Flash :: Localy Execute Actionscript Bytecode
Nov 24, 2009
i want to execute a piece of bytecode so that it will run in a specific scope ? for example i want to be able to run this code
label.x = 100+label.width
and have it react to a label instance that is somewhere inside the compiled swf. i want the code have the 'this' keyword of my abc code to point to the parent of the label instance. as i understand the eval library at [URL] will convert AS3 code to abc, which has to be loaded in as if it were an external swf. so the this keyword would always point to "global"
in the examples at hurlant the only way to access anything in the loading swf is to create a top-level class without packages i also found this page [URL] actionscript to be usefull. it has a class that allows you to pass data from the scope of the evaluation.
that is something, but what i really wanted is to actually execute it 'directly at' the scope of evaluation anybody know if this is possible ? i just want to create a command line from where i can execute code and also trace properties of the running swf. for example i want trace(label.x) to work, and set properties by doing label.text = "bla" etc...

I've been playing around with ABC bytecode and was hoping someone could clear up a point of confusion for me. I have a simple flash file that places a clip on the stage and has a tiny script to update its position on each frame. The code looks something like:
[Code]....
My question is how does the 'getlex' operation work (I've marked it with ###1). It is passed a multiname which references the 'moveit' method of the class. Unfortunately, the 'name' field in method info seems never ever to get used by the compiler. All methods have the empty string as its name (Shown above as the unnamed function at ###2).
How does the flash player link the multiname to the unnamed method? There appears to be no provision for this in the AVM2 spec. I know it's possible because commercial decompilers like sothink manage to determine the method name. I'm just not sure how they do it, or how the code could ever work.

I'm creating a simple drawing application that adds new Shape objects to a MovieClip "canvas" every time the user clicks and drags. The problem is, I'm noticing that even though the MouseEvent listeners are set to the MovieClip, the child Shape objects are being returned as targets as well. This disrupts the localX and localY as well, causing the drawing cursor to jump around as the coordinates change from being local to the entire MovieClip to local to the Shape the mouse is currently over.Is there any way to retrieve the most parental target from a MouseEvent?

NOTE: I want to save the actual bytecode for the AS3 class, NOT an instance of it! A class is being loaded in externally and extracted via a URLLoader and then Loader.loadBytes. A single Class is then extracted out of that Application Domain and used in the project. Now, rather than saving the entire Loader (either via SharedObject or other means of storage) is it possible to "extract out" the bytecode of the needed class and all dependencies, which can then be "injected" back into an empty shell or something to be reused when needed?

I am making app that works as stand alone, do some calculations and sting formating. Also it need to save data localy, and be able to reload it when needed.I have read that Shared Objects do that but also have limitation. For example the data can be deleted without user doing it. I need the data to somehow persistend and been able to delete only by the user of the app. As extra exporting data for other user will be usefull, but is not requared

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

I have tried to learn a bit of the way AS3 works behind the scenes by skimming the surface of the AS3 bytecode. I started with this document, and so far I'm at page 25 of 278. [URL] I tried following along a bit, opening a SWF I had laying around and exploring the header. I was able to read the first 4 bytes until I got to "FrameSize". The data type for that was RECT (found on page 16) The problem is, the first value of the RECT is stored as 5 BITS (not bytes). Since it doesn't round up to an even 16 bits per "chunk of data", it throws the "offset" of all bits off.
This means that unless I manually copy down the SWF hex values into binary data, reading this information simply with a Hex editor would not work, correct? Or is there anything I have missed such as some form of padding to offset this etc?

I have a flash video on the first frame of my project. Once the video is finished, it is set to go to the 2nd frame and stop. That part works great.I'd like to set it up to send an email notification on that 2nd frame. Don't worry, this isn't a low-brow type of thing. (The presentation is going to one person and the email will go to him as well.) Anyway, I've created a .php file that will automatically fire the email off when the page is loaded, but I'd like to be able to execute that .php file from my flash presentation. I don't want to launch a pop-up window or anything if I don't have to.

