Quicker Way To Arrange Several Bitmaps
Dec 16, 2010
I want to know if there is a faster way to take several bitmaps and arrange them one after another in a single layer in a movie clip.
This is how I am doing it currently.
Stage 1: Import the bitmaps to the stage
Stage 2: Distribute the bitmaps to layers
Stage 3: Make the first bitmap a movie clip symbol and cut the other bitmaps' frames
Stage 4: Go into the symbol, create a new layer, and paste the frames.
Stage 5: Click and drag the other frames into one layer, one after the other.
I now have a single movie clip with all my bitmaps ordered one after the other in the timeline.

I want to call a function which does something a number of times. The complication is that i want to call it increasingly quickly, ie call it once after 1s, then again after 0.8s, then after 0.5s, then after 0.2s (the actual numbers aren't important I have an equation to work them out).

I'm trying to figure out the best way to compare a single bitmap against perhaps an array of saved bitmaps to see how close of a match it may be to any one of the bitmaps stored in the array. Right now I'm running a for loop that uses the bitmapData.compare() method to try to compare to see how much of a variance there is but... to be honest I'm at a loss as to how to use the resulting data to do so. Does anyone know of any good method to accomplish what I am trying to do? Forget looking at my code it's a waste of time because simply, it's not working.

We've got an app written in Flex that displays data from our app. The .swf file is only 427kb, but it takes a full five seconds to load in Firefox. This is a headache for our users because they need to access the page that contains the app frequently. (The app displays documents, and it's really slow to march through a list of them).
I've confirmed that it's not a slow web server problem. The .swf appears to be cached in the browser. Firebug reports that every time the web page accesses the .swf, the app server returns a "304 Not Modified" response, meaning that the load time from the server is almost zero.
Is there anything we can do to debug this issue? Or is the Flash player just slow?

I am using SWF Quicker to edit a flash swf file, but whenever I export it, all the sound is gone. Even if I export it without making any modifications, all the sound disappears. I have tried using different versions of ActionScript (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) and different Flash Player formats, but every time there is no sound

Are their any tricks or things I can do with actionscript to make images load quicker? I have a full browser xml image gallery and the images are physically big but optimised in Photoshop. I have a preloader to display the loading amount, but is there a way to speed up the loading?Flash image galleries I've seen have images of similar size to mine but seem to load quicker. Is there a way to partly preload the images before they are used. I don't want to preload all the images cos that would take ages.

You got an eventlistener for an object that can dispatches events in intervals of 0.2ms.And if the eventhandler would need 0.5ms for his operation, what would happen? (listener and handler are in the same class).Would the last event overwrite the event before? In my case, I get some data from a xmlSocket, and I thought, that some datastrings can come in quicker than to work it off in my handler.

I've created a small game with Box2d for AS3 - I have sprites attached to the stage that take their position from the underlying Box2d world. These sprites are mostly PNGs.When the game runs with DrawDebugData() bening called every update, it runs nice and smoothly. However when I comment this out, it runs choppily. In both cases all my sprites are being rendered. So it seems that it's running faster when it's drawing the debug data additionaly (i.e. my sprites are on the screen in both cases!)What's going on? Does drawing the debug data flick some sort of 'render quick' switch? If so, what's the switch!? I can't see it in the Box2D code.
function Update(e){
m_world.Step(m_timeStep, m_velocityIterations, m_positionIterations);
// draw debug?[code]...
Interestingly, If i set the debug draw scale to something different to my world scale, it slows down to 19fps. So there's something happening when it draws the boxes under my sprites causing it to run quicker..

I am connecting FMS over RTMP from a firewalled network where RTMP is blocked.Connecting to my FMS server from there takes (a too long) one minute before the Flash client switches from RTMP to encapsulated RTMP into HTTP.Is there any way to by pass this delay or is it a plug-in inner behavior that cannot be short-cut ?

I needed to translate a SWF file, and used Sothink SWF Quicker to decompile the swf file.Now I want to re-compile it, with the changes made. How can I do that?When I try to "Publish" or "Export" the file with the same program, the new file is only with about 250 bytes, and the previous one had about 450 KB.

I would like to know if flash can allow the user to arrange elements (in a published swf) on the stage and "lock" their positions so that if the swf is reopened or reset, it will retain the new arrangement. How would you describe this feature?

Does anyone know how I'd go about moving MCs (that are dynamically added to the stage via code) through the Z axis?
I am using a fair few visual layers and some MCs when moved around are behind others. I wanted to re-arrange the layer priorities of them, if that makes sense?

I use addChild method to add a mc. But once I did it, I found it is the top of other items on the stage. What can I do to arrange the movieclip to the bottom.
And also if some of the movieclip I import by script and some are imported by dragging from library, how can I define which is in a upper position?
function loadBody():void {
if (body=="1") {
this.addChild(_mc1);
_mc1.x=200;

I notice in flash the Modify > Arrange option seems to be buggy and work only sometimes. I have a few shapes on the same layer and wanted to arrange them on top of each other in different order and it doesn't work... The shapes were created with shape tool and pen too as drawing objects.
I would have to go the extreme, either I would have recreate the shape to be recognized by the program or cut and paste into a new layer and transfer back down to the single layered that was needed. illustrator has the exact same option with no problems.

Im creating a menu of 10 items and I want to arrange their x and y positions without writing too many lines of code... so this is what i got so far.
Code:
//these are my menu items that are reference by their ids
menuItems = new Array(menu1, menu2, menu3, menu4, menu5, menu6, menu7, menu8, menu9, menu10);
//this is the function that position the menu items the first time the app launches
private function arrange():void
[code]....
so what i want to do now is lets say i select menu item 2... if that's the case, i want to move the other items down x amount of pixels by its y position...and keep menu item 1 in its default place... i hope this makes sense... is there a short way to do this to avoid repetitive coding?

I have a movie the attaches movie clip linkages to an array with buttons, the idea is to attach the clip to the stage and when you attach another clip ,the one one the stage moves down in the y position 25 px to allow the next movie to go in its space.I cant seem to get the movie to drop down and all the clips stay at the same y coordinate.I have tried using a variable to update the y value also to hard code the y value nothing seems to work below
var warnArray = [""];
mybtn.onRelease = function() {

Is it possible to arrange (z) order of objects in Flash with ActionScript 3?
e.g. I have 3 symbol instances on a given layer, and I want to perform the equivalent of 'Bring to Front', 'Bring Forward', and/or target a certain z position.
