I compile a SWF with ANT using FDT. In the compiler arguments I am setting default-frame-rate to 30. When I run the SWF, the stage.framerate property is 30 (which is correct), but as the Stats util from mrdoob shows, the SWF runs way faster up to 52 fps.So it seems the compiler argument default-frame-rate is applied, still the events are fired at a higher rate.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to write a compiler argument for FDT to force the inclusion of one of my SWCs. It looks kind of like this (App name changed, but the real one also contains mixed case and a space): -include-libraries "C:WorkspacesMy Applibssite.swc" Problem is that the compiler claims it is unable to open this file. Is there a problem maybe with using a full path like this? Ideally I would prefer to use a token to represent the project folder, something like -include-libraries "${project}/libs/site.swc", but I don't seem able to find a token list in the docs.
View 1 RepliesI've got external folder with resources (graphics, movies, etc) which is shared between a couple of projects. I'm able to link this resource folder in FlashBuilder (as described in [URL]). After that all the paths to embeds are relative to the project, and that's the behaviour I want.
This linked resource appears in .project file as follows:
<linkedResources><link>
<name>resources</name>
<type>2</type>
<locationURI>DOCUMENTS/Shared/resources</locationURI>
</link></linkedResources>
Note, that it isn't source folder and it is not included in compilerSourcePath tag. The question is how can I specify resource linked folder in mxmlc command line arguments? -source-path is not working here, relative pathes to embeds can not be resolved.

View 2 RepliesIts stated in adobe site that the Flash Builder 4 compiler is indeed 25% more performing than the previous Flex Builder 3 compiler.
How can I confirm that?
For example if I make a simple application on Fx3 and the same on Fx4, then how would I compare the compiler performance using my project?

I'm working on a project conversion from AS2 to AS3.
In AS2, I used a mainMenu file and loaded a Navigation file at _level 999 (very top). Then I loaded and unloaded different modules on _level 5.I also loaded and unloaded an external Glossary file on _level 95.Now in AS3 I am using AddChildAt(1) for the Naviation file and AddChildAt(.1) and removeChildAt(.1) for the module files. The Glossary file only seems to work at Child Index 1, so I'm guessing it pushes the Navigation file to a higher index. Is there a reference that explains the Index properties of the Child and why sometimes I get an error when I try to add a Child of Index 2 or higher?
I have a movieclip with a prefilled content (some simple vector graphic in a movieclip), with the height of 40. I then apply a mask to it, with the height of 30. Now i would think that the MovieClip is 30 pixel high, but it turns out to be 40 pixel high. Is there some property im not setting or does the movieclip always assume the height of ALL the content within it? or what?
Actually in another clip, too, I have predefined 2 vector graphics (in two seperate movieclips), where the highest one is applied as a mask to the second graphic. The movieclip again assumes the height of the highest element. That might be logical, as it is the mask, BUT! when i then resize my mask (programatically) the height of the movieclip remains the same.Is there some way to recalculate the height of a movie clip? Or am I missing something?
I would like the volumen to be higher than 0 when the swf is loaded, so that music can be heard without the need of dragging the volume...I've tried to set the dragger in the middle of the slider but still the actual sound is 0 at start.

If I have 2 movieclips, how can I know through actionscript which one is at a higher level?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a script that listens to a variable (int or Number) and then does certain functions whether the variable is going higher or lower. So for example if the number gets higher, it runs one function. If it gets lower, it runs another.
View 3 Repliesyou know any reason why a function won't accept any number higher than 4? This is all I'm doing. Works for 0-4, but once I hit 5 or higher, I get "A term is undefined and has no properties." But if I just put the number 5 in there, it all works just fine, so it's not an issue with the xml.. for some reason the function just won't accept anything higher than 4. weirding me out..... I can't see an explanation for it.

In Flex, I am using graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder to save image files that are edited inside application (normal manipulations like brightness etc.) I am able to save files perfectly. What I want to know is that is there any way I can save the image with a better dpi? Say, for instance the image that is loaded and manipulated was originally of 72dpi, now can I save it with a dpi of 150 or 300 ? If so, how to do it.
Doesn't have to be using the JPEGEncoder, if there's any way to do it at all, like using any library etc, I am okay with it.
Note: If it matters, I am using Bitmapdata to store the image and manipulations and saving the image with JPEGEncoder by supplying it's data as bytearray like below.
var imageBytes:ByteArray = encoder.encode(myBitmapData);
Is there anyway of using AS to check if a number is either higher than a certain value, or closer to a certain value. The purpose, if the number in the text box is either higher than the other text box, or closer to say, 500, than the other one, then, it displays something in a dynamic text box.

