Is it possible to implement swapping routine in ActionScript 3.0 similar to C++ std::swap?I mean something like

It doesn't work "as is" for integers because they're passed by value, not ref into the Swap routine.
Does anyone know of a simple way to implement a DividedBox layout similar to flex, but done through Flash/as3 ?
I would think there would be a library out there for that already, or some resources, but I'm having a hard time googling for it, as it;s either Flex or unrelated content I keep finding.
EDIT just came across yahoo's astra library (example)
I want to implement similar animations and/or transitions into the iOS iBooks application.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a Flex application for use on a private intranet with no external Internet access. I want to use Google's 3D Maps Flex API, but it must be connected to the internet to download map tiles on demand.
Is there a way to locally cache the 3D map tiles and data so that I can run this app without an internet connection? And if not, is there a 3D GIS that supports Flex integration and allows for a local map cache?
I have a pretty simple script that allows you to draw multiple rectangles using the drawing API in MX. I need to create multiple MC containers, so that I can later do other functions to these areas.Now, what I can't figure for the life of me is why the rectangles are drawing in the way they are. If you copy this script into a blank file and run it, you'll see what I mean. Why is it duplicating/replicating/echoing as you draw? If you debug and list Objects, it is creating the MCs properly, so where are these other lines coming from? I'm sure this is something simple to fix, that there is some recursion going on, but I can't troubleshoot it.
Code:
drawLevel = 0;
drawOK = "yes";
this.onMouseDown = function() {

Worked on a project for 8 hours. I should have saved it, but the abobe stuff seemed to be bullet proof. I pressed the up arrow and poof gone.
Why is there not some sort of auto save for when it crashes? such a simple task you completely forgot. I guess now I have to save non stop to use your product. I don't want to sit there and mash that crap all day long. Another thing why does cutting and pasting frames from another file always put it in random spot? then when you go to move it, you have one messed up animation. When you click on a layer, you see the motion in the little colored line, and then the actual pic. When you select more then 1 layer it only picks one of the dotted lines, but it proceeds to copy incorectly.
BTW why restrict underscores in screen names? WHY? I can't come up with any good reason.
Is it possible to access Hardware service routine using flash?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an image gallery project that uses 45 jpgs that need to be displayed all at about the same time (like a splash of photos).Everything works except for inconsistent display of the loaded images (it works consistently on localhost but not on the remote server).All of the images successfully preload into the cache, but when the routine that displays them starts, it sometimes fails to complete.I haven't been able to find anything unusual in the display code that would account for the failure.So I thought I would try to add a work-around (maybe a Timer) that would repeatedly run the display routine until it completed successfully (sounds sloppy and hokey, but I'm at my wits end and way behind schedule).
View 2 Repliesi have a swf with several processor intensive subroutines within a main init() routine at start up (about a 5 secs startup wait). it needs a preloader not due to asset loads but to the processor intensive routines.i'm trying to create a preloader that will display progress as the routines complete but when i try to write text to text field as each subroutine completes either the textField.text is not updated or the text field display is not updated after each subroutine finishes.this prevents me from tracking the progress of the start up.
is there a way to force an update to the display list in the middle of a processor intensive routine? i believe flash is supposed to update after each frame but i'm not seeing this.also, the text field i'm displaying *before* this processor intensive routine *does* display when running locally but *does not* display before the routine when running online.not sure why.

View 3 RepliesI've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get this script running. It's to make a menu consisting of 5 buttons next to each other. When one of the buttons is clicked, it swaps position and color with the most left of the sequence. The gap created by the transition is either filled with a simple swap, or having all the buttons left of the gap slide to the right.So I figured I'd arrange all the buttons in an array. Here's my script

