I've often seen on various websites headings that were created from Flash-based text. A good example of what I'm referring to is on vancouver2010.com , most notably on pages other than the homepage. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to do this automatically with a text generator perhaps, or if I need to manually create each SWF file by hand in Flash if I wanted to do this. I've also seen headers created that appear to have come from a generator of sorts that are just images.
Im trying to figure out a way in which i could replicate hand writting in Flash as2? I basically have a form in flash and i want it to be completed in handwritting, one box in the form at a time. I want to the pre-defined text to 'written' letter by letter?
This would look sooo much better than just having the text box to just appear.
I have been busy building the UI for a class file I wrote a while ago.
The problem I have is in referencing the symbols on the TimeLine. All the symbols have an instance name, and only exist in the first frame (main timeline has only one frame anyway).
At the moment I am instantiating my AS3 class file from a timeline layer using[code]...
I'm in the process of making a web page that'll successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional ([URL]), but as soon as I place in the fixit.js script under the flash object and view the page in IE, all the flash elements turn white. Quote:

Anyone knows how to place in flash files in xhtml files on IE without manually controls by clicking on the flash file.
I am downloading large files in the browser using a swf coded in as3 that makes byte range http requests (using http:url....).This lets me download the files in chunks.Is it possible to manually cache the file byte ranges to the browser cache so that I can prevent wasting bandwidth if the client has already downloaded a portion of the file on the next visit? This would essentially be a "resume download" feature.
From what I can find on adobe livedocs, flash player will not allow this because of security issues. I just wanted to double check and see if anyone knew a way to do this
I'm trying to create an interactive mouse that mimics the hand cursor you see in pdf files and other programs. There's two movieclips I want to use for the cursor. The open hand and the grab. I can get the cursor to work on the open hand, but can't get it to work when I press and want the open hand to change to the grab cursor. Here's my code:
I want to create a notification icon like the the red one in the bottom right-hand corner of Facebook. I tried using a ToolTipManager to create a tooltip but since Tooltips appear in their own layer in Flex and, as far as I am able to figure, cannot be anchored to any part of the page. When the user uses the browser's scrollbar, they move.
I'm loading a few pngs/jpgs externally so they can be swapped out occasionally, and the issue I'm running into is when they are shrunk they become fairly choppy. Is there a way to have flash re-render them, or do something to smooth the resizing as opposed to going in and resizing every file manually myself?
I have a menu that is built using its own AS3 class, when a link in this menu is clicked it fires a function according to some variables passed in from an external XML file.
The menu is made up of four subsections and I want the user to be able to jump to the parent of that subsection from a button that is completely separate from that menu.
What I'd theoretically like to do is trick the parent button into thinking it's been clicked when the user clicks one the buttons in this other menu.
Is this even possible? I'm tearing my hair out trying to think of a work-around, but I have to admit that it comes to passing variables, never mind passing them between classes!
I need help into handling an animation imported in FLV format which I have a 3D object rotating 360 degree in about 100 frames.I would like to control the rotation myself maybe using a drag scroll system in order to back and forth between frames manually
I am trying to use the AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash object in a console application in C#. To do that, you have to set the obj.OcxState to something. I looked at how the Forms designer does that, and it does it this way:his.flash.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)(resources.GetObject("flash.OcxState")));I looked in resources and there is nothing there.My question is, how can I create an AxHost.State manually so I can set the OcxState of my flash object to it?I see that the constructor of a State takes a Stream, int, bool, and a string. But I don't know what to put in the Stream (or the int, bool, or string) to create it.
Is it at all possible to connect the Flash Player debug version to the debugger in Flex Builder using source code? I'm running an app which has no right click menu, and I therefore can't right click and select connect to debugger.
Hi everyone. This should be a simple question. Using flash professional CS5
I'm manually setting up stuff on the stage (authortime). And i've placed an object at a specific rotation. I now want to place another object, with the exact same rotation.
