I'm actually an artist who happened to stumble on flash and have been subsidizing my income with animation projects for some time.My question, query, bane of my existence is the automation of my e-cards.Many many people ask how they can send my cards. Up to now I have been manually customizing cards. whew.I would like to make the .swf files fully automated so people can fill out the "to, from, text message" and e-mail a notice to a customized animation.Is there a generic code I can cut and paste? Beyond basic html code,(seen on my site)
We are currently thinking on getting our apps automaticaly built and tested through a CI server.My major concern is regarding UI tests.. I've been playing with FlexMonkium/Selenium IDE in Firefox but it doesn't really play nice with my app. I'm also testing RIATest 3 but I would have liked the Firefox approach better because it's easy to use for non technical users..A bigger concern is that my app is really complex, using custom events, custom components, ExternalInterface calls.. in order to make it all work smoothly, should I give an automationName to every single component ? How can I handle custom events ? RPC responses time

I need to make Flash AS2.0 SCORM 1.2 fully compliant.I have used pipwerks 1.2 wrapper as a example, and the paging works. However I also need an example that does the following: User name Scoring, Time taken etc.I have tried adding cmi.core.score.raw (In AS 2.0) to get score working but when I test it in Scorm test suit, it does not work, and is not scorm compliant.So can someone tell me how to make flash AS2.0 (and AS3.0) Scorm compliance i.e. what AS code do I need to add by ways of code examples.Also what is the best test suit to test it is scorm compliant?
I am looking for a tutorial or a walk through to make an interactive Storyboard withinteractive maps, videos, audio files, play/pause button. And should be able to convert in multiple languages
I've set a DataGrid to display all the rows in the data provider by binding it to the height of the control.Now that all rows are rendered, I want the DataGrid to grow horizontally so that every column renders the whole text (of Labels).Is there a way of doing this without resorting to a typical object?
iam streaming my web cam to FMS .... i have got a latency of 1 -2 second,,,,,, What should i do to reduce the latency,,,,,, is ter any change i can make in FMS files(xml files) in order to reduce the latency......
I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.
When using HTML and CSS you can automate the size of an "area" of the page an "area" is classed as a DIV and you automate it by setting its height and/or width to auto (usually height only with width given a fixed size)in adition you can set the DIVs overflow parameter
this is vital for CMS managed websites
does flash have any simple functions for achieveing the same result? or if i used flash with a CMS system would i need use AS3 to calculate the total height and width of all child objects and set this number as the height and width of the pearent object? (with HTML/CSS i would use javascript to do this)
I have searched everwhere on the internet for a solution, with no luck, so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.I am trying to make a kind of interactive tv. I have eight scenes and each scene has four choices of movie clips.A user picks one clip from each scene, maybe with check boxes. This generates a playlist which is loaded into a flv player which in turn plays the eight clips in order.
I have about 5 movie clips (MCs) and I want to play all of them one at a time automatically. How do I accomplish this with as 3.0? I'd like to be able to add/remove MCs from the slide show occassionally and I 'd also like to be able re-arrange the play order of those MC as well . I am learning AS3.0.
testing a Flex app without static Automation IDs attached to components? All of the elements in the apps are generated .....
We've investigated FlexMonkey but it appears to be incompatible with any app that utilizes the ExternalInterface. RIATest's scripting language leaves much to be desired...
After all what I've read on this topic, I know that there is no way to do automated file upload from browser without some kind of "elevated permissions".But, elevated permissions is something what I have, bacause the application runs on intranet and user currently enables access to ActiveX control that makes it possible to do some document scanning using COM. Then a scanned document saved on file system needs to be uploaded.Now, the only browser requirement is IE7+ compatibility. But with IE8, the only way to set value to <input type="file" ... /> is manually clicking "browse" button.
Is there really no way to set value to input form field, even if the site is added to trusted sites and full access for ActiveX code is enabled?The same seems to apply to Flash and Silverlight, security policy makes it impossible to upload file without user manually selecting it. Silverlight probably could do it in OOB mode, but that is way toointerruptive if a user has to click to enable out of browser mode every time.ActiveX and Java applet could probably do it. If using <input type="file" ... /> is not an option, is there any lightweight (possibly free/open-source) ActiveX control that would handle uploading from file system?
updateI did investigated all the options quite in depth back there, and it turned out it's the paradigm of security model which makes it impossible to do automated file upload from the browser without user interaction. That means the use must either manually interact to upload file or confirm some ActiveX control or similar plugin to do that job. If you manage to find a way to upload without some special plugin with elevated permissions, you probably found a security hole, which will be fixed soon. However, that's the way web brower technologies are designed to work.
