Is there any way to resize an entire Flash project using Actionscript or some other method? I have created a 1024x768 Flash CS3 application, but upon closer inspection of the specifications, I now realise it has to be 800x600. Instead of manually making everything smaller, I'd like to resize the window as if someone were dragging the o...
I'm trying to find the best way to rotate a container (or anything for that matter) using the matrix3D features in flash 10 for flex. I have managed to get a container to rotate around a point that is not its registration point but I’ve only managed this by turning off the clipping on a container then placing the contents somewhere othe...
Flash 8 FileReference API gives you the possibility to check periodically for the number of bytes being transmitted: listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void { trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal); } (more infos here and here) In ...
I have a Google Web Toolkit (GWT) application that utilizes a Flash/PaperVision3D component that I have created. The GWT app places instances of the Flash component on different tabs in a tab panel. During execution of the app, everything works great until the user starts clicking in between tabs. At the GWT level, the JavaScript is chan...
I have BigDecimal objects serialized with BlazeDS to Actionscript. Once they hit Actionscript as Number objects, they have values like: 140475.32 turns into 140475.31999999999998 How do I deal with this? The problem is that if I use a NumberFormatter with precision of 2, then the value is truncated to 140475.31. Any ideas? ...
I've noticed that there are certain AIR options that don't work in the flash test player (the one that previews movies when you Ctrl + enter). One example is NativeApplication.startAtLogin. If it is called from the standalone player (double clicking on the swf file, for example) it works, but if i test it on the flash ide it will throw...
Are there any tools available for transforming types defined in an xsd schema (may or may not include other xsd files) into ActionScript value objects? I've been googling this for a while but can't seem to find any tools and I'm pondering wether writing such a tool would save us more time right now than to simply code our value objects b...
Given this MXML component: <mx:TextBox id="test" text="{test2.text.length > 5}" /> How can I get an event dispatched whenever the value of test2.text.length > 5 changes? I've tried ChangeWatcher, BindUtils and PropertyChangeEvent, but no luck :( Thanks; [EDIT] Copying my comments from further down: Well... I'm actually using...

I am not sure how to do this. Suggestions? Here is a hack...

Hello, everyone. We have that Flex app talking to the server. We need some kind of *FlexEvent.ON_BROWSER_WINDOW_CLOSE* event but, unfortunately Flex does not provide such. So I've got the advice to catch a javascript "onbeforeunload" event and call the flash client thru the ExternalInterface-registred method. Is there any way to subsc...
How do I go about determining what is currently in the Mozilla Flash Plugin memory for AVM1? I am trying to debug a large application we have built and need to see what is getting garbage collected and when. I think we have a number of references causing major content nodes not to unload during the user session. Right now it is all gu...

Hi there first timer here. I'm building a flash animation using the tweenlite library. It's extremely simple which is why this is so aggravating. It's basically a slideshow with 5 frames that crossfade. When a button that calls up the next frame fades out, I'd like to disable any actions it has on it. Currently it fades out, but when yo...

I have custom list item renderers and editors for a List control. I need for the editor to have a greater height then the renderer, i.e., the row should expand(in height) when it goes into edit mode. However, even when the list's variableRowHeight is set to true, it doesn't do what I want: the height seems to be based on the height of th...
