Flash :: Mass Renaming Linkages In A FLA
Jun 1, 2011
I have an AS3 based FLA that, for various reasons, needs nearly all of the linkages in the library reworked (need to move to a different package namespace).This particular FLA is pretty big, so doing this by hand would be rather tedious.I have considered saving out the FLA as an XFL, and just hand editing all of the XML files in the LIBRARY folder, and then saving out as FLA. Has anyone tried this? I have never worked with XFL files before, so I don't know what quirks I may run across.My problem has to do with loading SWFs and class conflicts because of multiple SWFs using the same package namespace. Without getting into too many details, I know about ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. I am currently loading into a new ApplicationDomain, but that isn't an ideal situation and is causing grief that won't be maintainable in the long run.

Several months ago I created this, The Halo Galactic Map. After talking with a lot of people on their opinions and such, I wanted to take it to the next level and replicate the map found in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 shown here.
Based on my knowledge of Photoshop and some... and by some I mean very VERY little Flash... I took it upon myself and another member of the community to create this.
All was going well until the member decided it wasn't his cup of tea. Basically, he didn't like that he couldn't do it well enough.
Ok, so I've installed Flash and tooled around with it for a bit, but I want to get going. I know this isn't the best place to post this thread - I know there are probably better places - but I just wanted to know where and what to begin with. I have the whole thing planned out in levels, layers, and motion...

So I have an AS3 flash project with A LOT of assets, roughly 1000 at the time being but that may expand to several thousand later. They are all images but half of them are Animated GIFs so I can't import them at runtime. I considered simply dragging them into the flash project but I don't seem to have any control over the naming scheme. Basically, what I want to know is:
Is there a way to automate importing and renaming of flash assets, like "Import these 1000 files and export them for Actionscript with this name"? Additionally, is there a better way for me to be doing this? I've tried [URL].. AS3GIF but it struggles with larger animated gifs like the ones I'm working with (650x450).

I am trying to build an uploader that will take data collected earlier in the form before the upload occurs and then rename the uploaded file with it. I've gotten the upload itself to work, but thus far I have no luck getting any sort of renaming to work, not even by PHP.I tried Loadvars to transfer the variables over and rename it during upload, yet it says "NO" and rejects the post variables when the upload occurs. I even tried loading the variables into an external file and transfering them back to the uploader via cookie, all at the same time. Again it says "NO!", and the file is uploaded as __"filename".jpg. This is my code thus far:
Code:
stop();
////// Other Variables ///////////

I have a PHP script that dynamically passes some variables to my .swf. The variables come into the .swif named like: imageCount1, ImageCount2, imageCount3 etc. I am trying to put these into an array to work with. Heres what I have so far
[code]...
The problem I'm having is when I goto .push the array it combines the strings instead of calling the imageCount variable with the correct number attached. Can anyone think of a technique to work around this or some where I can look to get an id.

I am going to have an XML doc with some "recent news" items in it.I am going to load that XML within Flash and create content within the swf based off that information.At the bottom of the Flash doc, I am going to have buttons to allow the user to loop through the different items manually.
I want to build these buttons on the fly, based on the number of items in my XML.What I thought would be a good first step was to make a MediaClip that contains the button for navigating the separate news items.I have created that and it works well enough. Using the following code, I'm able to generate one of these buttons and place it on the screen:
var ni1 = new newsItemButton();
ni1.x = 0ni1.y = 100;ni1.buttonText.text = "Testing";addChild(ni1);
What's not working is that line that is trying to set the text within the button.The heirarchy of this Component is MediaClip > Button > Textbox. The Instance name of that text box is "buttonText" and the code I posted does not produce an error but it also doesn't change the text within that Text box.

I have an application already created that will upload files successfully, with a progress bar and completion notices and am very happy with the process, but sometimes people upload a file with the same name as an existing file. Is there a way to change the name of the destination file on my server to something more standard during the upload process? I have been using a fileReference.Browse() with capturing all my event handlers through there.

I have... ~1300 "Drawing Objects" (read: Shape) sitting on the stage that were Paths in Illustrator and were pasted in as part of one cohesive image. I need to be able to access all of them via ActionScript, but as with my post on the AS side of this problem, they are all stuffed into a single Shape and not accessible independently.

I am working on a flash project that has many fla files associated with it. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to publish many flash files without me having to manually open and publish them myself. I know in Photoshop there is a batch processing of actions but was unaware if there was one for Flash.

Any easy way to mark an entire package/directory and all subfiles as being [Deprecated]? I'm about to separate a large number (500+) of genericly-coded library files from our more app-specific ones, and need a way to notify developers they are using the files that have moved so they can point them to the new directory. In the meantime I'll be opening them all one-by-one

I'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?

Are there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-

We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?

We are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.

Is the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.
