I'm new to AS3 and have been working on an XML driven navigation system written in AS3. At present, I've imported the contents of an XML file and plotted it inside a containing MovieClip created at root level dynamically on the stage. This MovieClip is called 'container'. What I want to accomplish is a smooth, accelerating / decelerati...
When, in ActionScript, an event is dispatched: foo.addEventListener("some event", someHandler); foo.dispatchEvent(new Event("some event")); At what point are the event handlers executed? I ask because I caught this at the end of an Adobe developer guide: Notice that some properties are assigned to the [AsyncToken] after the call ...

Hi All, I'm calling a function and adding a listener for when the function returns some data. when the data is returned i need to call another function and so on. Is there an easy way to 'chain' these functions together so that the first one fires - waits for the listener then fires the second one creating a listener for that and so on...
I have been trying to understand the way ActionScript's events are implemented, but I'm stuck. I know that AS is single threaded, which means that only one event handler will be executing at a time, and also means that handlers will be executed in a deterministic order*. For example, consider the following code: 1: var x = {executed: ...
I'm working with an image caching system that generates different images based on a url route. The source images live outside the document root and cached versions are added to /cache in the webroot. Long story short, in Flash, if I point a Loader to the route, I get a "Load Never Completed" error the first time (if the cached image has ...
I have two functions in a actionscript class, they are: private function loaderCompleteHandler(event:Event):void { _loader = Loader(event.target.loader); selectedBitmap = Bitmap(_loader.content); } public function byteArrayToBitmap( byteArray:ByteArray ):void { _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,...

If we create an online SWF application, is there any way to secure it so that someone else doesn't download it and put it on their site? For instance, Webkinz is made with Flash, yet nobody is pirating it on their servers with the whole game unlocked. What is Webkinz doing that we can do? Thanks! ...
I have a class which I want to use throughout my projects. It essentially would allow me to easily work with a RemoteObject so that I don't have to define it throughout all of my projects. It works when not passing "args" to sendRequest(..). But when I want to call the cfc function with parameters and try passing "args" in I get the foll...
I'm very new to flash. I'm trying to show a simple button for my simple flash app (with adobe flex builder 3). The main project file, Client2.as: package { import flash.display.Sprite; [SWF(width="600", height="600", frameRate="31", backgroundColor="#00FFFF")] //set project properties public class Client2 extends Sprite ...
I'm very new to flash and actionscript 3. I've been reading a lot about it and this is also my first aprouch on object oriented programming. So far, I created an application with a login button, that's all. However, I would like to know what kind of things I am doing wrong or should be doing different (or better). I am using Adobe Flex ...

Thanks ...

I am using this class to load multiple images synchronously. Somehow the loader doesn't trigger any event (Event.COMPLETE, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS), strangely I also don't get any errors (using FlashDevelop and Flex3 SDK). package { import flash.display.Loader; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.*; import ...
Because I want to avoid repetive code, and I'm using a lot of text formats, I created a CustomTextFormat class in Flex Builder. Another class, called CustomInputBox.as is using this object to create a format: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.text.TextFieldType; public cla...
