I'm trying to make a button draggable and also throw it across the screen. I know that I have to use the mouseDown and mouseUp options for the button, but could someone explain a method for allowing me to drag it and then throw it? In other words, it should keep going after mouseUp.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a map in flash and I would like to have a smooth movement similar to this:[URL]..i have made a start but I'm having trouble taking it to the next stage.
My code currently throws the movieclip after the mouse is release but there is no easing while the mouse button is down.

I have developed an site in flash doesnt throw any error in Flash IDE debug mode, But when I launch this in web browser it throws error.
Disadvantage of showing error in browser window is that it wont show the line number of the error. Is there any otherway to get the line number of error, when running in the browser.
I get a Flex 3 sandbox error #2048 after connecting to a Socket on a Java (1.5) server. The server code is all mine, i.e. not running under Apache. Flash Player 10.0 r32.The sequence is as follows...
1 Java server starts, listens on port 843 for policy file request and on port 45455 for my other requests.
2 Flex client served by Apache (although I get the same result if I run it from the file system), socket connection made on host:45455.
3 Flash Player requests policy file from port 843. This is the standard behaviour with the new security settings looking for a master file. It happens regardless of whether a different policy file has been specified.
4 I serve the following XML from Java through port 843:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
5 The player writes the following into the debug policy log...
OK: Root-level SWF loaded: http://localhost/bst/BasicSocketTest.swf
OK: Searching for <allow-access-from> in policy files to authorize data loading from resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.3:45455 by requestor from http://localhost/bst/BasicSocketTest.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: xmlsocket://192.168.2.3:843
OK: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.3:45455 by requestor from http://localhost/bst/BasicSocketTest.swf is permitted due to policy file at xmlsocket://192.168.2.3:843
6 I send a text message from the client to the server on port 45455 using writeUTFBytes() and flush() (this is my own home-baked message protocol, and is correctly processed at each end)
REG/REGISTER;simon;Si
7 Java server thread listening on port 45455 responds with
REG:0/REGISTER:SUCCESS;simon;Si
8 The Flex client receives a ProgressEvent and the event listener I bound to the socket gets called. I process the message (write it to a text box on the screen)
9 The Flash player throws a 2048 sandbox error and the socket is disconnected! This is after the message is received and processed successfully. In fact it is about 12 seconds after. Nothing else works through the socket.
I have tried explicitly loading a policy file with a call to Security.loadPolicyFile() in the Flex client, but the reality of the new player security is that it is basically ignored. The steps are that the policy request will not get sent until a socket i/o operation occurs. At that point the player always goes to port 843 first looking for a master policy file. If it finds one, and it is permissive, it goes no further.
I have tried a variety of alternative ways of terminating the policy file and policy file contents, including deliberate errors just to see if the Flash Player is awake.I can see no reason why I would have a 2048 being thrown. I accurately serve a socket policy file on the designated master security port, which the player itself logs as correct. The socket then successfully sends and receives a message from the server the contents of which are available to my code.
P.S. Please don't tell me to use BlazeDS or LCDS or Granite, or something else as a server, I'm looking for a solution to this problem, not a redesign. And please don't ask me to use an XMLSocket instead - I tried that and get exactly the same result. I have chosen my architecture carefully and deliberately and I want a binary socket.
EDIT :In response to James Ward's request in his comment, here is the entire error message:
Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://localhost/bst/BasicSocketTest.swf cannot load data from 192.168.2.3:45455.
I have a stripped down test client which has a handler for each socket event and outputs a message to the screen. This is what it shows:
RequestPolicy: 192.168.2.3:843
Create Socket: 192.168.2.3:45455
Connect: [Event type="connect" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
Sending: REG/REGISTER;simon.palmer@gmail.com;Si
Receiving: REG:0/REGISTER:SUCCESS;simon.palmer@gmail.com;Si/
Close: [Event type="close" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://localhost/bst/BasicSocketTest.swf cannot load data from 192.168.2.3:45455.
The close event is fired immediately after successfully receiving a response from the server, however the Error #2048 does not appear until about 20 seconds later. If I try and send a further message after close, but before the error, the Flash Player throws an invalid socket exception.
I'm calling remote images with with a Loader and the context has checkPolicyFile=true, images load fine with urls like :url....the only difference being escaped characters, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?url...

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a flex application and I want to access a component by using it's id.
I know I must use .property of the component. The problem is I have the component Id in a String var and now I don't know how to access to it's properties.
I'm learning AS3 and I'm trying to build a little interaction where I can throw a square off the stage. It just need to stay on the x-axis, to be thrown either to the left or right.I found quite a few tutorials where it involves physics. I don't need anything as complicated as that. With mine, as long as you click down on the square and throw it a bit, doesn'tmatter how hard that throwing action is, the square will always be thrown off the stage, depending on the direction of your mouse.I kind of have the idea in my head that the "throw" feel can be done with tween in a movieclip (since it only need to go to either left or right), which will be activated depending on the direction of the mouse.

this will throw a runtime error if you don't override the init function in an extending class. (look below)

I'm stuck trying to achieve something in AS2. The principle is easy: the user can drag/throw a timeline (with thumbnails) around, but I want it to snap to certain positions. I've created an example to show what I need ,You can already drag/throw the timeline around, but, as it slows down, I want it to always snap into a position where one of the purple rectangles snaps to the grey area so a thumbnail is always covering the grey area.
So when you throw the timeline hard enough, it would fly quite far (speed of timeline > attraction force of the snapping points), but as it slows down, the snapping force takes over and the timeline snaps in place.
(How) is it possible to catch an error thrown in a callback function like onConnect of the XMLSocket object?
Code:
var s:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();

throw new Error("Unable to connect");
trace("Won't trace, error thrown"); }
s.connect("127.0.0.1",1024); }

i am currently trying to learn ZendAMF, but i have a hard time troubleshooting which makes learning it quite hard. Is there a way to make the PHP file throw an exception that gets traced as an error message in AS3 (not Flex), the only error i seem to be able to get is "Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed", but it tells me jack ****.
i have gotten ZendAMF working, i just want to know how i can make error handling better, so that as an example can use PHP to tell flash that no results were found, or that the typed text was invalid. Is it better to use AS3 to check if the field was filled properly?
