As3 :: Library For Transforming Images During Runtime

Jul 7, 2010

Does anyone know any as3 libraries that allow you to scale, rotate, skew, etc.. images during runtime? I have found the greensock transform manager class, but would prefer not to pay $300.

Adding Flash Transforming Images To Header?

Sep 3, 2009

I am new to flash and I have created a website header in Photoshop, published in Dreamweaver but its too static. The header consists of a company name and 3 images on the right hand side along with 3 menu tabs below it. When a client clicks on a menu the header stays the same on every page but I would like to have the 3 images in the menu to transition to another set of 3 images as the user clicks on a menu.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Loading Into The Library At Runtime?

Nov 29, 2009

I have built a flash animation (for a web site) that requires a number of decent quality JPG images.  I don't display all of these at the start, so I don't want to wait for them all to load before starting the animation.  Thus I want to be able to load these images in the background - the obvious process would involve MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method.  This works fine if I am loading into an INSTANCE of a moveclip (either existing on the stage or one that I creat in actionscript) - but I really want to load into a library movieclip.
 
The problem is that I end up using these images in two different movies on the stage - each pulls from a movieclip in the library (that contains the image I want).  So my original thought was simply to load (using loadClip()) into the library movie - which in turn would show up in the two stage movieclips that have this library clip in the timeline.  However, I cannot seem to get loadClip() to work with a library object.

I tried exporting the library movieclip to actionscript (giving it a name) - but loadClip() doesn't seem to want to load into it.  I can only get loadClip() to load into an instance that exists on the stage.Sorry if I am asking a stupid question - I don't do a lot of flash programming - although I have extensive programming experience in other languages.

Flash :: Set Up RSL (Runtime Shared Library)?

Feb 8, 2011

I'm having a little trouble setting up a new project (an e-Learning) that I think will benefit a lot from RSL.My case is something like this[code]...

The Main will be the first movie to be instantiated, then, all that is necessary from here will be download.Every lesson will be put in a fla/swf apart from the "Architecture" (that is the Main, Scenes, Navigation and a whole bundle of classes called Engine) and will be added at runtime inside the Scenes.

The Engine is responsible for handling repetitive and necessary tasks, events, common methods, communication with server, among other things.The Navigation is responsible for handling user input, as the navigation (next/prev lesson and such), and then passes it to the Engine, that will manipulate the Scenes (and it's children).

Well, I have some restrictions too:Every swf file that will be handed to our client need to have less than 80kb, which means I'm tied.I can't compile the whole thing as a package ready to delivery.As size counts, I need means to alleviate the load as much as possible.So, I searched a lot these days and found out RSL.I've created some tests to know better how to use this and, of course, got into a trap.

I haven't been able to set up my Flash correct, haven't any success with the "Library Path" (under AS3 configuration), haven't been able to compile classes inside the SWC...

Another thing is that I won't make the lessons, only the Architecture.Those lessons will be created by people that may not have any knowledge in AS3 (OOP or program logic) at all.And I'm not inclined to delivery the whole engine (source code) to anyone from outside that may mess with it, making the whole app (apps, in fact, we'll produce hundreds of e-learnings).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete The Library Items At Runtime?

Apr 27, 2010

Is it possible to delete the library items at runtime?
 
I am loading b.swf in a.swf. After some time b.swf unloads and c.swf is loaded inside a.swf. Though the b.swf unloads but the library items of b.swf remain there and conflict with the library items of c.swf. c.swf has some items with the same name as in b.swf. c.swf shows the movieclips from the library of b.swf with similar name.
 
I think the best way would have been to load these assets externally instead of keeping them in the library if we want to destroy them at runtime. But, we have a large number of already constructed files. Ability to destroy the library items at runtime will also help maintain memory usage in limits.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Runtime Shared Library Woes?

Jan 12, 2009

I am facing an error using shared libraries. The error pops up during compile and only happen when I give an instance name to my imported asset. Let me describe further:

I have an asset library where all movie clips in this file are exported for runtime sharing - LibraryA.swf

Next is the file that uses the assets - ShirtA.swf

What I did is to import an asset from LibraryA.swf (e.g. collar) into ShirtA.swf. Now I have collar movieclip in my ShirtA library. I drag an instance of it to the stage and compile. No problems.