I am currently working on a project of a commercial flash box thing for their website.I have a thing where I need a bunch of images to wipe in this certain way.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to have a movie clip randomly replaced every time the page is refreshed. I have 4 clips that I want to have appear in the overall movie, but swapped in and out randomly. Also, I want these clips to play once, then stop, but continue to show the last frame of the clip for the remainder of the time that the main movie is playing. I must be placing the stop() in the wrong place or something. I tried placing one inside the original movie clip before I published it, it works on it's own, but not when I place it in the timeline of the other movie. No matter where I put that stop command, it doesn't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to swap movieclips in and out of an area, rather than loading an endless number via attach/getNextHighestDepth. Is there a way to swap my attached movieclip A with a new attached movieclip B, so that either clip A or Clip B is loaded, but not both? Because my current program uses attached files of identical size that overlap, I didn't realize there was a problem until things slowed down. I checked my number of objects in the debug list between hitTests and lo and behold, the list of objects got longer each time, even though to the viewer, it looked the same.
View 4 RepliesI upgraded recently to Adobe CS5 from MM Flash 8 so that I could recover some newer Flash components that were developed in a newer version. This all seemed to go with out any issue. However, once in CS5, I noticed twice that an images switched to another image in the library. So I had two copies of the image and one image that went missing. I solved this by just updating the image that was corrupted.
I was on a crunch for this project and was working 16hr days, so I just left my computer on over night with CS5 open. I published the presentation and sent it for approval. Once everything was approved closed CS5.
When I reopened it many, (around 30ish) of my images have been corrupted the same way. I went back to my previous backups and the last 8hrs worth also have the corruption.
Is this something I can easily and permanently fix in this demo or as long as I use it will it keep on screwing up?Is this issue only with images or is my action script also likely to be corrupted?
I simply want to be able to write a function within a class that swaps a button or movie clip on the stage (that sits within another movie clip)with another button/movie clip that is located within the library.I have attempted the addChild() method but that doesn't seem to be working so well...e.g.clipOnstage.myBtn.addChild("libraryClip")....was just hoping it would replace the mc that is already within the display object container (kind of like what loadMovie used to do in as2)
View 4 RepliesI basically have a large bar of items that fills up dynamically, they are all added to a dispCont movieclip as a container. When you click on one it gets pulled to the front, scales up and I want all the unselected Items to blur or become semi transparent. So i figured i could just tween the dispCont object, however this affects whatever is brought to the front, so i want to switch that into a new MovieClip called centerCont. Here is the code, ive been trying different things, I could just use a little input.[code]when I click on it because i am trying to set event.target.parent = centerCont;otherwise, uncommented and that removed i get Code:1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
View 0 RepliesI'm a pixel artist struggling with AS3.I want to load a sprite sheet from file, actionscript through the five rows of colors in the upper left to identify the five palattes (by default, the sprite sheet is colored using the first palette), then recolor the entire sprite sheet according the one of the five palettes, setting magenta to transparent. The end result being the ability to do this...
I can do loops and arrays, but I don't know how to actually cycle through the PNG identifying and replacing colors. I've loaded the sprite sheet and scrolled the palette out of view using scrollRect, but nothing else.
Code:
//Scale the screen x3
scaleX=3;
scaleY=3;
[code]....
For starters, I may be going about this all wrong, but I have two PNG bitmaps that I have embedded into my script:
[Embed(source="pic1.png")]
private var Image1:Class;
[Embed(source="pic2.png")]
private var Image2:Class;Now I can addChild and removeChild to get them on and off the screen, but this seems cumbersome.
I have got an animation using 4 jpeg pictures which are of course stored in my library...I use them multiple times in the animation and I need to change them from time to time but I dont want to swap them manually in flash.

View 2 RepliesHow do you go about swapping depths in AS3? I've got a movieClip (allContent_mc) that contains a bunch of other movieClips(mc1, mc2, etc.) that expand in size when clicked on. However, when they are expanded I need to make sure that the one being viewed is on top. The control to expand each clip lives within each clip itself. Ideally, when the expand code (below) is executed, I'd like to make sure the clip's depth supersedes all others. I'm keeping all the clips together in one larger clip because the larger clip is living inside a scrollPane component. Pretty sure I'm just not defining the path to the clip correctly.
ActionScript Code:
function goOpen(e:MouseEvent):void{
this.setChildIndex (square_mc , this.numChildren - 1 );[code]...........
How you'd swap; after storing, _x /_y position values of movie clips on button instances ie. onClick ..... Let's say I had four 4 movies and 3 buttons the (first movie looking like a button but is active so it's not clickable at that point) mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 when the movie loads they are in that order. When the user clicks mc2 or 3 or 4 it slides into the _x position of mc1, and mc1 slides into the _x pos. where mc2/3/ or 4 just was (they swap).... then the user clicks mc4 or 3 or 1 and it swaps pos. with mc2 and so on.... all this done with a smooth easing transition. An example similar to this is the navigation module on [URL].

I am working on a Flash / AS3 project which has several audio tracks and starts off with an intro track. When the user clicks a button a window opens and the audio track changes, the new audio track continuously loops until the user closes the window. When the window is closed the audio track switches to a default audio track which is similar to the intro track. The problem I am having is that when the user clicks on the button and the window opens, the audio track plays as expected, but when it reaches the end, it doesn't loop, instead the intro track starts to play instead (and loop I assume).
Here is the code I am working with:
Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[code]....
I included trace statements to track what the value of "music" is doing. It appears that when the function repeat() occurs, "music" always seems to default to the intro music "audio/track-intro.mp3".
I want to swap depths on movieclips overlaying each other but instead of the new clip on rollover just popping up over the other one, i want it to fade into the top.
here is an attached .fla file in mx2004 format.
for those not using 2004, here is the code:
PHP Code:
but1.onRollOver = but2.onRollOver = but3.onRollOver = but4.onRollOver = function() { this.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth()); };
Also, is there a way to streamline this code so i dont have to type the button instance names every time i add another?
Just was wondering if anyone had any idea on how you'd swap; after storing, _x /_y position values of movie clips on button instances ie. onClick .....
