I've got a rather simple question about loading in an xml file at runtime in a SWF. I've found a couple different methods to load in the xml. myXml.load("file.xml"); HTTPService object URLStream object What is better way to load an xml file that always has the same name and is located in the same folder as the SWF on the web serve...
Flash can use the RTMP protocol to exchange data between a server and a client. How do you typically access this functionality in AS2 or AS3/Flex? For example to use sockets you use the XMLSocket (AS2) or Socket (AS3) classes. Does the server-side RTMP software use Sockets under the covers? or is it HTTP with tunneling? The Real-T...
I've got a movieclip with two layers - a background movieclip, and above that, a mask movieclip (as you might guess, this layer is masking the first). Due to design necessity, the mask is animated on the timeline across 60 frames. The problem arises when I use an Event.RESIZE listener to change the width of the parent movieclip when th...

Hello all, can some one help me in reading TIFF files at runtime in Flex/AS3 based applications? Thanks for your time guys. ...
Can't get any love anywhere on this and it's pretty hard to believe. Live streaming and a buffer on a NetStream do not mix. Why? The docs don't say you can't do this. The playback gets hosed. Buffer is supposed to fill to what you set it to before playing. Instead though, about half the time, the player starts playing right away an...
Using Tween class maybe? I tried the easeOut. But if will write 2 Tween, the 2nd one will overwrite the 1st one, so I only see the obj moving in the 2nd Tween direction, not the 1st Tween direction. I know the coordinates for the 2nd Tween below is not correct (cos all coordinates shld follow the defined reference point), so I need to f...

I have a clustered chart with 2 column series. The problem is that sometimes one column's values are so large, the other column is dwarfed. So I added checkboxes to show/hide a given column, and set the visibility of the ColumnSeries as such: visible="{checkbox.selected}" includeInLayout="{checkbox.selected}" This shows/hides the give...
I have an old AS2 project that needs to run in an AS3 container. When the AS2 swf is loaded, it communicates with the AS3 container using gskinner's SWFBridge. Once a connection is established, the AS2 file loads in all necessary xml data. When this is complete it calls a function that begins the process of loading external images. The f...
I have an object that points in the direction of another object (i.e. it rotates to the direction that the second objects x and y coordinates are at) below is the code I use. var distx = target.x - x; var disty = target.y - y; var angle:Number = Math.atan2(disty, distx); var vx:Number = Math.cos(angle) * cspeed; var vy:Number = Math....
I only really need the HBox answer but figure that if we get a good answer in here it would help anyone trying to do a similar thing with a VBox. It would be nice to know this in both actionscript and MXML. So I have an HBox that I want some text aligned from the left and some radios from the right. Like so: __________________________...
How do I get the 2D screen coordinates of a 3D object when using Papervision 2.0 (Great White)? I've read that following properties should return the screen coords but these always return 0. myDisplayObject3D.screen.x myDisplayObject3D.screen.y I've also tried setting: myDisplayObject3D.autoCalcScreenCoords = true; But this has no ...
Hi all, This question stems from this question that I asked yesterday. I've followed Theo's advice and created a .swc with all the common classes and added the .swc as an external library to my module .swf. This all seems to have worked smoothly--I don't get TypeErrors and my classes are all present in the catalog.xml of the .swc file w...
When outputting links dynamically, I cannot determine the Y-Pos dynamically. It will work find if my links are single lined. link_txt.y = i*20; this will only work if the links are Single Lined. assuming they are 15px for height + 5 for spacing. As soon as they are 2 lines, they overlap. I've tried different methods but unable to figu...
Hi - I have a container with masked bitmap in it. The scale and rotation of this container changes at runtime, and I need to draw the masked bitmap but cannot figure out the appropriate matrix calculations to do so. My code works correctly to reflect position, scale, offset for centering without rotation. When rotated, the angle is cor...
I'm trying to create a navigation panel based on the Flex Accordion control. The 2 things I'm trying to figure out are how to: modify the Accordion so that all of the of "panels" are closed by default. (normally one of the panels is open by default) treat some of the Accordian headers as just simple buttons (ie you click and an event ...
