I'm wondering if there is a way for a SWF to check at runtime whether it is running as an online SWF or an AIR app? I need to use the same SWF to run both online and locally, however when running as an AIR app, external assets are located in a different directory. I'd like to check whether a SWF is local or online so I can change the source path for external assets accordingly.

I am creating a local app that is going to be a swf file. Is there anyway to check if the user has internet while they are using my app. I tried this, it works great if testing the movie from flash, however, It does not work when running the swf file independently. I'm guessing this is because it is strictly intended for air app.[code]...

View 2 RepliesSo i have a timer running infinitely time, and there are 2 things that can trigger the timer to stop and be removed, and both scenarios can occur, so I need to check if the timer is on before trying to stop and remove it. How can I check whether a timer exists and/or is running?
View 4 RepliesHave a problem with setInterval. How do you check if your interval is still running and don't add another one? When i trace myInterval, it gives me increment numbers, and not true or false? Is that supposed to be normal? If so, how do i check that myInterval is there or not there and do my actions according to the result?

View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I work on a lot of digital media projects; which often require dynamic graphics. I find flash to be a great tool for this purpose. It's very easily to dynamically change text inside a swf, compensate for text overflow and apply lots of nice filters and effects. Not to mention font embedding. This technique works great for web pages, however quite often we want to use flash generated artwork in a html email. How can we do this? Well, we can use as3corelib to generate a jpg from a swf, and then use the generated image in an email.This is fine, so long as we can pre-generate all of the images, before sending out the emails. But say we need to generate the dynamic jpeg on the fly from a webpage? If the user on the webpage has flash installed we could configure a swf to generate the image for us.But what if the user has flash disabled? Maybe they are using an ios device or simply don't like flash. What I would like to do is set up a server side fallback that could run a swf, replace text in the swf based on supplied variables, generate a jpg using as3corelib and save the jpeg somewhere. The trick here is running flash player on the server. It would also need to run in a multithreaded way in case the server needed to process multiple requests.

View 2 Repliesis there a way to speed up flash movies playing when put up on the web. I created a web banner and uploaded it, when I open the website on the browser the flash movie pauses for a few minutes and does not play straight away. Is there any actionscript that will ensure the flash movie will play instantly when on the web? Is it the file size that is causeing the swf to run slower? Is it anything to do with the publish settings in the fla file?
View 4 RepliesI'm using Vista 64 on a more then adequate laptop, I initially used Flash CS4 and it was great for the past week but a few days ago it started geting really slow, whenever I copy, change frame, select something, basicaly any change action I have to wait about 5 seconds or more for a reaction. I'm using it for simple animation, no symbols, just 3 layers. I have a deadline coming up for my final production and if I can't fix this fast I'm screwed. I've tried every solution I can find, including trying Flash CS3 and Flash 8, nothing seems to fix the slow speed

View 1 RepliesSo im trying to get my flash portfolio up and running. And im using the code I usually do for buttons which is for example:
function onbrandingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("branding");
}
branding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbrandingClick);
All my menu buttons are working until I click on portfolio which has 6 different catergories and it just stops at branding and the other category buttons wont work. They are all set up fine with instances and such. However the buttons in the menu will still work.This might be confusing but I am up for sending the file to show someone if anyone is interested!

I have tried using fscommand and placing external exe in a folder "fscommand", but it doesn't seem to work.
I'm new to webdevelopment and I am looking for some tutorials or resources about how to run C++ code in a browser.

I don't have alot of webdevelopment experience but I do have a programming background C/C++. Cheers

View 1 RepliesI was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?
View 1 RepliesI have made a simple animation in Flash and the i exported into a swf. The problem is, that the movie is running slow, jerky or in other words is playing in slow motion. I have changed the frame rate but with luck, is there a problem with video player/codec?

View 1 RepliesI found many helpful guides to work with Flash and XML. But everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?
View 3 RepliesI have had an issue come up a couple times with publishing a stand-alone projector with Flash Player 10. When running in fullscreen mode, the visual of the program will freeze occasionally. The program actually continues to run in the background, and respond to clicks, but you can't see it happen. If you escape out of fullscreen mode, then you can see the program running, and the result of the touches (clicks) that you couldn't see in fullscreen mode.The strangest part is that the program continues to run, but the screen just doesn't update.
