i am trying to create a game for my family website, it will look the picture below but instead of paper targets i want to use photos of family members. I have no real flash experience, could somebody give me a good starting point.
View 1 RepliesI have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
View 1 RepliesIn Flex/AS3 font embedding has been totally revamped. You have to use the Embed tag. Simple embedding of a single font isn't a problem but when I try to embed multiple members of a font family, I get into trouble. I want to embed Helvetica and Helvetica Bold in one of my projects. Embedding Helvetica isn't a problem but I can't get the bold to work. If I just embed the bold font I get this error:

Are static members slower to access than instance members in AS3?

View 1 RepliesI have one movie that I want content to appear in driven by xml. With text and background image for each node. (see attached diagram).It's only one row that gets wider as nodes are added.Problem is I need the cells to always be centered within the container - so they appear from the middle line.You can see diagram 1 and 2 the calls are positioned differently. I cannot find an example of this anywhere - In all example's I've found the nodes always output left to right, looping to redraw a new row.Any one know if this is possible, could a script calculate the number of nodes in the row and adjust the first node x position accordingly?

I need the cells to always be centered within the container - so they appear from a center line. I cannot find an example of this anywhere - In all example's I've found the nodes output left to right, looping to redraw a new row. Do you know if it is possible to achieve this? Some kind of script to calculate the number of nodes present then position the first cell's x position accordingly, I have no Idea how to do that. I cannot post the images here so if you imagine a family tree style diagram with a center vertical line - cells appearing and spreading out centered in one row.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set a text field to arial, helvetica, sans AFTER I disable embedded fonts, but I'm having trouble with the CSS. This is what works for embedded fonts when I'm using English text:
Code:
.specialtext{
font-family:"MetaPlusBold" ;
font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;
}
But then if I switch languages and therefore have the embed fonts = false I get a serif font. That's not surprising, because I can't use anything else in there... adding other font families doesn't help and "breaks" the embedded version:
Code:
font-family:"MetaPlusBold" , Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
btw, I have to use weight and style so it looks right when using device fonts. I guess I really need a way to set everything to "_sans" but not on the actual text fields themselves. That didn't work for me, because this doesn't help:
Code:
body {
font-family:"MetaPlusBold-Roman" ;
}
I have to set my text fields to the embedded font. They're dynamic but already on the stage so I can animate them easily.
I download the files for Lee's "Preloading in ActionScript 3" Tutorial and encounter a problem when I try to change the font family for the percent text. No problems when changing the size and color, just the family. Does anyone know why this happens? [URL]
View 5 RepliesI have a Movie Clip which consists of a text-box with some text in it.I am trying to tween this movie clip so it either moves randomly throughout the animation or have the movie clip bounce off the edges similar to a standard screen saver you might see. While slowly changing it's text through many different font families Is it possible to have a movie clip tween randomly through an animation and is it possible to change the text to many different families in a slow transition.
View 1 RepliesI've worked with AMFPHP for a while, but with Adobe supporting ZendAMF, I was wondering if I should migrate.
One of the major disadvantages for AMFPHP is that class mappings need to be public, so not only does that mean public members on the PHP side, but also on the Flex side. I was wondering if it is the same case for ZendAMF.

I've got this script, as it works now the text is loaded with XML.
It animates across screen, but not quite as i wish. If you download the script: www.playart.dk/scroller.rar -> you will see the text removes itself before another text from the XML is loaded in the flash...
The way i would like it to work where it all comes in at the same line, so you can see 2 captions(nodes, text) at a time in one line...
If you dont want to download the file, the script looks like this:
//_root.p = 0;
//-----------------------
//Hent XML
function loadXML(loaded) {

The only thing I want to print is a JPG I am loading into an empty mc and I don't want it to scale to fit the paper. Looks bad and wastes ink.

I have a class ABC:
class ABC
{
var l:Label=new Label();
var m:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
}
Given an instance of class ABC, e.g. obj:
var obj:ABC=new ABC();
I need to access both obj.m and obj.l. Say m has an eventlistener fl_listen which gets triggered on a mouse click:
function fl_listen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var k=event.target;
}
Within this handler, I can access the MovieClip of ABC class. However, my requirement demands to access the object of Label in the ABC class too.
I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?
View 3 RepliesI'm working in CS4. I am trying to add 20 squares to the stage. Each square must have a different number in the middle(1, 2, 3, etc.).
This is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;

Ideally, I would like the squares to be added automatically, with increasing numbers and 100 x 100 pixels apart. Possibly a 'for-loop' statement?

2) made remote.swf which contains MyClass
3) local.swf loads in remote.swf from [URL]
how can I access MyClass.staticMember() using local.swf ? is there someway to register MyClass under local.swf after remote.swf is loaded in?
i think i'm looking for something similar to registerClass(remoteSwf.myClassObject.constructor) ;
