Flex - Automatically Generate Images From SWF?
Nov 17, 2009
I'm looking for something that automatically generates images from the content in some SWF and stores the images on a server to be fetched if the user doesn't have Flash Player installed. The purpose is to at least show a static diagram instead of just a table with data, if Flash Player isn't installed.
It's quite easy to create an image from a DisplayObject using Actionscript, but that requires someone opens the SWF in the first place. I would like this to execute on the server side. Is it possible? Is there a headless Flash Player that could be used with PHP for example?

how can I generate and address Instances of Movieclips like Original --> riginal2...Original3....in a for-loopInside pure Computerlanguage we can use a counter to fill up and read out an array. But how to address a series of Movieclips?Further Question: Can I produce a serie of variables, indexed by the index being part of the name of the variable? And read it out again?Already forgotten where, I read of a procedure like
equal("Original" + String(i)).dosomething();
instead of
Original1.dosomething();

I have some data-crunching code implemented in ActionScript, and I'd like to call it from JavaScript. The related question [URL] mentions the blog post [URL] which tells me how to do this. All I need now is generating the SWF file from the .as file completely automatically, with a comand-line tool on Linux. How is this possible?

My workflow usually goes like this: i create a symbol in Flash IDE with textfields, containers, etc. Then I select "export for actionscript" and type in the classname (automatic declaration of stage instances, of course, is off). Then i create a corresponding classfile in FDT and declare all this textfields and other objects that are in my symbol. This is pretty routine and boring process that takes a lot of time.
Is there a way to automate it? Maybe some plugin for flash IDE that will automatically create a class file based on symbol exported for AS?
Update: So, following the answer Pavel fljŨt provided, i wrote my own command to accomplish this task.[URL]..

i couldn't find a tutorial on this matter so i sorta started making my own hypothesis... what i'm trying to do is: have a gallery of images automatically scrolling horizontally while having the set of images loop. like at[URL]..
here are a couple of my theories and questions for AS commands to have this work:
1) display a range of pixels of an image at certain positions, i.e. if gallery is scrolling to the left, leftmost image when its parts are disappearing out of the viewing area, they become visible at the right.
2) have two instances of each image and when an image is disappearing on left, the second instance of that image comes visible on the right. this I imagine would take up more HD space.
i guess what i was wondering more about is how jager did their gallery where there's only enough images are in a set to be viewed in the viewing area.

In flash there are some n number of images like a list.If i drag on image and drop it somewhere between two images the images should arrange automatically as we changed. I have no idea of how to do it.

I have a slight issue generating a swf using the flash IDE. I can import c300 images via the 'Import To Stage' option but then the program crashes and dies as it runs out of memory.
Is there a way to create a swf by reading a folder of images? PHP is a possibility but the swf capabilities are limited.

how can I generate a swf from text and images, Example I have these files:mytext.txt and some pics image1.jpg image2.jpgThis files, was parsing from a pdf file, and I need to inserts to a personalized swf (or fla). Yes, I need a free solution, like ipaper "http:[url]......" or flippingbook "http:[url]....."... how this projects can works? because ipaper can read text and select it, it's not a image!! maybe they have an OCR but in AS3? in general, both projects have amazing characteristics.I know this is complicate but I really need a free solution and not an "unpersonalized" projects, that we can't change.Now, coming back to a first question, one possibility is a swf compiler (I could be wrong), how can I manipulates an adobe's swf compiler?(by cli or code?).

I have this array that contains the names of various images I want to load into Flash
var imageArray:Array=["image1","image2","image3","image4","image5","image 6","image7","image8","image9","image10"];
Now I want to create 10 different buttons with each button loading in an image. I know there's a way to do this with a for loop without having to make 10 different buttons and writing 10 different functions. Not sure how to correlate the members imageArray with the generated btns.

My swf is 600px wide, and most of the pictures does not exceed that. However, some of the pictures needs to be presented in a larger width. url... solves the problem in a great way, by scrolling the images to the left automatically. (for example, check the second picture in Knut Bry's portfolio) My problem is that I can't figure out how on earth I'm gonna do that. Can anybody help me? Or maybe point me in the right direction?[code]

How can you expand the XML gallery (from the tutorial here on [URL] to automatically load the next image, and the next, etc. while the current picture has loaded (and most likely is being viewed for a moment by the visitor)?