I have a flash intro for my website and I want after the flash is finished to automatically open an external link, how can I make this? This is the index.html:
I've just been tasked with finding automated actionscript frameworks. Can anyone offer the best out there? I'm just beginning to write the code for my project. Is it better for me to keep my MXML and AS in separate files so I can more easily integrate with any frameworks....or does it even matter?
So I have an AS3 flash project with A LOT of assets, roughly 1000 at the time being but that may expand to several thousand later. They are all images but half of them are Animated GIFs so I can't import them at runtime. I considered simply dragging them into the flash project but I don't seem to have any control over the naming scheme. Basically, what I want to know is:
Is there a way to automate importing and renaming of flash assets, like "Import these 1000 files and export them for Actionscript with this name"? Additionally, is there a better way for me to be doing this? I've tried [URL].. AS3GIF but it struggles with larger animated gifs like the ones I'm working with (650x450).
We're currently developing a flex web app and our build situation is far from ideal. At present we're (as in individual developers) just building using FlashBuilder and deploying manually. The programmers are currently screaming bloody murder for two reasons, though:The lack of CI is like going back to the stone ageWe don't much care for FlashBuilder(Note: We're only using FlashBuilder because it was the easiest way to set up a flex project in conjunction with Away3d and get it building / rendering correctly -- it's a stopgap solution).As a predominately .NET development shop, we're used to doing continuous integration as well as continuous deployment. Ideally, we'd like to get something comparable to this for our flash projects without tying ourselves to a particular IDE.
Requirements:
The build process must be:
.. runnable via the commandline .. runnable on both developer and CI build machines (and certainly not requiring an IDE!) .. preferably as IDE-independent as possible (pragmatism will kick in though; if this causes a lot of friction we'll just pick one). .. able to run on Windows (we develop using Windows)
We don't mind a touch of duplication or a few manual steps (e.g. tarting up the build scripts if we add a new project via an IDE, or generating one configuration from another if tools exist), but the less duplication / maintenance required the better.
I'm doing a AS3 project in Eclipse and trace alot of values. I though it would be nice to have a toString() function in every class, at the bottom of each class as the last function, but i dont want to do this by hand for 500+ files. Is there a quick and good way of doing this automated?
At the moment I'm using Selenium-Flex to write functional tests for a video playback app.At the moment, I need to test that the app behaves appropriately when switched to fullscreen mode - make sure that the control bar is in a reasonable spot, the video resizes appropriately, etc., and of course to do that I need an automated way to make Flash Player go fullscreen.
For good reason, Flash's security features prevent being able to fullscreen except in response to user input. Actual user input, a javascript callback being called does not count.Is there any way to disable this security feature on my test rig, so I can actually run my automated tests on fullscreen mode? Barring that, is there any way to put Flash into fullscreen mode externally, so I can hack it up to work that way?
It works by reading an existing Class file, parses it, generates an Interface-like .as file for it, and saves it locally, all from within FlexBuilder. It works perfectly but I'd like to improve it by having it automatically open, modify and save the files with only a few user clicks required.Currently I'm using FileFilter, but this requires that the programmer manualy select each file to parse, and then manually select where to save the output - it's tedious.Normally I'd simply use AIR, but because of my company's security policies I am not allowed to create my own AIR applications.
I have a professional license of Flex 3.3. This allows me to create applications using the data visualization components (charts) without watermarks. However, all of release builds (test, production, etc) occur on our build server.
The build server only has the Flex SDK installed (not full Flex Builder). As a result the SWFs compiled with this SDK contain watermarks on all the charts. How can I apply a Flex Builder Professional license to the build server to remove the watermakrs w/o installing Flex Builder?My build environment is Flex SDK 3.3 + CruiseControl.NET + NAnt.
I am making my website by loading each of the external pages in to the main swf file. I've used a tutorial and it manages to load all of the correct pages when the corresponding button is pressed, however I can tell that the Unload isn't working because each page has audio and I can hear them playing over the top of each other when I navigate through the pages.
Here's the code.
Code: var Xpos:Number = 0; var Ypos:Number = 102; var pageSWF:MovieClip;
So I've been working on this website for quite a while now. It's my first website fully in flash. I finished it in the beginning of November and have been slowly fixing bugs here and there. I'm just wondering what your thoughts and comments are? [URL]
I am trying to remove a FLVPlayback. When I do this it visually removes it but the video is still playing because I can still hear it. I've removed the container child that holds it & I even tried removing the FLVPlayback itself, still keeps on playing.
My header swf on load took longer than the hobbies swf. It is surpose to appear only after the header swf is fully loaded. See link below.
[Url]
Is that any properities/condition I can use to check that the 1st SWF to be fully loaded (return true value) b4 proceeding to load 2nd SWF using do while statement.
