In Flash CS4 I have a MovieClip called LoginForm which contains two text inputs (name and password), a button (sign in) and some error text. For some reason, the bottom most object will not show up in the swf. I could add as many buttons, movie clips or shapes as I want and whatever I sent to back will not show up. Also, I know that th...
I used Gaia framework to build a self-scrolling slideshow. There are only 4 pages in all, but I have realized to my dismay that each of these pages are requested over and over from the server. If you leave the page open and the animation goes by itself, that can clobber our server. What can I do to prevent this? I wonder if there is a ...
I am creating a desktop version of an iPhone app and would like to have some sort of sync option. The desktop version of the app is an Air app. I know that I can have them communicate by: Starting a server on the desktop or the phone Ask the user to enter the IP of the device into the other one Make GET and POST requests over the htt...
suppose I want to make a Flash browser game that can be played in small groups. So for that I would make the Flash app itself, but I will also need a server that will support proper communication between the clients in the same group, let's say using RTMP protocol. Plus, it would be nice to be able to do authentication and some sort of s...
What am I missing here because my video doesn't have any controls? Is there a special parameter I need or do I need to encode the SWF file in a special way? I just used a MPEG to SWF converter provided by Blaze Media Pro. ...
Hi all, Flash 10+ allows peer to peer capabilities to be implemented in Flex and Flash applications. However Adobe has sought to "control" this feature by ensuring that P2P can only be achieved using their hosted beta service called Stratus. This is to the best of my knowledge. Is there any alternate method to achieve the same? FYI: ...
I need to be able to load a jpeg/png image from disk and show it in flex and send it to a server as a base64 encoded string. But once the image file is loaded, in my flash.display.LoaderInfo object, the bytes property (type of ByteArray) contains more byte than the file content. Example: image file size: 3089 flash.display.LoaderInfo.b...
Hi I have my movie in the main timeline and then have a smaller clip in which there is a dynamic text box.

Does anyone know if Flash will be able to run independent from the browser? I mean native apps in Flash, not just the player in a browser. The Symbian OS can do that, however I have yet to find an article which explicitly states what will become available in the case of the iPhone and the Android platform. I am not asking about dates, as...
I am trying to track the exit clicks of the users in the adds in my page. Can I somehow capture with Javascript the click event of a user in a external Flash add I have inserted in my page?

in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and pre...
I'm doing some research for a Maps project I'll be starting soon, and I'm trying to evaluate which of the Map APIs will be best-suited to this project. I've worked pretty extensively with the Google Maps Javascript API, but no others. My basic requirements are, in no particular order: Free: as in beer, not necessarily as in speech. Web...
hi all, I am very new to flash. I've built a movie clip, inside this movie clip there is a button. There button does not respond to clicks (when I hover over it my cursor remains the same). I know it's not a problem with the button, since when I put the button directy in the main scene it works just great. Any ideas?? Btw, I am using f...
