I need to build a memory managed carousel type navigation. Like scrollviews on iOS. What's the best framework to use and are there any good tutorials on this?It's for various mobile devices and perhaps the web aswell.
View 1 RepliesApparently I am experiencing a can't find managedQuery or ManagedOperation named:getStudentprofile error
As I researched in some forums, I learned that the one causing this error is that I have duplicate instances of my data services in other components...So my question is how can I share my data services to other components? I don't have an idea how. These are the declarations that I need to share to other components:
parentinfoservice:ParentinfoService id="parentinfoService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '
' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/
studentprofileservice:StudentprofileService id="studentprofileService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '
' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/
Anyone know where I can find good a tutorial to help me build a 3d flash carousel in AS 3.0? Or anywhere I can download a flash file or anything I can play around with to figure it out? I would prefer it to be XML driven. I would like to build a carousel like this:
Carousel in 2.0 Only I would like to learn to build it in action script 3.0.
I have a tutorial-based carousel navigation item for my site built, and now new XML content (CDATA) for the carousel can be loaded dynamically into the carousel depending on pressing different language buttons (example attached). After a few fails and tries, all good!
What I am trying to do is apply a preloader for the whole thing. Attached are 3 FLAs:1) 'working' shows the different language buttons working as I have them - the tooltips and expanded icons will show different XML content depending on the language button selected (English, Polish, German, Dutch - haven't created content or translated yet, but you can see different identifiers!)
2) 'preloader' shows the preloader I would like to apply to the carousel item. The layers are moved to frame ten mostly, 'Export in Frame 1' has been un-checked in properties for the 'item' and 'tooltip' library items, and a new layer containing dummy 'item' and 'tooltip' instances in keyframe 5 have been added. The AS has also been changed, but it doesn't take into account the multi-XML change as in 1 above
3) 'bridging' is my sorry attempt to bridge the gap between 1 and 2 above. I think that a separate array will be needed - one for the multi-XML and another for the way in which the preloader works, but nothing that I have done so far can get this to work. I have been banging my head on this since Saturday, the 'bridging' actions layer only contains a slight variation on some of the bonkers theories I have been trying, I've rolled back most of the changes - all to no avail though....
Can anybody please have a look at what I am trying to do and let me know what it is that I am doing wrong, or give me some pointers? The 'problem' AS sits in the keyframe in frame 10 of the 'actions' layer.

View 2 RepliesI am working on creating a carousel type menu, similar to the one found on the Mini Cooper site. [URL].. I need it to have animated buttons and go to specific locations along an arc. I also would really like them to easeIn and easeOut. Here is the start of my code:
ActionScript Code:
botMenuOilSeal.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME ,moveButtons);
botMenuOilSeal._order = 180/3+30; // was 360 but only using 1/2 the circle anyway
botMenuGasGuage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME ,moveButtons);
botMenuGasGuage._order = 180/3+60;

View 1 RepliesI`m trying to build a navigation that displays all the days of a month in a single row. The days should be loaded calling its specific month array. How can I set actions to the itens in the array so I could load an external swf?
View 3 RepliesI found a tutorial that showed how to create a navigation system that would load external SWFs. I am trying to create an image gallery in essentially the same manner but instead of loading SWFs, I want to load external bitmap images.However, when I replace the SWFs with images, I keep getting an error message:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Bitmap@3e91d2e1 to flash.display.MovieClip.at image_Loader_fla::menu_1/isLoaded()
So obviously, it is trying to convert the bitmaps to movieclips. Due to my newbiness with AS3, I'm not really sure what I need to do with my existing code to fix this issue.I've provided a sample of the gallery if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look.
P.S. In the sample I provided, you will notice that on mouse-over, an external will load. The only one that won't work is the first one (Home) as it is trying to load an external PNG.
I have been trying to build a navigation that has a rollout animation but functioning internal buttons. This navigation uses the theory I'm trying to recreate, it seems simple enough but I can't figure it out for the life of me![URL] I tried this variable, but it renders the internal buttons undetectable and is very unstable midanimation (if you rollover it while in transit, the button goes crazy):

I have a site template I customized. in this site there is the possibility to have a loginit works very well, but the problem is that the users rights are managed in the movieclip (action) which is not very easy in useso I would like to manage the users in an xml file outside flash, but I'm not able enough to create the good codemay
here below the login code :
stop();
//disables right click menuvar myMenu_cm:ContextMenu;myMenu_cm = new

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.

View 1 RepliesI'm very used to building things with hard references in mind using AS2. I build it knowing I'm going to put a panel A in _level0.panela_mc and interface B in _level0.interfaceb_mc and Login Prompt in _level0.login_mc.login_com, etc etc.. I always know these will exist and you simply reference them via _level0.whatever. What is the new strategy to managing references to lots of sprites?
If I build a panel in a class method, the var somepanel:Sprite = new Sprite() I create inside the method to hold the panel I'm making will be up for garbage collection if I don't make sure a reference stays intact (via either add it to a display list, add an event handler, etc..). The reference "somepanel" I made in the method will go out of scope at the end of the method as well. Should I expect to have needed to make a class variable ahead of time to store a reference to this? Should I be keeping a class genericObject:Object that holds a list of references to everything I ever make almost like a global registry?I'm just used to AS2. You just create a movieclip and when the method ends, the clip still exists and you know the _level0.ref.ref.ref will always exist and how to get back to it.
How are larger projects managed where content loaded isn't known ahead of time and the layout is rather dynamic. What are the strategies used to manage all that dynamic chaos?Lastly I'm so overly used to being able to target a movieclip using a single daisy chained list of clips, like: _level0.this_mc. that _mc.those_mc. I noticed I can't seem to do this approach with the getChild() approach. using someSprite.getChildByName('this').getChildByName ('that') .get ChildByNa me('those') doesn't work. How do you drill down into nested clips? I did notice I can do it one level at a time, such as: refA = someSprite.get ChildByName('this'); refB = refA.getChildByName('that'); refC = refB.getChildByName('those'); .. Is that what I'm expected to do?

I just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.
I am building little games never anything too big. I'm having fun. I'm getting the following error message 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

So for instance, I've got three .as files called 'Helicopter.as, Game.as, Blue.as'
and I also have a .fla file called Helicopter.fla (These files are all suppose to link together, to make the helicopter game) . In the Game.as file, I have the following;
[Code]....
Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file). And I have no idea how to how to name the API drawn circle 'Helicopter', thus I'm getting an error. So how do I name the API circle to 'Helicopter', so the Game.as file recognises it.
Im confused, I passed a matrix datatype into the this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(); and i get Implicit coercion of a value of type. below is my code.

I have an FPS monitor running and notice that I am getting choppiness here and there, bringing my game from 40 to 27 fps and back and forth at certain stages. I have an idea of where it is happening, but do not know for sure. I looked up quite a few memory monitors but haven't found anything decent yet. Is there a memory monitor that allows you to see the memory leaked and find its location? If not, how about just he memory leaked?
