After switching to AS3, I've been having a hell of a time figuring out the best way to manage MovieClips that have UI elements spread across multiple frames with a single class. An example that I am working on now is a simple email form. I have a MovieClip with two frames:
the 1st frame has the form elements (text inputs, submit button) the 2nd frame has a "you" message and a button to go back to the first frame (to send another email) In the library I have linked the MovieClip to a custom class (Emailer). My immediate problem is how do I assign a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the button on the 2nd frame? I should note at this point that I am trying to avoid putting code on the timeline (except for stop() calls). This is how I am 'solving' the problem now:
Emailer registers an event listener for a frame change ( addEventListener("frame 2", onFrameChange) )On the 2nd frame of the MovieClip I am calling dispatchEvent(new Event("frame 2")); (I would prefer to not have this code on the frame, but I don't know what else to do)
My two complaints with this method are that, first I have calls to addEventListener spread out across different class methods (I would rather have all UI event listeners registered in one method), and second that I have to dispatch those custom "onFrameChange" events. The second complaint grows exponentially for MovieClips that have more than just 2 frames.
My so called solution feels makes me feel dirty and makes my brain hurt. I am looking for any advice on what to do differently. Perhaps there's a design pattern I should be looking at? Should I swallow my pride and write timeline code even though the rest of my application is written in class files (and I abhor the Flash IDE code editor)?
I absolutely LOVE the event system, and have no problem coding applications with it, but I feel like I'm stuck thinking in terms of AS2 when working with mutl-frame movieclips and code.

I got the multitouch touchpoint works, but can't manage to make the multi gesture works
ActionScript Code:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;
bigleft.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeleft)
bigright.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swiperight)
upon swiping at the same time, it does nothing but when it's one after another it works.
anyone know workaround for this?

I am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.

I need a good multi language flash chart for my company's portal, can you recommend one? Already have tried fusion-charts, amCharts, and also OpenChart - But they are not supporting right-to-left, and the API is not simple (they require a complex XML).
Requirements:
good looking
easy to implement (simple api)
customizable
well documented
not expensive

I'm new here and I'm new to AS(3). I'm trying to make a multi-language website with XML. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
[Code]...
It works, as long as I put it on the timeline. The only problem then is that I can't change the language when I'm on frame 2. Someone advised me to put it in an extern AS file, but when I do that I get the following error:5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: xmlData, xmlLoader I don't really know what that means, I hope somebody can help me out.
Also I'd like to know if this is the best way to make a multi-language website in Flash?

What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.

How can I create a flash video using Java.. (Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other, in my world Java Script is a useless technology). Does Flash Professional have a Java API and if so how do I get the JavaDocs and an example to see the complexity of that API. Does the Adobe Media Encoder have a Java API that I can use.. if so, JavaDocs and an example?
Picture having two million directories, each directory has 30 photos and a sound clip. From this I want to produce two million flash movies each movie has 30 photos and the sound clip. Each movie has panning of the photos (Ken Burns, Civil War on PBS). What does Adobe have that I can call from within my Java code or Perl perhaps. I need to do this every two weeks, at least. Using a standard user interface is not going to work, even if I hired half of the planet.. I have been on the phone with Adobe for two days and have gotten nowhere.. surly Adobe has something which allows me to automate the creation of Flash movies. right?

I don't recognize the language. I have no idea what I am working with. I have CS3 so I have Flash CS3. I have FTPed what I have and the URL I feel like I am out of my element.

I just realized I was working on 4:3 when I need to make a 16:9 movie. So I resized the stage, but now everything is on the left side.
I tried turning on "edit multiple frames" and marked the entire stage, layers and frames and moved everything to the centre. Almost everything moved, excepted for material that is on motion tween key frames.

I'm working on an AS3 project that must load a lot of external files; images, sound clips, movie clips etc. The program first loads an XML file that contains the file names of all assets needed by each class. From that point on I'm not sure what would be the best way to distribute those assets.I thought about making a dedicated assets class that will load everything the XML object describes, and then pass it to each class' constructor so they can access the objects they need. This seems like the "tidiest" option, but is there a best practice way for managing loaded assets?

PURE MVC - In my application there are multiple screens which are minimized like in windows desktop. Now each has different instances of mediator which have same notification. So if I do changes in one screen say press some button >> which sends some command >> to proxy >>then proxy sends notifications to mediator. But as multiple screens are active there it is showing changes in all screens as they are notified too by proxies. How to make sure that proxy calls to particular view component (mediator) and not for all live instances of mediators ?

I wrot a FLA in AS3 which is basicaly a nicly designed Loader which loads little cute SWF games. Each game is built a bit differently and has its own 'thing'.I was wondering, how can I control the sound of the SWF's from the Loader File?
Which leads me to a wider issue of how can I control variables of a loaded SWF.
