I've been searching extensively for a way of converting from ordanance survey coords to valid esri coordinates. I've found quite a few pages that convert to lat long (if a little off) but nothing to convert to esri (which I believe is utm.)This is for use in python or JavaScript / actionscript etc - I'm not too worried about syntax more an understanding of the maths involved.

View 2 RepliesWaht is the right way to get 3D coords from 2D mouse coords using Away3D. (version 3.6.0) It's ambigoius problem in general, so there is restriction that 3D point belongs to some fixed plane.
There are some examples with camera.unproject and plane.getIntersectionLineNumbers methods, but they don't work if camera is rotated or plane is not trivial.
Most JavaScript code is also syntactically valid ActionScript 3.0 code. However, there are some exceptions which leads me to my question:
Which constructs/features in JavaScript are syntactically invalid in ActionScript 3.0? Please provide concrete examples of JavaScript code (basic JavaScript code without DOM API usage) that is NOT valid ActionScript 3.0 code.
I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.

View 3 Repliesi want to check in Adobe AIR if given regex is valid. I'm looking for somtehing similar like here: How to check if a given Regex is valid?
I dont want to compare regex and text-value - i jus want to check if this regex is valid. If someone type invalid regex - for example: "x{5,-3}" or "(((^^$$$)//)" or something like this i just need to communicate to him that this regular expression is not valid - its not proper regular expression.
In Java it can be done by:

On my network I have a couple of pc's all running a bespoke server which will return the username of the person logged in when queried.I have the following piece of code.
private function LoopAndList():void

var loopSocket:Socket;
var fourthOctet:Number = 6;
[code]....
Now when this runs it doesn't work as I first thought. The iterations go though. the fourthOctet value is decremented. But somethinjg strange happens. You will notice in the above code that I have a hardcoded IP address in the loop. I have put this there to ensure that there is always a valid connection. So am aware it will always be connecting to 192.168.0.4.
But the connection only happens on the last connect call.
The ouput is:
192.168.0.6
Connecting to 192.168.0.6
192.168.0.5

I am having a problem with my build. When I add a valid statement to the code it will no longer complie and it fails with errors from an unrelated file.I experience these issues building with ant or building with mxmlc on the command line.Adding a valid statement to an myLittleBox.mxml will cause this error.All the errors are in ViewerMain.mxml.This file is not the main mxml file but it is referenced from the main mxml file.Before changing myLittleBox.mxml ViewerMain.mxml had no compile errors.There are no errors related to myLittleBox.mxml myLittleBox. mxml has no references to ViewerMain and only uses spark components ViewerMain.mxml has no direct references to myLittleBox.mxml. Its children's children's children would have a reference to myLittleBox.mxml.The valid statement added to myLittleBox.mxml could be many things (they all break it) including a comment.[code]
I noticed that the Model was using a constant in Viewer 1.This was causing all of Viewer 1 to be built when Viewer 2 is built.I moved the constant from Viewer 1 to the the Model (where it really should have been anyways) and my project built successfully since Viewer 1 and Viewer 2 were not being built at the same time.It makes sense that this would resolve the issue however this is just resolving a symptom of the issue.I am still very curious what was causing the the compiler to fail on ViewerMain.mxml when I add a comment to myLittleBox.mxml.I guess that it will remain a mystery for now.

I'm using Flex SDK 4.5 to create swf files, recently I got the following error when try to open my swf file:
[Code]...
I totally have no idea whats going on with rsl loading step. how to solve this without have to statically linking rsl into swf file?
I've got the following Flex code in an MXML file:
<mx:Label id="lblVersion" styleName="versionID" bottom="0" right="10" text="Version { BUILD::version }"/>
where the "BUILD::version" is meant to be substituted from symbols defined in compiler options:
-define BUILD::version "'LOCAL'"
The Flex plugin doesn't seem to understand the compiler option usage syntax and flags "BUILD" and "version" as "unresolved variable or type"
I was hoping i could get some assistance. I need to create a survey as an executable file and thought of doing this in flash. There are 4 pages. 1st would have basic info and allows the user to select one of three options.. which will then direct them to the next 3 pages respectively.. eg Option 1 would be page 2, option 2 page 3, option 4 page 4.
My question is can the flash file allow the user to input text data and retain it in the file, also upload an attachment. I suppose the best way i can descibe it would be to think of it along the lines of having a word document.. so if you pretend the word docucment is the "Survey software" file.. then when you open word it has questions and hyperlinks to other pages.. and you can also insert/embed other files into it.. Then when you save and close it, its just a word document which contains other files inside. Am i completely on the wring track of thinking to use Flash to do this?
i keep getting this error..and nothing works..here is my php code and i have attached the fla file [code]

View 1 RepliesI was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:

xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);

Is there any way for me to move the mouse to a spot on the stage and determine what the x/y coords are? It's really hard writing some action script and just continually guessing what x/y coord i want until i get it close enough.

