just like facebook game, I see that even I am playing facebook social game, it still have some downloading when I click on an item for the first time, or just by doing something new. Is that people can divide flash into many parts and connect them when they need?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
I cannot pre-view a flash movie in a php.page. Question, How, where, do i store a swf file name and location in mySQL database and then use this data to call it in the application?
View 1 RepliesI have this class I call "ObjectPool"[code]...
The big thing is it has to be returned as this array of objects describing the items, because it is being passed to an external application and that is how it excepts it.

View 1 Replies[URL] I got partial success with the tutorial above, but couldn't figure out a few things.
1) How to save the date and time to the database? Based on web search result on how to find date or time in APS, I thought I could do
[Code]...
but the ASP generated errors on the 2 lines.
2) When executing the file (getURL("http://yourSite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post");
}), it always opens the processForm.asp file in a new window. Can it be executed in the same window or just being hidden?
The tutorial is old, and I wonder if there are new ways to do the things with CS4 or CS5?
I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

View 1 RepliesWe are planning a desktop client application with Adobe AIR. The client app will be delivered to our customers with a database, which contains monthly updated marketing data provided by our company. As different customers will buy different sets of data from us, for example, a customer is only interested in marketing data in a specific product category, while another customer need all data in a certain region. After a customer installs this client app, new data will be emailed to the customer every month.
So, the requirement is to keep the data accessible only by the customer who bought it. After reading through AIR's secure local store and database encryption feature, I came up with the following design: each customer will have his own secret key (stored in AIR's secure local store), the secret key is used to encrypt the data that the customer has purchased. Of course, the monthly data that we sent to the customer will be encrypted using the same secret key. So my questions are: is AIR's database encryption and secure local store secure enough for this use case? If someone gets the encrypted database file, can he decrypt the DB?
Is there a way to access all exported symbols in a *.swf file?
I mean all the symbols that are marked Export to Actionscript in the Library of Flash IDE. That way I could use getDefinition() class without having to know the name of the symbol beforehand.
This is for an internal tool made in AS3 that will work along a framework, which needs to perform some operations on every symbol of a *.swf file. So performance isn't required, and a hackish solution (accessing ByteArray of the swf or something like that) is valid.
I ended up using as3swf to parse the ByteCode of the *.swf file and read the class.
Here's a simple function I made that returns an array containing the symbol names, ready to be used with getDefinition(). You must pass in a ByeArray of the *.swf file.
private function getSymbolList(bytes:ByteArray):Array {
var swf:SWF = new SWF(bytes);
var ret:Array = [];

Let's say I have Class Holder linked to a MovieClip holder_mc. holder_mc has a child held_mc that has a Graphic Symbol pic_gr. pic_gr has multiple frames.
From the Class file of Holder, how would I change the frame of pic_gr? I also didn't see a way to name the instance of pic_gr, is that right?
I have a fairly complex symbol with a few moving parts, and I want to be able to access a label on the symbol to add text. When i just load the clip
PHP Code:
var x = new fm_Input(); // instanc in libraryaddChild(x);
it shows the default text.

I have a package that extends my sound class that I want to also control the alpha of an existing symbol on my stage. I have read that this would be ideally done through some sort of event listener but I can't find a way to do it. Basically, my package generates a wavelength that I want to control the alpha of an existing library symbol. I have gotten examples to work the way I wish but can't seem to get my package to access the main .swf's library.
Here's the code:
package {import flash.events.SampleDataEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
/**
* A dynamically generated binaural beat carrier wave Sound with frequency easing.
*/

Upon the stage of my flash movie, I have several symbols (movie clips) which I need to address dynamically using a loop. The symbols that I want to address all have instance names beginning with the string "lamp_", they then each have a different number concatenated on the end to distinguish between them (e.g. lamp_1, lamp_2, lamp_3.....).

I'm doing an application adobe air with Flash CS4, in as3 , I'm really don't need a database, but a small file database it gives me some adventages, just I need a little file, with 2 o 3 tables for a few data, no much that 50 I think. I look for some kind of database that don't need instalation(important), if with a dll, or something similar (it's only for windows). I google for the last 4 hours but only I find mysql, and I don't want any kind of motor working. MS Access, it would be ok, but I haven't found information.

I'm making an application (web based) using flex and i have a requirment to access the SQLite database on the local system. There is no server running and i've decided to give them the link to the html file and see how that works out.
So in the root directory, there will be all required swf, html files, etc and a .db file. Can i access that database thro the flex web application ?
