Documentation - Flash CS4 Have An Alternative To ASDoc?
Mar 16, 2010Does anybody know of a tool that will allow me to create ASDoc style documentation with a Flash CS4/AS3 application? From what I hear ASDoc only works with Flex.

View 1 RepliesI've been working on a framework in AS3 that I want to release, but first I obviously need to prepare some documentation for it.I've noticed that quite a few sites have the exact same layout, functionality etc as Adobe Livedocs, which has let me to believe that there's something open source out there for creating online documentation.
Ideally the system would be specifically suited for documentation in ActionScript 3. I don't have a requirement in terms of the documentation being automatically generated either - if there's something out there that looks/works nice I'm happy to manually create the documentation (provided it comes with tools for easily adding classes, arguments, etc).
I'm running ASDoc to document my code. (The command line tool shipped with Flex that generates documentation of your code.)I'm running into a problem. I created a project targeting Flash Player 10 and the project compiles just fine in Eclipse, but when running ASDoc, one of the classes I use contains methods that are NOT available to flash players lower than Flash Player 10. Thus the ASDoc tool is generating an error, b/c it doesn't know I am targeting Flash Player 10.How do I tell ASDoc that I wish to target Flash Player 10?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use AsDoc on the code of one of my projects in flash. Some of the classes that I use inside the code are "exported for actionscript" classes from my FLA file. Of course the AsDoc compiler complains that those classes are not defined anywhere. Does anyone know how to make it ignore these class types?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to put a Flash ActiveX control into a Windows Form but I am running into a problem: a lack of documentation. The best I have found is a site called "F-IN-BOX" that has some documentation but much of the API is still a black box. For example, some property will take an integer or a string and provide no clue about what it wants. Another exanple is the FlashVersion() function that inexplicably returns 655361 on version 10.
Incidentally I'm having the same problem with Apple's Quicktime OCX. I've searched both sites and Google and I'm starting to wonder if either of these companies provide documentation for any of their products. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for either of them, even if it's the unofficial variety?
It's been a while since I've done any AS3 dev. but now I'm working with CS5. I remember back in the good ol' days of CS3, You opened it up and there was a whole list of classes and it allowed you to drill down into each and see great examples and full documentation. Now, whenever I click on help it brings up this awkward and overly complex AIR interface. I don't like this! Is there anything like the old interface?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to host a flash object inside an CAxWindow, I have managed to insert a shockwaveflash (SWF) and its working fine. I am trying to find all available API's that are available in the flash ocx. I am unable to find any documentation for the functions in the IShockwaveFlash interface.I know that Adobe doesn't have a documentation for using flash in VC++ but I was wondering if anyone can point me to a place where I can find an UNOFFICIAL documentation for flash.ocx or code samples as the only API that I could find and I'm currently using is "PutMovie".
View 2 Repliesis there no official documentation / guide published somewhere on how to create components for Flash CS5?
View 1 RepliesStill getting use to Flash Builder.
i'm writing pure ActionScript, without MXML, to create AIR applications.
when i try to reference the documentation by Command + Clicking on code (in this case i Command + Clicked on "Sprite") i receive the following error[code]...
The docs I can find for flash.globalization.DateTimeFormatter are here In those docs, the examples show the use of an important method called setDateTimeStyles(). However, there is no such documented method! Same goes for format().
I feel I'm missing something or am looking at dated/incomplete material (or am a complete idiot). Where is the correct/best documentation?
PS: I'm finding I have this general problem (missing/incomplete docs) quite frequently and this question could actually be "Where is the 'correct' flex/actionscript documentation? Or is it just bad?", but I'll be very specific (and non-inflammatory) to try and improve the odds of a clean answer...
How to embed a Flash application into trac Wiki
View 2 Repliesdoes anyone know how/where to download actionscript 3 flash platform full documentation in packed HTML files. What I want is to have a local copy of the following doc: [URL] We are currently using a local copy of FLASH4 actionscript docs, which is quite out-of-date.
View 3 RepliesIf your Flash app is in the middle of some code, such as a method, or the AS on a frame, and it gets a callback from an asynchronous event, how does it handle that? Is execution halted on the current code to handle the callback? Or does the currently executing code finish first?
I can't seem to find any white papers or documentation on the threading behind Flash.
We have developed a magazine reader which is basically PHP application. Admin panel is built in PHP but when any user wants to read a particular magazine, it is handled by Flash i.e. we are embedding the .swf object with HTML in PHP page. But flash is not supported in iPad/iPhone. So we want to create this application in Xcode so that user can read the magazine in iPhone/iPad also. There is confusion how it can be accomplished.
View 1 RepliesI would like to have a flash app on a website where:A user can input some values Those values are then sent to a server which has an executable fileThe exe is run with the user's settings and then sends some data back to the userThe data is displayed in the flash app.Is it doable with CGI or is there a better alternative to this?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a Flash app in Flash 10 and ActionScript 2.0 and need support for calling an EXE with some params and minimizing/close the application.
Neither Adobe AIR nor Zinc don't seem to support some code I made and I'm looking for a very simple alternative? Does anyone know about any?
I've been using PTViewer but it is causing some issues with looking for the ptdefault.html everytime and I'm wondering what other options are out there?
View 2 RepliesI want the content of a local text file to become available inside JavaScript. I've achieved that using HTML 5 FileReader API, but this works only in Mozilla Firefox and Chrome now. I know that it is possible to create a cross-broswer solution using Flash. Is there any open-source project that do that?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently loading a remote swf through as3 (with a domain policy to allow all from that domain - the policy file can't be changed by myself), that i want to take a snapshot of. The problem is that the main swf that i load, is loading child swf's from another domain that does not have the allow all policy turned on.. This makes the snapshot feature call a "sandbox security" error. I'm wondering if there's an alternative to the bitmapdata draw function to still take a "snapshot" without conflicting the sandbox security.
View 3 RepliesOk we all know that you can embed assets with Flex using the [embed] code.
But is there anyway to achieve something similar to this when working with only Flash?
For example:I need to create a class (that contains certain assets) that needs to be used in the Flash IDE, but I don't want to have to drop all the assets into the library for every Flash file that happens to use the class.
Does anyone know if you can write your own pages that asdoc will recognize and use? For instance, I'd like to write some "Getting Started","Support" and "FAQ" kind of pages that will help understanding what my actionscript classes are about.

