I'm looking for a jsfl function that can select all items on a frame and delete all strokes that match a specific color such as #0000ff
Basically I make a lot of notes with the pencil tool using red pencil strokes. But when Im done I just want to tell flash to delete all my red stokes from the screen and leave everything else intact. Any solutions to this?
I'm using FDT 3 and Ant to make a jsfl file that is then executed to compile fla's and I'm trying to figure out how to get the jsfl to remove the aso files. I've tried storing the path to the aso files in a property in Ant the is then added to the jsfl when its created and it works to remove the aso file but it means that everyone must edit that property to fit their machine, we are using Macs and Windows.
My question is, is there a way to have jsfl find and delete the aso files?
I have this big JSFL project I'm working on that involves deleting a raw shape (ungrouped) and then replacing it with another one. The problem is that the original shape doesn't always actually get erased (I haven't figured out the precise circumstances where this happens yet though). Even if it does get deleted, though, when I draw the new shape on the stage (using Path.makeShape), the new shape has extra vertices where its edges cross those of the original shape. So even if I end up with the correct-looking shape on the stage without the one that was there before, my shape I just created is likely to have extraneous vertices (and I need the vertices to be unchanged).
View 2 RepliesI have the following as3 function below which converts normal html with links so that the links have 'event:' prepended so that I can catch them with a TextEvent listener.

How can i modify my function so that links with 'event:' at the start are NOT matched and are left unchanged?
I have been wondering for a long time, if there is an easy way to convert Trapcodes 3d strokes, created in AE, to vectors for use in Flash. I need to use the strokes for masking other objects in Flash, so its not enough to just import them as a flash movie with an alpha channel.
Right now I am exporting my 3d stroke-animation from AE as an image sequence, importing each frame into Illustrator, where I live-trace them to vector objects. Then I must paste and position each object on the stage (and timeline) in Flash, sort of rebuilding the animation, and then finally use this animation as a mask. A very time consuming and tedious process.
I am not new to regex but have come across a problem I can't seem to solve. I'm trying to locate a specific HTML tag that has a specific attribute/value pair (it may have other attributes, too, but those are optional), extract it's contents as a backreference and wrap a new custom tag around it. The original tag is:

Is it possible to execute a jsfl function from a jsfl file instead of a full string with MMExecute? And above of that how can i change the base class with jsfl? i created a panel to create certain displayobjects but i really need to change the base class instead of the normal class name.

I am creating a game in which bubbles with simple math equations are falling from the top of the screen, and you have to enter in the answer to make the specific bubble disappear. The only problem is that I need a system that can delete the bubble(s) corresponding to the answer. I'm using an Actions-Frame code and a mathBubble AS class. I will show the frame code first.

i have an XML like
var test:XML = new XML( <record id="5" name="AccountTransactions"
<field id="34" type="Nuber"/>
</record>);
i want to remove all the attributes other than id and type in all nodes of XML. by this code i am unable to do this. can you suggest better solution, other than loops.
var atts:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(test.descendants().attributes().((localName() != "id") && (localName() != "type")));
atts.removeAll(); trace(test)
it still show all attributes.
I am coding a graphical interface using Flex, and I have a qestion related to masks in Flash.I want to create a kind of mask that defines which color and which alpha value a text will have according to its position on the screen. It is very easy to do that with the text being the mask of a bitmap, for instance.
However, I also want to take into account the color of the text itself.for instance, if I create a red text, in some zone it will be red with a modified alpha value, but on another zone, the text will be full white, as if there was a kind of mask which also applies its own color on top of it.
Is there a way to easily do this kind of thing? Of course, I can manually apply the format on the text according to where it is, but I wonder if there is an automatic processing like mask or blend mode using a DisplayObject as a processing pattern.
I know this is possible to be done using javascript, and I presume I could get the values to flash calling js, but I'm looking for any AS3 library/code that does the same.

<fx:Script>

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

I am trying to encode certain values that I receive from keyboard event. Basically I want to check if a certain key combination has been pressed or not, so for that I am converting the key codes into sequence/pattern and store it in an object and a value(function) against each code sequence. Now I have to use four bytes and in first byte(MSB) I've to store shift, alt, ctrl respectively and in the last(LSB) I have to store the keycode of the key pressed.
Here is the code:
private function m_encodeValue(key:String, Ctrl:Boolean = true, Alt:Boolean = true, Shift:Boolean = false):uint {
var encodedValue:uint;
encodedValue = uint(Shift) << 2 | uint(Alt) << 1 | uint(Ctrl);
encodedValue = encodedValue | (uint(key.toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)) << 24);
return encodedValue;
}

What is the best way to hide specific (interpolated) color ranges? For example, I have a gradient that goes from blue > cyan > yellow > red. What I need is to hide blue > cyan, yellow > red but leave the cyan > yellow.
var rangeA:Object = {min:0x0000FF, max:0x00FFFF} //hide
var rangeB:Object = {min:0x00FFFF, max:0xFFFF00}; //show
var rangeC:Object = {min:0xFFFF00, max:0xFF0000}; //hide
It is ok to apply different filter for each range.

View 5 RepliesI am building a flash panel that reads metadata from a .fla when it is active in the Flash IDE. This panel is also storing metadata in the .fla and that is no problem. What is problematic is that I do not know how to stop the event listener from listening for onDocumentChange.
I want it to listen for it as long as it is open, but when it's closed it should clean up after itself because trying to read metadata every time a new document is selected is not a very nice thing to do.
I have tried to listen for all kind of events in the panel to detect when the user closes it, but with no success.

View 1 RepliesI want to be able to select a item (image, movieclip etc) that has been added to the stage in Flash and access its file name.
So if I drag a image called 'imageOne.png' onto the stage, I want to be able to access its name, 'imageOne.png', and pass it to a Extension for Flash that I'm building. I know I can get details from the library, but not from the items selected on the stage.
Can anyone tell me how to access this information using JSFL.
I made a JSFL command and I am curious if there is a way I can run it from a flash or air project. So for example there would be a button that the user clikcs, and when its clicked it would run the desired JSFL commandd.
