It is very difficult to find good resources for Haxe informationI have an FLV movie in the same directory as the SWF I am generating. I cannot get the FLV to play. I can get this working in AS but I need to know what I am doing wrong in my Haxe code.
var mc:MovieClip = Lib._root;
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);

I'm having some trouble getting Haxe to play audio files in Flash 8.At the top of my hx file, I have:import flash.MovieClip;import flash.Sound;and, within the class itself, I preload a lot of image files along with the names of the audio files.The idea is to do a slideshow with audio content. Basically, display the first slide and play the audio associated with it.Then, once that audio is finished, move on to the next slide and next audio file. I have the slides fading in and out okay but when I tried to add sound, nothing comes out the speakers.The following code is what I'm doing - the sound file associated with audios[0] never starts playing and I'm at a loss as to why.
class Whatever {
static var master : MovieClip;
static var slides : Array<MovieClip>;

I am mostly intersted in modyfing the components appearance in Flash (CS4) than pulling an swf file which I could include in swf-lib. Right now I am kind of forced to make it via movie clip export it, and build functionality in Haxe.Which as you imagine is not handy and timeconsuming (especially that fl.controls used to work for me very well, I barely had to modify any mechanics, sometimes was just adding functionality).
View 1 RepliesI need to port a C-like enum to Haxe:
enum Items
{
item1,
item2=0x00010000,
item3=0x00010001,
item4,
[Code].....
But Haxe doesn't allow default value it seems. How can I do this? My real enum has hundreds of entries and for those with default values I must preserve the values.
I am having some trouble figuring out how to overload a function in Flash using haXe. I know that Flash does not allow overloads but can accept function parameters without a type declared, but I am unsure as how to replicate this trick in haXe. EDIT: Since this does not appear to be possible, are there any known tricks that can be used to get around this limitation?

I might be missing something obvious, but how do I reference a property indirectly? E.g in javascript it would be: if(propName in obj) return obj[propName];
How to say the same in haxe? The object in question is Dynamic<String>, flash.display.LoaderInfo.parameters to be specific.
What are the common ways of creating drop-down menus for Flash with Haxe?
I've used a variety of "drop-down" menus:
drag-and-drop "combo boxes" in C# Forms
<select> in HTML
UIPickers in iOS
Now I'd like to create something similar in Flash. Note I'm not using Flex per requirements that are out my control.
I'm quite new to Flash. So far it looks like I'll extend Sprite and perhaps use some HTML/CSS for styling.
I'm trying to build a simple flash swf with haxe that shows the output of my webcam. I want to swf to be embeddable and the size to be determined in the html. So my html looks like:
<html>
<head><title>Web cam</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#dddddd">
[Code]....
This creates the swf file that shows the webcam output but with some big white bands on the right and bottom. I want to make the webcam image to fill all the flash object size.
I went through many links like this,this and this, but not getting good direction to move with. I need to implement some flash content in my iPhone app. good tutorials to move on with the conversion process.
Suppose I am having a flash air iOS app and I need to convert the whole app in objective c for say adding some features like APNS then I have to do some needful. I want to convert the air iOS based app in objective c for same thing and hence need a tool like Haxe.
In haxe I have a DropDownMenu class that extends MovieClip:
class DropDownMenu extends MovieClip { ...
TextFields are added to DropDownMenus (about 50 TextFields total):
// in a loop in DropDownMenu new method
addChild(myTextField);
When a DropDownMenu is displayed the items further down are hidden as the menu goes off the bottom of the flash player. How can I make these DropDownMenus scroll?
I've considered doing something on the rollout mouse event. However I imagine MovieClip provides some mechanism for scrolling its contents.
I have a game loop written in Haxe/Flash. For some reason it slows down over time. At first it runs reasonably, but my laptop fan starts spinning up and it gets slower and slower. Why would this happen?
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am having trouble incorporating graphical assets created in Flash with my haXe code.
In the Flash IDE, I've created a symbol with the linkage name "MySprite". I compile this into assets.swf. I know that to use symbols in this .swf from my haXe code, I need to add the following option when using the haxe compiler:
-swf-lib assets.swf
I'd now like to write a class called "MySprite" which is associated with this symbol, like so:
class MySprite extends Sprite {
public function new() {
// ...
}
}
Basically, I'd like to achieve something similar to the technique presented in this tutorial:
package {
import flash.display.*;
[Embed(source="assets.swf", symbol="MySprite")]
[Code]....
It's unclear from the haXe documentation whether this can be done, or what the syntax is for doing it.
In summary, I think my question is this: How can I force hxcpp to compile haxe code for Flash 8 ? Here's where I'm at. I'm new to haxe, and am trying to get a sample from here: [URL] to compile using hxcpp, in my tests to see how haxe compiled apps work on the iphone. I've gotten other samples to compile fine and put them on the iphone, but when I compile this sample, it complains with things like:

