Actionscript 3 :: Create A Library Of Components For Flash
Oct 13, 2010
I am looking to build a set of components for Flash that our developers can use throughout future projects.The components are not covered by the standard set of Flash UI components and I don;t think I need to really extend the UI Interface. Instead I would like to be able to distribute a library of FLA (non-compiled) components so that a developer/designer can simply drag a component out of the Library and then edit it however they wish.Maintaining the ability to edit components is import, and this would be too limited if it meant creating skins or only changing things programatically.

I'm trying to control the behavior of components in my Flash Library using a .as file class, but it doesn't seem to be working.
For example, if I have a Button in my library called exampleBtn and attempt to do this in the .as file:
exampleBtn.visible = false;
... nothing happens. The button is still visible in my application when I run it.
Can anyone explain the workflow to make a Flash library component accessible in a .as class file using Flash CS5?

I am at the start of creating a large site with many different components: Basic text areas Latest projects with images / video Blog with text, images and video Secure login area to view protected projects
What would you recommend for this type of project. Throw all assets (main text area, blog, latest project etc) and separate them into their own mc's, then call them onto the stage? Or have them all external sepearate swf's?

I want to:
1) Place symbols on the stage manually in loaded.fla
2) Exclude these symbols from the swf because they will already be in loading.swf
So I:
1) Created a component.fla
2) Created a "comp" symbol in the fla
3) Turned that symbol into a component via Component Definition
4) Exported the comp.swz into Configuration/Components/MyComps
5) Opened up loaded.fla
6) Pulled the comp component onto the stage
7) Went to file AS settings and added Configuration/Components/MyComps to the External Library Paths
8) Compiled loaded.swf and played it
BUT the swf includes the comp component on the stage...which is NOT what I wanted. I only want the swf to work and have a reference to comp when it it loaded into loading.swf.Why haven't the classes in comp been excluded?Obviously this is a workaround for runtime shared libraries, which is unpredictable, time-wasting and generally painful. Is there a better way to retain WYSIWYG and share symbols? I don't want to do dynamic placing.

using datalist and button from components library. If the datalist is not selected and user pushes button I want it to do nothing, right now if user has not clicked on datalist for selection and clicks the button it takes them to www.domain.com/undefined. I am trying to run it like so with a setFocus so it will highlight datalist if not selected:
Code:
_global.style.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
var arUrl:Array=["/browsecategory.aspx?cat=1","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=2", "/browsecategory.aspx?cat=3"];
var provider:Array=[{label:"Selection 1",data:0}, {label:"Selection 2",data:1}, {label:"Selection 3",data:2}];
choice.mcList.dataProvider=provider;

I am running CS3 but have to upgrade... so I downloaded a trial of Flash 5.5. The only components in the component window are video related. Where are the scroll components?? Do they not come with the software any more? Am I supposed to download those? If so how/where?

I have a swc file, loaded in my components panel and dragged it to my library. It is a file which allows flash as3 to evaluate strings as numbers as such. My problem is when I import the file
import r1.deval.D; I get an error message "the class r1.deval.D must subclass flash.display.MovieClip since it is linked to a library clip of that type".
I've been sitting here for hours following the developers guide and numerous examples of how to do this yet have not found the correct process.

Here in Flash CS4 Explorer, I have shapes. It's intuitive that I be able to right-click on Scene1, and be able to Insert Shape. Can't. I go to the frame. Can't. I right-click everywhere. I see 'Create Shape', but everywhere I see it, it's grayed out - won't let me.
How do I create new shapes in the graphics folder in the library of a flash cs4 project?

I have a list of 700 words that I would like to convert to symbols in Flash for a flash card game. I'm trying to make a game where a random symbol from a slice of the array of symbols will come into game play until the user performs an action.Basically, I'm wondering how I can create an arrayed/indexed library of symbols from a dictionary, for a downloadable Flash game. Does anyone know how I could start to script this? Also, if I want to pair a 'word symbol' with its translation, do I need to use a database? Obviously, because it's a flash-card type game I'm working on, the translated symbol is just as valuable as the original-language symbol.

(I'm using the free Flex SDK and compiling actionscript on the command-line) How can I create interface components around a Bitmap? I'd like to lay out my interface so that the Bitmap is in some sort of container, which interface components above and below it (and maybe to the side) Is it possible for a Bitmap to be the child of some Flex container? I haven't coded Flash since Flash 8. I'm not sure how to go about this at all. I thought maybe the Canvas container might work, but it throws a runtime error

Make a custom preloader for the whole project, in a class, is that possible? Is that a good idea to creat a custom class for the Menu or other components like Background, etc?As I read in the book "Essential ActionScript" it's ok to make custom classes and organize everything, catching the errors in isolated form , turns it easy to manage and update..How to organize the classes?

There are lots of examples of how to create skinnable components in AS3 using the new Spark component architecture, however I've yet to find any such examples using MXML.What I'm mainly referring to is defining the skin parts and skin states. It seems as though the SkinPart metadata is supposed to be associated with properties and as such can't be used in MXML, is this correct?

I have a graphic or movie clip as an example which is a water bottle. An what I wanna do is that depending on what is the user response, in my case is how long the person is doing some activity, depending on that I want flash to generate a number of graphics/movie clips on the screen. As example the person says that takes 6 minutes doing "x" activity, so as a response of a button click which says "generate consumption", it generates on the screen how many water bottles he has consumed for that range of time doing that activity, for example each minute is 2 water bottles, so it has to generate 12 water bottles on the screen when the user press "generate consumption".

When you import a PNG into the library, Flash creates a symbol as well. It doesn't do this for JPGs, so I'm wondering if there's a setting that I can change that. I don't want it to create a new symbol. If it can't be changed, can anyone tell me why it does it for PNG and not JPG?

I created a button, stored in library, and would like to create an instance of the button in AS3 and add to stage.
It seems that most people use movie clips as buttons, create instances, and add to stage. This works fine.
Is it possible to add instance of a button from the library and add to the stage?
