I am unable to locate this component in the user interface library, every other component is listed but this one.
Is this a new you must roll your own from the list component and create it?
PS I just noticed the Alert component is missing too.
We are the developers of a complex Flash component (url...) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time
-1- After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2- If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.
Are there an updated set of Flash UI Components for working with FMS 4.5? I'm not able to locate an extension or even a legacy set of components.

I'm having problems setting up Ant to use with Flex.I install it fine but I get this error when I try and check the install: Unable to locate tools.jar.From what I've read, I just need to point JAVA_HOME to the directory that contains the jdk. Unfortunately,I'm not sure I know which jre I'm using in Eclipse and also, I do a search for tools.jar on my machine and it's not there???I have a C:Program FilesJava directory and there is this in there:
j2re1.4.2_05
jdk1.6.0_03
jre1.6.0.23
In Eclipse --> Windows --> Preferences --Java --> Installed JREs, it's pointing to here:

Am I not working with a full JRE?
Basically, what I want is to have a class that:
- extends Proxy.
- implements IEventDispatcher.
- has property "addEventListener" (it will also have this method).
or at least will trigger getProperty as a fallback when somebody tries to improperly access addEventListener...
I was trying to set up library movieclips to extend an abstract class so they could share common methods, but can't, as all library movieclip objects have to extend MovieClip.My second thought was then to at least insure that all of these objects - which each need their own class now -- implement the same functions -- so I have the following
Code:
public class MyClass extends MovieClip implements MyInterface and then in MyClass I have a function that implements someFunction in MyInterface.I keep getting error 1044: Interface method someFunction in namespace MyInterface not implemented by class MyClass.
I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
Do you know any good User Interface libraries for ActionScript? And I'm not interested in Flex: it's big and you can't customize anything at it except for colors and fonts which I don't care about.I am looking for a decent UI library which is good for game development: custom shaped buttons, stuff like that. More customization that Flex ever had that is.

View 1 RepliesWhat is the difference between dragging a movieClip to stage from the user interface and inserting it from code? What I mean is....I noticed that if I drag a movie clip from the library to the stage, give it an instance name ('xx'), I can access it from code using "this.xx". However, if I add the movieClip from code using:
var ch = new MovieClip();
ch.name = 'xx';
addChild(ch);
I cannot access it using this.xx, but I have to access it using this.getChildByName('xx');

View 1 RepliesI'm doing a trial of the CS5 applications and I cannot seem to find out to increase the size of the font on my user interface. I'm finding the default font size to be too small to work effectively and find the commands I need. I've tried Edit->Preferences which is where one typically finds this type of interface option; however, I do not see any way to do this. I've tried adjusting my screen resolution and screen font size and while this affects every other application on my screen, it does not affect Flash Professional.

I want to show the user a confirmation box when they deselect a checkbox. My code works although I think it is a bit of a hack. I listen to the checkbox click and then show the alert. Depending on the result I then set the checkbox to be checked again.
My code is

<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" >
<fx:Script><![CDATA[

the code is specific to cb1 and cannot be reused for other checkboxes the checkbox is deselected when the alert shows. Then when the user clicks no the checkbox is selected again. stop the uncheck event if the user clicks no on the alert box. Is it possible to intercept this in Flex?
instead of setting the intervals, i want to change it into something like adding a textbox for users to enter the intervals. and i also want to try to change the codes so that only when the user click, then the arrow would move. so its two separate favors.... 1.adding textbox.... 2.using onMouseDown function to move the arrow.

I am looking for a tutorial on creating a sophisticated user interface/menu. Here's a reference: [Code] - I am aware its done in swish but I want to be able to do it in Flash 8. What I've accomplished so far is to create a rollOver and rollOut effects wherein rollOut reverses the movie clip back to its first frame. I was also able to add an 'on release' script where it will play an external movie clip...
This are the AS that I've done so far:
1. I placed this AS on the MC (instance name bam) that has the rollover and rollout effect tween.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (reverse) {
this.prevFrame();
}}
2. I placed this AS on the invisible button I placed on top of the MC
on (rollOver) {
bam.reverse=false;
bam.play();
} on (rollOut) {
bam.reverse=true;
} on (release) {
_root.bampics.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
I'd like to know if someone of you guys has any experience in using Flash (and AS 3.0) to create user interface for Crestron system. I'm experiencing few problems with the management of feedback join

View 2 RepliesI have a PopUpButton that only contains 2 actions. Both actions are complete opposites of each other and switches a boolean property on an object from true to false or false to true. To avoid redundancy, I've only displaying one action at a time. So, if the property is true, the action to change it to true is not shown.
If my PopUp menu has a single option, I would like to remove the menu from being shown and basically revert the PopUpButton to act and look like a regular button. So far, I haven't really found a good way to do that in ActionScript without adding, removing or modifying styles for the button.
Is there a nice way to simply tell the button to hide the PopUp toggle? PS: In my specific example, YES it might be easier if I just used a toggle button. However, I want to reuse this button when dealing with an Array of objects. If I have more than one, the property could be true and false at the same time. In that case, I want to show the menu so they can choose what option to set all the object's properties to.

I have a strange issue- I use a title window to create a message to the user. The user has the ability to move the title window around the screen so that the main screen is visible.However if the user were to move the title window way too much, it can actually go outside the browser accessible area- the user has no option but to close the browser and start again. How do we ensure that the title window movement is limited, such that the title bar is always available for control?
I might not have worded this right- pls check the attached image.

I have a site that includes a Flash music player integrated into the layout. I want users to be able to navigate around the site without interrupting the music. I've done plenty of research and thinking and the following are the options I came up with (keeping in mind I want to be as SEO friendly as possible).
AJAX: I set up a version that changes the main content div to whatever nav link they click, thereby not interrupting the Flash player. I set it up in the proper search-engine-friendly manner with direct links and JQuery/Ajax functions. If someone goes to site.com/ and clicks the Contact nav link, it loads what's in the main content div on site.com/contact.php into the main content div and changes the URL bar to site.com/#Contact. The same goes for if they go to site.com/contact.php and click About in the nav, it loads the About content and changes the URL bar to site.com/contact.php#About. Obviously this opens up a whole new can of worms with AJAX and hash navigation/history issues, and I would end up with people possibly linking to things like site.com/contact.php#About (which I think looks terrible and can't be too great for SEO). Store the Flash player vars somewhere and reload them with the page: I'm not sure how to go about this, but I thought about keeping my regular navigation without AJAX and have it so when a user clicks a nav link, before it changes pages it stores the Flash player vars (current song and song position) somewhere, then loads them into Flash when the new page loads. Something with an iframe? Good alternative to a Flash player that will work for this type of application?
I'm trying to setup an interface where an event is triggered by the user pressing a key on the keyboard. So far I have the following code in a button on the stage:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "b"){
[code]...
Which works fine. I was wondering if there was a way to either remove the case sensitive properties of the keypress action, or to force the keyboard to return a caps lock or something. The only way I can think of doing it so far would be something like this:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "A"){
[code]...
Which obviously will double the amount of code needed - especially as the event for a small c and a capital C would be the same.

View 2 Repliescurrently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.This then streams to one of the windows.I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.This works fine to a point.Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.I want to create the video instances on the page where:Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.

View 1 RepliesYou can find the file in the attachment. It's not the site, but it's the datechooser I use as base. I found this code and this is probably the one I need, with a little modifications. The question is: in what place do I have to insert this code and to what object I need to link it? The target is that the user can't select a day in the future.
comp.disabledRanges = [ {rangeStart: new Date(mydate.getYear, mydate.getMonth, mydate.getDay)} ];
I also found this one:

return false