View 1 RepliesI have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);
View 7 RepliesI am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
i need to steam an .ask file form an remote site is it is possible to do in flash ......
View 1 RepliesI installed FDT5 and it gave me a warning about missing APIs. But at the FAQ it said the APIs weren't needed to use haXe. Yet while trying to follow the haXe FDT5 tutorial, it says to create a new FDT project. But FDT5 won't let me do this. It gives an error that the required SDK's aren't installed. So do I need to install Flex anyway? Or is there something I am doing wrong?
View 2 RepliesI'm thinking about using Haxe in place of AS3.What are the disadventages of that?Difficulties with using native AS3 ibraries.Difficulity of debugging after language translation.Haxe is quite young, it may have some rough edges. Does it?What are the adventages? I've heard:
Performance.Multiple targets (But I don't see how that is useful)Better typing that AS3 Maybe better syntax.Haxe is big enough that there should be more. What are the pros of Haxe?
Edit:If there are no real disadvantages then why Haxe is not replacing AS3?
I am trying to make a swf with one FLV playback player and 6 buttons. I've got 6 different videofiles that I want to have linked to this swf. Some of the videos are quit large.When starting the Swf, the first video has to start, after playing it, it has to stop. Then you must be able to choose which video to play by clicking one of the buttons. I don't want to have small thumbnails of the video, just plain and simple buttons.I have to have all my files, both fla, swf and xml files in the same directory (I cannot have them stored in different folders, since I have to upload this to a cms system which has limited upload properties).
I've tried to find the right script on the internet, I'm not very good at scripting myselve, actually rather poor educated there.It seems to me that I have to make an xml file with a list of all my videos, I have my default swf ready, with a FLVplayback and buttons.Now there's just the coding part....
I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

If you go to the website: [URL]. The white square is my embedded flash swf file, but as you can see it isn't playing. In Flash, when I test the movie, it plays beautifully. When I put it on my webpage, it's just blank. What bothers me is that I embed Flash swf files frequently with zero problems. The only difference is that this is a video. The swf file is properly uploaded to my server. I've attached the swf file for reference.
The html is:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="320" height="240" id="FlashID" title="TDR">

How to play .wav file using as3 in flash through the url?
View 6 RepliesHere is my code
onFrame (1) {
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("http://www.mysite.com/spot_mixdown.mp3 ");
mySound.start(0, 0);
}
that play .mp3 file from my website at the first frame. It's work for me!
But when I update spot_mixdown.mp3 (change sound inside but use same filename) on my website and then reload webpage, a sound is not change.
I am putting together a website that uses a templating system. It contains a plugin that lets users upload/share music files so anyone can listen to them via the website's flash player.
It works with mp3 files only. Is there a way to make the player play other formats such as wav, wma, mp4, etc?
My goal is to make a wide map using only one square image. Using actionscript 3 the solution is to simply make new Bitmap from the Loader:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("xyz.png"));
this.addChild(loader);
var duplicationBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(Bitmap(loader.content).bitmapData);
Unluckily, Haxe API doesn't allow to do that. I can't get bitmapData from loader content
I am having trouble with editing my flash template in flash cs4. When I try to play the fla file in the timeline it does not play everything in each layer.