View 1 RepliesI have a canvas based component, so when I check the asdoc comments, they have inherited comments of Canvas. can we remove that inherited comments, and add our own AsDoc comments..
View 1 RepliesI'm finally reading up on commenting code with ASDoc (http:url]....) but the way ASDoc is set up doesn't seem to agree with the way I write my getter/setters.Here is how I write them:
Code:
//I want to add the ASDoc tags here, before this chunk of code
private var _enabled:Boolean = true;
public function get enabled():Boolean[code]...
if I ad the tags where I want them, if I understand correctly, they will comment the private variable instead. Bummer.So, either I change the coding style I have been using for the past three years, or insert the tags inside of my code, making it ugly and less structured. I'm leaning towards option A.how do YOU write your getter/setters so they are ASDoc friendly?
I could sift through all HTML pages and write code that extracts the information, or even start from scratch and do the same for AS files, but I'd rather not.
I would like to use the ASDoc information from one set of classes in another SWF. Is there any way to export all the ASDoc information to XML format, or something that is easy to parse?
Such as:
Code:
<class name="DebugText" description="A lightweight, visual debugging tool." author="IqAndreas">
<property name="text" namespace="public" returns="String" throws="Error bla bla"

I am running into some real problems with importing a png and associating it with a movieclip.Basically I want an image (image1.png) to appear inside a blank movieclip on my stage called "image1". I need this to all run from the library and not from an external folder - thus this does not work for me : loadMovie ("image1. png", "ClickReveal.image1");Is this possible? Or do I absolutely have to run from an external folder or convert the png to a movieclip by hand and then use attachMovie? I am desperately trying to avoid those options.The reason is that I am building a template file here and the users need to be able to import their own images which may be called anything and need to pop into movieclips.
