Professional :: Create A Customizable Interface For A Custom Sign Service?
Feb 5, 2010
am building a site in DW CS4. The site is for a custom nameplate service; once they choose a design and colorway, I'd like to allow customers to preview their name on the sign with, say, 6 different font options to choose from. I've never done any kind of interactive Flash--other than simple mouse actions, so I am at a total loss as to where to get started. Has anybody seen a template that might work?
I am looking for a tutorial that will show me how to create an online 'design & print' service. ie the app has say 3 text areas / 3 image areas / drawings areas and a seperate controls to rotate the text and images etc. I then need to export the data as a vector for digital printing.
I have a Flash Professional CS5 projeect (AS3) for building a countdown timer.
I have two numeric stepper components (one for minutes another for seconds) that will establish the countdown time and a dynamic textbox that will display the countdown time. Countdown time will begin when the end user presses a the start button. The timer will reset when the reste button is pressed.
So farI have this (but it is giving me a NaN error:
var segundos:Number = 0;var minutos:Number = 0;var totalsecs:Number; var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,totalsecs); start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
I found at this Adobe tutorial a nice "RemoteService" class that creates a RemoteObject and contains the functions for handling the result and fault events. If I wanted to use this approach, how could I pass the data from the result handler to interfaces that modules from the main application could use?
I could put the RemoteService/RemoteObject in the modules, but (in my opinion- and I could be wrong) the best design seems to be using the remote calls in the main app and passing the data along to the modules.
I wrote a class that converts possible color formats (that I can think of) into valid hex colors appended to a pound sign (#). So what it basically does is check and convert a color in any of the following formats
into String("#nnnnnn") regardless of empty spaces.Color names are the current standard 147 CSS color names, as listed in here.This class can be used by its single static method to 'normalize' colors in an html if an appropriate replace pattern is used. The method works for a single color. This, in fact, might be used while parsing an html data into a text field in flash, for example. Additionally you can input an optional second 'default color' parameter in the method.
First: I want to create a sort of webshop and I want to create a MySQL database in which people can sign up/log in.How can I create this in FlashMX + PHP + MySQL.I want people to log in, sign up and the database should register what people bought the last time(s) they visited.
Now for my second question:For this shop I have a section on the homepage with news.This sections needs to display the news and have a link to the archives.Each newsitem is an images that contains the news.How can I make Flash loads in the news dynamicaly and let Flash detect if there is an archive (archive = more than 3 newsitems in folder) and if there is one, display it?
I'm in the process of creating a component for CS4 which uses a custom UI SWF in the component inspector. I read that the component inspector is being removed in CS5 and you will now access component properties in the properties panel. Will developers still be able to create a custom component UI in CS5?
I would like to create a "component" -- basically a drop-down menu. Except that my drop-down menu will not select an item when a user clicks on it. The user must click on it for 2 seconds and then it will be selected. How can I create this custom widget/component?
I am trying to build a experimental interface (menu, text etc) which is based on a fine grid of points, on which i try to render custom fonts and shapes, by connecting the dots. I would store coordinates for characters (O consists of 4 lines for instance) and render them in an animation line by line, character by character.(this non interactive version is my first step)My question is, what would be the best way to store such a font collection, and execute the above. Any Thoughts? all ideas are welcome
tl;dr:Using MTASC, How can I take a MovieClip that exists on stage and interface with it through a custom class? I'm a UI/UX designer and interface engineer, and I've recently been trying to improve my development workflow. I've been trying to achieve the following workflow:Create the UI in Adobe IllustratorImport the UI into Adobe FlashSet up MovieClips to allow interactivity on the stageExport the finalized design as an .swfWrite code to interface with the various parts of the UIInject the code into the precompiled .swf using MTASCI can do all of the above, but I've been having problems when it comes to writing the code. I'd like to write object-oriented code as much as possible, but I can't seem to link my custom classes to anything that starts on the stage. How can I take a MovieClip that exists on stage and interface with it through a custom class using the MTASC?
I building a website with Ruby on Rails framework.The site will contain a flash application that will interact with the rails application using web service.My partner builds the flash application and he told me that the flash application interacts through WSDL file.
