Flash :: Easy Flash/Flex Collaboration

Movie Collaboration - Please Join
Here's the deal: I'm a fan of Flash and Newgrounds, and I want to get into making movies and games sooner or later, so I thought I'd TRY to voice my ideas here, and maybe get a movie going with you Flashkit users.

Movie Details:
Name- "The Shadows"
Style- American anime, guns and swords
Time- Present to not too distant future
Parts Needed- Artist or two, animator, voice actors (optional).
Setting- Fictional but realistic country

Storyline:
The Shadows are a family. Father and son. When the president of the country is assassinated, forcing a new leader into place, new laws are set. Some rebel against the government, and form protest riots. The mother and daughter of the Shadow family died in one of these riots. That's where the Shadows come in.

The Shadows are skilled silent assassins, modern day american ninjas, if you will. They have worked for the government their whole life, and are highly payed to restore the country's peaceful communities and the organised government.

When on a mission together, the father is caught. The son watches from the shadows the rebels behead his father, therefore making him the main character. [end of episode one]

I really want to get better at Flash and debut into the Flash movie world with a good one.

Anyone in?? NOTE: The storyline is brief and not definate. Changes may be made.

(Urgent) Need Input To Solve Collaboration Issues...
QUESTION: What is the best way for multiple designers/developers to work together on a Flash project at the SAME TIME? Specifically a project that needs to share a common library files that are reused a lot?

I’m creating an interactive training demo for a business application. I’m recreating the interface and functionality of some of the key components (buttons, dropdown menus, etc.). Up till now, I’ve been the sole designer/developer on the project. Because I’m reusing so many of my library items (buttons, menus, background images, etc.) I decided to use a single library, and to have it all placed in a single *.swf file. MY movie has 13 main sections, each representing a part of the business application I’m mimicking - each of these 13 sections is represented in my movie as a Scene.

Like I said before, I’ve been the sole developer. This hasn’t been a problem… till now! Because of time constraints some additional help has been brought on board to work on this project with me. How can I have 2-3 of us working on this project at the same time? It’s only one file! We'll all be working with/updating our common library. Can I make my Library seperate from my main movie? Do I need to break up my 13 scene *.swf into 13 individual *.swf’s? Can I import my library items, and if so... from where?

I’m really stuck here and time is short HELP!!!

Collaboration, Shared Assets, And Large Projects
Would someone like to offer advice on the best practices for utilizing shared assets in large Flash projects. After perusing Macromedia's documentation and several newsgroups, I've found several cursory descriptions of problems folks have encountered and a single detailed, but very dated guide. Questions that come to mind are: When should we used run-time shared libraries vs. development time shared libraries? How do multiple engineers and designers manage updating components in those libraries, maintaining good version control? What are some problems with Shared Assets and the best solutions? What is the best paradigm for an efficient workflow that separates designers from engineers?

I believe that using shared assets will likely be the best solution for large, collaborative Flash projects. I also assume Macromedia has probably developed a good workflow utilizing shared assets, both run-time and design-time, but I have yet to find much detail about the issues.

Any comments, advice, tips or ways to avoid pitfalls especially would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Flex Reconnect Flex To Debugger Flash Player
I upgraded my OS (OSX) and Flex seems to have lost its connection to the the Debugger version of my Flash Player. I don't see an easy way to re-establish the connection. I've already directed the OS to open all .swfs in the debugger version of the player.

[Flex] Creating A Flash SWF And Using It In My Flex Project?
Hi there,

I recently got the demo for txeff and i was messing around with it. Quite cool, id consider a purchase but over 100 notes for some text effects is a scandal in my own meaningless opinion.

Anyways it had me wondering about something else. For example lets take a new Flash CS3 file containg a dynamic textField instance called "tF".

Is it possible to embed the SWF into a Flex project and dynamically populate the textFields propery?

Code:
[Embed(source="/assets/textFieldThing.swf")]
public var EmbeddedTextFieldThing:Class;

var myNewTextField:Sprite = new EmbeddedTextFieldThing() as Sprite;
//PS. Just wondered, can this be also done as Sprite(new EmbeddedTextFieldThing())? and what way is correct?

myNextTextField.tF.text = "I am trying to display this text in the embedded SWF".
addChild(myNewTextField);

This dont seem to work, it was worth a try though. Can anyone else give me some knowledge if this is possible or not. I find myself often using the API in flex when i could save alot of time in Flash IDE.

Cheers

[FLASH+FLEX] Call A Method In A Flex Swf From As3
Hello

here it is:
i have a flex file with methods inside and some as3 swf
The idea is to load the flex file in as3 swf, and when flex file is loaded, call a method from the flex file

here is the code process

Code:
var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
var flexAppli:URLRequest = new URLRequest("flexfile.swf");
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoadInit);
_loader.load(flexAppli);
and

Code:

private function onLoadInit(event:Event):void
{
var loader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader);
var newSprite:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newSprite.name = "LeFlexCharge";
newSprite.addChild(loader.content);
addChild(newSprite);
setChildIndex(newSprite, 0);
// here the method call
newSprite.mymethod(); //dont work
}
The problem is : when calling the mymethod from flex file, it does not work

So i did a trace on all elements in as3 file and i get an object like this
_MyFlexAppli_mx_managers_SystemManager

First question : What's this ?
Second Question : How to call my method ?

Thx for yr help

Develop FLEX Applications, Without Purchasing FLEX Server
BIG news today, Mike Chambers has announced that the next version of flexbuilder (codenamed zorn which will be an eclipse plugin) will be able to compile mxml and Actionscript files into swfs, without having the flex server. There will still be things that you need flex server for (enterprise level features, no word on what these are just yet) but you wont need it for most of your flex swfs. This is a HUGE deal btw.

You can see the post here: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mesh/a...zorn_requi.cfm

make sure you read through the comments, esp. my question and his answer.

Flex Dynamic DataGrid Creation In Flex 3
Hi All

Can anyone please suggest me a way to create a data grid dynamically in Flex 3.(I actually was want to create it thru Action Script.)
The data would come from the XML and the rows of the grid are also not going to be fixed. It will be dependent on the number of nodes in the XML.
The data grid will have 3 columns 1 containing a text field, and the rest 2 will contain small icons, all created dynamically.
It would be gr8 if some code related to that can be provided.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Flex RawChildren Ruins Layout In Flex 3
Hey all!

I've been playing around with Flex lately, and having come from a pure AS3 background, I couldn't help but create some simple effects in there for fun. That's when I hit a snag. Now, with Flex, I'd have to use the UIComponents' rawChildren object in order to add widgets of DisplayObject types... fair enough. Problem is when I do that, the components stop obeying layout rules, transitions stop working, etc.

The best way to really demonstrate this problem is to see the project itself. Here's a link to the project source:

http://www.thurinusworks.com/public/problem_src.zip

In there I created a Panel component that has view states and transitions, and an Application that holds that Panel and houses a bit of actionscript to create a sparkly mouse toy effect. If you commented out all the script for the mouse toy, you'll see that the Panel centers on the Application as you resize the window, and clicking the 'Register' link would display a nice elastic transition effect between view states. When the mouse toy is active, the Panel position stops working correctly, and clicking on the 'Register' link would simply display the view state with no transition. It happens intermittently, but seems to guarantee happening after the first SWF launch, so if you don't see it happening, relaunch the SWF and it should screw up.

I don't know what's causing it to break like this. It's either my error or a serious bug in Flex, and I dearly hope it's the former... If it is, what must I do to fix it? If it isn't, is there a work-around?

Thanks for *any* help you can provide!

Best regards,
Jay

Flex Filling Non-Flex Objects In A Repeat
Filling non-Flex objects in a Repeat

Hi guys,

For our current project were trying to put as much as possible of the display list structure into mxml. Because that's more readable.
This of course also includes using Repeat's for dynamical parts.

But, we build some parts in Flash. Just little peaces for skinning.
(We publish those as swc and use them in Flex)

We can't of course just use this in flex, but we have the DisplayObjectWrapper from Mr. Grant to fix that.
But despite of this wrapper I can't change the properties of non-Flex components within a Repeat, in mxml.

