I'm working on a project at the moment where the client uses an off-the-shelf Flash library to display data against a map. It's a SWF that we feed some XML data and it renders it in various ways, such as a map of the UK with each county represented with a different colour depending on the data we feed it.
As it's an off the shelf, we only have the SWF, no means to edit the Flash file.
We need to make the reports universally printable from the browser. The idea was to have a container SWF that used the BitmapData methods on it to effectively do a screengrab of what the map ("child") SWF is showing and render it in the page as the image generated for printing(i.e only showing the image in the print stylesheet).
I have a simple flash based quiz which ends on a screen with the user's name, date and acore. I need to have a button that creates a printable pdf (or populates an existing pdf) file with this info so they can print or save it. Is this possible?
For a company that works with sales agents all over the world I want to create a web form in Flash where the agent can fill out his/her contact information which automatically will be put on a business card background.This business card, with the agents information, should be repeated 10x on the final printable file (filling an A4 or letter sized sheet of paper)
can flash take each frame and export it out as a image ? In my case, I want to create sprite images for a flashdevelop project using blitting. Of course I know there is a solution for this. like copy and paste each shape into a image editor such as photoshop and turn them into png's. But I am just seeing if there is a simpler means of doing so.
I would like to write a python script that takes a bunch of swf files and renders them to individual image files.Each swf file has just one frame (text, pictures etc.) and no animations at all. I have already tried the render command from the swftools toolset (The windows version), but the resolution of the resulting image is too low.So what I need is:Acommand line tool (Windows/Linux) or a python library which renders one frame from a swf to a bitmap or better to something like a PDF (It would be cool if the text data could be retained). It would be great if the target resolution/size could be set manually.
After devising a way to render each frame of an Actionscript generated animation to a .jpg on the hard drive, I was thinking about authoring a detailed explanation of the process.Either on Actionscript.org or other sites, if you know of anything like this I'd like to review it before duplicating info or perhaps doing it the hard way.
I'm attempting to add an image to a datagrid item render dynamically in flex. Here is my DataGrid code The value of "str" in the getImagePath function is correct.
For a current project I need to create 25 versions of 5 different banner sizes. By version, I mean having slightly different content, namely: a different image and different text somewhere in the banner.
Let's, for this question, suppose I'll make sure somehow that said images and texts will all fit fine in the design for that particular size, so that I could create some sort of template per size, with some sort of placeholders for them. What is an efficient method, if any, to automate the rendering of these differing versions per size? Is it possible?
I'm new to Flash authoring, and something seems puzzling. I see that it is possible in Flash to render an animation (project) to AVI or MOV video formats, and it seems to work fine (although you can't choose your AVI codec,
which seems like a trivial feature to put in. Is there a way to render a Flash animation to FLV? I am working on a project that will play FLV video files inside an FLV player object (SWF object). I would like to create FLVs from inside Flash, using the nifty animation tools and whatnot, and have them play in the same manner as the other FLV videos created by other tools (e.g., FinalCut Pro edited video). I realize the FLV is video
Has anyone else had trouble with the Render Text As HTML function in CS4? I want to use two different fonts in the one textfield. Looks fine in Flash but when I export the swf, only the first font is used.
I have a Flash movie embedded as shown below. In Firefox, the movie renders beautifully In IE7, the movie is scaled down, pixelated, and looks bad.There is no HTML aside from what you see here - no CSS or anything.
I create a backGround MovieClip object and assign to it a MovieClip from my library.I use addChild to add it to the display list.This is the background for my movie.At some point later on, I want to change that background.If I simply assign a different MovieClip to backGround, nothing changes when I run the movie.I thought there was some method I could invoke that would re-render the backGround MovieClip, but I can't find anything.
I can simply add it again, but that seems like a waste of memory.I've done a removeChild, updated backGround, then addChild'ed it again, but that seems a little klunky.Isn't there some way to update backGround in place without having to remove it and re-add it?
Is it possible to render a pdf in a browser using PERL? What I have is a flash application that sends the rendered pdf binary to perl. The pdf is generated from AlivePDF.
