Ive probably ran into some code like this before. just cant remember where. I have 2 display objects on my stage. One is rotating and the other is positioned 90 degrees from the rotating object. As the object rotates, the other object adjusts its x and y positioning from the rotating object.. If this doesnt make sense, then let me expla...
...regardless of font size. Its an mx:Text object. (The Text object is actually being used as a mask so don't know if that's the problem.) If underline is set with the <u> tag in Text.htmlText, or Text.textField.setTextFormat, the underline thickness is always just one pixel which is not acceptable. (There are other problems with <...
I need to know how I can parse a variable path in Flex 3 & e4X. For example, I have two XML strings where the name of one element is the only difference. <NameOfRoot> <NameOfChild1> <data>1</data> </NameOfChild1> </NameOfRoot> <NameOfRoot> <NameOfChild2> <data>2</data> </NameOfChild2> </NameOfRoot> Cu...
I know how to get the URL of the page, but how can I extract simply the domain and the domain alone? It must return the same value with or without www, and it must also return the same value regardless of file, with or without trailing slash, etc. So www.domain.com would return domain.com, and domain.com/index.php would return the same...
This is a continuation of the question below. Basically I discovered its no problem at all to draw lines or shapes or whatever directly onto an mx:Text object using its graphics property (Text.graphics.lineTo, etc.). If just displaying that text, then any such drawn lines are displayed as well. However, if that Text object is used a...

I have the grid set up and have accomplished the drag and drop functions as necessary but i need to get the row index of an item based on the data in the rows.

I'm thinking I need to do something along the lines of: When clicked, gotoAndStop(5) //Five being the location of my active f...

Searches pointed me to Adobe FlexBuilder and Adobe Flash (Designer, CS3, CS4). Then, I found FlashDevelop, learned that Flex SDK and compilers are free. Also, you can make a complete Flash application in FlashD...

Hi All, I am building a flash banner, which needs at one stage to expand beyond its 728x90 box. Something similar to the Corei7 ad currently on wired.com but not as drastic. I know ads like that are annoying, but getting evicted in winter is not an option. Viewing source on pages are difficult since they are almost always wrapped up in ...
I have some function I want to time, but I have no idea how to do it. In javascript I can just get the current time in milliseconds, run the rest of my function, get the current time in milliseconds again and alert the difference. Viola, I know how long the function ran. In ActionScript, it runs everything at once, so my start and end t...

Hi, Has anyone got experience in converting AS3 projects (no mxml) in Flex, to Flash CS4? Are there any resources out there as to what works in Flex Builder that doesn't work in Flash, and how to get the project running?
