Anybody that happens to know how to do this would really be helping me out. Maybe its simple, I don't know, but it involves embedded SWF's so I imagine it could entail interacting with event handlers or methods in an embedded SWF. But anyway, here it is: I have several embedded SWF's on a canvas (in SWFLoaders) and when one of them ch...
I've created a SittingDuck.as class that extends the MovieClip class. When I instantiate SittingDuck in my .fla file, I try and access both the properties I created in the SittingDuck.as file, as well as its inherited properties. I'm able to refer to and change x and y properties, but when I attempt to access the instanceName property, I...
I have created an application using Adobe Flex. I took all the files from the 'bin-release' folder and put it on the server. Then when someone connected to the server through http it is forwarded to the "index.htm". The "index.htm" page is the HTML page created automagically by Adobe Flex during compile time, I just renamed it to that...
Hi there, I've been looking for a way to programmatically and by default set a dynamic text box to vertically align in the middle of the box. I find it really hard to believe that there's no option to do this, unless I'm excessively blind. Else how can I fake it? Thanks! ...

What's the fastest way to get a screen capture in flex? I am currently using: (I currently encode it to Base64 for upload to a webserver, but this is not necessarily required. All I want is an image file to appear on the server). ImageSnapshot.defaultEncoder = JPEGEncoder; var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(<...

Although Flash has a mouse wheel event (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL), it comes with quite a few problems. The first is that the event is not yet supported on the Mac. So there are a bunch of solutions, all of which (basically) capture the mousewheel (or DOMMouseScroll) event in javascript and pass it into the flash app. Luckily, under all t...

How to know if a XML list have a child? My code below is using hard code stating that I want to run the child of my XML. But I wouldn't want to write write every children() of it if I have a lot of child. private function dataLevel():void { for (var j:Number=0; j<xmlList.length(); j++) { createBranch(); for (var k:int = 0; k<xm...
So I have two classes: IOPin & Node A Node has a set of IOPins. To support loose coupling, and separation of concerns, I don't want the IOPins to have to know anything about Node. The Node should deal with adding/removing IOPins and should also deal with any error checking logic associated with this. This causes an issue when I want ...

I am adding some tabs to the stage, and each tab loads its own swf file. I have an array tracking the tabs, but need to know when each swf is loaded which tab it belongs to. I'm not sure of the best way to do it. Tabs are controlled by XML, so there can be any number of tabs - for (var j = 0; j < _xmlTabs.length(); j++) { arrTabs...
