i am not sure on what key i press, but suddenly when i create object (box,line or circle) it become grouped and when i want to edit it, i need to double click. but previously it wasnt like that.
View 6 RepliesThis is my problem:1. I group a drawing or I create an object (movie clip, graphic,button...)2. I double click the object/group on scene to edit.3. I go in to the group.4. I go back to the scene by double clicking somewhere empty.5. And object is gone. It's invisible. I can only bring it back by clicking on something NOT GROUPED on scene, or by clicking the red line on the timeline.Note: This problem seems to be not occuring when I go back to the scene via the blue arrow icon pointing left at the top or by clicking the scene name.
View 1 RepliesI have is Adobe fl CS4. I succussfully created a scene with all correct layers including a start button action script. No errors works great. Now my next challenge is, how do I cause a word to apear? I created some objects that I want to select and cause a word to appear and color to change, once I hover over the object. It is like the same method when you create a 'start button.' Do I create another sub scene in the action script command?
View 32 RepliesObjetcs created inside a function are automatically marked for garbage collection if not referenced anywhere else? Let´s say, I have a class called SubClass. in the constructor I create some displayObjects.Then I instatiate SubClass somewhere. When I remove this SubClass instance, will the objects inside be marked for garbage collection?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
I'm trying to export an AdvancedDataGrid to CSV. This is easy enough for non-hierarchical data, but when using a HierarchicalCollectionView to show treed data it gets trickier.
how to access each of the cells just as they appear on screen when all of the nodes are expanded?
I#m looking for a solution to sort all grouped colums in advancedDatagrid. It should be the same behavior like clicking in a columns head. i'm not looking for a solution to sort the fields IN a the grouping. There is working solution named compareFunction. But I'm not able to sort the two rows in my picture by column "Einnahmen". Sorry for the german word.
View 4 RepliesI have flat data in my app which I will need to group, summarize, and count as I normally would with a sql query. For this project though, it must be done in the flex app. I need to figure out how to group my data by day or month using a datatime field in my Arraycollection, then appropriately count or summarize data in other fields. I've used Groupingcollections before, but only when binding to hierarchical controls (like AdvancedDataGrid and Tree), but I need a resulting ArrayCollection with the grouped and summarized data. Basically, I'm trying to access my AC like a sql table (GROUP BY MONTH(datetime), COUNT, COUNT(DISTINCT(), etc.) and I'm unsure how to do it.

Is there a way to have ungrouped and grouped items mixed in the same datagrid?
For example, think of a grid that lists the root items on a C: drive.
Obviously, we would want the Directory Structure to be group and expandable. But the files on the root drive would also be shown on the list, however they would not be grouped.
It was hard to sum the issue so here's what I mean in the title is something like the following:
ActionScript Code:
var rX:RegExp = /^([0-9]+-[a-z]+){3,5}$/i;
trace(rX.test("1-a")); // false
[code]........
This Script:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var cities:Array = ["muscat", "sohar", "dubai","abu_dhabi"]
[Code]....
...does not work when the buttons "muscat_btn", "sohar_btn", "dubai_btn" and "abu_dhabi_btn" are grouped into a movie clip.
Given up on the other thread, others tell me its gonna be quite a bit of hassle!What I want to do is as follows; I want a vinyl record on the stage to begin slowly rotating, until it hits full speed, on a mouse click. All automatic.I imagine this will involve adding a speed number to a basic rotation script. When it hits a certain speed, I want an event to be triggered.

I am using the reflect class at [URL]. It works fine for the first playthrough. Yet, when the movie loops again, it creates another instance and again on the next loop through. There is only one object on the page and the script is: import com.pixelfumes.reflect.*;var r1:Reflect = new Reflect({mc:box, alpha:50, ratio:50, distance:2, updateTime:0, reflectionDropoff:1});

the code works fine , but actually i want the "Object(parent).showHighScores();" to be load automatically without clicking the button (auto call the function once the page loaded), i tried use Event.Enter_frame but it wont stop running,
if i have following code :
class Stand {
public static const STAND_LIST:Array = new Array();
STAND_LIST[0] = new Array();
STAND_LIST[1] = new Array();
[code]...
is the STAND_LIST[0] keeps created every new instance of Stand created? or is it created just once?if it's created every new instance of Stand created, how do i make it run just once?(like initializing const)
why can't i acces the object outside of the function with test1._alpha = 20;[code]

View 2 RepliesI have an .flv file that I was able to extract from a YouTube video. The video belongs to a friend and she wants it on her site without the YouTube wrapper it now has. I want to put it on her website and have it play automatically when the page opens. I cannot get this to work. I can get a link to show and when I click on it, it prompts me to save it or play in media-player or such. Then it will download and start to play.What I'd like is for the page to just start playing the file when the page opens.
I've seen sites where a .flv file is hosted and when going to the page, the video just plays. I've never worked with these files before. I have worked with Flash some and created .swf files for the web. Never, just a .flv file.
Lately I've found myself constantly writing removeEventListeners everywhere, which makes code quite messy. I know it's a best practice and such, but in general it has no sense. Garbage collector should handle such a simple task by itself, shouldn't it? Is it that hard to remove all listeners automatically when object is set to null?
So I just want to be sure if that's the case. Does setting an object to null, automatically remove all attached event listeners? In my case scenario is like this - I create an object and attach bunch of event listeners to it, then after a while I need to re-initialize this object. Of course setting this object to null is much easier then unbinding every listener by hand. And on most part listeners are anonymous functions, which means that it's not possible without code refactoring. When I simply re-initialize a variable with new I do not get duplicate listeners and such, but I'm not sure that it's previous value, along with all the listeners gets garbage-collected. Is it?
Has anybody messed with PurePDF. I'm trying to set up a SWC library for it and I've gotten stuck on the layering part. If you just put in a background image and a table it automatically creates 2 pages instead of just layering the object. They have a function for layering object but the only tutorial out there is showing how to layer rectangle graphics. Here's my code.
if(layerContent[i] == PdfContentByte)
{
trace('Is PdfContentByte');
XTC_cb.add( layerContent[i] );
}
if works up untill that point but it doesn't recognize a table or an embedded image as a PdfContentByte and that's all it will let you add to the layering list.
I am new to AS3 but not to AS2. I have written a simple class and when I import it, I don't see the object that should be created upon calling the constructor. Can you guys tell me where am I going wrong. And I am very puzzled about 'document class'. Yes, I have google numerous threads on "document class" but still very shaky on this matter. Here is my simple class which should place a button object on the stage when I create a new object of this class. Once I have created the BTN class, I have made sure that I have button component in my library, I then instantiate the object by creating a new CS3 file and importing my class:
import com.learning.as3.*;
var b:BTN = new BTN();
When I test the movie, I get the following errors:
1172: Definition com.learning.as3 could not be found.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
BTN.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method BTN.

From the flash help, it says:Method; removes a movie clip instance created with the duplicateMovieclip action, or the duplicateMovieClip or attachMovie methods of the MovieClip object.
But i have movieClips created from createEmptyMovieClip();, so i'm assuming removeMovieClip(); won't work. Is there another way to remove this then?