I'm designing a site at the moment & I've run into a minor snag. I am loading about five external swf's, for each page of the site, from the main 'home' page. you can view it here Trouble with levels. I can load the movies fine, but what I want is to load each new movie into a higher level than the last, as each movie appears with a mask (for an example have a look at the site I've done then click on the 'Contact Us' button - that is what I want to do on all of the pages...) all of the swf's are loaded into level one with the exception of the 'Contact Us' page. (By the way, there is no 'News' page yet)
The very simple code I used to load the movies is:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 2);
}
Am just a begineer with Actionscript but am picking up quite quickly. I been racking my brains and can't seem to find a solution. Basiaclly I've got 5 movieclips on the stage which are draggable. How can i get a message to appear in a text box if the first movieclip is moved higher than the second movie clip?
View 4 RepliesI've just switched over to AS3, and I'm completely stumped with something.
I'm working on a project where I keep adding children to a MC already on the screen. There are two types of these children: Sprites that I use to draw lines using moveTo, lineTo, ect. Then there's sprites that have children inside of THEM that are bitmaps.
For some strange reason, the Sprites with the bitmaps on them always have a higher depth/index (AS3 terminology is still weird for me) than the normal Sprites.
Here's a diagram of my MC/children/children layers:
---------------=> (Sprites that draw lines)
(MC on Stage) =>
---------------=> (Sprites that hold bitmaps) => (Bitmap)

View 1 RepliesI've got a button that, when clicked, needs to play a frame. Normally I'd just use the gotoAndPlay feature, but the frame I want to play is on a higher level than the button. That is to say that the button is inside of a few movie clips but the frame I want to point to is just in the main scene, not inside of movie clips
View 1 RepliesIs there anything else besides high cpu usage that would cause the framerate of a swf to lag?I'm working on a game that is set to 60fps so the animations are super smooth, and I am on good, fast computer so even with tons of animations going my cpu usage never goes above 14% usage, and only about 1% of the systems memory is used.
View 4 RepliesIn flash, I use lineTo to draw a line between two points. This is working well, but I'm finding that on slower computers, the line is jagged because not as many mouse events are firing.I want to 'smooth' the line out, to add more points in between each point that the mouse registers:
The black lines show the result, the green ones are what I want. The red dots are actual points, and the green ones are interpolated.I have tried to code this myself but I can't seem to get it right, here is the code anyway:
var interX:Number = lastMouseX+(lastMouseSpeed.x/2);
var interY:Number = lastMouseY+(lastMouseSpeed.y/2);
//Also tried: lastMouseX+(this.mouseX-lastMouseX)/2;
// also jittery

the result is much more jagged than the normal one.
I wrote this 9ball game a while back (never really finished it), and was showing it to a friend today. When a pool ball is rolling fast, less of it's mass should be touching the felt, therefore, less friction. As it slows down, there should be more contact with the felt, and therefore, more friction. Any realistic algorithm to use to adjust the friction higher as the balls slow down? [URL]
View 11 RepliesI'm sort of re-discovering Flash. As such, I'm a bit rusty with all the ActionScript and general techniques. I have a site that loads swfs on higher levels with loadMovieNum (i.e., a pop-up photo gallery). The only problem lies in lower level buttons still remaining active; apart from the aesthetic issue, I don't want the user to be able to "accidentally" click something on level0. Is there a general method for keeping the "focus" on the highest level, or making any interactive elements below inactive?
View 4 Replieshow to set the FrameRate (fps) using action script?
View 2 Repliesi am making a flex air application and when its deactivated (lost focus), its framerate becomes to 1fps.i am using psudo-threading encoder that uses enterframe to keep it working the app requires long time converting process more than hours and i need the program to do the same thing while sitting back in the background how to disable deactivation in air application as soon as the focus is out, it becomes 1 fps instead of 24 fps which i need.
i know i can use timerevent rather than enterframe event but my app needs alot of calculation and i figured that in flash, the frame extends its time if the calculation isnt finished. if it gets too long in one frame, the ui hangs up.if i use enterframe, on slow comps it would extend its time to complete the calculations when all the calculations didnt get to finish in time in 1 frame.but im afraid if i use timer event, instead of waiting for the codees to be excuted it would excute the next timer event, i didnt try it though.i created the app that when you add the xml songbook data, it would load up the data sort it and create pages with the graphics and skins set up and when you save, it saves the pages to jpg files using the encoder i created.and the encoder uses enterframe.its working fine but when i deactivate the window while encoding, it becomes extremely slow since it becomes 1fps.
