I have a pure as3 animation which doesn't utilize the stage or the timeline. What is the best way to loop the animation with as3? To my surprise I removed the "stop();" at the end of the animation and it does not loop. I also have the HTML properties set to Loop;

I've created a flash banner ad in cs3 and simply want the animation to play over and over again instead of stopping once it plays all the way through.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a ComboBox control in an ActionScript 3.0 Project I've been tasked with making modifications to. I know I need to do import fl.controls.ComboBox; Now, the problem is that if I do this within the (unfamiliar) environment of FlashDevelop, I get an error. My understanding is that adding a control is a matter of feeing FlashDevelop the correct classpath, which I think I've done. Some other websites seem to indicate that if I add the control to my library this problem goes away because the act of putting it in the library links the required resources. So, how can I do the equivalent of adding to an .FLA library within FlashDevelop?

I'm getting crazy because I can't access object NativeWindow in a "ActionScript Mobile Project", no matter what I do stage.nativeWindow is always null when I test on desktop. If I create a new NativeWindow then it's the stage property that is null. Oddly enough accessing stage.NativeWindow works when deploying on blackberry playbook but not when debugging configuration Launch Method on desktop.
Can't answer my own question but it seems the feature is just unsupported on the desktop I guess the workaround is use Stage.Resize when debugging desktop. reference: The window represents the native operating system window; the Stage represents the content contained by the window. This property is only valid for content running in AIR on platforms that support the NativeWindow class. On other platforms, this property will be null. In Flash Player (content running in a browser), this property will also be null.

View 1 RepliesI created some button states in flash (swc), and I want to use them in a pure AS3 project. They are movie clips with class of neatButton_on and neatButton_off respectively. I call them like this:[code]I've also used assets, especially for different states of the same item, where I've put everything in one movie clip and then switched frames as needed. Is one way faster than the other? is there a best practice?

View 1 RepliesOn my stage I created a rectangle with a bitmap fill, such that there is exactly one repeat of the bitmap (the default). I then converted the rectangle to a Movieclip symbol, so that I could access it via actionscript. The problem: when I change the height of the rectanble via actionscript, the bitmap stretches to match. What I want is for the bitmap to maintain its repeat, such that if I double the height of the rectangle, I would see two vertical repeats of the bitmap (the way it would happen in html/CSS with background-repeat set to "repeat").
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a pure ActionScript 3 AIR app, which is my first all AS3 AIR app. One thing I'm having a problem with is adding components to the app so I can see them, here is an example of the code I'm running:
public class iPhoneAIRApp_demo1 extends Sprite
{
protected var context:PhoneAppContext;

but when I run this example I don't see anything.
I guess that using Flex has made it easy for me where I can just drag components to the design view and Flex does the back ground work to add the component to the stage.
What is the process for adding visual elements to a pure AS3 project?
What resources (books or website/tutorials) are available, that cover game development using pure Actionscript 3 code? By pure, I mean not using Flash CS4 and its timeline, and not using Flex MXML components. Everything done using only Actionscript code.
In another question, I asked about using certain objects of the Flex SDK for simple games, and the consensus was that I shouldn't use it at all, but only Actionscript for a game. Sounds reasonable, but the books/website tutorials that I have found on the subject of games, all use AS3 in the context of Flash CS4. They assume your objects will be movieclips, with timelines, etc.
I realize that you can learn game programming from books in other languages, and/or ignore the Flash aspect of AS3 books. I guess what I'm looking for, is whatever information is specific to AS3, such as best practices for AS3-only games, how to make architectural/design decisions, etc. If it exists, anyway :)
Im using flash 8, I always used to import graphics rather than to work with original drawing tools of flash, im studding those tools and I have some questions. is there a way to do mathematic in the parameter like I can do in illustrator (I tried but nothing)?is there any way to repeat and duplicate the last transform?

View 1 RepliesI added a music file to the stage, the movie clip is only about 35secs long. The music is like 3mins long. Anyway my problem is that the movie clip stops and music continues playing. And the movie clip and music start playing again while the first music is still playing. And it sounds as if it continuing to do this. How do I stop the music when the movie clips end. Is there some actionscript code that will stop this.

I'm working on a AS3 project that required a lot of UI, since Flex was used for time-saving for this part we ended up having a Flex Project (UI) and pure AS3 one (All BackEnd) or, in other words, two different .swf files.Currently I can successfully comunicate both of them using a common interface and by loading the UI .swf into the AS3 .swf using a Loader class:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CustomUIModule.swf");
The actual code contains listeners for SystemManagerHandler so Flex doesn't complain.Since we are delivering two different files it is not really practical whenever we release a build of the project. For this case the meta tag [Embed] seems to be a better way to achieve this (With no satisfactory results to date).
With the above information (hopefully I made myself clear enough) what would be the best approach to ultimately generate a single swf? Or how should we properly implement the [Embed] tag for Flex swf?
what the easiest way to play movieclips is using pure AS in classes. Basically, I have a MC instance on the stage with 25 frames and simply want to play it once. Using the play() method causes it to play infinitely, and I can't find any other methods which let me choose the frames i want to play between.
