I need a compiled and ready-to-use Flash lib, which is able to draw in browser basic primitives (contours, points and labels, not just a charts), described in XML given to the script. It is desirable that the library had at least basic functionality for styling displayed objects: gradients, borders, basic animation, HTML markup. GPL and other free licenses are preferred.

View 3 RepliesI'm new to flash and interested in multi-platform graphical game development. I've installed the Flash Builder Burrito test version and want to develop a full screen Android graphical game with Android-Flex components (like buttons etc.).
a) Is it possible to have a full graphical screen and then overlay Android-Flex components (buttons etc.) or ist only possible to integrate a graphical screen within a Flex components app so that Android/Flex components have to been outside the screen and so no full graphical screen overlayed with Android/Flex components is possible?
b) If full graphical screen + Android/Flex components is possible: which project type have I to choose: File->New->Flex Project or File->New->ActionScript Mobile Project?
c) Are the components I can choose to design my Flash-Android project Android-like Flex components or are they real Android components?
I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >

I am created a dynamically adding a VBox, that contains two images. Into a Custom Component that is derived from UIComponent. The problem is the Vbox that contains the two image is only a really tiny size. I would like the VBox stretch to the size of the two images. This is how I am creating the Vbox....

Types like Movieclip , String, Object act as references when declared and defined, while types like int, Number are primitives. Why such difference has been made. Why not all of them can be primitives ?
View 1 RepliesI have created a few flex primitives on screen via action script. Now based on business logic, I need to make changes to some of these primitives such as: changing thickness, direction of arrowhead etcOne thought was to assign id's to these primitives as they are built- how do I do that?e.g. I get a line built as below
var myShape:Shape=new Shape();
myShape.graphics.lineStyle(thickness,color);
myShape.graphics.moveTo(XFrom,YFrom);

Once you populate a Scene3D with primitives (say in a for loop), how do you clear all the primitives from the Scene3D?
View 3 RepliesAs primitives are copied as 'value' not by Reference, this doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
var myPrimitive1:int = 10;
var myPrimitive2:int = myPrimitive1;
myPrimitive2 = 20; // i want this to affect myPrimitive1 too
My goal is to pick a random property on a data Object() and alter that. My approach was to put all the Objects properties into an array, and then randomise that array, and pick the first element. The only problem is of course that, that element is no longer a Reference to the original, so If I change that it wont alter the original...
ActionScript Code:
// Create Data Object
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject.primitiveVar1 = "string1";

I was in an AS3 course last year and the instructor mentioned that the Oval Options of an Oval Primitive -- start angle, end angle, inner radius -- could be animated in AS3.Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, what are the Classes involved? I've been through everything I know and I can't find a reference to it.

I have a bounded object, created using primitives lines in Action Script- either an oval or a triangle. Is there any way I can fill the contents in a specific color
Just to clarify on this- the shape could be in two ways
a) drawing a isoceles triangle based on a variable apex angle
b) two curved lines to form a "lens"
I am not sure if I can use the fill function, as I am not drawing a inherently bounded shape- the closed nature is based on my calculations

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.

View 1 Repliesdo you know about some free flash web application which can load images directly from folder and animate them (as a video player)? I mean, I have a folder with set of images and I want to animate them (switch one by one) in e.g. alphabetic order. Set of images will be randomly cumulate in time therefore I want to automatize this process and that's also why I can't use common video player which works with loading of video file.

View 6 RepliesI 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?

do I have to pre-render scores in a game? I ask because I'd like to scale and fade in and out each score. Pre-rendering makes sense if you have to do it once only, right?
Does it take too much resources when pre-rendering each dynamically created scores individually? What are alternatives when performance of a game is important?
