I have flash cs4 and when I am typing code in the editor. It appears that the more code I add to my .as document, the more sluggish it gets. When typing, it appears to be a delay for when my text actually appears on screen. does anyone know what this could be.
View 4 Repliesi have a problem with the flash textFormat. I want to write an editor, which only outputs bold (<b>) and italic (<i>) tags and not the other information flash adds to an htmlText.
for example in this case the output trace (myTextField.htmlText) should be exactly the input.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
myTextField.htmlText = "huhuh <b>asjdja</b> asdasd";
trace (myTextField.htmlText);
is there a cleaner solution than replace the other information (font-size etc)

View 1 RepliesIn Flash Builder, for objects, properties, variables and such where your cursor is on it, the editor highlights all instances of that name in the code with a grey box. This can be very distracting and I was wondering if there was a way to turn it off or if there is a hot key to disable it.Another things that is very distracting are the mouse hover popups, although apparently there's no way to disable those :

View 3 RepliesIm making a transition from Java to Flash/Actionscript and Im having sort of a hard time figuring out where to write my code for my flash game loop(or engine) due to flash having "frames" unlike Java.Am I able to put the loop inside the Document class even having like game menus in the game? I havent found a way to put it in there without it always running when the flash application begins.Or should I just have the game loop called every frame? For instance, frame 4 will be level 1 and so the engine will be called out there. And frame 5 will be level 2 and ill call a different instance of the game engine there.Im just having a difficult time due to the "frames". So where would be the best place to put the game loop?

View 1 Repliesdo you know any browser-side component, in HTML/Javascript, Flash, Applet or Silverlight, that would allow source code edition with syntax highlighting and auto-completion.
CodeMirror has a good syntax highlighting support but does not seem to support auto-completion.If no such editor exists do you know any way to implement auto-completion using HTML and javascript or any other browser-side technology ?
I was just wondering if there is a code program/editor for actionscript where you can select/highlight a section of code and then be able to use the search/replace function to find a word in that piece of code you've just highlighted, instead of going through the whole document.

I was wondering so long that how can people analyze the trait of each file extension (of course open it in notepad is not readable) For example, I want to write a program that can read everything from .fla file like timeline, movie clips, position of each MCs or all the motion tween values. And get the image embeded in it. (I'm planning to use flash as IDE for another project.)
(The reason that I tried to read proprietary format is I want to utilize their awesome editor. What I actually want to do is, I want to make an iOS game with cocos2d. There is a code to move things around in cocos2d but there is no decent editor. So I'd like to use Flash as an editor, then convert the motion to objective-C cocos2D code by reading the .fla file.)
I have 16 tweens happening at the same time which I've done using actionscript. Its basically the same thing happening 16 times with slight changes to coordinates and mc names in each tween.
Is there a way of creating an array with a list of mc names which can just be dropped in to a template? Below in my code:
