I've been a member here for a looooong time. I may not have contributed as much as I should have, but I've always found Flashkit to be a reliable and valuable resource.

After Steve Job's fateful...

I've decided. I've decided that I'm not going to abandon Flash.
This is my statement. I've created so much using actionSctipt. I've built so much... I've built complex rendering engines... used...

Now remember, this just fixes my problem with connecting to Akamai (it was a security issue). Your mileage may vary.

Hi,

I'm diving back into AS2 to help a vendor. I've never extended a component class in AS2, and I'm having problems with it now.

Here's my class file:

import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
import...

Okay. I'm stupid. I missed this:

publish_ns.attachCamera(local_cam)

done.

Okay, here's an update.

Audio is streaming in, but not video. I'm still stumped.

I'm attempting to get my LiveStreamCast code to work in AS3. I have code for AS2. I'm no longer throwing error, and it all "seems" to be working fine, but the subscribed video never appears. The...

Thanks for the hint. All is now good in Flash land.

So, my issue is this:

I want to access XML like this:


someXML..nodeName

This returns elements with the name "nodeName"

I need to do this dynamically like

Set your flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver=false

This keeps your stuff on the screen.

I'm one of those Flash programmers. I came into it from the outside; from design. I learned to program using Flash. OOP in Flash is more fun!

Anyway, I look at Flex and most Adobe components and...

Until we're able to get the input from the other pointers, we can make do by developing objects that behave like pointers, and examining how people touch screens.

Abstraction:

Abstraction is the key for loading functionality dynamically.

Note: If you don't understand what "which", "this", and "that" mean, you'll have trouble building this interface.

Using "class structured" methods at compile time is weak.

I can't dynamically assign the code I need to load at runtime, on the client. ...

What's going on with this method? myMedia.displayFull() does nothing for me. Any ideas?

--Whoops, only works with MediaPlayback component, not MediaDisplay.

Hi,
You probably want to use the movieClipLoader class. Here's a snippet of code from one of my projects:


var loadListener:Object = new Object();
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new...

you're the opposite of retarded: Dedrater.

One way would be to use setInterval and updateAfterEvent(). For example:

twelveFPSanimation = function () {
if (someMovieClipOrRoot._currentframe == someMovieClipOrRoot._totalframes) {...

I needed a scroller for generic reuse. Here is one that I whipped up. It's a prototype of the movieClip class. It's all code so it stays very light.

Just use like so
...

HTML is a form of XML, so you could write an incredibly complicated parsing and rendering engine to duplicate the functionality of the browser... hypothetically. Check out Kaplan's Flash stuff. It...

Here it is a a prototype.


MovieClip.prototype.slideTo = function(x, y, a) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
newX = (this._x - x) / a;
newY = (this._y - y) /...

Here's a simple deceleration script.


foo.onEnterFrame = function() {
//final pos is where it will end up.
finalPos = new Object({x:300, y:120});
newX = (this._x - finalPos.x) / 10;
newY...

The problem is with timing. Here we wait two seconds before the text field is set as the target of the scroller.
loadVariablesNum("oils.txt", 0);
this.attachMovie("UIScrollBar", "scr", 0);...

The 'ol for...in loop.

test = new XML("<testNode attrib1='someValue 1' attrib2='someValue 2' attrib3='someValue 3' attrib4='someValue 4'>I'm a text node</testNode>").firstChild

You can use one, or more. That is the point. Somtimes you may want to organize your code. In any case, this code is just a little helper script that can reduce the size of your code. It's fine if you...
