When writing action script using code hinting, Flash adds additional code at line 1, such as: import flash.events.MouseEvent;
What is that line for? I've noticed the swf runs fine without it. How important is it that this line exist?
I used flash cs5 trial. I don't see fl.controls or button, datagrid, combobox .v.v in show code hint.

View 12 RepliesI have a trial version of the Adobe Flash CS5 installed on my machine and I am unable to get code hinting to work when I'm working on AS3 files. I've tried doing the reg fix from Lee's blog but still can't get it to work. I've also tried deleting the Flash regkey and the configuration folder but still can't get it to work.

Is there a way to hide various classes from appearing in code hints while using a compiled SWC?We are trying to create a SWC that can hide classes unnecessary/hidden to third party developers. There is only one class they need to reach, however that class reaches out to so many others. We tried namespaces on our classes but that doesnt work. It only works on methods, variables and properties.Not sure if there is some metadata available to hide those classes from auto complete. That would be sweet.

View 9 RepliesSo I just started a new job, and will be moving from coding in Windows (Using FlashDevelop) to a mac. I'm looking for something that does the same sort of code hinting and completion that FlashDevelop does so well. Eclipse was brought up, but I can't find much documentation on it with AS3, only AS2. Plus, I'd like to compile in the Flash IDE, rather than a command-line flex builder or some such thing..
Edit: and they already have Mac licenses for the adobe suite, so I can't just run VMWare or something.
I that when you place a MovieClip (or any other object) on the stage, you can give it a name and reference it with code. The main problem is that it doesn't have code hinting. I used to be able to do this:// MovieClip myClip;And code hinting would work. But I'm now using Flash CS5/AS 3 and that doesn't seem to be working.

I have a custom class and inside its constructor, I need "x" and "y" arguments passed on. Now when I call the class and create and instance of it, flash should pop up "the code hinting"...(but it doesn't), or am I missing something???
I'm trying to get the sum of two number values in an XML file, so I'm doing this:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= _root.gallery_height+_root.spacing;
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 20020
The answer is supposed to be 220, but it comes out at as 20020 because the interpreter treats then as strings.
I can fix the problem by casting the type using the Number() method this way:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= Number(_root.gallery_height)+Number(_root.spacing);
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 220
This works fine, but is it *the right* way of doing it? Why is Flash treating my numbers as strings?
I need to add delays between the following lines of code.
speed=speed*.98;
//Delay here
speed=speed*.50;

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to unload, or remove a code in an action layer after it has been loaded and run in a timeline.
What I'm trying to accomplish is twofold, one, I'm trying to reload a code on a particular frame like it is on frame one, without playing the entire swf from frame one, and two I would like to possibly be able to change a mouse event on the same button from one thing to another along a timeline, which would require the initial function be removed so it does not conflict/error with the other event.
I have the following code in the first frame of the only layer of the timeline, and nothing else in the layer:[code]
View 7 RepliesI'm starting using the CS4 version of flash, and in my codes, every word is "missing" the last letter. It's not really missing, we just can't see it, or see only half of it. Did it ever happen to you? If so, how can I fix this?
View 4 RepliesI found this code for embedding fonts 100% with code - bypassing the CS4 library, but I'm not understanding how I call it.If, for example, I put it in an external as file called globals, do I call the function lie this: globals.Test()?It's the "extends MovieClip" part that's confusing me.[code]
View 1 RepliesJust wondering how to embed fonts using code, and not the library - the examples I have used are giving me errors, so I'm obviously not understanding something.I originally set up a library font, and got it to work fine using the following code, but ideally I'd like to embed using just code.I set up and populate a dynamic text field (JX)g1.textParamFunc(JX);[code]So how would I use the following code to replace the library font?Is there a way to take part of the code, and place it in the g1 package above? Or do I have to create a separate external as for it, and somehow call it into the g1 as?[code]

View 6 RepliesI have a complex window I'm designing in code. It starts as a button-like thing and once clicked, expands out to a window with text, links, and other misc. stuff. I'm designing it with all the objects to start inside the custom object (extending a MovieClip) and use tweening to expand it all out. The expansion works fine, although it's admittedly ugly..I'm running into an issue when alphaing from nothing (the button is placed over text, completely alpha'ed out to start) to 1.0. It will only start to alpha in if I have the alpha start at greater than 0, even then, when it reaches 1.0, it is NOT full alpha as it should be. Here's what I'm doing, trying to keep what I suspect to be unrelated code out:[code]the alpha of the bg (a shape) is originally set to 0, this code gives me no alpha, if I start it at 0.1, then it gives me some ...what looks like 0.3 at the most

View 5 RepliesI'm making a map with Adobe Flash Professional CS5, using Actionscript 1 & 2, and I'm trying to add the ability to drag and pan while zoomed in. For the zooming, I put a button in either corner: a zoom out icon, and a zoom in icon. For the zoom-in icon, I used the code on (rollOver){ setProperty ("BG", _xscale, "200"); setProperty ("BG", _yscale, "200");} (BG being the name of the instance used for the background of the map, which is a movie clip.) Now, this zooms me in well to one corner, but then i want to be able to drag and pan to be able to see more of the map. I've found some good examples, but the code is way over my newbie head, and I can't get any examples of code I find to work, no matter what I've tried.

If I were a more advanced user, this probably wouldn't be a problem, but all of the documentation and tutorials I've found start by using the code snippets window with all of the codes already there.
