I am creating a reusable Flash swf for displaying xml data in a treemap, which will be highly configurable. I am considering requiring an xml settings file at the root, akin to a .NET web.config appSettings section. Default values for the settings will exist in a AS class file, which will be overridden by the xml config file. They can be...
Hi, I am new to AS3 so please forgive me for asking something which is probably pretty straightforward to solve. I am trying to load an image onto the stage using an external AS3 class. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but I started off with a tutorial so was following that. My object (movieclip) has the class 'Mountain' a...

I'm using the Flex 3.3 SDK (not Flex builder, as I'm on 64-bit Linux), and it seems I can't even build simple example files. The Pie Chart example on http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_types_09.html refuses to build, giving me: The generated actionScript is as follows: package { import flash.accessibility.*...

Hi Not sure if this makes sense, but I need to check if a server value returned is actually a number. Right now I get ALL number values returned as strings ie '7' instead of 7. What's the simplest way to check if string values can actually be converted to numbers? ...

We are planning on serving some video on our website. In order to do so we are doing some contingency planning around the bandwidth we will use up during peak times. We are planning on serving a 1 minute video at 150Kbs (we may increase this depending on how much bandwidth we use up). We are steaming the video, rather than embedding it...
Is it possible to read a local file in a Flash? My application uploads files to server using the flash.net.FileReference class, and I would like to peek inside before I upload them. There are two indications as to why it could be possible: I'm going to see the content of the files on the server anyway. Silverlight can do that. The Syst...

Suppose I have a flash application; let's say a chess game. The user is playing against a computer opponent. After every move, I want the flash application to add the move's "description" into the HTML of the page. Does flash have this ability? Are there any common round-about ways of doing this? Maybe the flash app updates a databas...

Hi, I'm embedding a flash swf into an html page and setting wmode=transparent. I need this flash movie to still receive mouse over events. In Opera, Safari, Chrome and Firefox this works fine, the html background shows through, and the flash mouse over events are still received.

I'm using a localconnection to allow communication between an actionscript 2 swf and an actionscript 3 swf. Localconnection objects share a global namespace across a user's pc. So, this means, a user can fire up my flash app in one browser, and submit commands, back and forth, which is what i want. But the user can also fire up another ...
sorry for the convoluted and subjective question, but multimedia is totally out of my area of expertize. I know there are several alternatives to embed video on a page. There is HTML 5 <video> tag, there is video/ogg content type which seems nobody uses, there is Flash SWF embedding or Flash FLV progressive, I think Silverlight has som...