I then gave this instance a name, "myCollar". I tried to compile again, and I get an error from Flash IDE - 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: collar

ActionScript 3.0 :: Modifying Library Assets At Runtime?

Feb 19, 2010

I'm building an avatar class that will allow a user to swap out character assets during runtime. The idea is pretty straight forward. The artist I am working with designed the art assets for the individual pieces of the avatar and performed the animations in flash. Since the animations were created in flash using vector art as opposed to pre-rendered 3d, I want to simply replace each individual movieclip within the animation with the asset selected by the player.

Problem:The issue i'm running into is that the animations have several key frames. My thought is to load the avatar object (an external swf) into my main application. Once loaded, I obtain a reference to all library assets that are used in the animations. For example, to get the face, I have something like:

Code:
if(this.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.hasDefinition("face"))
{

Fonts - Cannot Get Flash Runtime Shared Library To Work

Oct 18, 2011

I am using Flash CS5 (assets) and FlashDevelop (code) for my project. We have about 20 fla/swf's that contain textfields. All of our textfields use the same Font, and the font is specific to our company so won't be installed on anyones computers, hence it needs to be embedded.

My ultimate goal is to have one single font embedded that all of the textfields use, for 2 main reasons:

Whenever we add more characters to the font (other languages), we only need to add them once and not 20 times The file size doesn't blow out dramatically

I'm having great difficulty in trying to achieve this. It seems that everything I try, characters are missing (only characters entered in the text property of the textfields in each fla seem to be embedded).

The latest solution I am trying is using Runtime Shared Libraries, as this seems like it should work. I have an fla called FNFont.fla. It contains just one object in the library, the embedded font. The font is exported to AS3, exported in frame 1 and exported for runtime sharing. The URL is FNFont.swf (all swf's are in the same folder).

In all the other fla's, I create the font object in font embedding. I tick Import for Runtime Sharing and give it the same class name as the one in FNFont.fla. The URL is FNFont.swf. The fla(s) contain many textfields using this font. The textfields have instances of themselves as children of other movieclips.

When I run the program and attempt to load a movieclip that contains an instance of one of these textfields, I get the error:

[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FontName is not defined.

FontName is the class name of the Font object in FNFont.fla and all other fla's. It is not the instance name of the textfield (nor the class name), so I don't understand how it thinks its a variable.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Runtime Shared Library - Main And Assets SWF

Mar 26, 2009

This is the concept I want to get into code:
1) Have a Document Class attached to the Main.swf
2) Have a Assets.swf that has all MovieClips that set to Export and have been given actual Classes.
3) Have the document class Load the Assets.swf.
4) Once loaded, be able to create instances of the MovieClips from Assets.swf by writing the code in the Document Class of Main.swf

I can get all this to work.. However what I am finding is if I have a public function on the Document class that creates an instance of something from the Assets.swf, lets say var okTest:TestClass = new TestClass(); I have to also import it in the Document Class (import com.test.TestClass). When I compile it, yes it works. If I remove the Assets.swf file it doesn't display. Ok.. But I've noticed that the Main.swf file is including all the imported classes (eg: com.test.TestClass) so the Main.swf filesize is pretty much the same as the Assets.swf file.

I also ran it through a decompiler and can see yes in fact Main.swf is including all those Classes from Assets.swf because I'm trying to access them from Main.swf and had to import. So the biggest question is how do I go about this properly? Being able to load the asset file that has movieclips etc that have custom classes. Then create instances of those classes within the document class but only if Assets.swf is loaded.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Runtime Shared Library Load Timing?

Mar 22, 2010

I think I basically get runtime shared libraries, but I have some very specific questions which I have not been able to find answers for anywhere:

1) When you load swf "A" that references a runtime shared library swf, does the entire runtime shared library swf also immediately load? (true/false)

2) When swf "A" instantiates a symbol that is linked to be imported from the runtime shared library, does the entire runtime shared library swf load then? (true/false)

3) When swf "A" instantiates a symbol that is linked to be imported from the runtime shared library, does only that specific symbol load? (true/false)

My problem is, if I put all my bitmaps in swf "A", then it takes a really long time to load. I'm wondering, if I put all my bitmaps in a runtime shared library, and link the symbols in swf "A" to the runtime shared library, then will swf "A" load fast (because the runtime shared library is not loaded)? And when I instantiate a linked symbol, will it also load fast (because the entire runtime shared library is not loaded)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Images Vs Export Images From The Library?

