I have swfaddress (2.4) working fine on my site - the back button works, I can copy and paste urls and be taken to the correct page, etc. BUT, if I copy a url, say "http://mysite.com/#/bio", and paste it into a new browser window, the site always just loads to the home page after the preloader. What am I missing? Do I somehow need to ch...
I have a issue where I'm working with a particular interface for quite a lot of things. However, I have a particular method that I want to be available only to a particular group of classes (basically, an internal method). interface IThing { function thisMethodIsPublic():void; function thisMethodShouldOnlyBeVisibleToCertainClas...
Hi there I found a tutorial on creating a stack of photos in flash using AS3 (http://designreviver.com/tutorials/create-an-interactive-stack-of-photos/).

I know I can detect flash gaining and losing focus with these callbacks: stg.addEventListener( Event.DEACTIVATE, deactivateCb, false, 0, true ); stg.addEventListener( Event.ACTIVATE, activateCb, false, 0, true ); But is there anyway to directly query flash if it has focus or not? (Trying to figure out if flash has focus when starting...

I have a flash map of the UK which is divided up into the counties, a user clicks on a county and is then directed to a new url, eg. www.mydomain.co.uk/region/london. The flash map remains on that new page in case they wish to select a new region. What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the url is www.mydo...

Hallo, I been having this problem for a while and I have no idea how to solve it. I have a flash game (very much like a normal memory game) that has a lot of Movieclips in it that has MouseEvents attached to them. But, when I add a bitmap over the stage (used for covering lots of unwanted things and has to be there) that is the full siz...

I'm creating a flash application that makes use of both the dropShadow filter and scaling of various sprites. And therein lies the problem: This filter supports Stage scaling. However, it does not support general scaling, rotation, and skewing. If the object itself is scaled (if scaleX and scaleY are set to a value other tha...
Update: Turns out this is undocumented behaviour of the NetStream class - NetStream loads relative to the swf, as opposed to URLRequest which loads relative to the HTML doc... annoying. I am having a strange issue where loading an FLV file using the fl.video.VideoPlayer class that comes with CS4: Adobe docs here Usually when loading ...
I am trying to detect the key down event for the alt key in flex. I have a standard event listener for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but don't get any response for the alt key (or ctrl key). I know I can detect if the alt key was pressed via a mouse event, but I want to update the cursor when the alt key is pressed to ...
Morning stackers! So my question today isn't dealing with any code, but how to go about this the correct way from the start. I have a video player built to a static size (max: 800x600) which I'll have to re-code every time I need it to be a different size. What I need it to do in the near future is dynamically resize itself and all the ...

It will take in cosideration the stroke but stroke has scalemode to ...
Hi, I'm loading a few huge images on my flex/as3 app, but I can't manage to catch the error when the flash player runs out of memory. Here is the what I was thinking might work (I use ???? because i dont know what to catch): try{ images = new Array(frames); for (var i:uint = 0; i < frames; i++){ imagesBA[i] = new Bitm...
I'm writing a mock backend service for my flex application. Because I will likely need to add/edit/modify the mock data over time, I'd prefer not to generate the data in code like this: var mockData = new Array(); mockData.push(new Foo(1, "abc", "xyz")); mockData.push(new Foo(2, "def", "xyz")); ... Rather I'd like to store the data in...
