Flash :: Creating World Clocks In Actionscript 3.0?
Sep 29, 2010
I've been having problems modifying this code in order to make it show 5 different world clocks. Right now, the simpleClock code shows just one simple clock. making it show 5 clocks next to one another and each clock having the time of a specific city in the world.I know that I only need to change the hours for each clock based on the time in that city but I also need to have the clock change color to represent the time of day. This is the codes for the AnalogClockFace and SimpleClock.
package com.example.programmingas3.simpleclock
{
import flash.display.Shape;[code]....

I'm trying to create an app that includes 2 clocks. One that displays the user's time (according to their computer) and one that shows the time in a time zone they select from a combobox.For some reason, the user's computer time always works, but the other clock always shows 12 for the hour, and has the correct minutes. The code I have right now is:
ActionScript Code:
time=new Date(); // time object
seconds = time.getSeconds()
[code]....
and the submit button just goes to and plays frame 2.

I'm trying to delve into the world of Flash/XML and the horrible mess they make together for me
This is my XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0 envoding="IS0-8859-1"?>
<events>
<event>
[Code]...
I've added a dynamic text field on the stage with the same name as the elements. Then, I want to be able to call several instances of it...i.e. add another <events> code block and have that come up underneath the existing info. I've search high and low to try to do this myself and I've failed miserably.

For the past two months I have been developing a new kind of Flash chat that allows you to fly around in a 2D virtual room with an animated graphical avatar. You can also upload your own picture for an avatar. The special thing about this chat is that it works with MySQL and PHP, so no fancy servers are needed. It can easily be customized in terms of design. Switch out the background image and the avatar icons and you have a completely new chat room. Flash AS3 Avatar Chat v0.94 BETA.

What I need to know is if Flash can control objects outside of the computer itself. Example would be if you had a light hooked up or something like that, could you use ActionScript code to illuminate said light when a button is pressed. Somehow control the output of power to a source outside the PC when Flash is told to do so.

Im making a game, and im very new to this, so please explain as good as you can. I have started with making the background which is a simple world map. I put in script so you can scroll around the map with the arrow keys. Now this will be a wargame, so i need some kinda grid over the map, like buttons of 50x50 placed all over the map, like the board game Risk for an example, so people can fight for territory. I tried doing this with buttons but made the game file very large, and it used to much ram.

I have a map and want to be able to show the date and time on a few individual parts of the map. The date and time will display when the users roll-over the area of the map. There are about 10 different areas. Can someone tell me if that's possible.

Right now I am creating a game kinda like the helicopter game. I have been trying to decide how make my world. I tryed drawing the entire thing and then just have it play through in a motion tween (classic tween) but that was way to time consuming. Also when you hit the objects in this world you die and its game over just like in the helicopter game.

I have some beautiful CATS drwan up for me. In typical avatar style you can change the colour, hat etc... of your avatar.What is the best set up for the assets.
1. Would I programatically import the HAT asset for example when chosen by the user
2. Would I have all the assets sitting inside on a layer inside the avatar - then it would be MASSIVE
Once the avatar is created it needs to walk around my virtual world etc... I don't want the MASSIVE avatar walking around with all the assets inside it.How would I only get what the user chose ie: A red cat with a black hat.Also, the colours would be best to programme them in otherwise I would have to have 10 different coloured copies. Is that right?

I'm getting "Application descriptor file cannot be parsed" before I've done anything -- see screencast at I've spent several hours trying various dialog boxes within Flash to change air/publish settings, editing XML file by hand, trying to launch things using AIR SDK outside of Flash, googling for something similar, but I can't seem to come up with anything that works.I'm curious if other people follow the steps I followed in the screencast if they get different results.

I understand the menu, but something I'm trying to reverse-engineer is the rotating world. I don't believe it's a movie clip because I can drag and rotate at will which leads me to believe that it's dynamic. So did the design firm use a graphics engine to do this?I was thinking After Effects for the flares in the background, but the rotate-able Earth throws me off.

Has anyone created a custom map chart of the world using Flash 8? I read in few places that its possible with a component but cannot seem to find the right one.
I need to create a custom heat map (map chart) which is based on the global map, and shows the performance all of the world's unemployment rate. Some alike this interactive swine flu map
However this is a map software but I need a component so to integrate the map inside my own flash application, is there a Flash 8 component which made it easier to create such map?

I'm thinking of building a game along the lines of Farmville - items, events, time management system etc. Options I am thinking of:
1) Flash UI frontend that uses AMFPHP to get all data for the view from a PHP powered backend.
2) Actionscript to power the whole game
My concern with Actionscript is scaling, my concern with PHP is having to build an update system that would need a lot of back and forth xmlhttprequests which might get complicated.

How in the WORLD is the rival class being repositioned on the stage? It does NOT inherret any other class, yet it still uses the "x" and "y" variables, and it looks like they are used the same way the regular ones are used.

URL...The game has a helicopter centered on the screen (the heli movieclip is in Scene 1, frame 1, Layer 2). Then I have a "World" movie clip on Layer 1. Inside the world movie clip are the enemies, weapons, and boundries of the map.The world movie clip is moved when the controls are used to make it look like the helicopter is moving (although it is actually stationary). When the space bar is pressed, the "bomb" movieclip inside of the "world" movie clip is duplicated, and the duplicate is placed at the correct coordinates in the "world" movieclip so that it seems like it is coming out of the helicopter. This is all working as intended.The problem comes when trying to hitTest the bombs with the boundries/enemies inside of the "world" movieclip. The "boundry" movieclip is also inside the "world" movieclip, and is part of the Boundry class. The hitTest is inside my "bomb" class. Heres the code:[code]But the hitTest just doens't work. I've tried every combination of legal hitTest statements between the two movieclips, and it wont work. As you can tell from the SWF...the bombs explode seemingly randomly. SO somewhere...somehow...the bomb is colliding with the boundry.

I have installed FMS 4 on a remote host - Windows 2008. When I install it, I would prefer to install the Apache server and so I did. When I open the initial web page (file:///C: [url]...), the flash content loads and the panel says it is streaming from rtmp. Seems good. But when I try to conect to this from another Flash Media Live encoder, rtmp://ip address/live, where ip address is the address of my host, it won't connect (Failur to connect to pimary server).
When I try to connect to my server with a browser - http://ip address, it loads a web page but clearly it is loading from from IIS.So port 80 is being used by IIS even though I chose to install Apache. Web servers aren't a strong suit but I've found Apache usually fairly easy.Now, I had installed FMS on my notebook and I found I could connect without trouble to rtmp://localhost/live with Flash Media Live Encoder. I figured by installing it on the remote host and then replacing localhost with the ip address, I'd be ok.
I'm willing to use IIS if that is the best thing to do. Maybe that has nothing to do with it. Getting started with these things is usually the hardest part. I've used FMS in the past but haven't had to deal with installing it.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

Good day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.
