I have a variable of type Number, and i like to obtain the sign (if is '-' i like to have -1 and if '+' i like to have 1). So, i made this: var sign = Math.abs(n) / n; But, there is any other way? Better than this? ...
Hi! I am looking for an addon that can say characters vocally. It is for non-commercial use, and it would be nice if it can vocalize more languages, like asian, english etc... I have googled it, but can't seem to find anything for free use. Update: This is for web use ...
I'm looking for suggestions on Flash realtime servers. Currently, we use a combination of Moock's Unity and Red5, but there are a couple problems. First, we are moving to AS3, and Unity only supports AS2. Secondly, Red5 is pretty flaky for us, we'd prefer something more stable. We can't use the official Flash Media Server, it's a bit out...
Ok, I'm using the term "Progressive Enhancement" kind of loosely here but basically I have a Flash-based website that supports deep linking and loads content dynamically - what I'd like to do is provide alternate content (text) for those either not having Flash and for search engine bots. So, for a user with flash they would navigate to:...
Per this Adobe KB tech note is there any way around having to place the FLVPlayback skin SWF in same directory as HTML file the container SWF is loaded from? It pains me to have to put a SWF in my site's root directory. I think loading the Flash video in an iframe would solve this problem, but is that a good practice? I generally shy ...
This discussion started over here but I thought it would be nice to have a definitive answer... So let's say you have MovieClip on the Stage (or a UIComponent for the Flex audience) - what do you have to do to not make it so that the user can't see the object but also so that the AVM2 doesn't even factor it in when rendering the stage f...
I have a generated HTML page with flash content in it. I am trying to reposition the flash content and make it "absolute". I have tried to wrap the object tags with a div tag, but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Removing the generated positioning attributes does not work. See relevant code below (it is not very neat, bu...
How do you trigger a javascript function using actionscript in flash? The goal is to trigger jQuery functionality from a flash movie ...
I create a TextArea in actionscript: var textArea:TextArea = new TextArea(); I want it to have a black background. I've tried textArea.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0x000000); and I've tried textArea.opaqueBackground = 0x000000; but the TextArea stays white. What should I do? ...
What are the main reasons for having ridiculously long export times for a simple flash movie to swf? I have no unnecessary images or symbols, everything possible is set to lower than low and it still takes 10 minutes and upwards to export a 30 second animation at 24 fps. I have even created a new fla and pasted everything in there, to fi...
Is it possible to open an html page using navigateToURL and specifying a named frame in your html document. For instance, if you have an iframe on the page called "Steven", can you call navigateToURL("someURL","Steven"); instead of something like navigateToURL("someURL","_self"); I have tried this and it opens the URL in a new wind...
I would like to include a Google map in a Flash site I am building. I would like to retain as much of the zoom, print, copy/send url, direction functionality as is practically possible. Please could somebody advise the best way to do this? Thanks. ...
How can i make my flash applications in a browser in full screen mode? I know that the stage can be put in that mode, but when i run the application in any browser this doesn't work. So, this can be done, but how? ...
I have an idea for a website which involves a canvas area which has no limit to its size. Basically you would be able to add items to the canvas (notes, photos whatever really). You would then be able to drag the canvas which would move those items along with the canvas until they disappear of screen. If you dragged the canvas back the o...
PNG images appear "fuzzy" in flash CS3. They are very blocky and appear unanti-aliased (if that is a word) Does anyone have a fix for this? Is there some setting I'm missing? ...
Is there a way using Flash (CS3+AS3) to determine if the published swf is running in a debug player or in Flash's debug mode? I'm aware that Flex provides the ability to setup different build targets (release/debug) and that you can use something like CONFIG::debug for #ifdef style inclusion of code at compile time. I'm imagining somet...
Anyone know of a good memory/disk caching library for AIR? Extra points for being compatible with Flash CS3, and being free (as in beer). I'd like to cache results of http requests: both binary and text (xml). ...
I'd like to know if Flash/AS3 has any nice way to convert an AS3 'Date' object to/from rfc-850 timestamp format (as used by HTTP date and last-modified). This question is very similar to this question about rfc 3339, except it's specific to AS3 and rfc-850. RFC-850 is like: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:09:43 GMT ...
Is there a way to access the response headers from an HTTP result when using Flash/Flex's URLLoader? Setting the request headers is possible, as is accessing the response code, but getting a hold of the actual response headers seems to be conspicuously lacking... Specifically, I would like to get a hold of the Last-Modified response he...
