I am using bulkLoader to load dozens of SWFs into my Flex app, and all of SWFs are static (1 frame only). 'Everything' works fine, however, I'm not sure how to handle data from bulkLoader... I am getting MovieClip types for all of my SWFs, and I am not sure how to tell to Image or SWFLoader classes to use some of those MovieClips as source.
View 1 RepliesI have a bit of an elaborate loading setup I have written asa reusable framework. Right now I have this one kink in it that Ican't get passed.I have class HeatmapComponentController which is a simpleclass extending another class BaseCompoentController.HeatmapComponentController is the DocumentClass of another moviecalled heatmap_component.swf. After my BulkLoader's COMPLETE eventis fired (having fully loaded the swf) I try to use theLoadingItem.content as a BaseComponentController... like so...
private function _onLoadComplete($evt:Event) {
var _baseComponentController:BaseComponentController =
loadingItem.item.content as BaseComponentController;

Is it possible to open MS Word from within Flex?I have a Flex application running within a browser, a user will be presented with a list of documents and when they click on a document name the binary content of the document is retrieved via a webservice call. I want to be able to present this information to the user. They don't need to edit this document or change it in anyway, just read it.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently using BulkLoader to load in swfs as MovieClips. What I'm trying to do though is duplicate the loaded movieclips and attach them to other clips?
I seen something that senocular posted about creating duplicates of display objects in AS3 but it didn't seem to work with BulkLoader and swfs?
Is there other ways to duplicate loaded movieclips?
I'm using BulkLoader as my main loading class for the project I'm working on. I would like to know how to set the name of a MovieClip that has been loaded with BulkLoader. Here's an example of my problem:The error I get is as follows:Code: Select allError: Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.I have tried to set the name of the movieclip before I load set it to the swf that was loaded with BulkLoader, like this:Code: Select allvar random:MovieClip = new MovieClip();random.name = "random";random = _bulkLoader. getMovieClip ("randomSwf. swf");However, this results in the name property being changed to the random instance name that flash assigns it when it gets loaded in.So my question is, is there any way I can change the .name property of the movieclip that is loaded in with BulkLoader, so I can get access to it through the getChildByName() method?

For example in Java you can do:List<Person> where Person is the object type.In AS3/FlexArrayCollection which takes any object type. Is there any way to create a list/collection of declared objects in AS3/Flex (or is it impossible due to weakly typed language)?

I succeeded in sending typed objects from a PHP application to a flex front-end using Zend_AMF as per this question. The problem I am facing now is that I would like to send a typed object from flex to PHP and on the PHP side, be able to receive it as a typed object instead of stdClass.
Here is the class in flex:
package com.mysite{
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="CTest")]
public class CTest {
public var stuff1:String;
[Code] .....
After some testing, I removed the namespace from the PHP object and moved it into the global namespace. This seems to have resolved the issue. I have tried setting RemoteClass to modules estingCTest and also modules.testing.CTest. $_eplicitType was then set to the same value for both tests. The result is that when I use modules.testing.CTest, this is the classname that Zend_AMF sees. If I use namespace notation, Zend_AMF sees modulestestingCTest, as all the slashes get stripped out. But how can I get this working with php namespaces?
So is
public var user:Object = {};
user["firstName"] = "Bill";
user["lastName"] = "Cosby";
Slower than if I have a value object like User?
var user:User = new User();
user.firstName = "Bill";
user.lastName = "Cosby";
Is it possible to receive custom generic typed objects through AMF? I'm trying to integrate a flex app with an existing C# service but flex is choking on custom generic typed objects. As far as I can tell Flex doesn't even support generics, but I'd like to be able to even just read in the object and cast its members as necessary. I basically just want flex to ignore the <T>. I'm hopeful that there's a way to do this, since flex doesn't complain about typed collections (a server call returning List works fine and flex converts it to an ArrayCollection just like an un-typed List).
The custom C# typed class
public class TypeTest<T> {
public T value {
get; set; }
public TypeTest () {
}}
The server method returning the typeTest
public TypeTest<String> doTypeTest() {
TypeTest<String> theTester = new TypeTest<String>("grrrr");
return theTester;
[Code] .....
Irritatingly if I change the result handler to take parameter of type Object it works fine. How to make this work with the value object?
Is the same possible in ColdFusion? Currently I am using .Net/Fluorine to return objects to the client. Whilst in testing I like to pass strings representing the select statement and the custom object I wish to have returned from my service. Fluorine has a class ASObject to which you can set the var 'typeName'; which works great.
I am hoping that this is possible in Coldfusion. Does anyone know whether you can set the type of the returned object in a similar way. This is especially helpful with large collections as the flash player will convert them to a local object of the same name thus saving interating over the collection to convert the objects to a particular custom object.

