View 2 RepliesI'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

View 5 RepliesI am building a new website, which you can see at [URL] The first bit I want to add is an area where business owners can list their business' information, such as the address or contact information. They should also be able to login later to change the information. I assume this will need some sort of database, but don't know where to begin looking.
Second, I wish to add a map that highlights the locations of these businesses.
I am having trouble profiling my application using Flash Builder 4 with any version of Flash Player above 10.0 (approximately, I can't remember exactly). To get round this I installed an older version of Flash player for IE and pointed the profiler to this when profiling.Now I want to use 10.3 so this is a problem! The alert box I receive is:
"Unable to connect to the application to fetch profile data.
It turns out I needed to state a full path to the ProfilerAgent.swf in my workspace in the mm.cfg in my home directory. For example:
PreloadSwf=C:UsersChrisDesktopWorking folderWorkspace.metadata.pluginscom.adobe.flash.profilerProfilerAgent.swf?debug=true
I have a PHP script that returns to me my (and my friends) profile pictures, using the following: [URL] where $ID is the ID retrieved using the PHP API. I then use the following for loading the images in my app:
[Code]...
I've verified repeatedly that the ID being sent back from the PHP is in-fact my ID, and I've copy/pasted the address traced BEFORE the loading function into a browser and I get my correct profile picture, but somewhere in there it's bugging out for my ID in the load and only my ID in the load (I should rephrase it to say it bugs out for WHATEVER user is logged in to Facebook, not just me).

View 2 RepliesSo I'm dealing with a 15" Glossy Aluminum MacBook Pro and a 24" Dell (2408WFP) Display. The Dell monitor was configured with a color profile to make it -display- colors more realistically. The problem is with the Eye Dropper. It is essentially useless on all but the primary display.
If I take a circle and place the Flash window such that the circle exists halfway between the two monitors (some on the Dell, some on the laptop) and use the Eye Dropper, it gives me two different colors for the SAME FILL. On the primary monitor, it gives me the color I have the fill set to (DD0000), on the Dell, I get another color. Flash still seems to know that the fill is supposed to be DD0000 because using find/replace color, I cannot get Flash to find the color that the eye dropper reports on the Dell display.
I am developing a facebook application which sits in an application tab.The app is developed in flash and as such must use fb:swf to embed the swf.Therefore it sets allowScriptAccess = never on the swf.There are 3 things that I will need to do, and I am not sure if it will be possible.1) Load external SWF files into the parent swf2) Load dynamic XML from the server3) Upload files to the serverI am using flash 10.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load profile images (friend images) from Facebook with AS3 but I seem to be running into a security issue.I'm currently using the "official" Adobe Facebook API for Actionscript 3 which works fine. However, I seem to be having trouble loading profile images when running my application in a browser. The images load fine when running in the Flash IDE.The images are being loaded from URL... and there seems to be a crossdomain.xml policy on that domain:[code]
I just noticed that when I visit one of the images in a browser that I'm actually redirected to Facebook's CDN where the actual image is stored. When I hard-code the image url with the redirected URL I can load the image in the browser. It seems that this is not a security issue after all but a redirection issue.If this is a redirection issue then the question would become; How can I have Flash Player load an image from a redirected URL?It seems that the URLRequest class has a followRedirects property which is only available in AIR.I'm currently using a PHP script to get me the redirected URL as a work around but this of course is far from ideal and potentially a big strain on my server.
i'm developing an application for both desktop and mobile devices and would like to use the same code base for each build.
i want to employ cacheAsBitmapMatrix on some of my display objects, but cacheAsBitmapMatrix throws an error if it's included in an AIR application with a device profile other than mobileDevice or extendedMobileDevice.
something like the following would be ideal:
if (cacheAsBitmapMatrix.isSupported)
myDisplayObject.cacheAsBitmapMatrix = new Matrix();

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash to create a simple profile on a recording artist for work. I'm trying to embed a minute-long .mov file into Flash, so when someone clicks the "watch" button I created, it changes frames and plays this .mov file. I have everything uploaded, but the .mov file only shows up on certain computers when someone actually clicks the "watch" button. It works on my Mac, a friend's Mac, but on the three PCs I've tested, it won't show up. The Flash file itself works, but the .mov file won't show up on the frame when it is accessed.The flash file containing the .mov is embedding onto a .php page made in Dreamweaver. On all computers, when the .swf is accessed directly, the .mov file will work properly. On the PCs, when the .php page is accessed and the Flash loads, the .mov will not load.URL...
View 1 RepliesI'm bringing in production art into Flash, and it's shifting getting lighter. I've read all about the issue, how it's
photoshop's color profiles, etc. Problem is, converting the images to working RGB isn't helping. I've tried converting them (originally they were in Adobe 1998 RGB) , creating a new document with the correct profile, but nothing works. I'm saving them out as PNG files. They look great in a browser even. Just washed out in Flash. Anything else I can try?
I'm building a Flex application with Maven and the Flex Mojos plugin. I now want to compile an alternative version of the application with some extra libraries to enable automated functional testing. For this I need to change 2 things in the pom: extra dependencies extra configuration of the Flex Mojos plugin in the build section I created a profile in the pom targetted at building the alternative version and added the extra dependencies. I'm wondering however how I can specify the extra configuration of the Flex Mojos plugin in the build section. Should I just redefine (copy and modify) the complete plugin configuration from the build section into my profile,
View 1 RepliesCouldn`t find any ActionScript native APIs even in the beta documentation, am I right supposing that this means the only way to measure CPU / memory consumption is by cooking up a custom native solution, hooking it up with AIR and making it work on each targeted platform?
Basically the aim is to be able to have this information available inside AIR and not having to use an external application for profiling, not even Flex / Flash builder.Seems for the CPU load the only solution will be some command line scraping using NativeProcess.
Someone have already done this? I have a solution in mind, but I don't tried yet. Before trying i'm wanna know if it's possible.
My solution is just posting a wall into an html page and getting the source of page in Flash and parsing it.
I'm having trouble passing the url for a users facebook profile picture to a Loader() variable. I'm using a PHP file to get around the security and from the debug I made, it shows that I'm getting the URL fine, but the Loader runs the error event listener.

<?php
$path=$_GET['path'];

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a video header that will cycle through 4 12 sec videos. The idea is if the connection speed is too slow to show alternate content (JPGs). Based on previous code I've used with LoaderMax think I have it figured out. I think the normal bandwidth profiler in flash ignores FLVs and just shows them as loaded ASAP. Is there another tool out there for this that accurately works when loading external FLVs?

View 1 RepliesI've just upgraded to Flash CS5 and am working on converting some RIAs for iOS. I've just about got it, except that I'm not quite understanding what the required "provisioning profile" is, where to get it, or how to create it. In the CS5 iPhone Settings, this field is blank (no file is designated). I've already read thru many on-line tutorials on the Flash-to-iOS processes (Adobe blogs, Adobe dev articles, 3rd-party blogs, YouTube videos, etc etc), and I have yet to find an adequate answer to this. Seems rather vague.
View 1 RepliesIn the cosmicpanda update for youtube, you can go from a video page to the video creators profile page while your video is still playing in flash. Does anyone how Youtube accomplishes this? I would like to know if it's possible to keep the flash state of a site constant while moving from page to page on a site.It doesn't seem as if the flash is reloading, so I don't think that they are just saving cookies for the current video time and starting the video at that point when they refresh.I would assume that they're using ajax, but the application of this feature is really clean. The URL gets correctly changed to the users' profile page's URL. The back button still works as it should. (I can press back and forward between video page and user profile page and the video continues going clean and never drops.)
