Just curious, If i nest a movieclip inside of another movieclip, and the nested movieclip is attached to a custom class. And that custom class has a Event.ENTER_FRAME listener. when I destroy the container movieclip, will flash get rid of the event listeners inside of nested movieclip's custom class ? May seem like a silly question but ...
Hello, I would like to save a webcam captured video to the local disk using AS. The application is running in a standalone Flashplayer 10. I can save pictures from ByteArrays using file.save, but I can't find a way for doing this with video.

Hello I've recently discovered an interesting thing. I've made my own Speedmeter using Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The Download side is based on downloading 2 Mp3 noise files. Using the built-in method getBytesLoaded() and a simple math it's easy to calculate actual connection speed. Actual speed is evaluated every second. It works...
Hi, I'm trying to display HTML text in a text field on the stage, but the text formatting doesn't show. I am embedding all font variations in the library (arial bold and arial regular) and I even have dynamic text fields on the stage that embed arial bold and arial regular. Still, this code does not display bold text: myField.htmlText ...
I'm using the netstream and video object to play a video in flash. Specifically a mp4 video. What I'm trying to do is start playing the file from a specific position (Ex. 20seconds). However with netstreamObject.seek(20) doesn't work unless the stream has been loaded past 20seconds. Is there a way to specify starting to load at 20s?...

I want to extend my function to a better design to where I can pass a canvas object into so I don't have to write N functions.. I'm not sure as how to do this properly I've come up with a naive design with a switch but even then if I add another canvas I still need to write new code for the new canvas. function fadeCanvasOut(event:Timer...

I'm trying to write some ActionScript which will accept a mask and an image, then mask the image and put a border around the result (assuming that the mask is always 100% opaque). For example, if my mask is a poorly drawn star, and my image is a bunch of flowers, I want the result to be a poorly drawn star with flowers inside it and a b...

So for example, Area ID 153 might have 20 coordinates and area ID 77 might have 11 coordinates. I wish to save these in a 2-D array indexed by the area ID, and where each coordinate pa...

I have a banner in actionscript 2, that posts to a URL, and gets a response back. The http header from that is then used to figure out if the posting was successful. This works like a charm i IE, but in Firefox and Safari, the Flash player shomehow interprets the HTTP header as a 0, no matter what the browser actually gets. My guess is t...
