I have a floor plan of a building in PDF that I want to visualize as a map, using tools like MapBox, FusionMaps, or AmMap. I am willing to redraw the floor plan if needed. What format should the map data be in? What kind of tool can I use to create that data?

View 3 Replieswe have some interactive particle simulators that had been programmed in Flash (.swf files).
I would like to find a way to convert these into some other format for use in iBooks Author.
How difficult would this be, and what kind of tools would I need to do it?
Someone told me once that every function in Flash has some associated actionscript being executed behind the scenes, e.g. converting a graphic to a symbol or drawing a pentagon on the stage. This person also told me that there is somewhere in which you can view said ActionScript as it's being executed. How can I do this? I deem such a feature necessary to do the projects I have been given, especially having very little experience with AS.
View 1 RepliesMy boss wants to draw the local network and then, if you click on one of the computers or roll the mouse over one, he wants to see stuff like RAM, CPU, OS, etc. This has to be done in a browser, more specifically, the intranet's wiki.One of my coworkers suggested using flash (I am a complete noob but I assume ActionScript is what would be used?) and I think it could also be done in javascript but I dunno.He wants it to be extensible if possible, so adding another computer later or editing values shouldn't be too hard, though the topology shouldn't change very often.

I want to convert my dynamic Drawing (that I created in a Flash Dialog using AS 3) into the .DXF and .DWG format. Is there any way by which I can give the export functionality on the flash page so that the dynamic drawing that created in flash code will export into .DXF and .DWG format.
View 3 RepliesI have Adobe Flash Media Server 3.01 installed on my server. I can record files via user's webcam and convert them to .flv with spesific compression sizes. But i want my users my users to upload an .avi, .mpeg / .mpg, .mov etc file via an http form and after upload finishes i want fms to convert file to flv.
It can be done with the ffmpeg tool free but i wonder if interactive server has a feature like this.
Say I've got a utility class in which I would like to access the stage (in order to get the frameRate).
I don't particularly want to force the user to pass in the stage to each method or set a static property on my class before using it.
Is there any way to get ahold of the stage without it being passed in? All I need is the frameRate!
I am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to tile a rectangle (the stage) with an arbitrary number of rectangles. Simple tiling where all the tiles are the same size and simply stacked in a grid.I'm doing this with a resizable layout and a number of tiles that is arbitrary and will change over time.
Given a more or less 4:3 or 16:9 monitor I would like a solution that tends toward minimizing the perimeter of the tile and being similar in aspect ratio to the screen. I realize that if I have a prime number of tiles that I won't be able to make a nice grid, but other than that it seems there should be some way to do this.Lets say I have 231 tiles I need to arrange. The factors are 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77 and 231.If the screen is really, really wide 1 x 231. Wide but not not as crazy wide as before 3 x 77. And most likely 11 x 21 is what I would need.So is there an easy way to do this on the fly? Is there a pre-calculated way to make it easy?

View 1 RepliesBelow is code that populates a menu. Everything seems to work great, with no errors thrown, except for one crucial part. My megaPages array has the values ["HOME","BABIES","BRIDALS","MISC","WEDDINGS","ABOUT"], but the actual text that displays on screen (which is produced by megaPages) is like this:
As you can see, some of the text is arbitrarily being truncated. I've traced the text strings as they get passed through the various functions at various stages of the menu-build, and they are always right, but somehow when each DisplayObject make it on screen, letters get ommitted (notice though that 'HOME' abd 'ABOUT' are fine). I don't even know where to start with this problem.

I have several custom functions that I import as .as files, but I frequently have to modify them to suit projects, which makes standardization and version tracking harder.Is there a way to pass arbitrary expressions to a function when it's called? For example, if I write the function,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
}
}
would there be some way to attach an additional expression after the trace function during the function call? As in,
Code:
foo(do_stuff_here);
where the function would act as if it had said,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
[code]....
but without modifying the original function?I realize I could add an expression to the original function within a conditional, and toggle it via an argument within the call, but since I don't know what I'll add next, or whether I'll need it next time, this would become impractical quickly.
I'd like to convert an arbitrary string (or for easier process a string hash) to a float number between 0 and 1. The purpose is to create a function that returns a color code for a given string so the user always sees that entity in the same color that is generated from its name.OP included this code in comments (included here for readability):
var hashed:String = MD5.hash(input); // creates a 32 long hexa
const max:Number = Number("0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff");
var hashedHexa:Number = Number("0x" + hashed);

In ActionScript 1 and 2, if you compare undefined, null or NaN with an arbitrary number using >= or <= operator, the result is always true. Test code:
var x, n, range = 1000;
for (var i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
switch (i) {
case 0:
x = undefined;
[Code] .....
Furthermore, isNaN(null) return true. These are contrary to JavaScript and may not conform with ECMA standard.
I want to be able to take a general sine wave y=Math.sin(x) and rotate it around some other angle, so instead of going strictly left-to-right, I'd like to go from, say, the top left corner toward the "center," or from the bottom right to the center, or any other arbitrary angle. Like this: I want to be able to use that wave as a "path" for enemies in a game, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around it. I've tried matrix transformations, but I was missing something there, too, because the origin was wrong.
View 1 RepliesI'm using a CartesianChart with a DateTimeAxis to display weekly data in a Flex application.When I set dataUnits="weeks" and labelUnits="weeks" on the DateTimeAxis, it automatically places each major tick on a Sunday. However, I would like to provide users with the option of beginning the week on a Sunday or a Monday. How can I ask the DateTimeAxis to instead place the major ticks on a Monday (or some other day of week)?For example, if the user is looking at total sum of something over the week, and requests that weeks start on a Sunday, the Series data would look like:
x: Date(July 11, 2010) y: 25
x: Date(July 18, 2010) y: 30
x: Date(July 25, 2010) y: 32

I have an arbitrary number of files that I need to load in an AIR app.I want to iterate through an array of File object and create and launch Loaders for each one's File.url.When they are done (event COMPLETED or IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR), I want to stuff their data somewhere. If they fail, I want to make an exception report. I cannot find any way to reference the File object from the event listener (certainly not the IO_ERROR)The best way would be to create individual event handlers for each Launcher that had the File information "hard-coded" into it. At the very least, I could use the function itself as an index to a Dictionary:
foo(fileToLoad : File) : void
{
var theCompletedHandler : Function =
{
[code]....
Can I use event.currentTaget and use the Loader instance as an index? Will that have any weird dependencies ?
I'm trying to write a custom fadeTo(component, x, y):void method, which takes an arbitrary Flex Component as an argument and moves it to a given location, but smoothly.
The problem I'm running into is the following.
I want to send the component itself as argument, like this: (using Button as an example only)
fadeTo(myButton, 200, 500);
(this should move myButton smoothly from its current position to the position indicated as parameter)
However, I don't really know what type an arbitrary Flex Component is. How should I handle that?

Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.
I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);
[Code].....
I've created a drawing tool which allows the user to draw on the canvas, the problem is that if I try to draw over a movieclip nothing happens. Is there a way I can allow for the user to draw over movieclips? For example if I had a background of paper?
Here's the code I'm using for it:
// This code is for drawing the lines on the page
//1.
var drawingLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChildAt(drawingLine,0);

I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.
