Flash :: Make FDT Always Build And Run Main File?
Sep 4, 2011
When I push F11 in Flash Builder, it does a full build and runs in the context of my main ActionScript file. When I do the same in FDT, it builds the last selected file in the Flash Explorer pane and runs in the context of that. While I can see how it could be useful, I'd much rather always run in the context of my entire application. How can I make FDT always build and run my main file?
Possibly relevant: I imported the project from Flash Builder into FDT.

i've been trying to make a presentation which is build out of several animations located on the main timeline.I wanted to use frame labels to navigate back and forth in the timeline, so I created back/next buttons and used switch/case code on them based on the frame labels.each animation has a label and a stop(); command at the end of it, right before the next animation.the code for the next button looks like this:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click_handler);
function click_handler(event_object:MouseEvent)
{
[code]....
problem is at some point it stops working. i've added the "default: play();" code to try and fix it but it only goes so far.

I have to make a project for school. It will be like a tutorial, but into an application. I already made a part of it in MXML and a bit of action script but I encountered a few problems that are over my newbie limits. So the Flex Builder 2 makes a SFW file, in the main folder of the "project". I want to make that SWF file my main executable file. I have a folder with some pics, and another folder with Action Script Files. The code lvl that I know atm is ABSOLUTE BEGINER... I don know how to make my SWF file have a specific name when I run it.Here is a picture of a training exercices that should make thing more clear:Some people told me that I should use a HexEditor and stuff. Is it ture(what u think?).
Next problem. I dont know how to make the Stage to be fix. I mean.. I dont want the stage to be resizeble. I tryed to change the stagescalemode but that wasn't it. I toke a look at the help files of Flex from the net, about the Resize action and SystemManegment, but I didn't find out what I wantend.

I want to make a preloaded for loading the main content of the swf file. I put my main program code on frame 2 and put this code on frame 1:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.net.*;
[Code].....
My issue is it does not seem to track the progress. The trace statement in the onProgress function only displays after it is fully loaded. I thought this was suppose to loop.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

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.

Having an online swf doing some slideshow with loaded pictures from an xml filme, how can I, after building the slideshow with some transitions, export the result movie into a flv/mov/* file?know how you can get pictures from a xml file into flash and then proceed to build the slideshow (showing, of course, the swf in the page).What I need is a somewhat hidden swf that would process this pictures and then export the movie into a folder.Example:
-> user uploads pictures
-> user click preview movie
-> pictures are loaded into the flash file
-> movie is built
-> final file is saved into some folder
-> user is warned about the movie being done and read to download

I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?

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 have my main application, which contains several instances of a component that create a grid of photos belonging to a certain category. (the grids, and the photos are created dynamically with a loop).
I'd like to be able to click a photo to run a function that loads the large version of the photo into a separate element that is contained in the main application. So I created a Photo component in my main application, but how, using actionscript, do I change the 'currentphoto' variable in my main application from inside the tileview component?
Alternately I could put the function in the main application (probably more logical in the long run), but how would I call it from the child component?

I have to make a flash product displayer for the main page of their site. They don't know a whole lot about web development (but they know enough), so they keep asking me to do things that I keep telling them I can do.Well, I can't. What I need the thing to do is have the user hit a button, and the product change. They can also hit the back button for the last product. The previous and next product will be visible but not touchable. Almost like a scrolling wheel of products.

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 trying to build a really simple banner that loads from an XML file. The idea was that the client wanted to be able to change things such as font colour, button colour, image links etc but the client would also like to alter the font or font family. I basically want to have a CSS inside the actionscript so that I can set the font family as a variable and change it via the xml. I think this is the best way to do it, or alternatively the client could just adjust an external CSS themselves.

I have an .SWC library with a style.css file inside. The .SWC file is added to my project and the style.css is used this way: <fx:Style source="assets/style/style.css" /> If I want to build my project with an ANT-script it says that "the external stylesheet couldn't be found". In ANT you need to write the path for assets with an leading "/". So this would work: <fx:Style source="/assets/style/style.css" /> But in this case it isn't possible to retrieve the style.css from the .swc as the compiler says that "the external stylesheet couldn't be found". Is there any way to use the style.css inside the .swc AND use ANT to build the project?

I have some code to build a menu dynamically from an xml file.
Code:
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
[Code]....
Which works fine, pulls in the attributes, label, colour and so on and builds the menu. However it hapens all at once as the for loop executes, how would I insert a pause so that the menu appears to build over time?

I'm developing a simple Flash application which has only one SWF file. I want the SWF movie to start playing asap so I don't build a preloader for it. What happen if my actionscript code refers to resources which haven't been loaded yet? For example, the code cause the playhead to jump from frame 1 to frame 20 when the movie has just been loaded up to frame 10. In that case, flash player will? Block the script execution, stop playing, continue loading from frame 11 to 20 (without executing script), jump to frame 20 and invoke script at that frame when it's loaded?
Block the script execution, stop playing, ignore loading frame 11 to 19, load frame 20, jump to frame 20 and invoke script at that frame? Ignore jumping to frame 20, continue executing next statements after the go to frame 20 statement? Or anything else? If flash player doesn't ignore jumping to frame 20, any event is triggered when frame 20 is loaded completely? Note: Answers for the first question should focus on my example, cover all circumstances (such as attach movie from library...)

Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.

What I want to do is load the contents of a file and sent it to an mxmlc compiler as an argument parameter. I can load and read the contents of a file using loadfile and setting a property value say propery="filecontent". But the problem is I can pass it into the mxmlc (flex) compiler. I'm not able to pass it (tried with ${filecontent}) to the arg line. Its gives an error: "value contains unknown token 'filecontent'" How will I pass the contents of the file as a argument value to a compiler argument? Edit: The problem is with the include-resource-bundles arguments. When using command line it works. But using ant build doesn't. Do we need to manually provide the name of resource bundles by generating the resource file?
<exec executable="${MXMLC}" dir="${APP_ROOT}/src" >
<arg line="-locale 'en_US'"/>
.. .. ..
<arg line="-include-resource-bundles
[Code]....
which doesn't work and gives and error -> command line: Error: configuration variable 'include-resource-bundles' value contains unknown token 'resources'

I'd like my users to be able to easily navigate their files, which live on my server. Is there an obvious / built in way to build the front end for this in Flex? My ideal scenario would be to have something that looks like the local file browser - but I'm pretty sure that's not an option (although I'd love to be wrong)

However, if i pass in a string for the SOME_VARIABLE , is there anyway i can get the above to work? If i pass a string in i either get no error, or the fact that the datatype is incorrect. Im using an xml file to build up an interface. but the value of SOME_VARIABLE is passed in from the xml file as a string. I want to be able to detrmine which class to create from this string.
