I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself: import com.Polygon; import mx.c...

Is it possible to configure FLVPlayback so that it does not auto-load the associated video file, but instead waits for a click on a "play" button to load and then play it? (I'm building a site that will have a player for a rather large video on its front page, and I'd rather not have the video downloaded unless/until the user asks to see...

Fundamental question here. Typically in AS3 you load in a SWF via the Loader, and what you get is some sort of pseudo MovieClip that is of type "Loader". Is there any holy way under the sun to cast this loaded SWF to a custom type that extends MovieClip and not Loader, assuming the SWF was published with a base class of the custom type?...

Hi I have a 1 frame main SWF. In the first frame I include codeAS2.as like so: #include "codeAS2.as" (sorry, might sound primitive) When I test the movie in Flash CS4, everything works fine, it loads all the data from the XML file menu.xml which is in the same folder. Using the Simulate Download function from Flash, it also runs fine,...
Is it possible to specify MXML-esque "binding strings" in ActionScript? For example, I want to be able to do something like: MXMLBinding(this, "first_item", this, "{myArrayCollection.getItemAt(0)"); MXMLBinding(this, ["nameLbl", "text"], this, "Name: {somePerson.first} {somePerson.last}"); Edit: thanks for the...
Hiya. I'm new to Flash so my terminology might not be accurate so please bare with me. I've created a button (symbol), and added a OVER state, which covers a bigger boundary than the UP state. However when I add the symbol/button to my stage, the roll over activates on any area covered by the over state, where I only really need it cov...

Note: in this question, I am talking about formal Interfaces (e.g. public interface IButton {...} ). I'm an Actionscript developer, but I suspect my question will resonate in many languages that allow both formal Interfaces and Events. I love Interfaces. I love the separation between interface and implementation. (I wish Actionscript...
Hi there, This problem is probably very simple to solve but it is not clear to me. It may simply be that I am doing something incorrectly. I have studied OOP and AS3 for quite a few hours so I am familiar with the concepts but not the flow. This is a project that I put together in order to reinforce what I have been studying. The goal ...
I've a regex that matches comma separated numbers with an optional two digit decimal part in a given multiline text. /(?<=\s|^)\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d{2})?(?=\s|$)/m It matches strings like 1, 12, 12.34, 12,345.67 etc successfully. How can I modify it to match a number with only the decimal part like .23? EDIT: Just to clarify - I woul...

Then when someone connected to the server through http it is forwarded to the "index.htm". The "index.htm" page is the HTML page created automagically by Adobe Flex during compile time, I just renamed it to that...
