I'm debugging some code and see a loop where an event is dispatched and a remote call is made for every record.Everything was working fine until there were several hundred records (700) to be a exact. Is that going to make the flash player chug? Should I move to a queued system? How many records is too many? [code]
View 1 RepliesI like to keep my timelines compact, so I often have several graphics in a single layer. Let's imagine that I have a series of five keyframes, with four shapes in each one. Over the course of those five keyframes, one of the four shapes changes into a different shape. Now, let's say that I realize that one of the static shapes needs to be something different. "Oh no! That circle shoudl be a triangle instead!".
I know how to use Edit Multiple Frames to drag a box around that shape and delete it across those keyframes, but there are a few problems with that.One is that if the keyframes are really long or I have more like 30 or 40 keyframes in which I want to make this change, I have to drag and scroll and drag and scroll the shaded part of the playhead to cover all the of the keyframes or be willing to do it in chunks. Also, if the thing I want to delete is sitting on top of something else,then I can't drag a box around it without selecting that other thing. I could click the object and delete it, but that only deletes it from the right-most keyframe. I then have to click and delete for every keyframe.
All of this is secondary to the fact that Edit Multiple Frames doesn't seem to allow you to paste something into all of those frames. At least, not any way I can tell. I suppose this is a sade-effect of not assigning every asset its own layer, but that would get almost unmanageable with some of the projects I work on.if there's a way to paste things into multiple/successive keyframes on the same layer?
I am attempting to fire successive actions from the same button by setting different variables throughout the process like so...(using Fuse to animate)

var spotTwo:Boolean = false;
var spotThree:Boolean = false;

This isn't working for me.
created a new textfield(digitC) I want to use again and again. First time thru, I applied an animation to the text object that scaled it down to half size. the next time I use the textfield I want to reset it to its original size.
I tried resetting the textFormat to the original font size and reapply to format to digitC. But digitC retains the half size font. How do I reset digitC to original size?
How would you write a method that returns the length of the longest sequence of successive numbers in an array?
For example [1,2,3,1,0,7,9,10,16]
would output
7,9,10,16 ....
I would like to implement an inspection time task using Actionscript. The idea is to dynamically change the time interval between masked and unmasked images based on user responses. The "inspection time" is defined as the interval at which the user achieves certain accuracy. There are various factors affecting the accuracy of that interval: monitor refresh rate, flash vm frame rate, Timer event accuracy, render time. Anything else? How do I determine the actual inverval the user sees? High accuracy is required, since typical performance is from 20 to 80 msec on that task. I assume the limiting factor is the monitor refresh rate. If it's 60Hz, I would only be able to increment by 16.7msec.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash movie that uses Actionscript 2.0 to trigger animations. The swf and flv files are separate though - the flv is called by the swf. There are cues in the flv that fire Actionscript events. How can I get the whole thing to export? I can convert the flv to an avi but I need the animations.
View 1 Repliesim using a function that iterates through all nodes in an XML tree, and then calls itself again if any of the nodes it is looking at has a set of child nodes, so in other words it multi-dimensionally loops through the entire XML tree.[code]one question i have is - am i correct in my assumption that while variables declared within a function are not accessible anywhere but within that function, if a function calls itself, any loops within that function that use a variable such as "i" will be affected seeing as "i" is accessible within the function?if so, how do i get around that? currently my function loops through all the way down to last child node it can find along the first branch of the XML tree, but then doesnt continue looping through the other branches.
View 1 Replies why this isn't working. im dynamically loading a list of mp3's and when i click on them i want to play the mp3 that i clicked on (this is the thisRow.onRelease function), but it says that the "this.filename" property is undefined, but it is defined when i trace it.
Code:
function populateSongs() {
for(var i:Number = 0; i < songArr.length; i++) {
//trace(i);[code].........
I made an animation and I split it up into 3 swfs. Now I want to put them together so it plays one and then Calls the other and plays it when the first one is done and so forth.

Using Tweener, is it possible to run code in between two calls to it (Tweener)?I'm a little bit familiar with Tweener and am trying to use set ChildIndex() after one call to Tweener executes and prior to running a second Tweener.[code]I'm trying to get the sprites to switch levels in the depth chart (so to speak) so that one sprite will appear on top on the first pass but then appear behind another sprite on the second pass, but it seems like the lines of code execute while the Tweener is running, and the desired effect is not happening.
View 3 RepliesI have created a movie that calls up an MP3 (background music) with this script:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
var mySound:Sound= new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("MyMusic.Mp3" , true);
mySound.onLoad = function() {
mySound.start();
}
The thing plays great with Player 8, however, when I play back the same .swf from Player 10, the sound plays much too fast (speeded up...how can that be????), and the quality is horrible (lots of slurps and pops and blips and beeps in there).
I have a loader class that has a container and loads in swfs using Loader class. Within the loaded swf on the last frame of some nested clip, I have a call to a static function within some "Connector.as" class. Now what happens is when I try to unload the swf ( by removing all listeners, calling loader.stopAndUnload(), and setting all references of loader to null) before the nested clip calls the static funciton, the swf gets unloaded and garbage collected (all enterframe events etc. are removed because they no longer run) however even though there is no reference to the swf the nested clip still plays in the background and dispatches the call to the static function when the frame is reached

