Say I have something like this:
[Embed(source='../lib/images/image01.png')] var Image:Class
But I want to change that images based on another string like so:`
[code]...
But this gives me an error, is there another way to do something like this?
I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
When I stream an MP3 file with an embedded image, the first few seconds of the files are clipped.
I will need to find another server, or a viable workaround.
Each character in my game has a status icon. The image of the icon can be one of a number of images that I embed with the executable. What is the proper structure of such a class? Say the class has the embedded images of a Star, a Square and a Circle, I want the class to display only one of the three shapes at any given moment, but can switch to a different shape as needed.
The class has:
o 10 embedded images
o 1 sprite object
o A public function that allows one of the ten images to be displayed when the sprite object is drawn. inside the class I create an array of 10 images and use addChild for each of them. To display just one, I make the other 9 invisible. What is the proper way of doing this? Should I call keep just one sprite object and call 'new' each time I need to switch the image? is there a way to enumerate the classes so that I can switch by calling something like this:
ActionScript Code:
icon.AttachImage("Star"); // Where "Star" corresponds to the class that holds the embedded image.
I was just wondering what are the pros and cons of using embedded images instead of dynamic loading? Because when making games on pure AS3 (without Flash IDE), its a pain to manually embed all the assets needed... That makes your code sloppy, besides you don't have control to automatically change the hud, for example, by only changing the external file.
But I heard that some sites only let you upload a single swf, so you can't have external images. Also I heard that some are worried about users downloading their art... But as far as I know, they can also download them if they hack the swf with a decompiler. Having it external, you can encrypt the image, and unencrypt it on the code, so if they try to download they will only get encrypted code.
I have an Image component with a source set to an embedded image. When I load this module into a shell module, the image doesn't show up. Why? I have to put an instance of that image into the shell module's codebase just to make it work. That shouldn't be, right?
View 1 RepliesI have a FlexLib Project with a embed class:
package
{
public class EmbedAssets
{
[code]....
And I have another Actionscript Project that use this FlexLib Project and add the Visual class on stage:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class AsTest extends Sprite
[code]....
The image don't show up, just.I had debug the application and found the bitmapData of aa was NULL. But if I implement out of Lib Project, this work!In properties of projects ai tried a lot configurations on Flex Library Build Path -> Classes / Assets. But none work correctly.
I need to protect images embedded in a swf file. I've noticed Swf Encrypt scrambles the images, like so:
How is something like this achieved ? How does image scrambling work ? I've noticed the image is stored a bitmap. Not sure how information is stored.I imagine it would be possible to use something like AS3SWF to access the content of a swf, but what would I need to change for the image swf tags ? I don't know much about security/obfuscation/encryption, so any tips will be handy. The programming language for this shouldn't matter much.
I want to do something like:
Main.mxml
<s:HGroup id="animals">
<s:Button name="dog">Dog Name</s:Button>
<s:Button name="bird">Bird Name</s:Button>
<s:Button name="cat">Cat Name</s:Button>
</s:HGroup>

Do I have to extend the Button component or how should I proceed?
I've been asked to write a standalone slideshow app which supports images (jpg, etc), video (divx, avi) and webpages (embedded html, rss).
I've done some digging and it looks like flash with flash air could be used to produce a standalone app which would run on both windows and Linux.
Before I start this long (and difficult) process, are my assumptions correct?
I have a TextField and I am trying to display embedded images using htmlText:
var test:TextField = new TextField();
test.multiline = true;
test.wordWrap = true;[code]....
In this case the raftImg is in the Assets class. The problem is that the image does not align as it should (it always stays in upper left corner). If I load it using "../ blah/ img.gif" it works properly.
I can view it in my browser by going directly to the file however when it is embedded the photos will not load. The images it loads has to be in the same directory as the .swf file and as i stated it clearly works when going directly to the file but not once it has been embedded.
View 1 RepliesI made a .swf that loads a .xml file from a directory called "xml".That file lists the images that are to be loaded into the .swf.The .swf is embedded into an html file.The issue we are seeing is that if you don't include "www" in the url, the images don't get loaded (??!).But the .swf is running, and all the html and css works.If you use "www" in the url, everything works perfectly.[code]
View 1 RepliesI posted a question similar to this not so long ago however I have trawled through the forums and could not find an answer...I am using Lightwindow which is a version of lightbox that can have ANY form of content and DOES support .swf files.I have linked the test link on my page to activate lightwindow and open the swf file. Light window opens the window to the correct size but does not display any content. If I go directly to the flash file then all the test images load.Here is the code for that link:
<a href="http://www.monsterbox.co.uk/ollie/lightwindow/gallery/gallery.swf" class="lightwindow" params="lightwindow_width=800,lightwindow_height=345" >Link Name</a>
I understand that something along the lines of

when the embedFonts is removed, it works perfectly as expect. Otherwise when an image is clicked, it selects the whole text around it.
testtext.htmlText="Curabitur dolor eros<a href='event:test'><img src='003.jpg'></a>eget odio.</p>";
testtext.embedFonts=true;
did anyone come across this before? is there another way to make an image clickable inside a dynamically loaded xml text?Alternatively can anyone suggest a method to style dynamic textfields instead of using html?I've tried with many different fonts, and many different stylesheets, its still the same.
I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

I'm trying to solve an Actionscript problem using E4X.I have an XML like this one:
<root>
<person firstname="john" lastname="doe" age="21" />
<person firstname="jayne" lastname="doe" age="35" />[code]....
I want to have just one function search() that takes three parameters (firstname, lastname, age) and return an XMLList. So the result could look like this:
var result:XMLList = xml..person.(@firstname == firstName && @lastname == lastName && @age == age );
But I don't want to use all three parameters all the time. I would like to have a function that uses a 'wilcard' if the parameter is NULL. So if the wildcard would be "*" the function could look like:
searchPerson( firstName:String ="*", lastName:String = "*" , age:String = "*") {...}
so that I would only pass 'John' for the firstName I'd get the first and the third node in return.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a typing game that focuses on developing typing speed and accuracy. In part of this game, the user has to type a given word in a certain amount of time. If the user types the whole word within the time limit, the timer stops and it results in 100% accuracy for that word. However, if the user does not type the word within the time limit, I want to compare the typed word to the given word and find out how many errors they made.
I found this to be a lot more complicated that I had expected it to be. Fore example, if a letter was accidentally skipped or an extra letter was added, it will make all following characters seem wrong, even though the user only made one mistake.
How do I go about comparing the two strings?
