I'm trying to build a minimum payment calculator and am having a problem with the minimum payment not being able to calculate based on the current monthly value. What I think should work...locks up the browser. I've commented out the line that is giving me a problem in the code below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Is there a way to avoid the copy of the empty folders, based on the current source library structure, in bin-debug folder?I'm using Flex 3.2
View 1 RepliesI am doing a matrix transformation on a Display Object. I got this function from another site, but basically it scales a display object around any point.
ActionScript Code:
public static function scaleAroundExternalPoint(m:Matrix, x:Number, y:Number, multiplier:Number):void{
m.translate(-x, -y);
m.scale(multiplier, multiplier);
m.translate(x, y);
}
But my problem is that I have to do multiple scales in a sequence and after scaling, the points defined in the XML no longer correspond. Let me first say that all the points being scaled around are located in an XML file. They are all relative to the display object's registration point (0,0) when it is normal, i.e. a scale of 1. Also, I have created a class that retains the target object's original Matrix so that the percentage you pass in is relative to the original scale instead of the scale after each call. But basically, with the scaleAroundExternalPoint function by itself, if I have an object that I scaled to twice it's size, the multiplier would be 2. but say I want it back to it's original size. The multiplier would NOT be 1 since that would just leave it at a scale of 2x. It would have to be .5. The important parts of the class are below.
ActionScript Code:
public function ZoomUIComponent(isKeyboardControlled:Boolean = false, disabledAlpha:Number = .25,
max:Number = 2, min:Number = .5, precision:uint = 2,
seconds:Number = 1, step:Number = .1):void{
this.disabledAlpha = disabledAlpha;
this.inControl = InteractiveObject(getChildByName("zoomIn"));
_isKeyboardControlled = isKeyboardControlled;
[Code] .....
It's retaining the original matrix and then calculating based on that EACH TIME. So how would I find the new X and Y values of the original points so that I can scale around them?
I am absolutely new to animation, I have created a movie for web page (using Flash 8)purpose:
--movie is the navigation menu for few of my website's pages.
--uses gotoAndPlay() to play a different animation (in same movie) for each web page.
Works, but late, movie plays from 1st to 61st frame (on 61st frame there is a code gotoAndPlay(1);) then it moves to actual frame number. In the 1st frame of my movie I insert this actionscript:
//code starts
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
var surlPath;

I have a flash file of a snowman doing various activities. He's doing 7 different things (all individual movie clips) and I place each of the movie clips on the first 7 frames, I placed a stop action on each one.Here is the code I used
var myDate = new Date();
var localHours = this.myDate.getHours();
if (this.localHours>=6 || this.localHours<=18)

I am attempting to create 360 degree spin-around product viewer. So far I have a movie clip with 24 frames, each one with a different 15 degree angle shot of the product. Upon playback of the movie, the product appears 3D, spinning 360 degrees.
That was the easy part. Now what I need is to be able to click and drag the product to change which view you are seeing (or which frame in the mc you are on) thus producing a spinning effect. How can you code, in AS3.0, that when the mouse is clicked and drug, go to a certain frame based on the current X position of the mouse?
I'm currently working in Flash mx 2004 and am creating a version of 'what happened in history today'. So my final layout will have the following iobjects.
Heading: 'current date'
Title: 'On this day in History'
Text box: Which displays the right description from a text file. history.txt
Image box: which displays a pic related to the current date.
I know basic Flash but have been playing around for ages am having real trouble getting things to work correctly. The main priority is to get the text loaded based on the current date. I have an images folderwhere the pictures are stored with files names related to date i.e. 14feb.jpg and my history.txt file is set out with a line for each date. i.e., 14feb=Valentines Day etc.
how to control the display of pictures by date?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
I'm using a .swf to connect to a socket and stream data as fast as possible for 60 seconds to measure connectivity speed.In other words a speed test.In the past say month or two, I've found Macintosh systems 10.5 and higher experience a significant slow down, In testing I see my socket connect and reach about 2.5Mbps - 3.5Mbps and literally stick as though the .swf was throttling the connection.
This 'problem' is random and appears to come and go. I've tested this in Chrome,Firefox and Safari with all the same results.Using the exact same test on any Windows or Linux OS works totally fine.Admittedly I'm an ActionScript novice however the code I'm using is below and has worked for some time up until recently.
ActionScript Code:
var s:Socket;
var Tbytes:Number = 0;

I have a simple TLF text box on stage. i want to be able to click some words in the text and based on the selection clicked got to some other place on a timeline or set a variable (not a link to an external web page).
sounds like it shout be simple but i cannot seem to find any information about it.
i seem to remember having done something similar years ago in as1 or as2.
I have created a style in which i am defining a font family.When i apply this style to label it reflects the font were as there is no change when it is applied to a spark button.I Tried various way to Apply font style but it doesn't work.Other properties work fine except font family. Even i tried creating skin class and set the font family style of label in it. While previewing the skin i can see the changes but when i apply it to buttonApproach 1