A simple example:

HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:text="flash.text.*"
xmlns:ui="com.gskinner.ui.*">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var texts:Array = ["a","b","c"]
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Repeater id="r" dataProvider="{texts}">
<ui:DisplayObjectWrapper>
<text:TextField text="{r.currentItem}" />
</ui:DisplayObjectWrapper>
</mx:Repeater>

</mx:Canvas>
This gives the (compile) error:
"Unable to generate initialization code within Repeater, due to id or data binding on a component that is not a visual child."

I went searching but couldn't find much. Only that you can get this error if you use the DataGridColumn in a certain way in a Repeat.

Anyone any idea how to get this working?

Thnx

Running A Flex App Outside Flex Builder
Hi all,

I've been working on a flex widget for a number of weeks and have just completed development and testing and want to upload the swf to a server! If I run the swf from flex builder it connects to the server fine and runs through the entire operation!

However if I try and run the swf from anyother location (I've only tried off a folder in my c drive and my desktop) I get an error connecting to the server?

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening or more likely what I'm doing wrong? I'm copying the swf from the bin folder in flex builder and then pasting it to a seperate location and trying to run it! It runs fine by double clicking on it in the bin folder but won't run anywhere else??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,

Flex I Need A Window Class In Flex
Hi ! I'm trying to make an application with windows. I want to load buttons, text, pictures, etc in each window. and i want to let the user move the window, close it ... maybe resize it and maximize/minimize it ... And the most important: It must have scrollBars. Because my content might be larger than the Window.

Now ... i am using Flex and it has some nice classes but i didn't found anything like what i was thinking about. For example the mx.containers.TitleWindow is a nice window that has a close button and i can easily add Children to it, it has that scrollBar ... But i can't move it, i can't resize it ...

Do you know any class? Or should i make a new one that extends the TitleWindow? and add the things i want ?

Free Flex 2 SDK Or Flex Builder 2
Am i correct in thinking you can only go so far with the Free Flex 2 SDK? And if you want to build something serious and efficiently you need buy stuff i.e Flex Builder?

Using A Flash SWC In A Flex App
Say I have a bitMap in my Flash library and I export it in a swc file. How would I reference the bitmap to get it to display in my Flex app.

I'm having trouble creating a shared library that can be used by Flash, Flex AS, and Flex.

In theory, providing Flex can access all items in a Flash swc file, can i just write a controller Class that you can pass arguments defining what kind of app the swc was being used in and it in turn would provide the different methods based on what app you are using?

Does that make sense?

Flex And Flash
I am trying the Flex trial and enjoying it so far. The code editor is superior to flash. Obviously I still love flash for the time-line editing and vector tools, so if this works out I plan on using both.

I have but one issue with flex (other than its built on eclipse

My issue: I make an object in Flash and put it on the stage, and give it an instance name. When I go back to Flex, I will do this.object.instanceName, and because the object has not been created via code Flex can't find the instance and will throw an error. For a lot of objects, this can get really distracting. Once executed in flash, it works fine, but when Flex keeps displaying many errors it can get pretty annoying.

I know an option is to make all your objects in Flex, but for really flashy websites this will take forever.

Is there any way to get around this? Maybe turn this off somehow?

Thanks,
NB

Is Flex AS3 Different Than Flash AS3?
Hi,

I've never installed or used Flex but I always assumed it used the same AS3 as Flash. However, I'm currently trying to help troubleshoot an AS3 project and a class is trying to import mx.core.SpriteAsset. I searched my entire system for SpriteAsset.as file but to no avail, and Googling it only found Flex-related articles.

So are there features of AS3 that are proprietery only to Flex? Will I be dead in the water trying to troubleshoot this project without Flex installed? Would I have access to all the Flex classes by installing the Flex SDK? Are there any other differences I should be on the lookout for?

Sorry, I'm quite confused here. Thanks for any help!

Flex And Flash, Flash And Flex
I've been going through the ActionScript 3 cookbook from O'Reily and the fist 30 some odd scripts are made in Flex builder 2.

I'm trying to convert some of the classes I've made into flash compatiple ones and am running into nothing but problems.

