Actionscript :: Learn The Js Syntax - Open Text Eidtor - Write A Xx.js,and Run It?
Mar 5, 2011
1)create a page which contain a flash can be add text dynamiclly
2)make an element full screen in the web page
I found that I have to learn the actionscript to reach my requirement. However I have NEVER did the flash dev,and after googling I do not have a clear understanding of actionscript.
So I want to know some basic concepts:
1)what's the runtime environment of as?
We know the javascript run within the browser,but how about the as?
2)how about the run mechanism ?
For js,the browser download the xx.js to local,and run it.How about the as?Since I have download an actionscript example: but I do not find any xx.as,and just the xx.swf,and xx.fla,so is the xx.fla equal to the xx.js?
3)Should the actionscript be complied?
For js,answer is no. Everyone can see the source codes of the xx.js,but when I try to open the xx.fla with a text editor,I found it is a binary file.
4)how to get started with actionscript,I mean the dev environment.
For javascript,I need nothing,just learn the js Syntax,then open my favoriate text eidtor, then I can write a xx.js,and run it. But how about the actionscript? Since from google I heard people said the flex sdk is needed,I am not sure about their realationship.Also, Do I have to learn how to create the flash - xx.swf? what's the realationship between the actionscript and the flash file? Any populate tool?

I have a Flex application with a couple of DataGrids with data. I'd like to save the data to a file so that the user can keep working with them in Excel, OpenOffice or Numbers.
I'm currently writing a csv file straight off, which opens well in OpenOffice or Numbers, but not in Excel. The problem is with the Swedish characters, which turn up as other characters when opening in Excel. Converting (in Notepad++) the csv-file to ANSI encoding makes the show up correctly in Excel.
Is there any way to write ANSI-encoded files straight from Flex?
Any other options for writing a file that can be opened in Excel and OpenOffice?

I can open a new window using window.open() in ExternalInterface.call() but then I want to be able to write contents to the new window. Since, I cannot get the reference of the window back from window.open() call, I am not able to do anything to the window once it is opened.
I do not have any control over the HTML in which my swf is displayed.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
Update: After a few hours of trial and error I found you can get out of this situation by storing your window reference globally and referring to the same global reference whenever you need to access the new window.

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

I'm trying to write some text to a text file. Actually, i retrieved the text from the file simply without using any PHP, so i thought there might be a way to write back to it without PHP too. Is there?? i couldn't find any through flash help files though.. Anyways, so i started trying to use PHP for it. I wrote some code so that it took some text from a dynamic text box on stage, and would write it into a text file in a folder inside the one which contains the swf and the php file.

What do you guys think is the best way to learn Actionscript is? I checked the sticky and the links, they are some good links, but I was wondering what is the best way to go about learning Actionscript. Repetition is probably a factor but should I go from tutorial to tutorial or go up in skill gradually?

What would be an advisable way to learn actionscript 3? Is it best to read up and experiment with the basics first or can you jump in at the deep end and try to do more complicated things with the help of forums? Are you going to learn much that way?

I had a complete interactive application built in ActionScript 2.0, and now need to revise and update it -- which means converting the old code to 3.0. The first scene is a preloader for the entire application that loads and intro animation before launching the application. I went to the help section figuring that once I had some actionScript in the file, I could delete and experiment with the code until I began to understand (I did take a semester long course in Java, but not much has been retained). If you couldn't tell already, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
I copied the ActionScript from the help section, and pasted it into my Flash document. I went to test movie and got the following error message: "1037: Packages cannot be nested" I can't even figure out what that means! I have nothing else in my document.

I don't seem to find any decent AS3 book for learning Object Oriented Design.
I checked several ones but most assume that you are an intermediate or advanced AS3 developer.One like AS3 Design & Patterns is good but starts simple and get really complicated quickly. Another 2 are Object Oriented AS3 and Advanced AS3 with design patterns is TOO ADVANCED. Now we have OOP books but not for the little guy with limited programming experience like me. What are my alternatives? A friend of mine told me get Head First Java and learn from there it explain Java but especially OOP for beginners. What do you guys think I should do? I feel it is a shame that I need to go to Java to learn OOP because AS3 books are not for beginners.

It is possible writing to a dynamic text field in flash using PHP without calling the PHP from the flash? I don't want use the loadvar function, just load a regular swf with a dynamic text field and write a php line and write to the field.

I'm trying to learn flash to learn times tables, so I want to almost but not quite repeat things. I haven't done programming since punch cards so all the "how to get from Actionscript 2 to 3" is less than helpful.I've got a Game Design book but I"m not finding how to simply copy a chunk of frames to repeat (and then change how it ends to take one answer off).

Would be of amjor benifit to learn the AS3 structure by way of Flex for the next verison of Flash? What I mean is, will Flash 9's AS be AS3 such as it is in Flex... and if so, would it be wise for me to familiarize myself with Flex's way of coding for that very reason?

So here is what i'm working with. I built a quiz for teachers to use so all they would have to do is edit a text file and then flash would read the file and generate the quiz based off it. The problem i have is that a few of the teachers are having problems editing the text file in the correct way. I wrote this flash movie to save the variables to a text file. I read somewhere that fscommand - save dosent work anymore. Is there some other way to have it write a text file to the local machine? The swf would be saved on their machines.
