View 2 RepliesI have a question that's so trivial and obvious that I can't beieve it hasn't been asked and answered hundreds of times. Yet, I can't find an answer.Is it possible to do a "search & replace" across all the .as class files in an application?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the Profiler for the first time so I don't know much about it. But it doesn't seem to work.I run my project under profiler, it says it is running, but no window shows up. Nothing. I can see the project's icon down there but I see no window at all.Can this be cause by the fact that I'm using Flex 4.5? You can the app in the dock and it shows its live objects, but I don't see the apps' window and cannot interact with it. The app is just a simple 400x400 window with some black shapes in it.
View 2 RepliesMy htmlText in AS2 looks like:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Detroit Central City</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">has served over</FONT>
[Code].....
This replaces the 2 but of course also replaces all the other instances of 2 in the htmlText as well. Is there any possible workaround? Can I exploit the fact that the other 2's are inside quotations and someone not mess with those ones based on that fact?
it is possible to do search / replaces in script, text etc over multiple files? If not, is there any 3rd party software available to do it?I have hundreds of files I have to make the same change in and just wanted to find out before I have to do the mind-numbing process of going through them all.

I was wondering if there was a way to code a loop so that it searches through a string and replaces a specified word that it finds with another.
View 1 RepliesI found this handy function...
String.prototype.replace = function(find,replace){
return this.split(find).join(replace).toString();
}
// Example:
foo = "Let's replace all the e's in this sentence with an o.";
trace(foo.replace("e","o"))
How would I replace the first "e" with "a", the second "e" with "b", etc...

I'm having trouble setting my text box correctly after I do a search and replace. Should be obvious but my variable that I'm passing in is called songTitle and the text box instance name is songTitle_txt. Here is my current code.[code]
View 1 RepliesI recently discovered the Project panel with the Flash application. I'd like to start using it on a regular basis, but I can't seem to figure out how to do a multi-file search of all the AS files included in a Project. From what I can tell, the search functionality within the Flash app only looks at the current document. Or is there a way to do a global search for a text string within a Project?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash project consisting of 25 separate .swf file. each file has a audio narrative in it which is controlled by "play", "stop" button.the way my project works now is every time you unload a current .swf and load a new one, you have to press "play" to turn on the audio narrative. since there are 25 narratives in total, you can see how annoying having to press "play" every time you load a new movie would get.
what I am trying to do is add a global audio control in first "index" movie which would allow a user to globally turn the audio narrative "on" or "off".so for example, if they like to hear the narrative, they can turn audio on and have the audio start automatically each time a new .swf loads. if they choose to turn the audio "off", then the audio should not come on automatically.as a added twist to this, I would like to give my user an additional control over the audio by allowing them to use the "play", "stop" buttons within each of the .swf files.

View 2 Repliesi'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.
I'm trying to create an object/variable in my .fla file which will be accessible to functions located in my .as files. How do I do this?
Example:
Code:
// code in timeline of sample.fla
var player = new myObject();

Normally, I would get an error from the second code block, saying that it doesn't know what "player" is. So how is this done correctly?
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.
I am a beginner looking to build my first Flash product. I am attempting to replace an existing PowerPoint, which is all text and picture based, and make it less boring by using Flash. I need to replace the pictures with about 25 short video files all under 30 seconds. Is it worth it to do this in Flash?Is there an existing template for this type of project?

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.

View 1 RepliesI am doing a video library. Each category has it's own XML files that feeds it data. Everything works great.However, when I Exported the Release Build. I noticed those XML files are gone(i.e. never got exported). I don't understand why.

Like a setting in the preference that I need to fix?