The problem is, i cannot find any way to read the object's rotation, or to specifically set it (ie: by typing in a value, rather than by manipulating editor handles)
I'm looking in the properties window and there's readouts/settings for position, size, scale, a ton of 3D properties, color effect properties, display properties, and filters. But there's no field for rotation. why the hell not! Isn't that a ridiculously simple and stupid omission?
so far the best method i can find is using free transform, and adjusting it manually til it "looks right", which is a very un-exact way of doing things.
I want to use compiled clips to speed up compilation. But I've found following problem: I've got Foo class, which extends MovieClip and is set as 'Class' to one of library's symbol (this symbol is also called Foo). This symbol (Foo) has a MovieClip child, whose instance name is FOO_CHILD. I'm referencing this child inside Foo class constructor like this:
public function Foo(){ childReferennce = this.getChildByName("FOO_CHILD"); }
Now, when I use 'Convert into compiled clip' option on Foo library symbol it complies fine. But when I try to use it on stage, then I've got runtime error (ReferenceError: Error #1056 which says that it is not able to create "FOO_CHILD" property on my Foo class).
I was trying to build an application where a designer has created content on the timeline as a sequence of key frames. Each key frame is completely different. When the application is started I choose one of the frames, move the play head to that frame and stop (using gotoAndStop). Next, by referring to symbols in the key frame by name, I use AS3 to allow drag and drop, and I also do some programmatic movement.
The problem is that when I move to a different key frame on the timeline using gotoAndStop, the symbols that were touched by AS3 in the previous frame, even if they are not referenced by the designer's key frame, show up on the stage. It is as though any DisplayObject that I touch with AS3 becomes divorced from the timeline.
how to programatically work with timeline (MovieClip) content that was manually created by a designer. This just seems like it should be a really common use case. It seems that about the only thing I can do safely with the timeline is to move the play head and respond to events (if I don't change the state of DisplayObjects in the timeline). Also, is there any good documentation on how objects get allocated and destroyed when the timeline plays?
I'm getting a Flash Builder warning message for multiple variable declarations of variable arr1 in the following AS3 [code]...
I could eliminate this warning with a few more if/else statements, but the code runs fine and I can't see why I should add complexity if the warning is acceptable. Would like to hear anyone else's opinion though if you think differently.
Assuming the warning is fine to live with, how to suppress the warning manually in Flash Builder? That is, only the warning for this example; other warnings must still be displayed.
My goal is to simply have the cursor swap to be a hand (pointer) when I roll over a MovieClip. Obviously I could use SimpleButton, but the situation is that I have some enemies that are obviously MovieClips, and when I select an ability to use I want the mouse to show as a pointer when I roll over them.
I assumed this would work:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); mc.graphics.beginFill(0); mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
[Code].....
There are workarounds such as adding a button into the enemy MovieClip and then removing it. Just seems there's an inbuilt way I'm missing.
I am creating a loader for .swf , everything is fine, but I am unable to show the hand cursor. I get an error message : Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 1, Line 26 1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Here is the code i use everything works except I am unable to show the hand cursor (I have disable it for now ): var swf1:MovieClip; var loader1:Loader = new Loader(); var defaultSWF1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1.swf"); loader1.load(defaultSWF1); addChild(loader1); [Code] .....
Is it possible to create a flash file programmatically using C# or VB.net? I have a bunch of handwritten characters in coordinate form and I want to create a flash file that displays the characters one after the other. It must also play sounds while this is happening. The ultimate goal is the convert a pencast as generated by a Livescribe smartpen to a flash file. This pencast file contains the characters as well as the audio.
my customer wants a custom handcursor in a flash application. however, we use a lot of textfields with hrefs inside, in which case the custom cursor should not be displayed, but the normal hand pointer. any way i can find out if the cursor is above a href formatted text?
I have a cursor class and i wanna make it so the cursor change to state 'over' whenever the hand cursor is there. I dont want to add an event listener for every roll over in my page.
Can I create an entirely new XML file using flash? I have become fairly proficient at loading, modifying and resaving existing xml files, but now I need to create new xml files with flash and save them with unique names. Anyone know how?
What I mean is that several jpg file will be sent to the server and replace the images that embedded in the file and a exe file will be created from the new file.
I know that I can keep the jpg outside the file and just call them dynamically but I just need to use them in that way.
Is there a way to create a flash file on the fly by a script?
