I am trying the FDT editor on a project that previously ran successfully in Flash CS3. FDT builds and runs it successfully but the SWF is blank (white). I've tried a few viewers on the output file and it is actually blank. One difference is that now my project doesn't seem to include my entry .fla file. I'm new to Flash/ActionScript ...
Can a flash front end talk to a .net backend? ...
near the top of the code i see things like, btn_dropdown._visible = false; mcMenuBkg._visible = false; but I can't find these assets anywhere in the library or in any code, how does this make any sense? The movie clips in the library that look the same have different names and I can delete them entirely and they still show up when I ...
I have created a pretty basic Flash website for a client and am having an issue programming a Client Login feature that he would like. Currently, if I navigate to the site and click Client Login, it takes me to a login page. The way I need this to work is -- within the Flash, using ActionScript 2.0 -- have the user enter their UserID and...
I was wondering how many of you already used the Prana Framework for AS3 (Flex/Flash) or heard about it? I have found it very usefull but there doesn't seem to be a lot of developers using it... The link is PranaFramework Thx, Lieven Cardoen aka Johlero ...
Can anyone recommend a good (AS3) logging API for Flash/AIR/Flex? I need something to capture and record mouse and keyboard events in addition to coded events. Preferably something well documented/supported. Thanks in advance. ...
I am having the worst luck with this. We bought a template to update our own website (don't have enough time to start our own from scratch!) but when I make simple changes in the Flash CS4 native file and re-export the swf, it doesn't work correctly! I am wondering if anyone has run across the same problems with a Template Monster Flash...
We are currently designing a website that will be accessed from kiosks in a museum. Users will need to be able to browse through a number of different web pages that will currently contain static HTML content as well as go through various interactive presentations that will be based on flash and run in flash player. Users may need to inp...
We are looking at developing a device with a touch screen and an embedded PC like computer for the user interface. What are the benefits and disadvantages of using flash/flex for this user interface development? One of our goals is to seperate the design (= look and feel) and the functionality of the application to ease the development...
... I'm working on a couple of theories, but I'm interested to hear other opinions. This has been verified on three different machines, two windows the other linux. The compiler used is flexbuild (Presumably mxmlc) and ant with mxmlc. We added code to a small stand-alone single .as file project and the compiled swf file size went down ...
I have an embedded flash that is transparent so it looks like part of the background. I achieved that by setting wmode to transparent. My problem is that the area underneath the flash becomes inaccessible, even though the flash is transparent. Therefore I cannot click on any links or buttons that are under the flash object. How do I ma...
I need to make my dropdown menu apprear over the top of a flash movie, how is this done cross browser? It can be done, IBM do it: http://www.ibm.com/us/ so do GE: http://www.ge.com/ Setting the the WMODE to transparent doesn't work for Firefox Putting it into an Iframe doesnt work below IE7 Any one know the best way to achieve this? ...
Hi there: I'm using Flex 3 in the UI of a Windows app (Flash player as an embedded ActiveX control), and passing data between them with ExternalInterface (primarily into the Flex app, as opposed to out). I'm finding, though, that the performance is pretty awful, particularly with larger (i.e., custom) objects; the more EI calls we make,...
A website I'm working on (using AS2 because it's oldschool) has a larger index .swf file that loads sub-swfs using loadMovie("foo1.swf", placeToShowSwf). There's foo1.swf through 4, which is silly because the only thing that's different between them is a single number in the address of an xml file that tells it what content to load. So I...
I've been running into this problem with Flex for nearly a year, and each time I work up a quick hack solution that works for the time being. I'd like to see if anyone has a better idea. Here are the conditions of a problem: |------Container ------------| | explicitHeight: 400 (or whatever) | | | |-----...
Is it possible to write a program that interacts with a running instance of Flash? In recent versions of Java, there is a notion of "attaching" your own process to a running JVM. By writing some somewhat ugly code using Reflection and the like, you can dig around, grab a reference to an object, print the value of a variable, call a meth...
Here's the situation - I've got a shell that loads an external .swf. Now, that .swf is 800x600, but it's an animation piece, and there are elements that extends off the stage. When I load the .swf into the shell and call its width attribute, it returns 1200 - because it's including the elements that break out of the stage. This isn't wh...
I'm using SWFUpload to handle file uploads and have run into a problem where any file upload >= 3 min will time out. As far as I can tell, Apache and PHP are configured properly to handle large files. Are there any settings with Flash that might affect this? Does Flash have some sort of timeout value I could change? ...
I have been using Flex for a while and have not used remoting as of yet. Currently my apps use a webservice that generates xml that I use for databinding. What would be the benefit to using remoting over an xml webservice in this use case? Is there a general guideline when I should choose remoting over webservices? Why would I want t...
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how to change the rowcount of a datagrid in flash after it has been created on the stage. I am loading an xml file externally that contains the number of rows the datagrid should have, but the problem is that becuase this file is not loaded at runtime, it just picks the default 3 items. Maybe I have to rel...