I found the following command online, but it doesn't work for me.
Code:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "skynet.bat");
}
The .bat file is in the same folder AND has an edited copy in a folder called "fscommands", both of which work. The problem is in the flash file. I attached the code to a button (of course), but when I click it nothing happens.

I am getting a strange issue in Flash CS5. I have a .fla file that was working fine up until recently. Now, when I Ctrl-Enter to Test Movie...nothing happens.
I have a Document Class set up (and when I click the pencil button, it opens up the right script, so Flash knows where the code is) called Main. In the constructor, there is a trace('Main()') just so I know the constructor got called, but that trace isn't showing up. A few days ago this same code was working fine, so i'm guessing I knocked around a setting or two in the IDE (not sure which, since Flash has the classpath set correctly)[code]...

i'm wondering how flash works when it comes to executing code. when exactly does it begin executing onEnterFrame actionscript, and what determines fps? for example, if you have your movie/game/whatever set to run at 60 frames per second, does flash wait 1/60th of a second before it begins executing code and determining how to draw everything, and then finally loads the frame when all the necessary code has been executed? or does it begin to do things in advance, before the frame is scheduled to be loaded?

I download Flash CS5 and I try to execute it without an error message coming in and basically the program does not start.The message goes as follows:
Flash.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?ik_treelsActive@CFlashIK@@QAE_NJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library FlashIK.dll.So then I tried to install the updates via the website and the AdobePatchInstaller.exe and I get this:
Some updates failed to install.
Update is not applicable.
So here I am unable to start Flash CS5. Anyone know a way to fix this issue?

I have an weird issue with a fla file. I've worked on a big project for a long time ago. I use cs4 to compile the fla and Flash Develop for the classes. Yesterday I compiled many times and suddenly CS3 stopped executing actionscript. There is no compile errors, nothing. Just doesn't execute the code. I typed a simple trace in the first frame and deleted the symbols on the stage - it didn't trace nothing.When trying to compile this file I noticed that the size of the compiled swf cut down in the end of compiling - in decreases from 700KB to 300KB. I made a size report - it is strange that action script bytes is only 6, but I have many (about 100) classes:
ActionScript Bytes: 6
Location: ActionScript 3.0 Classes
It doesn't run any action script no matter whether it is in classes or directly in timeline frames.
The problem is not with CS3 because it compiles perfect other flash files. Do you have ideas why it happens? I've never seen such problem before?

Using 10,3,162,29 on linux amd64, flash works perfectly on all sites apart from www.telegraph.co.uk whose videos are hosted by url... ooyala emailed me that they do not support linux. I believe flash would work if the telegraph were told how to script their html to execute flash. the flash video appears to load but then fails to execute. No error messages are displayed and no errors can be found on log files.I have seen several criticisms on the web on this issue and there is a consensus that it is adobe which is at fault. I believe in order to protect their reputation adobe will need to resolve this issue; I think it unlikely that the telegraph contract with ooyala allows them to ignore commonly used pc o/s's like linux. There is certainly little point in Adobe investing in linux flash if popular websites fail to provide adequate infrastructure.

I'm building an Air app that uses an .app/.exe file as a bridge to hardware devices.
Ideally, I would like to include the executable with the Air app installer and launch the external program together with the Air app.
How do decide which OS specific file to launch?

var file:File = File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("src/assets/NativeApps");
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1) {

I have a JS function (which changes the dimensions of my swf at runtime) & just want to execute the function when the user clicks the resize btn. The functions are 'flashmin()' to be executed by 'bt_close' & 'flashmax()' to be executed by 'bt_open'.
I assume I need to call it with "import flash.external.ExternalInterface;" but can anyone lay out the necessary code for me, or point me to an appropriate tutorial/s?

I put button whitin menu which on rollon tells flash to go to first frame of menu movie, i.e. initial state. The problem is when I place my pointer over another button, before new frame has occured, it' won't execute rollon button, but initiates another drop-down. this is my site: [URL]
