View 1 RepliesI'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.

I'm developing an AIR web browser and i want to use a virtual keyboard to write in the HTML pages.it works well when i try to write in a text area, but i don't know how to write in the html page.EXAMPLE:To write in textarea, i just have to call this:textarea.text = event.keyLabel;
View 1 RepliesLets say there are 3 html pages, 1.html, 2.html, 3.html and these pages have 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf embedded in them respectively.Now if I'm viewing 1.html which contains 1.swf which has a button. If I click on this button I want to go to 2.html.Now this can be done using navigateToURL , but is there a way through which I will get the url automatically of 2.html, instead of hard coding the URL in the navigateToURL method.
View 1 RepliesI am making a videoplayer (and yes I have a reason to do it myself), though I'm stuck with getting the values out of the embed object.
This is my html code:
Code:
<div class="videoplayer">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="vidPlayer.swf" id="vidplayer" name="vidplayer" bgcolor="#000" width="100%" height="100%" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptacces="always" flashvars="video=hancock.flv" />
</div>
And some css:
Code:
.videoplayer{width:400px;height:328px;}
What I want is to read the width and height of this embed object in AS3, so the width should be 400 and height 300 as a var in as3.
I know how to do it with the flashvars. however I can't seem to get the width of the loader as following:
Code:
LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).width;
I'm well aware of the Eleos/Microsoft issues that came before IE 8. However this isn't my problem. My company's website is able to display the swf file fine in FF but in IE, as soon as somebody clicks on the swf file, it does its thing without having to double-click (as in the ActiveX issue previously discussed) but also has what looks like a pink border around it. I'm testing in IE and created the Flash component in Flash CS4 using AS 3.0.Like I said before, the SWF object is activated on the first click, and doesn't have to do with the previously mentioned ActiveX control issue.
View 5 RepliesThe Context of the Problem.I'm working on a rotator banner in flash. I use an external xml file to pass the banners info (like info-text, link, image-path, priority, etc). Everything is going well so far. I'm loading the xml something like this:
var bannersXML:XML = new XML();
bannersXML.ignoreWhite = true;
bannersXML.load("myBanners.xml");
The Problem itself.Now I need to construct this xml on-the-fly in php and somehow pass it to my flash object. So instead of read the external file I want my flash script receive an xml parameter it can work with.
I have made a html file in which a swf is embedded with swf object. this swf contain dynamically loaded audio files. It works fine in offline but when it is uploaded it does not show the movie(swf is not playing) I see only empty space. i thought that it may take time to load, but even after waiting for long time the swf did not play and it shows blank white space.

The only way I know how to create a video object for playing progressive FLV is by going to the libraby panel and clicking the context menu, then new Video, and dragging the video object to stage. But I would like to know if there is way to create a Video object with actionscript at runtime.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get a link to an XML file passed from the Object Embed code into my Flash movie. (Not using SWFobject). I have 1 swf file that should be able to connect to 3 different XML files.
Below is the HTML code (I'm trying to get theXML path):
<div class="left">
<h2>300 x 353 Green Accent Color</h2>
<script type="text/javascript">

Right now it's not loading the XML file from the param.
i only know AS2, and was not doing actionscript for a while. i can't pass the variable to the object, please check what's wrong with my script. i want to put a variable after the obj. so when it randomize, it pass the random number after the obj.
obj1._visible = false;
obj2._visible = false;

View 1 RepliesI have embedded a Font in my flex app. That works on any components without problems.
@font-face {
src:url("../assets/fonts/wedtxtn.ttf");
fontFamily: "CSSFont";
cff: true;
}
However, when I try to apply the font to my TextFlow object, it is not working. However, it does work when I use the FTE and do it my self. I debugged through the TLF and the looks like the correct FontDescription is created.
Here is the code I use to create text (Full Source @ Pastbin)
var element:SpriteVisualElement = new SpriteVisualElement;
element.verticalCenter = 0;
element.horizontalCenter = 0;
// Create Text using TLF
var span:SpanElement = new SpanElement();

View 1 RepliesI want to know if anyone has successfully printed something from Flex.
By successful I am talking about some sort of report or document or whatever.
I know its fairly simple to print a component(which is a bit cheap) from Flex by using the printJob() class and passing a component. But I want to pass an object like a list or XML to printJob().
I have the Class and the parameters of its contructor as an object. What I need to do is a function that returns an instance of this class, passing this parameters to the constructor.
This is the code:
Some random and unmodifiable class:
public Foo {
public function Foo(a:int, b:String) {
// constructor
}
}
And some function (in some another class):
function bar(params:Object):* {
var baz:Foo = new Foo(params.a, params.b);
return baz;
}
What I need to do is make this function generic, without pass params as parameter to Foo constructor because I can't modify it. Something like:
function bar2(clazz:Class, params:Object):* {
var baz:* = new clazz(/*some magic way to transform params in comma separated parameters*/);
return baz;
}
I need to call a component and pass an object. Now I am using event initialize to pass into the method of component but it seem to execute only once as follows. Is there anyway that I can make it call every time it loads.[code]

View 0 RepliesI have one movie clip that sits partially over top of another movie clip. The underlying movie clip has a ROLL_OVER effect on it. Is it possible for the mouse to somehow activate the ROLL_OVER only when the mouse cursor moves over a portion of the overlying movieclip when it's over top the underlying movie clip? In other words, the ROLL_OVER event should be triggered by the mouse cursor as through the overlying movie clip wasn't even there, when the mouse rolls over that area.

Can you really not pass a variable into an Object property?
On my HTML page, I have <div> with an <iframe>, which references another page, that contains a Flash SWF object. If I set any of these:
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity=0);
on the <div> that wraps the <iframe>, the SWF object sometimes remains in plain sight, while the <div>and <iframe> go out of view as expected.

This should work in the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac and in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 machine, and it should fail (no errors but the hiding behavior doesn't occur) in Safari on a Windows 7 machine.
It might be pertinent to note that one thing I've noticed about the SWF objects that have passed and failed are that the ones that have failed all revolve around video content whereas the ones that have passed don't. Granted I haven't tested more than a half-dozen objects, but that's quite a coincidence. :)
I have to call an ActionScript method via Javascript, but I have a problem accessing the flash object itself. I embed the flash file via the help of swfobject.
Previously, when I use the static publishing approach, I could easily get the flash object by calling these methods:
swfobject.registerObject("flash_object", "9", "expressInstall.swf");
var flash_object = swfobject.getObjectById("flash_object");
For some technical reasons, now I have to use the dynamic publishing approach (using swfobject.embedSWF). But, as mentioned in the documentation, the method getObjectById can only be used if you use static publishing approach.
Now, how can I access the flash object?
I've embedded a flash object in a form, and anchored it to the 4 borders. And when I resize the window, the flash application resizes too... but it tries to keep its proportions, showing unaesthetic black bars instead of change its width/length proportion.
