How to sequence events in Actionscript 3
I've been working with AS3 a lot over the last weeks and I've run into a situation that google hasn't been able to help with. The crux of the problem is that before I run a function I need to know that certain conditions have been met, for example loading my config.xml and putting it into a class variable. Where I run into trouble is tha...

How to detect unplayable video channel?
I'm using NetConnection, NetStream and a flash.media.Video control to play back video files stored on the local machine. Works great for FLVs, and for H.264-encoded MP4s, but for non-H.264 MP4s, I often get audio, but no video. I realize this is to be expected. What I'm wondering is whether there's a way to reliably detect that the vi...
Inaccurate progress bar when uploading large files using ASP.NET and Uploadify?
I've got an ASP.NET web application (utilizing WebForms) and am using Uploadify to handle uploading large files. This is done by posting the file to an HttpHandler. Example of code (simplified for demonstration purposes): $(".uploadify").uploadify({ 'uploader': '/uploadify/uploadify.swf', 'script': 'SaveUploadedFile.ashx', ...
Integer values updated by XML
How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from. myThoughts - It needs to read XML "parse it etc" - variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing value...
How far is HTML (and SVG and CSS and WebGL and JavaScript) to reproducing what Flash/Flex can do today?
As a Flash and Flex developer it is a little disheartening to see the strides in HTML5. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against progress, for me it is just that currently it is easier to write an app in Flash vs AJAX. I love writing in Flash and Flex and think ActionScript is a really great language. But, it appears the strides made in...
Dynamic Sprites as3
I just cant figure out how to do this. Im not very familiar with as3 and it just keeps trowing errors at my face. One thing that bugs me most is not having a clue on what or when I need to import stuff. Im using flash builder and Im simply trying to make it grab grab an image from a xml file and place it on screen with the possibility t...
Flex/Flash: capture 'trace' in code?
In Flash/Flex, is it possible to capture the result of 'trace' in code? So, for example, if one part of the code calls trace("foo"), I'd like to automatically capture the string "foo" and pass it to some other function. Edit: I'm not interested in trying to use trace instead of a proper logging framework… I want to write a plugin for F...
string error "nothing in debug" actionscript 3
How do I fix this string error? This numberic counter works without the ADDITION STRING ARGUMENT. It's function is to add zero placeholders to the counter. It's close, but I need a second opinion.

Flash redirect problem when not loaded from the same vhost
We've got a flash file that takes a URL parameter for redirecting on click. When it's hosted from the primary domain, and the SWF is included in HTML from the primary domain, the redirect works properly. However, when it's hosted on the secondary domain, and the SWF is included in HTML from the primary domain, the redirect doesn't work...
Does SIFR work well cross-browser?

AS3: How do I check and reset variable on the main timeline from inside a movieclip
I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time). A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences. The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing. In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root....
Load mc's on button presses and check if mc's are running
I'd like to load and onload mc's on the stage when certain buttons are pressed. The catch is that whilst one of the mc's is playing I dont want any of the buttons to work -- in other words the user has to wait for the short anim to stop playing before they press another button to see another anim (or even the same anim again). I'm OK w...
open source streaming video technology that can copy Gakai and Onlive ?

It runs in a flash applet ! naturally i got curious at the video streaming technology behind Gakai.... is this only proprietary right now ? or are there open source solutions out there that can del...

Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be ...
