Flex - Coloring Flash Symbols With Two Objects?
May 24, 2011
I have two objects; background and highlight. Highlight has a certain amount a opacity set to it 45%, so it appears lighter then the background. I want to color just the background in as3/flash builder 4, but when I color the flash symbol, the highlight region also gets colored and I don't want to do that.
I also don't want to have two separate symbols, because then I'll have to add more code and variables.Is there any way to color just the background and let the highlight object just be?

I will redesign a product page that contains products like Vase, Ceramic Plates and more, Customers can customize the colors of the product. Now I need some advice what approach would best fit, I am planning to use Flash/Flex/Actionscript in implementing this; That way I can minimize loading to many jpegs for the product and at the same time making the page more interactive.

I was wondering which IDE choice you flash developer use to write the code....I use Flex Builder for my AS3 only project so the code below will display nicely with coloring keywords. I wanted to know if there are better choices there...Also, does flash developer do the AS3 programming only? Do they do graphic design at all?

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.

It's extremely problematic when you're trying to design something. It plays fine when tested, but you cant see anything that's converted to a graphic, button, or movie clip. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting, etc.
Also, I got an error message about the classic view not loading correctly, and everything's been goofy since. I still can't edit anything in classic view.

After restarting the program, rebooting, and even reinstalling multiple times, this problem still arises. All of the objects I've turned into movie clips, or buttons just disappear. They still work in the published movies, but are invisible in the main timeline. I don't understand the problem. I've started new files to make sure it isn't my movie that is corrupt, but the second they turn into symbols, they disappear. Is there a solution to this that i'm overlooking?

Basically I am followinga book to learn flash animation for the first time. I am o'animating objects that change size' chapter. Here are the isntructions and tutorials for me to do:
1 create a new Flash Document
2. On the stage, ceate a new object in Frame 1.
3. With Frame 1 selected, choose Insert > Create Motion tween. (Flash turns your object into a symbol) There are more steps, but the reason why I stopped here is because whenever I create a motion tween from the insert menu, the object that is on the stage ends up not able to move and I get the following message: The current selection in layer 'layer 1' is a tween span which does not support drawing I don't have a clue what this means,

In my AdvancedDataGrid, I am adding dynamic values to cells by dragging a cell value to other cells. While copying, I am setting the value to listData and setting the Red color to the value in ItemRenderer. Everything is working fine, but when I scroll down/up, the values remains in the cells where thay are supposed to be(as I am setting to listData) but the coloring behaves wierd(as I am trying to set the color in ItemRenderer).
I don't want to store the color of the value, but I should be able to see the dynamically created values in Red color. Is there a way, I can do this? Do I need to set the color to actual dataprovider object and then check in ItemRenderer?

I have a spark RichText that I want to change his color according with the value on text property.
Negative values get red, positives blue...
When I declare the component, I call a method to set up the css style, but when the value changes, the color is not updated.
How can I put a conditional CSS Style? Is possible to create custom skins to RichText component?

I'm creating a game-engine, which will add objects to itself as symbols, and I want to be able to choose how they are "layered". For example, say I decide to model things in a type of 3D, and the Z co-ordinate is used for depth (distance from front), how would I translate this into an object 1 unit away rendering in front of an object rendering 2 units away? The engine programming I've done fine in terms of calculating the values etc., as I have a strong javascript background so that was the easy what with actionscript's neat OO syntax, but getting it to do things visually is a bit problematic know, heh. So far all I've really managed is a nice little loading bar, which isn't really that hard =D
Also, the symbols I create are actually going to be comprised of multiple parts; a base-layer, a detail-layer, and a colour-layer. What is the easiest way to do this? Ideally I'd create the symbol with multiple layers of its own, and simply toggle the detail and colour-layers on/off as required, and tint the colour-layer independently of the rest of the symbol. Is this possible? Or will I need to use multiple symbols and move them in tandem myself?

