I'm very new in flash and flex and my first task is to be able to embed an SWF made in adobe cs4 using actionscript 3... the problem is I'm not able to embed it in Flex, it is weird though that if for example i add a sound to the swf file to be embedded in flash i'm able to hear the sound but it is not showing up (not visible) in the flex generated swf file
One other thing is if i try to set the flash swf to be embedded to use actionscript 2 then it gets shown in the flex generated swf but if i really need to be able to use actionscript 3 so no use for that
And when my loading png finally appears it looks like a poorly indexed GIF, especially on edges. Why is it happening? I'm using Bitmap class here, maybe there is something better? Can I control quality?
We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.
I want to reuse the TitleWindow's closeButton inside a simple Flex component I am writing, but I'm having trouble getting it to compile. I copied the code that deals with the closeButton, which looks somewhat like this:
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); }
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE }
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) Insert -> New Symbol Name - test Type - button Export for ActionScript Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code: on(release) { trace("trace"); }
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
A flex app running in a view of my .NET MVC app can load data fine from another route, but submitting data via either POST or GET never invokes the controller action. Interestingly, the only way I can get the action method to fire is by passing intentionally malformed post variables in the http request. Odd. Content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded and I have set authentication to "None" in web.config with no improvement.
I am trying to add a container having some UI components as child in it to a canvas and also want to set the border size only using the action script without MXML,
1) is it possible to add the container that is a lower class in hierarchy from parent to child upward, can canvas addchild() accepts the container as child ?
2) how to set the border of both the canvas and the container ?
i need to do this in action script i have tried but nothing comes out here is the [code]...
I'm new to Flex and am having trouble understanding Events. I think Events are what I want to use for my situation. I have 2 components, addUser.mxml and listUsers.mxml. I access these from a ViewStack in my main application. When I load listUsers.mxml it shows a list of current users in a datagrid via a HTTPService call. When I add a user using the form on addUser.mxml I would like the datagrid in listUsers.mxml to refresh when I return to that view to show the new user. I've tried several different things with addEventListener and dispatchEvent but can't seem to get it working. Can someone help me with this logic?
I have small Flex web based util with single button. On this button click a request is sent to server and the response must be read in the same call.This is important not to wait for response with event handler (which is trivial).Basically this is synchronous call.I am ok with blocking ui and so on.
I want to make a diagram with either flash CS4 or flex builder 3, don't know with one would be the best for the job.More about the task:I want to send in values external to the swf file.The swf-file takes the vaules and makes a diagram of it using x and y values.
does anyone know how to disable that slide animation and just have the action bar instantly change to whatever action bar the next view contains, but still do a slide navigation for the rest of the view. My Action bar doesn't change on every page so seeing the same image reload repetitively in the action bar.
I'm trying to add an event listener to my air application that would prevent the "ActionScript error" window from appearing, so I can handle the error within my application.I was able to find a little information about this from adobe. I'm just not sure what I should be listening for.
I just copied Flex builder's generated html from the tags, and pasted in an ASP .NET page, the page shows up no errors , I can see a grey rectable the size of my flex file but there's nothing in it its blank and I am stumped why?? Why when it's showing up perfectly fine via the HTML file that flex generates.[code]
Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by foreach(notes as note){ [Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class; public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3); }
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?
I'm using Flex's Advanced Datagrid for a project and need inline comments, in a similar style to Excel spreadsheet comments.A little visual indicator should indicate if a field is associated with a comment, and on clicking on the element should open or trigger an action for displaying that particular comment.
Since the [Embed(source="1.ttf", fontName="bla", fontWeight="Bold", imeType="application/x-font-truetype")] is not embeding fonts i want couse of errros like with helvetica i try otherway. Since Flash IDE always work nice with embed fonts. I made a SWF that embed the font i want. After I make a class that have a method that returns the fontname. In my flex app i load that SWF.. set a var to the fontname of the included SWF.
Now what i create a new textfield with textformat set to that fontname all work ok. But the quality of the font is so pixel. I tried the AntiAliasType etc.. no real effect. When i look in the SWF with the embed font.. it looks nice and smooth..
