Actionscript 3 :: Integrate Flash Professional And Flash Builder?
Apr 12, 2011
I'm an AS3 developer used to working with Flash Builder. I'm working with a designer who's using Flash Professional to design sprites and backgrounds for a game. I'm looking to create an integrated workflow for us, so they can layout levels in Flash Pro and I can add events in Flash Builder.
As well as triggering events when the player collides with items, triggering animations etc., I'm also looking to switch between scenes when the player changes level and the game changes state (start menu, in-play, game over etc.). To do this I'd like to load everything into Flash Builder and manipulate it programatically - showing and hiding scenes, scrolling, checking for collisions etc.
I've found guides to exporting a swc from Flash Pro and accessing the library in Flash Builder, but this only gives me the classes, not the positioned instances of objects. Is it possible to access everything on the stage as I'm looking to do?
This seems like an obvious workflow but I'm not finding it clear how it's done. Is my approach correct, or is there a better way to do this? Any advice on how to setup this workflow generally, what to do or avoid? More specifically, how can I access the entities on the stage and switch between scenes?
I have developed a restaurant menu app for samsung galaxy tab 8.9 .I want to send all ordered details to micros pos eg item name,table name qty ordered , item price to pos .I have deeveloped this application using flash builder 4.6 ie used flex 4.6 and actionscript as technologies .So how do i integrate my application with micros pos to send all data ordered to it with micros pos??
Here's what I am trying to do: I am working on a flash site and I want it to start out with a bang so I've made a intro clip in After Effects in 1920x1080. I want this intro to start by you clicking a button. So when you first see the screen you are going to see the paused video (In my case the earth from outer space) and a big red button which you can click to start this video. Since I am working in 1080p I won't be able to use FLV so we are talking about the embeded video function. My problem: I want the video to stop or go to the next frame after playback it only loops as of now.

