I've downloaded the latest version of Air (3.1 now), but I can't choose it as my player in CS5.5. Is there something specific I'm supposed to do so I can access it? I assume I can also import the Air 3 libraries into flash builder as well, right?

View 7 RepliesI have a video business and my website has a lot of video examples. I wanted to show some image quality as well as a decent frame size for viewing. The video files were encoded in AME at vbr 775kbps (max of 1100kbps) with a frame size of 720x405. Do you think these bitrate settings are acceptable for internet speeds today?
View 2 RepliesI've just started experimenting with RSS in Flash - so far I am able to pull a feed in, but what I want to try now is to actually separate values from within a feed to go to different movie clips. So let's say my feed looks like this:
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>title goes here</title>
<link> [URL]>
<description>description</description>
[Code] .....
What I'm trying to do is have a few bubbles of boxes etc floating everywhere where you can click one and it shows a different (or random) <item> from the feed (with the relevant item child values inside). I've looked at creating nodes etc but it seems to only create to pulling the first one with that specific name, instead of choosing from the whole array.

View 2 RepliesI just updated to CS5 - I'm working on a custom video player. It works fine embedded in a web page both locally and on the network. It works fine in the debug player. However, when I test it in the authoring player I get a NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error and no video. I have tried setting the Local Playback Security publish settings to both local and network - doesn't find the video either way.
It used to run fine in CS4 in the authoring environment.

I'm starting flash and already familiar with some of the basics (movie clips, coloring them, adding them on stage, events).And while I read a book to follow, and see tutorials here and there, I kinda follow the "learn as you go" approach.I think the most challenging part here is the scroller to choose colors. I already tried to look for online tutorials but I guess my google terms were simply weak and inaccurate.
View 5 RepliesHTTPService has a property resultFormat which can be set to any of the following: array e4x flashvars object text xml .I looked at the documentation to understand the difference, but still couldn't understand when to use each. I'm looking for the lightest weight of all of them.
P.S. I'm consuming output from my own server, so can change the output format as needed to make it compatible with each.
Imagine we have an object dispatching some event and this object should perform some action on this event. What's the right way of catching this event? May I listen to this event directly in my object or should I let this event travel through EventMap? Example: I have a popup window with form. On submitting form, I'm going to send a request to remote server and close this popup. Is it ideologically correct to perform popup close on click without dispatching custom event to EventMap?

ok in theory this sounds brutally easy. Just can't make it fire. On my stage I have an atm movieclip called "atm". In it I have 8 buttons l1-l4 and r1-r4. I add and remove functions based upon what is on the screen. So on the third screen I want when I hit l1 for a dynamic text box to display "20". So my thought is, place the dynamic textbox where I need it, create the instance name, and where it needs to come up use this line of code:
cashdispense.text == "20";
well the box remains blank. I've posted all my code if it makes things easier to understand.

I have recently been using Charles the debugging app. And noticed a very chatty app named skyrocket (a very very cool slide presentation app) sending a lot of data across the wire. It is built in flex by the looks and I was wondering why they had chosen to send their data using base64 and not amf. Is it because they don't want to be locked into the flash platform? Or could there be another reason. Is it to store it as XML in the database as they don't want to be dealing with amf when handing data to other services/clients (iPhone etc).

The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways.

I need to have a data field that the user will enter in a zip code, hit submit, and have a specific movie clip load, based on their entry. There aren't different movie clips for every single zip, but there will be 20 or so different clips that would load, based on whether or not that zip falls within a certain group. For instance, if someone enters in a zip for Washington DC, I would need to load a clip that shows that general area ... DC, VA and MD.
View 0 RepliesI want to zoom/move an image.
I found there are many ways to do that:
1. to use an Image control , change the x, y, widith,height . Or to call move method.
2. to use zoom/move effect.
3. to create a custom control, using BitmapData and apply the specific metrix.
how to use these methods and what's the difference.
