I am using Flash CS5 and I have created a large, rarely changing framework that I don't want to be recompiled every time I use it in my projects.I must be doing something wrong because the "auto-complete" functionality doesn't show the names of the parameters of the functions.For example, I have a function:
public class Hey {
public function show(name:String, num:Number, data:Array):void {...}
}
For some reason, in the past few days, the auto complete feature doesn't work well when I'm creating a new class file. I'm trying to write a new class which uses away3D, and even though the auto-complete works well when I start a new AS3 file, it just doesn't work as far as away3D is concerned when I try to create a new AS3 Class file. Other features of the auto-complete don't work as well, for some reason.
I am trying to write C++ code to interface to arbitrary instances of flash player 10 contained in arbitrary web pages from IE. All I need to be able to do is:
1) determine if the player is playing,
2) start playback, and
3) stop playback.
I am searching for a way to so this programmatically, without resorting to simulating user input to the control.
I have played around with the IShockwaveFlash COM interface which works OK on some sites but not others (e.g. not on YouTube). I am wondering if it is possible to use IShockwaveFlash::CallFunction() with the appropriate XML string to invoke predefined functions in ActionScript that have not been explicitly exported using ExternalInterface.addCallback().
Or perhaps there is enough functionaly using accessibility and the IAccessible interface?
Posted this to the Adobe Support forum too, but so far, no luck there. My Flash CS4 installation on one computer is not giving me the auto complete choices it should for AS3. When I open an FLA for AS3, the ActionScript panel gives me the correct auto complete options for AS3.When I create a new AS file, link it to an AS3 FLA file, the auto complete options in the AS file are AS2 related and I cannot figure out why it's doing this or how to get my AS3 options back.I have some screen shots posted there to show what's happening.
In any case I had a question about exporting. You see I imported a flv file (which was converted from a wmv) into Flash Prof CS5, when I did this I got a nice interface to choose a player control skin for the movie. However when I export the movie the player controls are no longer present.I'm doing this simply so I can embed the swf on a website and wish the user to have some control over it.
I did a photo gallery with loadMovie functions and It works fine when I preview it in flash but when I go to export it and publish it on my website the photos don't load into the clip. Is it because I'm in flash MX? do I just need to upgrade or what?
my auto complete isn't working.ActionScript Code:import flash.display.MovieClipusing the above, if I type: import flash.display. there is only one item in the auto complete (BitmapData), when there should be a lot more than that. Why are they not showing?
i have a dictionary of words and would like to autocomplete as people writes i want to show the alternate word but what i have found lack of discrimination...if i type "an" in the list i'll have "announcement" and also "atlanta". there should be a way to limit the words based on the characters coincidents..
I've been working with Flash Builder for quite a long time, but just lately, developing a relative small project in Flex, when I try to auto complete the code sometimes the whole application crashes (keeps loading forever). It happened when I was writing <Style source="" /> or even when it was auto generating an handler for an event, so I guess it doesn't depend on the classes I use.
I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code: item.onRelease = function() { myButton.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://google.com", "_blank"); } talk = this.txt; } the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
I need to make an auto complete component in flex that fetches the auto complete results from a remote database using a webservice. I have the webservice and querying part worked out. I've already made custom components in action script by extending VBoxes. However I cannot figure out how to generate the popup window that is supposed to show under the text input in my auto complete text box.
My question concerns the following tutorial I've been working through:Building a Flex Type-Ahead Text Input
I was successful in enabling a search of available terms using the characters entered in the input, but only irrespective of the location of the characters in the terms. However, I am wondering how one might have the characters match only the beginning of the terms.
For example, suppose I enter the string "app" into the text input. How can I get only "apple" and not, for instance, "pineapple" to appear as an option?
Code: for (var i=1; i < 13; i++) { var box = new kutu(); addChild(box); }
The code it adds 12 times object called "box".. but if I want different names for each object? For example make the name for each Code: name = "box_"+i;
I am amateur in flex, and started my final year project in flex to learn it, I am stuck in place where I have to create rows of drop down lists when the user pressed add more, E.g.: like the ones in mail attachments. I think I have found a way to generate rows, I am not even sure whether it is a correct way, how I generate the rows:
Now when I generate more rows the dropdownlist ids will conflict, so I want to know a way to generate ids, I think I cant even call a function in there.
I am trying to set up a function that makes the hit areas for buttons. The text is visible, but the hit area rectangle underneath the text is not, but detects the hit; my previous version, the mouse had to be over the actual descenders and ascenders of text to register, to the rectangle makes it easier to click. I have the invisible part of the hit areas visible right now, by commenting out the line to make them invisible, but the end result will have them invisible. Instead of explicitly defining every rectangle, I am successfully passing the x,y,height, and width params to newbut function. But I also want to pass the names for each button, otherwise it seems to just change the coordinates on the same button. I am trying to pass the names as strings, but not working. Not sure what to do!!! PS this is my first time on this or any other Flash board, so please be gentle.[code]...
I like reusing functions repeatedly so I pass the object to the function (blur, drop shadow, etc.) but if an Event or MousEvent function is involved, I have to do things I don't like. In my example, I had to put the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE function as a sub function of the setTimer function. I would rather keep the functions apart but I don't know how to pass a parameter to the event function to tell it what movieclip(timerObject) to fade in. Is there a better way to do this?
I have about 10 as3 coded buttons that use the same AS3 coded parameters to control the font and filters of their text fields. I'd like to create a global function to hold these parameters, and then just call the function within each button, and then also code each button to have it's own myText.text = "blahblah"; I can set up a global function no problem using an external as file, but am having trouble getting Flash to accept the parameters. For example, the following parameters work fine when used within the text fields of the buttons, but as so as I try to put them in an external global function, Flash doesn't like the parameters being external:
myFunc(tracer); function tracer(message:String):void{ trace(message);[code]........
Now, this works fine. But how can the function myFunc know, if the given callback function accepts the correct number and type of arguments in its signature?I want to avoid that I call something like this somewhere in my code:
myFunc(tracer2); function tracer2():void{ trace("done");[code]..........
Is there a way to do something like this, in order to use compiler warnings/error messages and thus avoid exceptions at runtime?
// Won't work :-(
function myFunc(callback(message:String):Function):{ callback("Hello"); }
I have a function fooA(valueA1, valueA2) which calls web method myWSA(). Upon reeiving the result, it invokes a result handler which inturn calls another web service myWSB(value2). I want to know how I can pass/access this value2 into foo2. These values: value1 and value2 are dependent on the button clicled.[code]...
After dragging many MovieClips/Components onto the stage, how can I generate a report (or display on screen)by listing the names,parameters, values of all the movie clips/ components dragged on the stages?
Is it possible to pass variable as arguments for a function? I wish to update a boolean variable via a function, by passing the name of the variable to the function, like so:
Code: function ENVSegment(curSegment:Boolean, nextSegment:Boolean) { curSegment = false; nextSegment = true; } var attackSegmentIsRunning:Boolean = false; var releaseSegmentIsRunning:Boolean = false; [Code] .....
Much shorter, and easier to understand. Also, less repetition of the same blocks of code over and over...