I'm trying to integrate a Flash Professional/AS3 game into Facebook. The swf is hosted on a secure (https) server. The swf has to connect to a SmartFoxPro socket server on another domain.I'm using the Facebook Actionscript API to interface with Facebook. (Should I use PHP, instead? I read an article that recommends using PHP, because the Actionsrcipt API may not be kept up to date.) When I fire up my app, I get a "Security Information" pop-up box saying that the page contains both secure and nonsecure items. I click "yes" to all the display of the nonsecure items.
Then, I get an "XD Proxy blah-blah-blah" popup. This pop-up goes away, and then my app logs in to my SmartFox server.So... What is this "XD Proxy" window? I think it looks unprofessional, and users may think there's an error with the app. Also, can I block or hide the "Security Information" pop-up? Why don't I see this in other FB apps?
Problem: I would like to enable code hinting and highlighting in either Flash Professional or Flash Builder when developing an Actionscript Communications File (.asc). Steps Taken: Searched Google with limited success, most signs all pointed to [URL] where one may obtain an Eclipse Plugin, but:It was created in 2007 (likely out dated)It has known bugs that haven't been addressedSearched this forum / adobe's web site to find a solution, to no avail.Posted this, now, in an attempt to put this to rest Request: how I can enable FP or FB to give code hints / syntax highlighting
What is the workflow for creating an AIR application in Flash Builder and how does it differ from Flash Professional? I am familiar with Flash Professional, but I'm trying top wrap my head around FB, but I'm coming from a stint in iOS development and Flash Pro is driving me crazy. (I have difficulty with classes mixed with the timeline, but I think that MXML might be a good substitute for the timeline.)(Bonus: What are some good online resources for learning MXML?)
I'm working on a Mac Pro with Mac Os 10.6.5 installed with the 64bits version.It was pretty good to see that Flash Builder can now work with Flash CS5. But if I don't work on Flash Builder or Flash CS5 for several minutes, Flash crashes everytime ! I have never worked once on the combo Flash CS5 / Flash builder 4 without having Flash crashing !It is very annoying, and a huge waste of time
I have a trial version of flash builder (eclipse plug-in) and registered flash cs5 proI'm trying to open a new AS3 class like in this tutorial: [URL]nd it doesn't work.at first it did asked if I want to edit the file in flash builder or not, and it didnt work.now it won't even ask.and also I cant open a flash proffessional project in flash builder, it says "This feature requires Adobe Flash CS5 or higher to be installed."but it is installed!
I'm a bit confused with the purpose of these programs. For example if I want to create a game or utility app that runs on air. Can I design it in Flash Professional and later open in Builder for more heavy coding? Or is Catalyst supposed to be used as the design program?
I used to think that you design stuff in Flash Professional and then open the project up in Builder to do more deep coding.
I recently purchased the CS5 Master Collection and am struggling to understand the uses for Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4. I was inspired by Jay Pavlina's Super Mario Crossover game and wish to make similar applications.
However, I am confused about whether I should be using Flash Professional or Flash Builder 4 or both? I purchased the two books that Jay Pavlina recommended "ActionScript 3.0 Animation Making Things Move!" and "Essential ActionScript 3.0". I've been trying to find resources that will help me understand exactly the purpose of each of these applications. It appears to me that ActionScript 3.0 is used in both? So which one should I be using? Or both? Or is one more design oriented and the other more development oriented? Can one make flash game like Jay's using just one or the other?
Is there a way to access the d:userLabel attribute in Flash Builder? I want to use a number of different files created from Illustrator -> Catalyst -> Flash Builder
Now the question: Can I access the "userLabel" with a scriptfunction? Something similar to getElementByID? I want to change for example the fillcolor of a rect or path with that function. Because I have no id here I can't do something like: R_1.fill = blue And I don't want to manually change the files from Illustrator.
Is there a way that I can load (or export) Flex/Flash builder project in Flash Professional CS5?As it turns out we got Flash Prof for our team, but it may look like we actually need Flash builder to build lots of UI related stuff..
I have an AIR project that I was working on Flash Builder 4.5 which now I'm trying to import to my updated Flash Builder 4.5.1 and it is prompting me to fix some paths before the import is completed. I'm kinda clueless what I should put in those fields.

I am a designer working on a mobile project and I am experience in using Flash Professional and I am also beginning to get more comfortable with Flex. Is there a reason why I should use Flash Builder 4.5 instead of Flash Pro? Part of the mobile project will have some database calls (php+msql) and I also will be using geolocation with google maps. I think that all of these could be done in Flash Pro.I am tring to figure out a good workflow and I seem to be getting behind on my project because of these variables.
I have standalone Flash Builder 4 which I downloaded as a trial and then later plugged in the license key. When I try to add Eclipse plugins by going to menu, Install New Software, the dialog for "Available Software" is broken. It looks very different from the same dialog in Eclipse, and it has no way to add update sites, etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
Is there a library for SSH in ActionScript 3? If not, how to have Flash integrate with SSH.I have a Flash prototype programmed out, and my client wants to see some minimal integration with an SSH server. What is needed is basically: connectauthenticate send a few basic commands I can't just have these commands be sent out blindly, as I need Flash to be aware of the SSH feedback and let the user know if the authentication, commands, etc were successful.

Also Flash can manipulate and sent this back to serverTo integrate flash and MySQL one can do the following:(1) MySQL -> php -> Flash (e.g. What is the most robust way to set up (1) and (2) to work at scale - as quickly as possible? What are the server loading implications? Is there any other way to do (1) and (2) more effectively?
I'm new to Flash and I just noticed that the custom font that I used for my menus is not being displayed on machines that do not have this font, only a default font is shown there.I tried to include the font in the library (Library -> New Font), but it still doesn't workDo I have to start from scratch with the imported font? Or was I supposed to checksomething/add some settings (like "Export for ActionScript" or "Export for runtime sharing"?).