I purchased a template from template monster that has a Flash Intro. It has a header with a previous and next button and three photos.When the site loads up the first photo drops into place and text flies out from the sides of the photo then when you hit the next button the next photo drops in with its text and so on.I was able to change the photos and text and all works fine. What I want is for the banner to automatically rotate these three images and texts every 4 seconds or when someone hits those next or previous buttons.
Right now the images/text only move if you hit the next or previous buttons. In dreamweaver I set the Flash to autoplay and loop but that did nothting.

i'm trying to include a number of images in my SWF file not by loading them but by embedding them in the SWF itself. I found the following instruction to do that:
[Embed(source="../graphics/images/ss0.png")]
private var SS0:Class;
Basically, i want to embed a different number of images each time. Is there a way to do that automatically (let's say inside a for loop) or do i have to type manually this instruction for each image i want to include?

An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it. The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name, address, title, description, etc. Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?

I have an Flex-Object with for example 3 properties.
myObj.prop1
myObj.prop2
myObj.prop3
I like to generate 3 Comboboxes to show the data.
No problem if I do it hardcoded in sourcecode.
But how can I find the prop1 to prop3 at runtime?
If next time I have 5 properties with different name it should generate 5 combos.

I'm trying to put an image, generated from some text, in a RichEditableText. Since it's a styled text, I thought about putting it another RichEditableText, style it, then print it to a Bitmap to use as source for InlineGraphicsElement.I use the following code to do that
var txt:RichEditableText = new RichEditableText();
txt.text = name;
// Appliy given styles to the text flow of input rich editable text

I have a java server side project which contains JAX-WS web-services (using JavaEE 6 and the @WebService annotation).
Is there some kind of plugin that would allow me to generate Flex client stubs during my maven build ?
I have taken a look at enunciate, but it seems to generate only AMF client.
I've also tried to look at GraniteDS, but their doc seems a little opaque to me.
Notice my Flex project is compiled using flexmojos, which contains a flexmojos:generate mojo that should be able to generate domain object (however I don't understand how to say it to use domain classes from ANOTHER project, and not from a different folder).
So, is there any maven plugin that would allow the kind of feature described in this Adobe page ?

I have a script that parses some complex XML. When the XML element is of a certain type, it generates a comboBox using the XML element's children to populate the box. I then want to check all of the values of the all the generated ComboBoxes against their correct answers (which is also info stored in the XML file). When creating the ComboBoxes, I added an "id" property. However, it seems that I cannot them use:
dynamicQuestion.id.selectedItem.labelField
to check the answers. However, I am able to get the labelField if I know the variable name used to create the ComboBox.
dynamicQuestion.selectedItem.labelField
This indicates (to me) that I need to dynamically generate the variable name as I'm creating new instances of the ComboBox. But how do I dynamically generate a variable name? If I use
var thisBox:String = "box"+boxCount;
var newBox:ComboBox = thisBox as ComboBox;
I get an implicit coercion error. I also tried changing the creation statement to a function that accepted an argument, "thisBox," but this didn't work either. Conceptually, this seems quite simple, but I'm having a hard time putting it to practice. It seems that the comboBox's id is what is generated by created the box using script (e.g., var thisBox). How do I dynamically generate this name?

I'm building my first website with AS3, and I'm using Flash Builder 4 to create/edit my AS classes. I have two .fla files (preloader.fla and portfolio.fla) which I both published as .swc and loaded them into my ActionScript project in FB4 (build path). When I hit debug, FB4 automatically generates a .SWF in bin-debug folder called Preloader.swf, but in my Preloader.as I have
new URLRequest("Portfolio.swf");
and this Portfolio.swf isn't being generated by itself. Now the real question; how can I tell FB4 to automatically create both .SWF files for me? Or isn't that possible,

I'm trying to understand if it is possible to generate complex PDF files with Flex. By complex I mean add images, styled text (font-family, weight, columns) layout elements with large degree of control and so on. I was looking at AlivePDF library but cannot understand if it can handle more complicated PDF generation than plain text.
