is System.gc() recognized in AIR 3 for iOS ? Or am I putting on a line a code that's just for pasterity ? I have made every effort to dispose(),null and removeEventListener any unused Object, hence to be able to tell the Garbbage Collector to "go ahead" is a really awesome feature.

Currently when we are putting a movie into a web site design we are using flv files. Recently I was told that flv files are not recognized on mobile devices such as phones and ipad's. If that is the case how should we be handling our movie files?
View 1 RepliesI got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.

View 5 RepliesOccasionally I listen to online audio from a variety of sources with no problem. ccasionally when I try to do that I get a message (or a button) to download Flash 8.0.0. I have done that several times. Once the app is installed (as far as I know it is), I may then click on that audio file and up comes that same message/button again to d/l Flash 8.0.0. If I try to find Flash on my system, it is somehow not clear to me what I've found.
Let me try right now and see what comes up (I'll summarize): Using Spotlight my "Top Hit" says "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager." When I open that it gives me choices of Quit or Uninstall, but no version number. And if Flash 8 or later is indeed installed, how do I know where it is? (It may indeed be a plug-in somewhere but?) I also have here and there about 6 or 7 Flash-labeled folders. One for example in Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS4/Samples. One more in my Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder (though I use no Macromedia apps). Now let me check my plug-ins for (latest) Safari: There's a Shockwave Flash. There is this: "Verified Download Plugin from file VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin, but no further info. I also have Click to Flash 1.5.5.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle.

In Flash CS4, I've got a project that's working with a lot of XML. Previously, it's all been working fine, but recently I'm getting warnings like this when trying to compile:
Warning: 3594: toXMLString is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
Warning: 3594: appendChild is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
The lines of code that these errors refer to are:
stream.writeUTFBytes(currentXML.toXMLString());
and
currentXML.appendChild(marker.getXML());
"stream" is a FileStream object and "currentXML" is an XML object. "marker" is an instance of my own class, which I have imported, but I'm pretty sure that's not related.As I've said it's only happening now. I don't see anything in my code that could have changed it. Even if I turn the changes into comments, I still get errors.In addition to these two I am also getting other warnings, although all of them concern a method "not being recognized" in the XML class.I am using Flash Pro CS4 and am coding on the first frame of the timeline, as opposed to in a Document Class. Oh, and I'm making an AIR app, not a Flash Player one.

I'm using Flash CS4, and using ANY method for capturing keypresses, only some keypresses are recognized. Backspace, Enter, and all of the letters on the keyboard do not trigger anything for me. Even using code as simple as...
on(keyPress "<Enter>"){
trace("pressed enter");
}
...doesn't work at all, while code like....
on(keyPress "<Space>"){
trace("pressed space");
}
...works perfectly. And no, caps lock isn't on.

I'm trying to have action script recognize a text field without me having to give it an instance name. All is fine at first because i wrote custom errors to show if Flash doesnt find a text field on the stage, and no errors come up. I know that my errors work because when I remove the text field from the stage all the errors appear. The problem arises when I try to manipulate the text field through AS that I right on the main timeline. When I do then I get that old 1119 undefined property error.
Here's my code.
package com.nate.ui {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class TextArea extends Sprite {
[Code] .....
And here is just my trace (on the timeline) that throws up the 1119 error.
trace(ta.textField);
I wanted to use Cs4 to edit a flash template but noticed it kept saying I did not have tahoma font installed. I checked the font folder and I did have the font installed on the system but nevertheless I reinstalled it which did not fix the problem so I manually mapped/substituted it to the Tahoma I had on my system but noticed the fonts still appeared off when I published. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it still occurs.

I'm writing an application which uses cookie-based sessions for authentication. All was well until I tried to integrate the uploadify jQuery plugin into my site. I need uploadify to send the files to my upload.php file. When I check the existence of any preknown session variables in that upload.php script, I get nothing.

I'm trying to make a game like Mario. I've made a character which can jump right now, but I've got some problems with collision detection.
I would like my character to jump on a bar, which is placed higher. My collision detection doesn't work at all I gues..I've made a cirle which has a instance name mcMain and I've made a MovieClip of it. T also made a rectangle which has a instance name balkje, I also made aMovieClip of it.
I hope you can tell me what is wrong about my code and what I've to change to make the collision detection work!

I have 2 movieclips on stage; one called 'myMarker_mc', the other called 'myMarker_mcOne') - they both contain 4 children (bt_up, bt_dn, bt_remove ) and myText (a textfield) and they only work properly when it is the 'myMarker_mc' that is being called (called from the xml at the top of the file).
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code]...
When myMarker_mcOne is called the dynamic textfield, called 'myText' produces a blank and the output box pops up with...
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

What characters are recognized within arrays?
I currently have the number 1-9 and A defined as various objects inside my level, but when I try to define a new object within the array as 'B' it simply refers to the object from A.
Has anyone come across this?
I've created a button with a rollover state and everything. Popped it on the stage and gave it an instance name of "myBtn_btn".
on root i wrote this:
myBtn_btn.onRelease = function(){
trace("hello world");
}
but nothing happens. I have many other buttons. all do different things and work find. everything has a different instance name. no linkage is the same. I've double checked and triple checked that the name is "myBtn_btn" in the function AND the button. I've even tried recreating a different button with different names and still nothing. It's like I can't make any more button actions.
I have this code working on a button.

Works great, but there's obviously no path recognized when loading this swf with the button on it, to an empty movie clip on another swf. (ie: _root.container.bio ...)
