EDIT (for clarification): I have a vector image with a simple contour, an irregular closed polygon. I need to import it into Flash in a way that I can then programmatically access each of the segments that form the polygon. Importing the vector image into the library as a MovieClip wasn't good because all I get is a shape from which I ca...
On Windows (Vista32), I want to display some simple graphics on top of a fullscreen flash window (an overlay of useful information while using the flash application). What's the fastest way to accomplish it? I think I may be able to achieve it using DirectX with the DDSCAPS_OVERLAY flag but with the only example I've found I get an exce...

Hi! Who knows good graph layout engines with clear customization and managment? Flare is an cool one but it is written on Flex (may be you know how it can be customized without re-compilation and writing code?). I also know about JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit but it not good enough. ...
Using .NET (Windows), you can embed an ActiveX Flash player into a Windows form, load a swf file and set variables or invoke functions with single method calls from C# (I imagine because of the presence of a Flash OCX). That said, I would like to do the same thing in MONO (Linux): how could this be possible? ...

Is either method preferred? ...

Hi, I am trying to construct a line dynamically, with a start and end gradient. I want to avoid using a GradientBox, as the lines are dynamic. All I want to do is have the line start red, end blue. This code does not work though :( myLine = new Shape(); myLine.graphics.lineStyle(2); myLine.graphics.lineGradientStyle(GradientType.LINEAR...

The callbacks work when I have the js function outside of $(document).ready(function() but the jQuery animations do not fire - the ajax load however does. Does anyone know how to...

Would really appreciate if someone could help out. var fbook:Facebook; var api_key:String="xxxx"; var secret_key:String="xxxxx"; var fb_session:FacebookSessi...
I noticed that if you're playing a song at http://listen.grooveshark.com/ and you hit the back button Flash is smart enough to keep on playing the music while navigating "back" inside the Flash application. Is it possible to implement this sort of thing using Java Applets, or do Applets alway shut down when you navigate away from the pa...
I have a flex application that loads an external swf file. I created the external swf file using flash cs4 so I can add code to it if that is what it takes. Here is the code I use to load my external swf: //add button swf var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yadayada.com/media/but_button.swf"); var loader3:Loader = new L...
I have an 2D image that I want to draw in true 3D, and spin around its centre. I'm using Actionscript 3 code (actually Haxe, no IDE), and I'm struggling to discover the values by experimentation. I have a DisplayObject. If I use rotateZ = 45, the object rotates around it's top-left, rather than centre; more complicated Display.transfo...

Is it possible to record video through Flash's "Webcam" facility and receive encoded video on server side without any further processing (i.e. just saving the stream to a file)? Or is server side software always needed to encode the input? If server side software is necessary, are there free / Open Source solutions available? ...

Hello I want to imitate the iPhone scroll behavior in a Flash app I am developing. The idea is to enable drag-drop with a certain amount of inertia/deceleration (you know, when you drop something while your cursor is still moving and the thing would continue moving for a moment and then stop). I am using the TweenMax library for my ani...
it seems that Flash was supposed to run in a sandbox in the browser. But, if Flash can get data from a remote server, can it similarly get data from localhost IP on the same machine? In other words, can I use a Windows app that provides a TCP socket on localhost to feed data into a Flash app? EDITED: ok, the answer is yes at least for ...
