I'm trying to find an all-in-one IDE for flash, one that can deal with various flash related files. I just read this answer and it recommends fdt, but seems fdt can only deal with scripts but not .fla ones. Which IDE should I use so that I can use it to develop various files involved in flash developing?
View 2 Repliesi want to program a flash simulation using actionscript 3, infect I learned how to deal with xml files from this website:URL...But the problem that I want a sample of an xml file for simulation template and if it possible a simulation template so that I can learn how does it work.If "flash simulation" is not clear, i mean with to perform a dialog that two people are conducting one of them are you, and the other one is the pc, if you answered with deferent choice then the dialog will take another path. (Every answer will take you to a deferent path)
View 4 RepliesAnybody else have that dilemma where you have movieclips on stage that should animate, but because they somehow end up switching index/priority(top to bottom on a single layer) on stage in some keyframes, they end up resetting themselves. This causes you to go back through all your movie clips just to check for this. Is there a reletively simple way to deal with this?
Also, assume that distributing everything to layers is not an option.
I am trying to dynamically resize an flv playing back in a flash player. To do this, I need to get the flv's width/height so I can maintain the original aspect ratio. I have noticed that in Firefox the onMetaData event will be hit right away, and the video will resize properly. In IE however, onMetaData is not hit until the buffer is full and video starts playing.
One solution I have thought of is to set the initial buffer to something close to 0 (e.g. 0.01). Then the buffer will instantly hit full, and the video will be resized. The issue I have with this is low bandwidth users will have a a short 'sputter' of video (0.5 seconds say) at the beginning before it goes to the next, larger, buffer. Is there any better way to deal with this behavior in IE? Can you manually "get" the metaData from an FLV file before it even plays?
is it best to load sound files into the library, or to load them externally? What I want to do is make a sampler app. You'd have a selection of loops and drag and drop them onto a timeline. My main concern is performance and any delay of sound.
View 2 RepliesI have a method fired on mouse down:
private function setGender(e:MouseEvent):void
{
check.visible = true;[code]...
The same method body is shared by another method fired on a keyboard Event (so, it takes a keyboard Event for argument). Which is the best way to deal with situations like this one? I would like to have only one method.One way could be to create a new method called by the two event handlers (even if, if I need to use e.target, it can change according to the type of event and other variables, so I should eventually create a method that takes e.target as a parameter). This creates three methods...Would it be possible to change for example e:MouseEvent with a parent of MouseEvent and KeyboardEvent?
I'm currently building a website that contain different game. each game is an external swf. I'm auto-preloading it while displaying textual stuff in order to have a minimum of preloading time.
Everything work well but imagine I've got 5 external swfs. If I decide to close one game and remove the loader child, when I click back to view this game, I have to reload it again.
So, is there a problem (memory or performance) if I do not delete my 5 loader childs in order to lead them only 1 time?
I have child node that has no information ... it would be a URL, so the error message I get is Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.. Code: _currURL = path.article.(@ID == _marker).storyURL; I thought I might check to see if _currURL == null, but that does nothing.

View 6 RepliesThere was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well
My work has tasked me to create a 300x250 ad unit that will pull an XML feed from a vendor. The problem is I've been reading guides on XML and As2/As3 for the last few days and I've really not gotten anywhere. My boss is breathing down my neck and I need to get this done asap.This is an example of the feed the vendor is giving us.

any resources that could help me learn how to emulate a spoiler tag type effect for flash text?I've looked at tree menus etc but seems a bit fussier than needed. What I have is a very large piece of text with differing sections, rather than have a user swamped by everything at once I'd like to hide the majority of it with a brief intro for each section. A [+] / [-] button would expand and collapse the extra information when required (pushing the rest of the content down ala a tree menu type thing).
View 3 RepliesI'm now working on multiple config files(about 16 .txt form files) in a actionscript 3.0 project. I think it is not good to load so many files. maybe I should package them into a swf(But I do not know how to do this) or do sth else.

