View 3 RepliesI don't seem to find any decent AS3 book for learning Object Oriented Design.
I checked several ones but most assume that you are an intermediate or advanced AS3 developer.One like AS3 Design & Patterns is good but starts simple and get really complicated quickly. Another 2 are Object Oriented AS3 and Advanced AS3 with design patterns is TOO ADVANCED. Now we have OOP books but not for the little guy with limited programming experience like me. What are my alternatives? A friend of mine told me get Head First Java and learn from there it explain Java but especially OOP for beginners. What do you guys think I should do? I feel it is a shame that I need to go to Java to learn OOP because AS3 books are not for beginners.
am working on developing and programming for games, having 2+ years experience. Now I want to learn more about Flash Lite and 3D Graohics Programming. me some of the best sites I can check and especially some offline resources/trainings
View 1 RepliesIn Adobe TV there is a learning series titled "Learn Flash Professional CS4". In that series there are resources, files and such, that are mentioned. Where can I find these files? I searched my install and cannot locate them. Are they available somewhere on the Adobe site for download?

View 10 RepliesI'm using php to pass FlashVars to my movie for a list of courses and dates - this works fine.The data from FlashVars comes in as simple strings.I then want to use two comboboxes to list the courses and the dates those courses are available.I tried this and MANY other versions but to no avail..I've also been playing withComboBox.removeItemAt() and ComboBoxReplaceItemAT() but again to no avail.
CODE:
GET COURSE NAMES DATAcourse_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name1, label:_root.course_name1});course_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name2, label:_root.course_name2});course_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name3, [code].............
I'm working at a company specialising in online training (related to the building & construction industry mainly - but also things such as occuptional health and safety) and we're starting to put courses online. We're currently using Composica and are looking to make the jump to Flash since it looks much nicer and has much more functionality.I've used flash for a while (mainly designing) and have some basic knowledge in Actionscript 3 - the main issue is not knowing how to make Actionscript communicate with HTML (probablyJavascript even) to relay the results of the course / test to the main webpage, saying whether the participant has passed or not, also to block them from going to the next chapter if they haven't completed the current and maybe even save their place if they have to leave halfway through.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to learn flash to learn times tables, so I want to almost but not quite repeat things. I haven't done programming since punch cards so all the "how to get from Actionscript 2 to 3" is less than helpful.I've got a Game Design book but I"m not finding how to simply copy a chunk of frames to repeat (and then change how it ends to take one answer off).
View 2 RepliesWould be of amjor benifit to learn the AS3 structure by way of Flex for the next verison of Flash? What I mean is, will Flash 9's AS be AS3 such as it is in Flex... and if so, would it be wise for me to familiarize myself with Flex's way of coding for that very reason?
View 5 RepliesI am a Java developer. I am good at learning new languages but I can't make head or tail of AS3. It seems like a different mindset that I can't get into or something.Could you provide links a AS3 tutorials that explain everything well, preferable targeted for people who have already programmed?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash video that will incorporate powerpoint-like slides along with video footage. So for instance I will have slide 1 (graphic) - slide 2 (video clip) - slide 3 (text). I have used CS4 before for one of my classes but that was a little while ago, and I feel like I'm starting over again. When I import the first graphic (.png), is there an option to have it resize to fit the stage?

View 4 RepliesI am currently working on a flash website that has several flv videos on it. Since the website layout has a slight tilt, I have had to transform the videos to slightly tilt as well. The problem that I am having is that when I do this the image becomes very pixelated and the edges of the video become jagged. I have somewhat fixed the edges issue by making a mask around it but i really dont know how to make the resolution better, or what causes it to loose resolution when slightly transformed. The size of the videos is the same as encoded. All I do is tilt them upwards on the right side a bit.
View 1 RepliesI'm porting in an .flv to Flash for the first time. I created the .flv from an .MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, and then opened a new Actionscript 3 .fla in Flash Professional CS5, clicked File > Import > Import Video. Then selected 'Load external video with playback component'. Everything seems to have imported fine, but when I publish the SWF and import it via Dreamweaver CS5 and preview the page, the video is there, but the controls are not. There's just a white box where the controls should be. Also, the video is out of sync with the audio, which I believe is a problem with Media Encoder, not Flash.
Here are some links:

I'm currently working on a website design. The idea is a big chromakeyed interactive video in Flash. The size of the video is 1080 (width) x 1500 (height) pixels.I've exported the video in After Effects with the standard settings for flash (File>Export>Adobe Flash Player(SWF)). Now when I import the video in Flash and preview the file, the video plays in a slower speed and it's not playing smooth at all...Is the video too big? Is there a maximum video-size to keep the video running correct in Flash? Is it something else that causes this problem..?
View 5 RepliesWith the Flash Player that comes with CS3 and on my PC XP Pro laptop.I want the player controls to appear at the _bottom_ of the video not on top of the video and not under (behind) the video.
- my video is 640 x 480
- so I modified the "properties" tab at the bottom of the screen to 640x480... (it was 550x400)
- but that just makes everything larger when I click File > Publish
- and then look at the video in Internet Explorer... the Player Controls are still _On Top_ of the video.
I guess I need to learn how to
- Make the stage bigger
- Position the Player controls below the actual video

View 2 Replieswhat i mean is, is there a way in AS3, or in programming in general(php, js etc) to make an event fire/activate "WHEN" something does something, as oppose to an if/else if / else statements ? for example, say i want to make an event fire /activate ONLY when a frame label is hit, and thereafter , do something else etc, essentially making it do things one by one down the line according to WHEN certain objectives are met.is there a "when" type of statement etc that will do this as oppose to if/else if etc???
for example, using the above example, instead of me doing something like this:

View 1 RepliesSo I am trying to get better at putting all my code within one action layer and there is a bit of button code that seems to be confusing me.
Whenever I program a button I use the following code:
PHP Code:
on (press){
} on (release, releaseOutside ) {
}
Now I know programming the on(press) command is done like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onPress = function() {
}
However I am having a hard time with the on (release, releaseOutside ) code. The only way I have been able to do it is like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onRelease = function() {
} btnName.onReleaseOutside= function() {
}
My question is, is there any way to combine the two onRelease commands?
I am new to Flash and AS-3.0. I am using Flash-CS3 as IDE and AS3 for programming/coding.I have created a ScrollPane component using the following sample AS3 code, which is a sample user-defined function written in ActionScript 3.0:
Code:var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
var myClip:MovieClip;
var boxXLoc:int = 0;
var boxYLoc:int = 0;
var boxWidth:int = 140;