Oct 10, 2009

is it better to import images to the timeline at runtime, or export them from the library for use in action script?

I have a few images which make up the background to my website (ie they are unlikely to change very often - if at all), which I am currently exporting from the library for use with my action script code, and the rest of my images I am dynamically loading in based on a set of paths held in a csv file (these may change often).

As I have already built the class to dynamically load in external images, I was wondering if I should also load in those images which make up the background.

IDE :: CS5 - Setting URLs For Import / Export For Runtime Shared Library

Aug 27, 2010

Summary: I don't quite understand how the import/export URLs for symbols in a runtime library work. I can't figure out how I can set them so that the runtime library will be properly loaded and accessible for other swfs to import from, if I want it to work both in a local environment (on my harddrive), and from a remote environment (on a web page).

Relative URLs seem to work great for the hard-drive case, but fail for the web page. Is there a magic way to set the relative URL to work from the web too? And/or, is there some way of manually loading up the RSL at runtime and making the importing swfs import from that loaded copy, rather than having Flash doing it behind the scenes based on the import URL set in the symbol? Following is a longish description of what I'm trying to do, and why... I'm trying to figure out if we can use RSLs to contain common UI controls for our next project. I'm running into an organizational issue that I can't quite figure out - how to get the RSLs to work in both a local development/debugging environment, and on a production web environment, with the same exporting/importing URLs.

Here's what my setup would look like. Say I have a main application main.swf, an RSL lib.swf, and a UI module dialog.swf. Main.swf loads or embeds dialog.swf. lib.swf exports some symbols that dialog.swf imports. On a local development environment, these swfs are found in folders like so:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pulling Movie Clips From Library At Runtime, Dynamic Names?

car_mc1
car_mc2
car_mc3[code].....

My Question:

1) The name is not genereted through the addChild metho, is there an temp Add solution or something that would add on the Fly?

2)The object when working as a single object, gets Tweened out to -200, i just want it to Tween out and get Removed form the stage?

3) The Movie Clip remains on the screen while another instance is brought on when using static naming convetion (this is just to say that i have tested it),I only want the object to be available for the Tween, nothing else

Professional :: Setting Up Runtime Shared Library URLs With Multiple Environments

Aug 26, 2010

I'm trying to figure out if we can use RSLs to contain common UI controls for our next project.  I'm running into an organizational issue that I can't quite figure out - how to get the RSLs to work in both a local development/debugging environment, and on a production web environment, with the same exporting/importing URLs.
 
Here's what my setup would look like.  Say I have a main application main.swf, an RSL lib.swf, and a UI module dialog.swf.
 
Main.swf loads or embeds dialog.swf.  lib.swf exports some symbols that dialog.swf imports.
 
On a local development environment, these swfs are found in folders like so:

[URL]
 
Here is the problem.  If I set the export/import url for symbols in lib.swf to "assets/lib/lib.swf" (relative to the location of main.swf), the runtime library gets loaded fine in the local environment.  But in the web environment, it does not load - the player just shows the "..." graphic indicating it is trying to load. 
 
Alternatively, I can use "http:/myapp.com/assets/lib/lib.swf" as the export/import url.  Now, it will work in the web environment.  However, in the local environment, dialog.swf will load symbols from the lib.swf that is out on the web, not the one that is local.  But I need it to load from the local version, so that designers can muck about with the assets and see the results locally before publishing to the web.
 
Is there some alternative way to set up the swf's, or way to set the URLs, or some other hoop I can jump through that will make the RSL load properly in either environment without having to manually change URLs all the time?
 
(Details: I am using Flash Builder 4, CS 5, Action Script 3, Flash Player 10... No Flex!  My example omits some details from my actual setup, such as the fact that we are using a preloader to load the main application, and a php script on the web page to start the preloader.)
