Actionscript 3 :: Source From External Folder (linked Source) Not Appearing In Flex?
Aug 26, 2010
i have a Air Project in which i have added three extenal source folders. but when i reopen project or strat flash builder again i get icon on those folder like this but when i open the configuration for that project and try to validate the path and adding it again i get message like this but the path is valid. proof is this pic what could be possible error,,, is there any way that i when ever re-open project i get no warning and able to navigate through the linked source code. now i am doing it
So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

Why does FlexBuilder insist on a main class in the root of the source folder? By insist I mean that if I create an Actionscript project called MainTest. A file called MainTest.as will be placed in the root of the src folder. if I now create a package/folder called some/package and place the MainTest.as in it (and adjust the package statement accordingly), I cannot select the project to use this as the application class in Properties/Actionscript Applications as the package is empty as far as Flexbulider is concerned.
So there is a restriction that a main/application class cannot have a package other than the root package. The mxmlc compiler and FDT do not enforce this restriction so why does Flex Builder?
How do you define a relative link to the source of a linked library in Flash Builder (4). I have a swc folder defined for a project. I want to link one of the contained swcs to it's associated source. This works fine except that the path stored in the .actionScriptProperties file is absolute. Here you can see the linked lib:
What would be the differenceif instead of ,=> specifying a bunch of code, present at a separate location of my hard-disk as RSL ( runtime shared library),=> I specify it just as another source folder
I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff used across all projects. The first item in there is a screen with a number of clips containing dynamic text fields on them. This screen (and associated assets) are exported to a SWC and then I have written code in the shared project to add functionality to the screen and buttons. I'm using 2 fonts, both are embedded.
Both show up just fine in my test harness, but when I link the shared SWC and src folder (which is required in order to use this code/assets in the other projects) the textfields blank out if I try to set their text properties. If I leave the default text (set in the FLA) it shows up, and the static text fields in the FLA also show up, it's only when I set the text property.
I've tried a number of combinations, including removing embedding, exporting for ActionScript, setting all textfields in the shared project to dynamic, all with no luck. The main project does have the same font embedded, and I've checked that the same glyphs are selected in both the main and shared projects. I realize this is a rather complicated setup, but I have yet to find a workflow to allow a designer and developer to work on large projects that is better (but I'd love to hear one!)
I have the source folder from a friend's Android app and I am going to do all of the design for the app. If I could import the folder that he gave me from Eclipse, it would be easier to create a nice UI for the app.
Is this possible? If not, can I load the XML files into Flash Builder to make the UI? EDIT: To clarify, I have a project file that I can open in Eclipse. I want to edit the appearance of the project using Flash Builder without interfering with the application's functionality.
Is there a external-source-path option available in Flex compiler similar to external-library-path? My requirement is that, I am building a "SWC" file but I don't want to include certain folders inside my 'src' folder as these are anyway available in my other application during run time. (Trying to be resource constraint). So, I want to use these folders during compilation but do not want to include them in the generated "SWC" file.
I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime. If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?
Allow me to briefly sketch the situation i'm in; On my stage i've got a collection of movieclips, each has an unique name. These MC's represent regions of a country on a map.
The most basic task i'd like to achieve is when the user mouse-overs one of these regions, it displays some relative info on the region (Name, size, population etc)
I was thinking about storing this info externally from the fla/swf itself. When the swf lauches it would retrieve the corresponding info for each region.
Having this data outside the swf would make editing and upkeeping it more easy.
I'm leaning towards looking into an XML-file to do this ? (SQL sounds neat but i have no expirience with it)
The Swf would be hosted on a site, but i see it evolve as an AIR-app in the future.
Im making a component for a companies wesite, it is simple enough they want a list of phrases to be displayed one at a time in random order... not a problem. Its just that they want to be able to update the phrases themselves = external txt file to populate the array. I dont work with arrays often enough so I was wondering if someone could tell me the way to populate an array using values in an external txt file.

How to load variables from an external source? For example, Lets say I have a movieclip that contains 6 keyframes, and I want flash to load the proper keyframe when the main swf is opened. Flash knows what the proper keyframe is, because that variable is stored in a MySQL database, or txt file, or xml file, or whatever. Also, how could i have flash write to an external file, so that i can save the changes.
Using Flash CS4 professional And Action-script 3.0 I am currently working on an mp3 player in flash.I have my main fla file in my root folder.Also in my root folder is a folder names 'source_files'Inside the 'source_files' folder there is.A folder named 'songs' (which holds several mp3 files) and a text file named track_list.txt The text in track_list.txt is set out as follows (example values used).
//song1 //song2 Where '//' represents the start of the name of each song.
From within the project I have a code that loads track_list.txt and uses the split function to split the loaded data into an array before adding 'source_files/songs' to the beginning of each index of the array.
I created a Jing video to describe my problem. In short, I'm not sure how external AS3 scripts are supposed to referenced, though I did get it to work in AS2 years ago.
I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
i am having a problem when reading text form an external txt file into a textbox, the problem is that when i test/ debug my movie on my local computer the text displays from the file but after i have uploaded to my server and try and view it via the internet no text appears
Code: var urlhome:String = "homeText.txt"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.
I have a very Simple Flash Player built in AS2. FlashCS3 I want it to load one external movie from root folder. BUT! i don't want to load a specific file name. I need the player to load whatever the file names. for example: if my file name is: Video.swf i want the player load it. and if i change the file name to video2007.swf it will still be able to load it.
I have a question about setting up an image array from an external source. I have the following action script and would like to edit it so that it reads from an external file. Either TXT or XML. how to edit the array action.
I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on... [URL] (right below the word welcome) I don't want to use the dull custom built in version MX provides cause lets face it, its ugly! and I'd like it to be linked to an external text document. I see this all over the place, so I'm pretty sure this is possible! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I'm guessing a few other people may be interested too!
Possible to load an array from a external data source. I.e. like from a .txt file? I tried putting this in the external text file: mytest = new Array("dadada") It loaded, but not as a array, just as text. I am using LoadVars.
how to layer photos imported via an external source (XML) with other art elements? The imported XML photos always seem to arrive on top of anything else no matter what layer your XML code keyframe is on.
how to create a Flash website, that loads data from an external source(CMS), that can be indexed by Google? Indexed by Google looking at the SWF and not shadow HTML pages. Or exactly why such a site cannot be indexed by Google. I have found several articles; however, none get into technical details or are by Adobe.