The company I am working for has a flash component (using flex and cs4) that crashes intermittently in chrome, FF and IE. (so far only win32 platforms)
I submitted a bug report to Adobe but have not heard anything back from them. Their support process seems like a black hole. WE can get a dump from Flash using these steps but after submitting the bug we got no help at all.
We loaded this into MS visual studio but can;t get decent stack information because there are no symbols for the flash stuff.
Microsoft and other companies provide symbols to help with debugging and we would like to get that from adobe. Is there any way to make progress on this?
Does anyone know where to get flash symbols or how else we can make progress?
It is hard to debug the process if the container just dies.
the binary is flash10c.ocx
I just spent a painful hour on the phone with adobe folks - and the final answer from one of them (I spoke to about 8 people) was that they do not have a per incident purchase plan for developer support for flash.

I've been trying to find an elegant way to display MovieClip symbols from a Flash 9 swf in a Flex app. I am rewriting my old game ChipWits (google it) and have a bunch of graphics which I need to repeat for walls, floors... All the graphics are in Symbols with auto-generated classes (coffee class for the coffee symbol).I have it working in a very inelegant manner by putting named instances of each of the Symbols on the stage. In Flex I call a function in the swf's Document class that moves the symbol to 0,0 and makes it visible in the swf:
private var mc_Item:MovieClip = null;
public function showInstanceInSWF(itemName:String):void {
// If it has the property draw it[code].....
and then to take the MovieClip and addChild it in my app outside the loaded SWF.This has me pulling my hair out. I am breaking my swf's up so there is one symbol in each, but again this is very kludgy.

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

i am leaning Flash for about 3 weeks now, and i am quite good in that. I am AMAZED by all cool effects and trying to learn atleast 1 new every day. This tutorial, Coloring Book in Flash , is giving me headache for the last 2 hours. On the beggining of tut, it say to download and open souce FLA file- I saw that there is only drawing in start FLA file, so I make my own. Is that mistake, right at the beginning? If so, where I can find tut in the whole, so I can use my own images?

I'm building a video player using Flash CS4 (hereby referred to as "Flash") to create the graphic symbols and compiling and debugging with Flash Builder 4 ("FB4"). Here are the steps I take in my current workflow: --Create the graphic symbols in Flash. I've created a few different symbols for the player, but I'll focus on just the play/pause button ("ppbutton") here. --In the Library panel, I go to the ppbutton symbol's Linkage properties and link to a class named assets.PlayPauseButtonAsset that extends MovieClip. I do not actually have an assets package nor do I have a class file for PlayPauseButtonAsset as Flash will create them for me when I publish.
--In Flash's Publish settings, I set the project to export a SWC that will be used in FB4, called VideoPlayerAssets.swc. --After the SWC is created, I create my FB4 project called "VideoPlayer" and add the SWC to my path. FB4 creates the class VideoPlayer in the default package automatically. --In VideoPlayer.as, I import assets.*, which imports all of the symbol classes I created in Flash and are available via VideoPlayerAssets.swc. I can now instantiate the ppbutton and add to the stage, like this:

I'm developing a coloring website for kids, so I need some AS3 Coloring tool, or a class that helps in this.I could do one by myself but I have no idea how a tool like that works. One way would be to have shapes behind the black lines, but this way I think would be much harder.
What I need is a tool, where I can use any png 32 bits files.This tool: [URL]is almost what I need, expect the fact that the files with the drawing must be swf format.

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

i've installed the Perforce Eclipse plugin successfully in Flash Builder 4.5.however, the only problem i've run into is that whenever i open a ActionScript file (either one that is or isn't checked out) there is no syntax coloring - it's simply a white background with black text.
i've changed themes so that i have a dark background with different colored syntax but Perforce also removes that coloring, although this time it's the dark background with all white text.

I'm using Zend AMF to send my remote objects to Flex. I've defined a Constant class and created getASClassName() method. Then I've created Action script class in flex.
Objects are send successfully, but they are deserialized to generic Objects in Flex instead of specific ones. EDIT: On network monitor in Flex I can see that AMF value is set to com.my.project.valueobjects.Constant. Although array from event.result contains Objects.
