I am using Vectors in Flash 10 for the first time, and I want to create it in the same way I used to do with Arrays, e.g:var urlList : Array = [url1, url2, url3];I have tried various different methods but none seem to work, and I have settled on the following as a solution:
var urlList : Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
urlList.push(url1, url2, url3);
Is there any good solution to having 3d vector models with texture filled surfaces using as3? I though that as3 allowed the import of models and had classes for 3d vectors, but I can't seem to find anything about it except for third party software.Here is what I am working on: I have made a 3/D game board on which a turn based game will be played. You can drag it to a variety of angels and it looks decent. This was not made with a vector object however--it was made entirely by using functions like rotateX, rotateY, and rotateZ. It still took a long time to get correct.The problem is that if I put flat pieces on the board it will not look right, and there would be far too many frames to have the pieces pre-rendered considering that you can turn the board in any direction and that the pieces are to be animated.
View 1 RepliesAs you all know, Vector support type checking by added Type parameter.
var v:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
I wonder if I am able to create a custom class that have Type parameter, something like this
var myClassInstance: MyClassDefinition.<String>;
I'm getting
ActionScript Code:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
__AS3__.vec:Vector.ie.aro.floorplanviewer.model.buildingVOs:ConfigurationVO>[code]....
which surprises me as ConfigurationVO inherits from NodeVO.Is the compiler really not able to figure out that a Vector of a superclass should be able to hold a reference to a Vector of a subclass?
I need to import a bunch of vector work from Photoshop into Flash. Is there a trick to it. So far, on import, it's converting the layer styles into black.

I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.
I've recently been trying to rebuild a project we did at work so that we'd have a better and more flexible architecture for future projects. So far all is done, and work great, but I've been wanting to make the text we use (and we use a lot) easier to modify, so I thought having it outside my Flash/ActionScript files would do it. That way, I can change the text and have it working without having to recompile.
Unfortunatly, I've noticed that having the text in a .txt file puts random linebreaks which I really don't like, but XML severely limits what characters we can put in our text (no " < and so on, unless I'm missing something). Not to mention linebreaks would/could be a pain in an XML.
So, I'm wondering if you guys would have any ideas on how to do this, or even tips on how to do it in an XML or txt file that would work.

i have the following code:
[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.blattkopie = function(bildpfad, bildanzahl, bildbreite, bildhoehe, spalten, abstand) {
y = 0;
[Code]....
But: getBounds always returns that the MC has no dimension (x,y), also with _height or _width, the MC is always taking up zero space. is there any solution to return the dimensions for the state after it was filled dynamically by the createEmptyMovieClip and loadMovie functions?
I have a form that uses PHP to check to see if all variables are filled in. I have a button with
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
that checks the formcheck function and then sends the form or gives a popup that tells what part of the form needs to be filled in.
My problem is that I have a movie that I'd loike to act as a button. I've done this before with any other command (gotoAndPlay, getURL, etc), but the
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
does not work with a mc button, only with a regular button. Does anyone know a way around this, or why it does not work?

With brush_mc you can brush over a mask, wich turns the pixels to transparent in brush strokes.So visually it erases the mask and the masked movieclip appears. I want to trace, if the mask is completely turned transparent. Is it possible to check if the mask is turned completely transparant without bitmapdata?
// this creates a mask that hides the movieclip on top
var mask_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I'm trying to draw a filled rectangle with no border. Here's the code for my test project:
ActionScript Code:
myMC = this.createEmptyMovieClip("", this.getNexthighestDepth()-1);
myMC._x = 0;
[Code].....
If you take a look at the coordinates, this was suppose to draw a 180x22. Well, it looks lika it draws a 180x22 rectangle, but only if the zoom is at 100%. If I zoom in on the flash player, there are two problems:
1) the line, as it is scaled, goes over the shape edge. Basically, as the border line has 1 pixel, Flash starts do draw it half pixel up and half pixel left; 2) the rectangle is in fact a 179x21 pixels, instead of the 180x22.
I'm sending an example project on an attachment. In this example I have 2 vertical rectangles which act as buttons:
1) the first button draws the rectangle step-by-step;
2) the second button cycles through 3 different styles:
2.1) line with 1 pixel, normal border rescale. This is the style at start;
2.2) no line;
2.3) line with 1 pixel, no border rescale.
The background is a checker texture, with 1 pixel per square. This gives you a perfect look on how the line is drawn.
The drawing instructions are executed on the yellow movieclip, which serves as reference, considering that it has the desired dimensions (180x22). *
If you zoom a couple of times you'll be able to see the problems I'm experiencing.
All you have to do is to click the first vertical button several times to draw the lines, to press the second vertical button to reset the draw and to change the border style, and finally to look at the draw with some zoom in, in order to see it in detail.
So, what can I do in order to draw a perfect rectangle, meaning that the border will not go outside the shape (it would be nice that when the border is rescaled, it does it inside the boundaries of the shape) and the rectangle has right dimensions (why am I missing one pixel in each direction?).
* By the way, is there a way to draw in a movieclip using the lineTo in such a way that the drawing is on the topside instead of the bottomside? I had to make the yellow rectangle partially transparent in order to see my drawing.
i can set color of shape easily via shape.transform.colorTransform..... etc its unbeleiveable, what color is already filled in a shape??
i know, i can draw a bitmap on top of it and get pixel data from that... but
1- it seems lengthy approach ( lazy enough, don't want to write few more lines)
2- it confuses, because if i don't want to get color from pixel but i know one flat color is filled?? but shape is strange / arbitrary / random... how can i confirm that specific pixel has some color or not??
i just wanted to know what flat color is filled inside a shape(very edgy...)
I have a form that calculates totals. What I want to do is send the results by email.
I tested a simple email form with success (name, email and body message, all input txt fields). The form also works fine (thanks again bamb0006). My problem is getting the resulting data of the filled form in the email body message.
In the attached (Flash MX 2004 professional) .fla you'll find a reasonably basic scroller that i can't get to work properly. The advanced part of it is that the content of the MC clip that is to be scrolled up and down is filled dynamically based on the number of items it needs to display. In this demo the number is set but this will eventually be data from an XML file. the trouble is that altough the MC scrolls one screen at a time (using setinterval and an easing function) it loses track of the correct start and end positions after one or two screens. Please take a look and see what the trouble could be. Don't mind the design (there isn't any) it's just a test of the functionality. This little code snippet shows how i did the down button for instance:

I wonder how you can get text in input textfields that dissappear when you click in them to write something. Something similar to what's on [URL] I understand how you get the text there with variables but not how you make it dissappear when you highlight them.

I have created a empty movie clip . And i,m brushing on that .(i.e)Filling(Begin Fill) it with ellipse for every click .
How do I check whether it is filled at particular place .(say 400 x 400 from x=0,y=0)?
This code here works if the src is filled with my videolink
<object width="620" height="348">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed src="myvideolink...." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/>
</object>
Now my next step is to fill it via javascript
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video object embed').attr('src', $(this).attr('href'));
});
But this isn't working... empty flash is displayed. But the generated source code seems ok. The href of the link is in the src attribute of the ebmed tag. Source code is correct again but still not playing my video
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video').append('<object width="620" height="348"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>

<embed src="'+$(this).attr('href')+'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/></object>');
