I have a banner rotator fla file that has an xml file for producing the content.How do I rename the xml file from"config.xml" to "BannerConfig.xml" and still have it work with the flv file?
View 5 RepliesI have a photo gallery with a navigation button that allows for additional photo categories that I don't want to appear. Unfortunately, I can't open the .fla as it appears to have been created with a newer version of Flash. The code in the config.xml file is basically:
<navigation> <menu 1> <content>
</menu 1>
<menu 2> <content>
</menu 2>
etc.
</navigation>
Is there a tag I can add to make the navigation link disappear?
I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mySwfFile_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I have a flex application which contains different feature that includes google maps, twitter, facebook etc.
Currently I have hardcoded api keys in the code it self but I want to use a properties file/config file where I can put such things and use anywhere I want in the application.
Is it possible to achieve this in flex? I am using swiz framework. Is it possible to achieve this using this framework?
I need to rename an xml file and then change its contents so I use this:ActionScript Code:[code].....
On the event complete,I open the xml i just renamed, open it, change some information and then I have to write it, however flash tells me the file is still being used :S
ActionScript Code:
function renombrarArchivo(e:Event):void{[code]....
Am I doing something wrong? I mean I'm using the onComplete on the moveTo to make sure the copy is done and then I open the file to be able to overwrite it, however flash keeps telling me the file is still open.
I'm working on a flash project and wanted to rename an .as file. When I changed the name, the .swf breaks. Is there anyway I can remap the .as file to the .fla from CS5.5?
just wanted to know where is it preferred to keep your .as files? I've seen examples where people store them in a separate folder (ex. Actionscript/MainTimeline.as) but I've also seen examples where people just keep all the .as in their .fla file.
anyone have a fla file (flash document with swf file) to rename a notepad file (text file) / Create a notepad file (ex : Test.txt) in Drive C or D or place where we save the fla file. I don't care about inside the test.txt.... "abc" or no text...

Is there a way to set the value of a private static const identifier from a config file during compile time in Actionscript 3?Also, it would be nice if I can do this in the mxmlc ANT task.
View 2 RepliesI've got a flash file that reads some links from an xml config file. These links look like:
<url target="_blank" method="GET"><![CDATA[http://www.google.com]]></url>
Instead of a link, I'd like to call a javascript method that opens up a modal dialog with a list of items. I've tried the following based on some things I found, but I can't get it to work.
<url target="_self" method="GET"><![CDATA[javascript:loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></url>
and
<url target="_self" method="GET"><script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></script></url>
loadAsModal() takes in an empty div that i put on the page, and then the menu.jsp which builds the menu given the group id. I made sure to import all of my js libraries on the page.
The flex compiler (mxmlc) allows the use of token substitution in the compiler config xml file, as referenced in the documentation.From the linked documentation it is clear that you can specify your own tokens for substitution on the commandline, but there are also some default/magic tokens available that Adobe has put in place.For example, the snippet below is reduced from an Adobe example on how to fiddle with the framework RSL sourcing:[code]I have highlighted two tokens in use there, namely hosted.rsl.url and build.number. These work "magically" without specifying them on the commandline.
Here is another example that vaguely shows the existence of a ${flexlib} token.Unfortunately, aside from those limited examples I can't find a whisper of documentation on what tokens are available... Is the list of tokens documented somewhere that I can't find? If not, does anyone know what the available tokens are so that this SO question can be the documentation? referenced build.number, I might as well also note that build.number doesn't seem to work quite like Adobe seems to think it does since for me it simply gives me the build number, not the whole string. ie: For flex 4.5.0.20967, ${build.number} just gives me 20967 which is not much help). I had a web link where someone was complaining about the changing implementation of these tokens, but I can't find it anymore.

View 1 RepliesWe can auto-generate flex-confix xml file from flash-builder so to provide users that want to compile project on there own would be capable of doing such thing with out buying FB. So we use something like -dump-config slotConfig.xml as flex compiler argment. This generates a file for us... with lots of detailed comments like this one I generated from that project:

i am trying to create a flash movie for my browser page. i am able to import and export the movie just fine, the problem comes after i export the movie. As long as i leave the flash file in the folder it was created in things work great. If i try to move the folder or rename the folder it stops working. It acts like it cant find the flv file i created the flash with. if i rename or move the folder back where it was created things work fine.
View 2 RepliesI'm working as a freelancer in a flash project. The project includes a list of as2 files which I need to edit and debug. I was going to do that using flash cs3 but every time I try to open an as2 file I get an "Unexpected file format" error message. The files are strictly text and (not binary), but it seems flash cs3 won't open files with a '.as2' extension (e.g.scriptfile1.as2). If I rename the file so it holds the .as extension (e.g. scriptfile1.as) then cs3 opens it fine. Unfortunately I cannot rename these files since I'm not the owner of the project, I merely make some modifications.

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if there's a fancy option to rename ALL movie clips in a library at once.I want to import a full library of movie clips into a different project, but both projects have similarly named movie clips. Is there an option to import them but just add "1" to the end of the name or something? All I want to do is quickly add a letter or number to the end of a huge list of movie clips.

View 2 RepliesI have recently deployed a website created in Flash CS4. Some of the user reviews about content are rolling in and most people agree that I mislabeled a button "References" when it should have been "Referrals".This website only has six pages but the Reference button occurs on almost all of them.Is there a quick and easy way to change the button text without changing anything else about the functionality of the button.

ok so i know the general code to rename all selected library items
var items = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.getSelectedItems();
for (var i=0; i<items.length; i++){
var item = items[i];
item.name = "ABC_"+item.name;
}
but this isn't good enough if the library items are in folders... because item.name returns the full path, but item.name sets the name. o.O as someone else points out here, [URL]
so when i try to rename Level1 to be ABC_Level1 if Level1's folder path is LIBRARY/FolderA/FolderB/Level1 i get this instead ABC_FolderA-FolderB-Level1
i could probably code some sort of string parser something like this,
item.name = "ABC_"+item.name.substr(item.name.lastIndexOf("-"), 99)
but that is really ugly and would not work if library items contained "-" already. "Level-1" for example
different way to access the name that returns just the name and not the path
is there any way to rename a download file/link to our custom name. For example: I use URLLoader to call a download link: http:[url].... then a download popup shows a save as dialog with the name my_file.mp3. Now I want the dialog to show another name that I define like my_song.mp3
