I'm making a flash movie (in cs4 as2) with some textboxes that should enter the stage when a button is being clicked. I have made one box that works the way it should, and now I'm about to make several boxes that looks similar (different size/different text though). Is there an easy way to make a copy of the finished textbox, or should I duplicate every object in it to make new ones?

I'm having trouble making a copy of objects in AS3 instead of making references.
eg.
var mainMovie:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var copyMovie:MovieClip = mainMovie;
copyMovie.x++;
I don't any calls on copyMovie to edit things on mainMovie. I was reading that I should try implement a clone method on the objects I want to copy. Surely there is an inbuilt way to do this for most objects.
Is it possible to make my CD copy protected?? So that nobody can create duplicates from it.
My CD contains the main installer that copy all my .swf and main .exe projector file to the hard disk of my client's computer. I am going to create 1000 copies of this project. But I just want to be safe that nobody can duplicate my CD. Is it possible in actionscript 2.0 or any other tool that works for me..
I have a symbol that I have already used and I would like to use the same symbol in another frame(s), except that when i edit the symbol the original object also edits, for example if i delete a part of it, it also deletes in the object that I have already placed, I have tried the 'duplicate symbol' method but nonetheless my symbol still gets modified and changes the way I want it to show it in certain frames.

View 5 RepliesIs there a way to programmatically set flash to make sure it is the most updated copy of the swf? Let me see if can be clearer as I really don't know how to ask. Say I am building a movie and I just changed it, I open my browser and see the old version. I have to clear my cache to get the updated version. Is there a way of making flash "clear its cache" so to speak? I tried googling "SWF updated ActionScript" or variations of that, but calamity ensued.

View 3 RepliesI have inherited a Flex air project and have not worked with trees before. The tree is displaying an xml file hierarchically. The user can make a change to the data. I need to save the data of the entire tree to a file.I can save the currently selected item to a file, no problem. But I need to save all the data from the root of the tree, forward.I would think I could make a copy of the tree, and set the selected item of my new tree to root, or something. Sort of like this pseudo code:
var treeToSave:Tree = new Tree (editedTree);
treeToSave.selectedIndex = 0;
// now save treeToSave to file...
This creates a compile error, but hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do.
I have a graphic on it's own layer (bottom), and a dynamic text box inside a movie clip on the layer above. I am embedding the font. All I want is the text to show on top of the graphic without the massive ugly white rectangle that houses the text.

Is there a way of doing a division with a remainder instead of a decimal? The best I could think of was splitting the whole number and the decimal and then multiplying the decimal by whatever it was originally divided by. If that is the best way, how would I find the whole number, if I round it, it might go up instead of down, which I don't want.

A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.
I'm trying to make a copy of an array filled with Canvas objects. I use this code:
arCopy = ObjectUtil.copy(myClass.myArray) as Array;
What I get is an array arCopy filled with Objects instead of Canvas. Each of these Objects has propersties suggesting that it was Canvas (like uid="Canvas333" or name="Canvas333"), but it's instance of Object class. I've been using ObjectUtil.copy() before but never seen such behaviour.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

Is there a way to make a text box auto resize the text inside of it to fit that text box? For example: If text is too big, it would make the text smaller to fit inside the text box. This is for a dynamic text box btw.

I have this information that is pulled in from a PHP database and displayed in a textfield within flash which works fine BUT when I go to copy and paste that text into another textfield (a note facility) it then means I can't make a line break. I've tried all sorts with the text field and can't see any reason why it wouldn't allow it. Is there something about different text formats that mucks it up?

I am relatively new to Flash and have developed this application using AS3.0.I have a screen which lists file descriptions. The file descriptions are in a movie clip and the movie clip is added to the stage in a scroll panel (instance name aSp). This part I have working fine.The file descriptions movie clip is called AbstractDisplay and it is basically a textarea. When the file description exceeds the size of my box, scroll arrows appear. Again this is what I want.Now to the part I can't get to work. I want to be able to click on the movie clips that are in my aSp Scroll Pane. If I make the individual movie clips that I put in my scroll pane clickable, I lose the ability to scroll the text in the individual movie clips. Here is the code that I have so far. This code is within a loop and I'm only showing the code that sets up the movie clip.
// Setup abstract to place in abstractContainer
mcMain = new AbstractDisplay;// Get new instance of AbstractDisplay
mcMain.name = "a" + i;// Set instance name

I am making a flash game for a school project, and I decided to make a stick fighting game.once the enemy attacks the player their health just drains. The only way I can fix it is if I have a decimal instead of a whole number, but I have the variable of the health in a text box to display the players current health and it doesn't look to good with a decimal number.So, I am wondering if there is a way to make the health decrease by a decimal, but show a whole number in the textbox.[code]

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.
