Has anyone looked at Yahoo's ASTRA? It's fairly nifty, but I had some issues creating a custom label for a pie chart. They have an example for a line chart, which overrides an axis's series's label renderer. My solution was to override the myPieChart.dataTipFunction. For data that looks like: myPieChart.dataProvider = [ { category: "...
Is it possible to do 3.1 or 5.1 audio using Flash? We're starting a project here for an interactive kiosk, and we've been told to use Flash. However, we also have a requirement to support either 3.1 or 5.1 audio (where 5.1 is the most wanted feature). I haven't done any high-tech audio stuff using Flash, so I was wondering if anyone...
Internet Explorer has a file download limit of 4GB (2 GB on IE6). Firefox does not have this problem (haven't tested safari yet) (More info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298618) I am working on a site that will allow the user to download very large files (up to and exceeding 100GB) What is the best way to do this without using...
I'm using Flash to play an .flv movieclip on my site, but I want to have the .swf send trigger an event in my javascript when it start loading, starts playing and ends playing. What is the best way to do that in Flash CS3 using Actionscript 3.0 ? ...
Is there any way to have a binary compiled from an ActionScript 3 project print stuff to stdout when executed? From what I've gathered, people have been going around this limitation by writing hacks that rely on local socket connections and AIR apps that write to files in the local filesystem, but that's pretty much it -- it's obviously...
Which databases does Adobe Flash support, if any? ...
I'm trying to call a function after I load some XML into Actionscript, and I'm just wondering how I call that function. Example: //Function Declarations function parentFunction() { function callMe() { textField.text = "lawl"; } } Now, how do I call the "callMe()" function in a different part of the code, like an onRel...

Is there a way to detect if a flash movie contains any sound or is playing any music? It would be nice if this could be done inside a webbrowser (actionscript from another flash object, javascript,..) and could be done before the flash movie starts playing. However, I have my doubts this will be possible altogether, so any other (progra...
I'm trying to the the flv Flash player from here in a windows forms application. I currently have it playing 1 .flv file with no problems but I really need to be able to play multiple files. Has anyone had experienace of using the playlists that this control offers or is there a better way to do this? ...
I want to allow my users to embed their own Flash animations in their posts. Usually the actual file is hosted on some free image hosting site. I wouldn't actually load the flash unless the user clicked a button to play (so that nothing auto-plays on page load). I know people can make some really annoying crap in flash, but I can't fi...
What options do I have to publish Flash video from webcams other than Adobe's Flash Media Server and Red5? I would prefer a solution in .NET, Python or PHP but can't find anything. ...
I have a large codebase that targetted Flash 7, with a lot of AS2 classes. I'm hoping that I'll be able to use Flex for any new projects, but a lot of new stuff in our roadmap is additions to the old code. The syntax for AS2 and AS3 is generally the same, so I'm starting to wonder how hard it would be to port the current codebase to Fl...
Let's compile a list of tips. (Understandably there will be some subjectivity involved, but some pointers would be useful to someone overwhelmed by tackling a large project within the Flash framework.) ...
I'm looking for secure ways to pass data between a client running Flash and a server. The data in question will be generated BY the Flash app, which in this case is your score after finishing a game. I want to verify the data is untampered on the server. What are some good methods of getting this done? One simple way is to perform so...
I want to put songs on a web page and have a little play button, like you can see on Last.fm or Pandora. There can be multiple songs listed on the site, and if you start playing a different song with one already playing, it will pause the first track and begin playing the one you just clicked on. I think they use Flash for this, and I co...

Platform ASP.NET / VB.NET / .NET 2.0 IIS 6 IE6 (primarily), with some IE7; Firefox not necessary, but useful Allowed 3rd Party Options Flash ActiveX (would like to avoid) Java (would like to avoid) Current Attempts Gmail Style: You can use javascript to add new Uplo...
One of the things I miss the most in ActionScript is the lack of operator overloading, in particular ==. I kind of work around this issue by adding a "Compare" method to my classes, but that doesn't help in many cases, like when you want to use things like the built in Dictionary. Is there a good way to work around this problem? ...