View 5 RepliesIf you check my site I'm trying to make [URL] and click one of my buttons the menu/logo/music/.. will move to the coords..
Here's the script I used:
1st frame:
speed = 5;
Frame in which the action will take place:
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
[Code] ....
But if you try to click for example on the "contact" button and after "about" button you can see that my music button (right side) is closer to the main border... so why the mc's coords are little off if you had clicked different button before (or if the mc's coords are different than before)? [note that I need to use Math.floor and Math.round to make it look sharp and that the speed value is for all MC's number 5]. Also my MC location is set up to hole pixels..
I have a texInput component,which is placed inside containers like following
<s:BorderContainer ...>

Now after initialization i want to get the location of my textInput with respect to Application.I tried with with localToGlobal(PointofLocalCoridnate), then it is not giving the correct location of textInput.
I create a few squared sprites and then remove the first one and display the coords.[code] The x coordinate is still 0, though width has changed,getBounds shows correct values.I would expect x to change as well.Because of the wrong value of x, globalToLocal and localToGlobal work incorrectly.If you click somewhere on the left side of the second (still visible) rectangle you get: 2 28 (x=2, y=28)which is good for nothing. The values in brackets should be in stage coords and they are not.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've created a movieclip spawner class and animator class which animate movieclips along a set of x,y points.I've used Greensock's TweenMax to accomplish the animation and I have set the speed to be 1 second between each point. The issue is that when the distance between two points is small it looks too slow.
What I would like to do is somehow calculate the distance between the two points and output a speed in the range of 0 to 1 seconds so that the speed is to be correct for the shorter distances as well as the longer distances.
I have an image gallery that loads images/text through xml, but I'm having an issue with the scolling, I need to lock the ymouse coords right now it scrolls only on the xmouse, basically I need it to work in the scrolling area only, say 400width by 200height..

This is what I have and it tells the Fluid (the place where the above code is) to go to 100,100. that was kind of jumbled but I think I got it all in..
i am working on a survey form in MX-04 Pro. I have the main .swf file embedded in an HTML page. The document's width is longer than the viewable screen so the person taking the survey has to scroll down to answer the remaing questions and hit the "continue" button to proceed to the next page/frame in the movie. When the user hits the "continue" button the next frame in the movie appears but the HTML page is still scrolled to the bottom. Is there any ActionScript I can inclued in the frame or continue button to make the movie/survey appear at the top of the html page when the user hits the "continue" button?#2
Is it possible to make the items in a List component sort randmoly? or maybe alternate between "ASC" & "DESC" order? Furthermore, there would be an "Other" option included in my list but I would like that to remain at the bottom of the list while the other items in the list were sorted randomly?
I've been working in CS5, with an older FLA I originally built in CS3. On the timeline, I have different MCs and button symbols which need to stay in the same coordinate position. Usually if I notice some sort of 'wiggle', I will go and check the position coords by hand, updating the x/y position by typing numbers directly in the Properties panel.
However today, I repeatedly saw the coordinates change -by themselves- after I typed and hit Enter. For example, typing '165' in the Y field changed immediately to '164.95'. With one symbol, this behavior continued, no matter what I typed, with the number changing by 10 pixels sometimes, every time I just selected the symbol. Not only was I not able to keep the symbols at the same coords (I tried making them all 164.95), the 'automatic decimal' numbers would actually change further, as I was trying to correct them. I was only able to resolve this by creating an entirely new MC symbol in the Library, and placing it on a new timeline layer.
I've noticed this sort of behavior before in CS3 and CS4 (the CS4 Alpha slider never wanting to go to 0 or 100%), but never to this extent, or as consistently. It's gone from an annoyance to a genuine problem in my workflow.
How come this PHP Code:
function drop (thumbClip, xCoord, yCoord) {
thumbClip._x = xCoord;
thumbClip._y = yCoord;
trace (thumbClip);
trace (xCoord);
trace(yCoord);
}
receives the variables (specified in a later function) and traces them all right, but refuses to deposit the variable thumbClip in the x and y coordinates being specified?
I replaced thumbClip with a specific movie clip, and the fucntion worked perfectly. Does this mean Flash cannot use variables to set the x and y coords to?