Has anyone used or is aware of a service browser to test AMF calls?I am looking for a tool similar to ZamfBrowser ( http:[url].... ), but one that works for the Java environment.ZamfBrowser is geared towards AMFPHP.The idea here is to provide a service browser, that allows developers to test Java services using the AMF protocol, without having to go through the Flex UI all the time. There has got to be something out there already for this, but I can't seem to locate anything..... It's kind of funny and strange that a service browser exists for AMFPHP but not for regular AMF calls in a Java environment.
I would imagine something exists under Blaze or LCDS? ...Trying to find it in the docs but can't seem to find anything ....The best alternative I can think of at the moment is to use FlexMonkey to record stuff, and then to simulate it using that....which is okay I guess but still sucks because you have to go in and create the Flex UI first, whereas with something like ZamfBrowser, you simply point it at the service calls,it tells the server-side developers if their code works, etc. generates the required as3 classes for you... and makes the integration process much easier in a large team.
Does adobe flex supports sychronous web service calls justify your answer???
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to make synchronous calls using RemoteObject in Flex?
Solution: Add the second call to the result handler of the first call, having a token check for multiple originating calls.
I have to use flex 4 for the front end and php with Symfony 2 as backend. I want to use amf to call remote methods on the php. I have known that Symfony 2 does not have plugin for amf communications with Flex. In this case how can I connect them? or I have to use httpservice/webservices which is slow in performance.

View 4 RepliesAre there any known issues (and workarounds) involving multiple calls toExternalInterface.call in ActionScript 2.0?I have 3 functions, each of which calls an external JavaScript function. These 3 functions run nearly back-to-back-to-back. The first time I load the page containing my Flash movie in a browser, I see the effects of all 3 JavaScript functions, as expected. However, once I begin reloading the page a few times, I begin to randomly see the effects of only 1, 2, or 3 of the JavaScript functions. Clearing the browser cache seems to "reset" this cycle, guaranteeing all 3 calls to work again successfully.
View 1 RepliesI've got a website where I want people to be able to upload their own SWFs which are then displayed on the page - mainly for timed image displays etc...I'm concerned about javascript security as flash can call JS functions, theoretically if you knew which JS commands to call (e.g. some AJAX stuff) then external people could do some real damage.So my question is, is there anyway I can disable calling javascript from within flash? Possibly something in the embed object paramaters tags?
View 2 RepliesMy main movie (SWF A) loads another movie (SWF B) and plays it.SWF B is legacy content - I can't modify it.SWF A is AS3. SWF B might be AS2 or AS3SWF B makes several calls to a javascript function that would normally reside in the hosting web page.The javascript calls might use ExternalInterface, or they might use getURL(javascript: xxx) or they might even use fscommand.
My questions:
Is there any way I can intercept the javascript call in movie A? I don't want to have to resort to the browser, so simply using ExternalInterface or similar to pipe the request back into the movie won't work.
If there is a way, how does it vary across the different versions (ie. what's the difference between the child movie being AS2 or AS3, and what's the difference between the various means of calling js?

View 7 RepliesWeeks back I faced a wierd issue in the behaviour of flashplayer running on IE7 which is invoking parallel https calls. I have two SSL enabled servers one is listening on port 443 and the other is listening on port 8443 but both running in the same domain. I developed a flex client (using httpservice class) which sends parallel https requests to these two servers. When the number of parallel requests increases say more than 5 requests to each server, the fault handler was encountered with the error message:[code]After breaking my head for a long days, I got one solution which would work. This issue is happening only if we are sending https requests to different ports in the same domain. So rather than moving one among the two servers to a new domain, I got a new DNS name for the same destination. So presently I got two DNS names pointing to the same machine in which both the servers are mounted.Now that I am using a separate DNS name for the server listening on port 8443 and the old DNS name is used to hit the server listening on 443.
View 1 RepliesWeb service calls are asynchronous in flex, but I wanted to wrap a web service call in a class to provide synchronous encapsulation. Something like the below - the user could call getMyMethodResult and get the result returned by the web service. I expected the thread that recieved the soap response would populate the variable _result and mean that getMyMethod would, after a time, find _result is not longer null. But it doesn't! Can anyone explain why this does not work?[code]
View 1 RepliesI have the following application in flex. I want to call two different remote objects in parallel.
[Code]...
Now what the methods do is to print sth. when they are called, then wait 8 secs and print sth. after that. When clicking each button seperatly, it works, both methods are started in parallel. However, calling both method the same time, leaves one service to wait with its call while until the other is executing. How can I avoid that?
