Actionscript 3 :: MXML Versus Actionscript For Flexibility

Mar 3, 2011

I am developing an app which allows the user to customise every component such as button line colour, text colour etc. Clearly I need a lot of flexibility in these components to ensure detailed customisation.I am deciding whether to use MXML or AS for my view part of the components, I am aware AS is lighter on memory but harder to write, but am unsure on whether MXML is flexible enough for my requirements?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flexibility With FlashPaper

Apr 17, 2006

I wanted to know flexibility with flashpaper in terms of actionscript. Can you access flashpaper functions, like searching for keywords, and things like that? Or does flash paper generate an independent swf that you cannot use at all through actionscript?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Optimizing Modular Apps (Load Time / Flexibility)

Jan 26, 2010

I'm working on a large application that is broken up into many independent swfs. There is a master swf that loads a navigation shell and the foundational logic, and a module loading system that loads child swfs into the main display area. This is all working smoothly, and now I'm onto building the modules, and I'm starting to feel like my methods aren't as efficient as they should be. The module swfs (and corresponding flas) are located in a "modules" subdirectory of the main project's src folder. These modules share a large number of classes. In fact, most them define no new classes that are specific to just that module. The shared classes have a complicated structure of inheritance and interface usage, and are located in a view/structure subdirectory of the main src folder.

Currently, in order to use the shared classes from view/structure in my module swfs, I add the main project's src folder to the source path in each of the module flas. Besides being a bit tedious to do every time, it.
1.) Redundantly compiles the shared classes into each module increasing file sizes across the board,
2.) Requires addition of new source paths to the modules for every developer who wants to work on/test the application because they are absolute values and different on every os's file system, and
3.) Doesn't allow modules to be built independently without access to the main project src folder

Actionscript 3 :: Three Way Binding In MXML Custom Component (using Only Mxml)

Jun 22, 2011

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.

Flex :: Extending Mxml Component With From Another Mxml Component With Visual Child Supported?

May 18, 2011

I've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.

What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?

if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?

A Video-loop at 25fps imported to flash, embedded, plays fine if the project fps also is 25fps.But i also want to add a 3D Carousel menu, but at the projects 25 fps it goes a little bit choppy when rotating quick.So I try to change the projects fps to 50, and voila, the menu looks good but the video plays to fast.The video should alternate between clips randomly, and the clips has to be preloaded, thus its embedded in the swf (...or could this be done with flvs?)5-10 clips.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash FPS Lag In MAC Versus PC?

Oct 27, 2011

I'm working on a new portfolio, full flash website for myself and so far I've been working on my Macbook Pro almost entirely. The website is somewhat heavy in graphics/animation however nothing too big, all pages are around 500kb or less. Running the website on my MAC in any browser it looks perfect, the animation runs smooth, everything goes great. However, when I try to run the same website on my PC which is pretty good, the whole website feels a little bit choppy and laggy and I'm not sure why. It feels like it chokes for 1/4th of a second every like 2-3 seconds, lower FPS basically.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Delegate Versus Instance?

Aug 14, 2007

when i'm coding directly on the timeline, i usually create a var like this:

Code:
var home:MovieClip = this;

so i always have something to reference the main timeline's scope. how could i do this in a class? delegate.create gets a little confusing.

i tried a few things like the following:

Code:
class com.myClass
{
public var className:String = "myClass";
public static var version:String = "0.0.1";

[code]...

of course this is redundant because it'll scope just fine as parseNews();, but i'm just wondering why it's letting me scope it like this here and not in the onLoad declaration?

ActionScript 2.0 :: SWF Versus HTML Scrollbar?

Jun 15, 2010

I have an AS2 .swf file called �sample.swf� This �sample.swf� contains a proportionally resizable background image. An external .swf file �content.swf� loads on top of it. The size of �content.swf� is 900x600 px and it is positioned to the absolute center (x and y) of the stage at all times.

So basically you open the page in a browser and resize it, the background image resizes as well and keeps its proportions and the content always stays in the absolute center regardless of the size of the browser. Here�s my problem, when I resize my browser to smaller than the content size (900x600), the content gets cut off. So what I want is to activate the scrollbars whenever the browser size goes under 900x600 in either directions (x,y) You tell me if it�s possible. I am open to other solutions as well.

Here�s my html code.

HTML Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7" />
