I've been working on an AS3 application and it's nearing completion. At the same time, one of the designers I work with has been building a movieclip in a separate .fla that acts as an intro animation to the application. The intro uses the 3D motion tweening capabilities of Flash CS4 / Player 10, and runs fine in the .fla in which it w...
I have this code that I found online that does an infinite rotating gallery, now my problem is that on enter frame it jumps and too fast. I want it to be as fast at after you hover out of the logo.

I am using Filereference object to browse images and Loader to show the image: Sample code: var tempFileRef:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target); var oLoader:Loader = new Loader(); oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoad); oLoader.contentLoaderInfo...
I have a simple Flash movie with the following code. The idea is to move from one frame to the next or back using the arrow keys on the keyboard: stop(); //listen for key press stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, myKeyDown); //if left or right arrow, go to previous or next frame function myKeyDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void { s...
I'm building a Flash CS4 application (AS3) and I can't keep all my movie clips in the library because there will be hundreds of them, and new ones will be added all the time. Two parts to the question: How can I externally load in a movieclip to use during run time? After loading I still need to be able to manipulate it as if I creat...

Question 1: How to use ActionScript to control Flash-made-bone models to bounce realistically? My intention is to give audience the feeling of weight of the model. (Given that I know how to move the bones with IKMover.) Question 2: My 2nd question is about the options of Armature of the bones. When I switch to Authortime mode, the Actio...
Is it possible to package all external files, such as images and videos, into the final .swf or equivalent file? I want to keep the external files separate because it is easier to change them out while developing, but I don't want them to be external when delivering the project. Does anyone know if this is possible? ...
Really puzzled by the flaky behavior of LocalConnection. Using a debug utility(LuminicBox) that uses localConnection to work. When the page containing the swf is loaded in a browser locally , localConnection works. When the identical page and swf are viewed 'live' on a remote site, localConnection fails. Anyone encounter this?? ...
I have a component that is supposed to load in an xml file and display it. I have that working however now I need the live preview to work as well. Is it possible to load a file into the livepreview? It seems the breakdown is that the live preview can not see it's file location, so it can not path to the files to load. Thanks! ...

Hi! I've been having a very tiresome time when using flash10's Matrix3D class for 2D non-affine transformations. Basically, I have a square in a sprite and four points that form a quadrilateral, and I want to apply a transformation to the sprite to make those points the vertices of the sprite. There wouldn't be much problem solving thi...
Using Tween class maybe? I tried the easeOut. But if will write 2 Tween, the 2nd one will overwrite the 1st one, so I only see the obj moving in the 2nd Tween direction, not the 1st Tween direction. I know the coordinates for the 2nd Tween below is not correct (cos all coordinates shld follow the defined reference point), so I need to f...
I have an object that points in the direction of another object (i.e. it rotates to the direction that the second objects x and y coordinates are at) below is the code I use. var distx = target.x - x; var disty = target.y - y; var angle:Number = Math.atan2(disty, distx); var vx:Number = Math.cos(angle) * cspeed; var vy:Number = Math....
Hi all, This question stems from this question that I asked yesterday. I've followed Theo's advice and created a .swc with all the common classes and added the .swc as an external library to my module .swf. This all seems to have worked smoothly--I don't get TypeErrors and my classes are all present in the catalog.xml of the .swc file w...
