projects and what tools they are using. Repeatedly, I come across a post or a blog entry where a developer says:
[Code]...
Now here comes my confusion/question(s). When a developer says something like that, are they saying that they ONLY use FDT to create their projects? If so then how are they going about doing it without the use of the Flash IDE? Do they just keep creating external .as classes and then link them all together or what?
In my 2 months of studying, I really feel like I have learned a lot, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around this. I want to break away from the Flash IDE (if at all possible) so that I can go deeper to the code.
I would like to have a third party exchange english language text in a swf file with translation-text in other languages. They would like to do it via XML.

View 2 RepliesI'm creating my first Flash website using AS3, and it's really basic. I would like to put in a contact form, which I have made. I've converted the 3 fields (name_field, email_field and message_field) to a symbol (movie) called 'form'. I've also got a send button, which is called send_btn.
I've set up the Action Script so that when the button is clicked, the user is taken to a confirmation-style page. All I want to do is called a php script (I'm comfortable with the code for that) called 'mailer.php' and send the three variables from the form to it before then loading the confirmation page.

What is a good structure for a complete Flash website. ex.
1) Index.swf ( which is just a container and loader for the actual SWF site content)
2) Main.swf (the main content of the site that gets loaded in by Index.swf)
Should the index.swf load in several SWF's , like navigation file , news reel file , etc....Also , if anyone know of a web site that has this information or knows of a book that covers this material ,
Id like to make a graphical editor with flash that has some basic features like copying and moving files, and editing text-files.The editor is to be used exclusively offline.I know that AS doesnt provide such functionality, but perhaps its possible with some backend script that doesnt require any installs (like php does)?Javascript, perhaps? Does it have the power to edit files etc?