I am new to web services. I would like to know how to create the WSDL file, and how to make the interaction between the rails application and the WSDL file.
How would you, in actionscript 3 make a way to create, log-in, sign-out, etc. of user accounts? I'm mostly looking for an API i can use and if there is, how would I use it?Alternatively, if there is no way to do it in AS3 as that is a longshot, how could I do it in html using dreamweaver?FYI: this is for a website.
I need to call an HTTP service using Flex that has variable arguments. I'm using Flash Builder 4 (Gumbo) to create the service definition, but there's no UI for variable arguments, and the subclass of HTTPServiceWrapper that it creates doesn't seem to support it.
In terms of Flash expertise I am on the the doddering divkid level -- but have mananged to create a custom cursor; a hand that I want to move about over most layers but under one specific layer. Currently, no matter the layer order, when published the cursor image jumps straight to the top.
Is there a property I can imbue in the would-be "top" layer or a way of editing or modifying the custom mouse cursor actionscript that would bring about the desired result?
(I'm using the free Flex SDK and compiling actionscript on the command-line) How can I create interface components around a Bitmap? I'd like to lay out my interface so that the Bitmap is in some sort of container, which interface components above and below it (and maybe to the side) Is it possible for a Bitmap to be the child of some Flex container? I haven't coded Flash since Flash 8. I'm not sure how to go about this at all. I thought maybe the Canvas container might work, but it throws a runtime error
I am looking for a tutorial on creating a sophisticated user interface/menu. Here's a reference: [Code] - I am aware its done in swish but I want to be able to do it in Flash 8. What I've accomplished so far is to create a rollOver and rollOut effects wherein rollOut reverses the movie clip back to its first frame. I was also able to add an 'on release' script where it will play an external movie clip...
This are the AS that I've done so far: 1. I placed this AS on the MC (instance name bam) that has the rollover and rollout effect tween. onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (reverse) { this.prevFrame(); }}
2. I placed this AS on the invisible button I placed on top of the MC on (rollOver) { bam.reverse=false; bam.play(); } on (rollOut) { bam.reverse=true; } on (release) { _root.bampics.gotoAndPlay(2); }
I'd like to know if someone of you guys has any experience in using Flash (and AS 3.0) to create user interface for Crestron system. I'm experiencing few problems with the management of feedback join
This may seem like a noobish question (and it is) but I have created some AS code to help assist in a project of mine in a level design class to create a mock interface for a game. It works fine on the first screen but once you hit any button and go to the next and then try to go back, the code breaks and I am not sure why. Ive tried multiple things to get it to work but nothing seems to help. The code I am using is
ActionScript Code: storybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, start1); function start1(MouseEvent){ gotoAndPlay(2); }
I am experiencing a strange problem when I want to bind a service to a button or something else:
[Code]...
I can add the services to the Data Services panel but I have two strange things:
1) when I want to configure the return type he doesn't let me create a new ValueObject type, I only get the bottom datagrid which states: Properties returned by the operation: Property: country_Id, provence_Id, city_Id, id_cdpc, district_Id with the related values on the right side. Why can't I create a new data type on the top?
2) When I accept this and want to add the service call to a button (drag&drop) I get the following error: Error occurred while generating code. Make sure that there are no compiler eroors and try again after reopening the file. Componentn type services.cdpc.CDPC not found... (ps: When I perform a Test Operation everything seems to be ok, I get the expected output values)
I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners.
I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:
var myCode:String="1<0";if(myCode){ trace('one is smaller than 0'); //Strangely apparently one IS smaller than 0!!! }
I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working... (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)
I've been looking for a good Flash mp3 player to put on my site, but I need to be able to customize to match the page.Does anyone know of a good one that can, for example, have it graphics changed in the .fla?
I would like to have a flash app on a website where:A user can input some values Those values are then sent to a server which has an executable fileThe exe is run with the user's settings and then sends some data back to the userThe data is displayed in the flash app.Is it doable with CGI or is there a better alternative to this?
