How do I properly draw one vector object onto a specific position of another in ActionScript, accounting for positioning, transparency, etc? My idea (as suggested e.g. here) was to use beginBitmapFill() and drawRect() to draw a bitmap copy (made using BitmapData.draw()) of one MovieClip onto the .graphics property of the other MovieClip...

Hi, We need to create a flash application, where there would be a "menu page". When you click a link here, it will take you to another page with a completely different layout and functions. Now I am new to Flash and wondering how this is normally done. If it is HTML, you would create 2 HTML pages that link to each other. Do you create...

I can set wmode to transparent and can get the dropdown to overlap the HTML fine but then the HTML below is unselectable, even when the dropdown...

I have this AS2 code that does some simple animations when I rollover a mc using TweenLite. I feel that I have a lot of repeating code. Is there a way to be able to just specify a function like this boxLink(a); and have the rest of the code, with the path to the target movieclip in the function instead of in the function variable? H...
Im breaking my head against the table right now. I have a flash batch uploader, which puts every file through upload.php which thumbnails the images, and moves them to appropriate directories. When I upload in IE, it functions perfectly (never thought I'd say this), but in Firefox, when flash executes upload.php it has its own session va...
Currently, a site I developed plays mp3 files directly in JW Player using the file attribute and public URLs to the mp3 file. This is now an issue with the client for legal reasons, and they now need to stream the audio files so that the users can't open up their cache and nab the files directly after downloading. The JW player site has...
I renamed a movie clip in Flash CS4. After renaming and updating any references I had to it, the swf would still play fine. However, I could no longer get to any of the actionscript I had in the movie clip. It would still execute, but I couldn't get to the script anywhere in the Flash CS4 UI. Any ideas? The only way I was able was to get...
Check out this code: import mx.core.View; var accordianPane = my_acc.createSegment("mcElectrical", "panel0", "Electrical", "payIcon"); accordianPane.comboBox.addItem("test"); This adds an item with label "test" to a combo box in a movie clip. It works perfectly fine. However, when I put the same code in a callback function, it fails. ...
I use expiring urls to hide the urls of images I use on my sites, so that they can only be hotlinked for the duration of the life of the hash (1 hour). I check the hash sent with the file url, against a hash on the server, if they match, the script calls the following code: if (isset($_GET["hash"])) { $this_min = date('Y-m-d-g',ti...

My SWF, when decompiled with flash decompiler, is generating an empty FLA. The flash object also makes use of an XML file which is not being exported along with the SWF object. What could be done to decompile properly? ...
I need a button in Flash/AS3 that toggles between on and off. So I was glad to see that the Button class has the toggle property that lets me have that behavior. I was less happy to see that what I get when I make something a "button" in the Flash file is an instance of SimpleButton class, which does not have that option. Is there a way...
My swf is occasionally crashing the browser (or just crashing the plugin as chrome tells me). How do I diagnose the bug? I am developing for flash player 9 using flex.