View 2 RepliesI have a TextInput inside a spark Item Renderer. I need to undo some behavior in a library I'm using by stopPropagation of the mouseDown and mouseUp event for the TextInput. However, I would like the TextInput itself to handle such events normally - otherwise the caret to cursor transitions don't seem to be properly handled.
Edit: ok, here's some code to explain what's going on (although it's completely unrelated from what I'm doing, so it's not an exact depiction of my specific situation). As I mentioned above I need to be able to stop the propagation of mouseDown and mouseUp from the TextInput to a component up the food chain - event.stopPropagation() in mouseDown and mouseUp for the TextInput does the trick. However, it messes up the caret / cursor handling for the TextInput itself. Try the code below with or without the event.stopPropagation() and you should see what I mean.

my application needs to allow users to insert rows below the current datagrid row. My solution is to to add a row to the dataproviders collection. This works, but the row does not appear beneath the current row the user clicked on.The Datagrid has a default sort order (date ASC), which re-orders the data...so this seems to affect the position of the row in the grid.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to get the current dir from a flex application?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to setup a DataGrid that contains a column of combo boxes. The values of the combo boxes are defined by data specific to that row. I cannot get this to work though, I'm asking for a solution to this, either fixing what I have below or a recommendation on a different way.One of the columns of my DataGrid has an object derived from a ComboBox for an ItemEditor. The itemEditor is set like this:
<mx:DataGridColumn editorDataField="selectedItem" dataField="type" editable="true" >

Does anyone know an Actionscript equivalent of the javascript getElementsByClassName.
What I would like to do is add a custom 'stylename' to various components which I can then use to get a collection of these objects and therefore process their visibility property.
The idea is I want to hide various components based on what roles a logged in user has - I just want to make this flexible by adding an array of rolenames to a custom property or use the stylename property on a Canvas or Panel etc.
I'm making an App using Adobe Flex/Air. I was wondering if there was a way to get the Operating System the Air app is running on?
View 3 RepliesI'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPservice accurately retrieves all the data.
However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script.

What is the actionscript 3 syntax for retrieving the frame number that our object is currently in ?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to work with a global variable in Flex and it does not appear to be working correctly. In my default mxml file I declare the following
public var appID:int;
This variable keeps track of the session ID across my application for SQL purposes. On another mxml page I call the following code which should update the global variable to the current ID.
// Get the ID
sqlStatement.text =
"SELECT Max(id)FROM applications";
sqlStatement.execute();
var result:SQLResult;
result = sqlStatement.getResult();
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID = result.data[0];
Lastly I run a SQL Update query using the ID as a parameter. My problem is that the FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID is always 0, for some reason the global variable never gets updated, I have checked to ensure that result.data[0] is correct but the value never gets passed to the global variable.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to figure out why I am getting an error when using the chromeColor (or other spark style related items):
<s:Button x="10" y="208" label="CALL" width="185" fontWeight="bold" id="bCall" chromeColor="#F90000"/>
This is the error:
The style 'chromeColor' is only supported by type 'spark.components.Button' with the theme(s) 'spark'.
Yet in project - properties, the theme is set to Spark. I also tried setting it to Halo and then back to Spark. Here is my app definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="800" minHeight="600" width="100%" height="100%">
I have seen references that define the mx namespace as "xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo", but then my mx components break (TabNavigator for example) - not sure if that would fix it anyway. I is using flex 4.1 library (I believe the project was originally created when flex builder was at 4.0 if that matters).
No other libraries included.
Project - properties is set to MX+Spark.
Also, if I remove that chromeColor, the project compiles, BUT there are warnings such as: The style 'borderAlpha' is only supported by type 'spark.components.TitleWindow' with the theme(s) 'spark'. Flex Problem (and others - borderColor, cornerRadius, dropShadowVisible).
At a certain point in an effects execution i would like to execute some code.
Say for example that i have a move effect on objectA and half way through this effect i want to make objectB disapear.
Is there any functionality built in to the spark effects framework to do this or do i need to implement the effect myself by hand?
Is there a way to get a list of all the skin classes that are in the current application? I'm using Flex 4.5.1.
Here is the loop that I'm using now to get all the skins,
for each (var item:Object in styleManager.typeHierarchyCache) {
for (label in item) {
if (label=="spark.components.supportClasses.Skin" ||
[Code]....
The reason why is because I want to list all the skins in the application and then be able to apply them in real time so I can see what they look like.
Apparently there's a problem with the nagivateToUrl function in Flex, namely that it tends to get blocked by the popup blockers in some browsers. A project I've recently joined is using a workaround for Firefox using browser sniffing, but a new feature would be a lot cleaner to implement if I could drop this. whether this problem still exists with current Firefox versions? What about Firefox 3.6?