#!C:Perlinperl.exe ## BEGIN { $ENV{PATH} = ''; delete @ENV{ 'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'}; } use strict;

This is only part of the displayed file, but I hope this helps. I don't want the code to display, I want it to look graphical. If I download this file, and change the extension to .pdf, it works perfectly.
How would you render a BitmapFilter (such as DropShadowFilter) applied to a sprite, to a seperate BitmapData Layer? which would then be placed beneath all objects.For instance if you have two rectangular sprites overlapping each other, with a DropShadowFilter applied to each, the result would be the filter overlaying and obscuring the other rectangular sprite - as shown below.
note: each filter may have different settings and so I cant just apply a uniform filter to a containing sprite. also: ideally this solution will be scalable to handle many animated sprites at the same time.
I'm trying to have an attached movieclip in code render in an avi file. I Googled this before, but its tough to find since its a really specific issue.
For example, if I place a clip on the stage manually, it will of course render when I export it to an avi. But when I have something placed with code it does not. I really want to use the coded movieclips. Is there a remedy for this?
Has anyone else had problems getting the "render text as HTML" button to actually produce that result? I've just got a blank fla with a simple, multiline, dynamic text area with the "render text as HTML" button pushed but simple tags(<b>,<i>,<p>) just show up as characters instead of formatting.
I get this error in Flash player 9 (10 works fine).The image I'm trying to distort is 2203 x 250, so I don't know why it's saying the maximum is 3334 ?
Actionscript Code: Warning: Filter will not render.[code]............
client just asked if it would be possible to do some sort of online edit of some videos, text and graphics and then have flash render the final thing as a video.
I had this line in my file before loading the XML file : XML.ignoreWhitespace = true; Even if this parameter is set, when I take the node and push it in the html textfield, all HTML is parse, I mean bold, italic, etc.., but It keep all tabulation space of my XML file
I have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.
I am using a html parser [URL].. to render several tables into a movieclip.My problem is: as it takes some time to render, the only one actually being added to the movieclip is the last one. I would use a timer, but that means I would need to call a function, and I am using a "for" loop to build the movielips. Is there a way to say "wait for x seconds before continuing processing" in ActionScript3?
i want to render the xml data on my textfield. but it does not support all the html text given by the " upcoming xml from server".so how to do that , because i want to display the same format of text as it showing on the server side using those Html tag.So waht approach i should follow to do this
My Flex chart has code that creates a legend from each data series. Currently, I have the drawLegend function execute when a button is clicked.
I am trying to get the legend to draw automatically but I am having trouble determining when to call the drawLegend function. Users click on an 'Update' button which retrieves data. I want the legend to get created after this, without the users having to click on another button.
I have put my drawLegend function in several places (ResultHandler, afterEffectEnd(for chart animation, etc.) and nothing works.
Sometime after the series has been added to the chart and after the series animation ends, the legend can be added.
How can I trap this point in time and call my function?
Below is the code I used to create the legend. Note that even though the code processes each series, I noticed that the Fill color is null if it is called too early.
private function drawLegend(event:Event):void { clearLegend(); // Use a counter for the series.
I have created a custom ComboCheck which extends the spark DropDownList that is a DropDownList of checkboxes. Inside of my itemRenderer I have the code:
[Bindable]override public function set data (value:Object):void { if (value!=null) { _data = value;
[Code].....
This will also not cause the dropdownlist to reset to scrollPosition 0
I know this question was asked before, but none of the solutions work properly. How do I render a basic html in flex 4 without an iframe? I saw textarea renders some weird format that would suffice if it would work. For example I wan't to add an image like this
[Code]...
then 1. I press enter 2. I add the image again like above, I get the img tag inserted 10 times or so; which is weird (but not funny at all). All things being equal, html is a much normal approach, is there a basic renderer for flex 4 that works ok?
I have a huge code execution with many loops and pre-rendering processes and I was wondering if there is a way to tell the flash player to take a little pause on the code side and do a render.
Basically I have my execusion that takes a while, and on each step I make a call to a screen and then modify the scale of a loading bar. Now the problem is that the user only sees the progress at the end, I know this is due to the fact that flash does code execution and then render, i tried to make calls to stage.invalidate to force a render but it wouldnt work until the whole execusion if finished either. Is there a way to force flash to render between two lines of code?
