I'm trying to scatter movie clips around the stage using Actionscript 3 in a way that looks as though they were randomly placed there, like photographs spread out on a table top. I tried using a spiral type arrangement, but found it too uniform, and also a circular distribution, but found that too random. The other factor is that i'd l...

I tried it with several RSS feeds I plan to use, many of large websites.. one worked, the others returned status -10, status: -10 (An end-tag was encountered without a matching start-tag.) the thing is, these are big sites, there is no way all of their feeds a...
As per my understanding of the Adobe docs for a cross domain request by an swf, two types of policy files are required on the server: URL policy file: this is named "crossdomain.xml" and stored in the root of the server and is generally an http request to the server. System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://foo.com/crossdomain.xml"); So...

Hey everyone.. I'm really new to flash. I have a combo box and I am using the 'selectedIndex' property to give it a default value (a value that is at the first(0) index). Setting this property in my ActionScript does select the value in the dropdown but it does not add the selected value to the combo box's text area. How do you do this? ...

When requesting data with: <param value="data-file=http://url-to-my/json.script" name="flashvars"> via an SWF file, what request type would "http://url-to-my/json.script" receive. It doesn't seem to be a "xmlhttprequest". Is it the same as a request from a browser? ...
I need to send a HTTP request (and get XML response) from Flash that looks similar to following: http://example.com/somepath?data=1&data=2&data=3 I.e. having several parameters that share same name, but have different values. Until now I used following code to make HTTP requests: var resp:XML = new XML(); resp.onLoad = func...
I tried to find an answer here but haven't seen anything yet. I've been working on an AIR application with Flash CS4 (AS3) for the last two days. Yesterday when publishing I was able to install the application (or overwrite existing version) without a problem. Now whenever I publish a new AIR file, it constantly tells me it cannot be in...
Hi, I'm using the Actionscript Timer class. What happens if I run a function every 3 seconds, but the function takes 4 seconds to complete? Does the Timer object queue up events? I guess this must happen if only 1 thread is being used? ...
I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with writing multiple GUI windows using Flash Components. I thought the best way to handle this was to use a layer for each window that I want, and simply hide/show the layer I want for the window. It would be preferred to not use actionscript alone. Since each layer holds these GUI componen...

So here's the situation: I have a Flash application I'm deploying to facebook as a canvas app. There are various states within this app - different "pages", sort of. I want to be able to share this app with other users using Facebook's baked-in sharing mechanism. However, I want each state to have its own share button. That way when so...
See image at http://reggino.kingsquare.nl/tmp/actionscriptProblem.jpg Hi there, I can't get my head around this one... I'm having two sprites, where the intersection of these sprites has an alpha of 0. I tried all the blendmodes and filters, but none of them seems appropriate. I've been puzzeling with extra layers on top of these thr...

I was asked to add a preloader to a rather messily constructed AS2 website. I'm using the preloader-in-the-first-frame approach--there are tons of references to _root throughout the site so I can't load the main site externally as another swf. My approach just involved creating a new frame at the beginning of the timeline, bumping all ...