I have a combobox and a datagrid that are both populated by an xml. The combobox works perfectly. The datagrid is loading something cause the auto scrollbar comes up and is longer or shorter depending on what category I select from the combobox. For some reason the datagrid simply isn't displaying any text. I'm sure it's something small that I'm overlooking, but I just can't find it.[URL]
View 9 RepliesSo I'm building a video player that appears in a nested (display) hierarchy, and I would really like an easy way to preserve the background. I have a Loader SWF that contains a bg, and another SWF (which contains the video player) that toggles between StageVideo and Video per the end user's environment. I have StageVideo working, but it always shows below other content.Now I know that this is the desired behavior for StageVideo, as it allows the GPU to render content directly to the screen without having to composite the video feed with display list contentbut I really want to be able to show my background (if only as a 'picture frame') behind the video player. Drawing a simple rectangular frame around the player such that it appears to have a bg will not work; I need to be able to also display images and other DisplayObjects behind the video player itself

I'm building an XML driven flash site and am trying to figure out the best way to structure it. I have one XML file which holds all the data for 4 sections. As the site design is really simple and stays the same across the site, i think it's probably best to keep it all housed within one SWF, using MCs for each section.
The only thing is i'm not sure how this will work with displaying the content from the XML, preloading etc. Ideally i'd like it so the content is only loaded when it's requested, rather than all at once. (there will be lots of images, videos.. etc). Would i need to structure it differently for this to happen? Such as using an XML file for each section, and/or an external SWF for each section? Or is it possible to only load parts of the XML data when needed?
- I have a sample online store with products & numeric steppers so the user can select the quantity the want. I want to display their selections into the flash datagrid so that upon checkout they can see the products chosen.
-I have several columns for the datagrid, "Quantity, Product, Price, & Total". I want to display the items chosen in their corresponding fields however, the way I have set up my code all of the items are appearing in the one column.

View 1 RepliesI have a small problem with loading in a XML-file into an AS3.0 script The thing is the code is not giving errors but my screen is not displaying my content. What should I do ?
[Code]...
I created a flash application that is dynamically displaying xml feeds from content partners. This flash application has a black background and will be called and displayed from the C# windows application. The issue is sometimes when our application loads the flash swf file, the background color turns white so the text being displayed are not readable anymore since they are white. This intermittent and I am using flash cs 5 actionscript 3. Before I was relying on the stage background but after I saw the issue, I already used a solid background container like (vector, png, gif, or jpeg).

View 1 RepliesI'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?
Not sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pro with flash so I don't know what is causing this. I am using the Boutell XSPF player due to its support of Autoresume, if that helps. I added it to the list of players, and have the flash embed code in a block. I am achieving this using the Drupal Audio module and submodules supporting it.
View 1 Repliesi have created a page in flash with input text field and a toggle button which implies full screen mode as well as normal mode by including the below script. stage.display = "fullscreen".
Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of fullscreen mode Is there any solution to enable the keyboad inputs.
use local languages like Tamil, Hindi, Other than English in flash not only for Displaying the content and for Getting input(Like Gmail unicode type writer) also in these languages
