I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.
If I want to play all the children movieclips, is this code correct ?
ActionScript Code:
MovieClip(getChildAt(currentCount)).play();
I receive the following warning, probably because I'm using a cast. How can I get all the children and play them then ?
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Shape@28a63741 to flash.display.MovieClip.

I have a set of movieclips that are added as children to a parent mc. I want to scale the parent mc up but keep one of the mc's in the same place on the stage. I think the easiest way to do that is to scale the mc up, calculate how far the child mc moves and move the parent an equal amount in th opposite direction. Everything works but I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the math required to calculate the distance to move the parent mc. Has anyone else tried this? Is there an easier way that I don't know about?

I know the title may be funny for you but I am actually facing it. My page has a checkbox and textbox. I have a flash control (not developed by and so I don't have it's code) and a button inside that control. When the button is clicked inside flash control it causes redirection(or may be postback) to the same page but the values typed the user in textbox and checkbox are no longer available. They are lost! How can I handle this stuff? I am pulling my hair apart. I don't even the source code of that control

View 1 RepliesThe website need to login to perform certain task. We use stock Auth component to do the job.
Everything is fine until it hits an interface which build in Flash. Talking to Amf seems fine. But when the Flash player try to talk to other controller - got redirect because the session in not presented.
So basically when a user login - I need to somehow find a way to login the Flash player in as well.
ADDITION: This only solve half of the problem.
Backtrack a little bit. How the Auth components evaluate the requester?
If the Session.checkAgent is true. They check if its the last one. So Flash has no chance they have a different Agent string.
OK now - Auth check them out - what? The Session cookie they store earlier ... so fail again.
I am using Amf (as Cakephp Plugins) when I tried to test if the $this->params['actions'] is start with amf - it works sometime doesn't work sometime. Looking at "Charles" I can see they all call to the amf controller.
The pictures (.png or .bmp) looks fine when they viewed in "Windows Picture & Fax Viewer" but when I imported it to Flash CS4, It lost their quality and doesn't look attractive.

I am working with a function that converts csv data to a multi-dimentional array. I am then going through the characters to find specific situations in the way the strings are handled in the array. One example is if I have a string like - "this is a string, yeah" - then I make sure not to count the comma in the string because it is between quotes from that string. Anyhow In the following function I have some how lost my spaces in the results.Instead of getting "this is AS3" I am getting "thisisAS3". Spaces seem to only be available in the strings that have quotes.
function CSVtoArray(csv:String):Array {
var inQuotes:Boolean = false;
var field:String = "";

Trying to make a grid based question answer game and load variables from a text file using for loops into an array. I wanted to reduce redundant code and use for loops to populate my arrays. The issue I am having is with my arrays being lost/destroyed outside of the loader function.
I understand that if an array is declared inside the function, naturally the array would be destroyed upon exit of the function. However I am declaring the arrays outside of the function so the arrays should remain intact after I exit the function.
BTW - I'm not having an issue with the loading of the data. The data is loading correctly. The array is simply being destroyed after the data has loaded.
//Create the arrays to hold the
//categories, questions, and answers
var categoryArray:Array = new Array();

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?