View 2 RepliesI have made a jigsaw puzzle game, that can be scaled up to have lots of pieces. Now I want to implement it so it can be played by more than one person at a time on a large multi-touch screen. I'm not sure how is best to proceed.
Ive had a look at some development kits and some tutorials and they seem to go into too many gestures etc. I literally only need the capability to move more than one piece at a time. So is it possible for flash to simply deal with this as multiple mouse down events rather than going into multi-touch gestures etc. Or do I need to do it another way?
I am attempting to parse some weather information from the Yahoo weather RSS feed.This is a typical XML node;
<description>Yahoo! Weather for Palm Springs, CA</description>
I used the typical XML parsing code in as2;
var text1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
txt1.text = text1;
I was doing pretty good until I reached a node that was formatted thus;
<yweather:forecast day="Mon" date="28 Sep 2009" low="74" high="103" text="Sunny" code="32" />
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?
I am loading multiple rss/xml file. For some of them I have to use namespace (atom feeds)so I write this lines
var atom:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");var rssXML:XML = new XML();default xml namespace = atom;
I test this in a outside my program but when I integrate this into my main program, it seem like it 's in conflict with all other xml
the problematic line is :default xml namespace = atom
How do I set a namespace only for one xml object ?
When I use FlashBuilder to connect to a remote Java object using BlazeDS, FlashBuilder automatically creates a local valueObject matching the object in the remote server.
However, the package name of the remote object gets lost in translation.
Hence if I have two remote Java objects com.foo.A and com.bar.A, I won't be able to distinguish between them in Flex. So I end up having to name my remote classes com.foo.AFoo, com.bar.ABar.
I was trying to use default xml namespaces, but came upon something strange.
I got the following piece of xml:
<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
[Code].....
now for some reason, the elements are correctly traversed using the default namespace. But the attribute isn't found. After a bit of debugging, I found that I could only retrieve the attribute when using xml.animal.attribute(new QName("", "type")). Why isn't the attribute in the same default namespace as the element?
I am building an application using Action script 3 I am retrieving some XML from the web however the node names are mms:Image mms:Results etc my action script compiler is throwing an error becuase it is not expecting to see the semi colon in the node name. How to I access the nodes?
View 1 RepliesWith the following code, everything works as expected, and I retain both the default namespace, and the xsi namespace in the trace printout.

I'm writing a flash app to help build timed text files. I have all the captions stored in array, and a function that builds the XML object and spits it out. I start out with a template file, then use insertChildAfter() and copy() to create as many <p> tags as I need to, based on the length of my array. If I manually create the following file, it works fine.

I have this error and cant figure out how to fix it. For me it means that the namesace is defined twice somewhere on the timeline, but i checked everything, and its defined once.I have a drop down menu. If i click on first entry from the drop down menu,it will take me somewhere, load sth,then i go back, and click on the other entry where the error ocures, then its fine, table is loading, no error. But if i load the swf, and click stright away on the entry where this error occurs, then i get the error. What does it mean?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently writing a client in ActionScript 3 that talks to a Red5 application/media server via a NetConnection object. The server sends the client multiple types of data over this connection including video, audio and remote procedure calls. After an indeterminate amount of time (sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 10 minutes) I see the following error in a popup window from my Debug version of the Flash client:"Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered."
I'm in the process of trying to figure out what's causing this error and the thing that's really driving me nuts is that I can't seem to catch it. I realize that the error probably indicates some low-level network read failing, but the fact that it generates a popup window in the debug flash player implies that I should be able to catch it.Since the error has no associated stack trace, I went so far as to add the an uncaught exception handler on my base Sprite object:
public class MyClient extends Sprite
{
public function FOWClient()[code].....
My uncaught exception handler will get called properly if I purposely throw in some errors, but it never gets called when this Error #2030 happens.How the heck can I catch this "End of file was encountered" error and deal with it in code? If I can't catch it, are there any thoughts on what's causing it and how I fix that? I've narrowed it down to having to do with RPC calls being made from my server to my client because when I disable those, but leave audio & video, I don't see the issue. Unfortunately, I don't yet have any good ideas beyond that.
If I Have an XML variable that equals this:

And I try to list the attributes via:
var AList:XMList=X.attributes();
The three namespaces, "xmlns:mx","xmlns:ns1", and "xmlns:ns3" aren't listed among the attributes! How can I access this information programmatically?

There's some custom namespaces in my Flex project, as well as the usual namespaces like "mx" and "s". I'd like to use getStyleDeclaration on a style that's in a custom namespace, and I can't seem to figure out the proper syntax.My stylesheet looks partially like this:
.WidgetTitle
{
fontWeight: bold;
}
[code]....
If I try the same thing with a custom namespace, it outputs null:
trace(styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("myNamespace|ScaleBar")); // output: null
I've tried all the combinations I can think of: "myNamespace|ScaleBar", "myNamespace.ScaleBar", "myNamespace ScaleBar" etc and I can't find any documentation on how to do this.
I have to build an Adobe AIR application with the Namespace 2.6. The problem is, I recently downloaded Flash Builder 4.6 onto a new computer, and it requires the Namespace to be 3.1. Otherwise, it throws an error. The only solutions I can find online are to change the Namespace in the app.xml file to 3.1. This however causes issues later on when I try to Code-sign the application.The easiest fix would be to make Flash Builder build the application with Namespace 2.6.