Here is the class code:

Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class SimpleDrawingApp extends Sprite
{
private var _sprite:Sprite;

public function SimpleDrawingApp()
{
_sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(_sprite);
_sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xffffff);
_sprite.graphics.drawRect(0,0,400,400);
_sprite.graphics.endFill();

_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
}

private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void{
_sprite.graphics.lineStyle(5,0,1);
_sprite.graphics.moveTo(mouseX,mouseY);
_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onMouseMove);
}

private function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
_sprite.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onMouseMove);
}

private function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void{
_sprite.graphics.lineTo(mouseX,mouseY);
}
}
}
Here is the FLA code:

Code:
var drawingApp:SimpleDrawingApp = new SimpleDrawingApp;
and this is the error I get:

Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onMouseDown event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( 'mouseDown', callback_handler).

Flex To Flash And Some More...
Good afternoon fellow flashers!

I've got this rather annoying problem that I hope someone can help me with.

I've slightly modified a flex script from Andre Michele to run in flash. I just removed some parts from the original flex script related to the flex document information. No biggie. It runs fine. Hurrah!

The problem occurs when I try to load this particular swf (B.swf) into
A.swf. Then, surprisingly the compiler start complaining:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main$iinit()

It has been suggested to me that this error stems from the fact that the object has not been added to the display list. But I believe I have tried to do so after the swf has been loaded, with no luck.

Well heres the timeline script that generates the error (A.swf) :

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("B.swf");
ldr.load(urlReq);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, loaded);

function loaded(event:Event):void
{
trace("LOADED")
addChild(ldr);

// also tried : addchild(ldr.content)

}

I've verified that the above script loads any other AS 3.0 based swf
But not this one.

Below is the script from B.swf in a simplified form :

// MAIN.AS

package
{
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;

import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.geom.Point;

public class Main extends Sprite
{
private var output: BitmapData;

public function Main()
{
output = new BitmapData( 100, 100, true, 0 );
stage.addChild( new Bitmap( output ) );
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, createExplosion );
stage.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, render );
}
private function createExplosion( event: Event ): void
{
trace("createExplosion") ;
}

private function render( event: Event ): void
{
trace("render")
}
}
}

Well , that's it. I surely hope that someone can lead me to a solution to this problem.

Using Flash, Flex, AS2 And AS3 Together
Hi all,

We are currently developing an author environment for a flash GIS mapping application.

The author environment is developed in flex, so it uses flash 9, actionscript 3.

It would be nice to load the author environment on top of/floating above the flash application. Is this possible? As the GIS flash application only uses flash 8, AS 2.

As far as I know, it is not possible to load the flex application, strait away from the flash 7, as2 application (scenario 2) so we think of a as 3, flash 9 container clip (scenario 1) which then opens the flash map application and flex author.
Scenario 3 would also be an option. GIS application compiled to FL9, AS2 which opens the author.
The most ideal situation would be the GIS flash application on the root. (because of javascript API)
Which scenario is the best? If you have any other creative idea, please let me know.
See the attached jpeg scenery sketches for more clarity.
With best regards,

Steven van Rij

Flex Better Than Flash...BUT
Flex is a very powerfull tool; it imports things you use automatically and has a autocomplete function as you type and when you type "." AND when you hit ctrl + space; you dont need a fla just a main .as script

however when i debug it to see the trace messages(only way in flash) I get
[SWF] C:Documents and SettingsDiscipolDesktop est
esourcespictures grass1.swf - 2.648 bytes after decompression
.........a thounsand times this
[SWF] C:Documents and SettingsDiscipolDesktop estin
esourcespictu resgrass1.swf - 2.648 bytes after decompression

just floods the console output.... hot to disable these (or disable all such outputs and leave only my traces)

Flex And Flash
Hello

I've recently started learning flash/action script - my aim is to be able to create 'fancy'/animated/clean flash websites and I'm wondering if I should go for flex or flash (actionscript 3).

Can I do the same things with flex as with flash (it seems more familiar to me because I'm a programmer)? What are the pros and cons?

Many thanks in advance!

From Flash 8 To Flex 1.5
Hi all.

I've developed in two years some RIAs with Flash Mx2004/8.

Now a client has gived me a big project to develop and I'm thinking to create it in Flex 1.5.

I've some questions:

1) Is Flex better than Flash for creating RIAs?
2) Is Flex simpler than Flash for creating RIAs?
3) For a user like me, with two years of experience in Flash, is better to create this project with Flash or is better with Flex?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thx for all the support.

p.s. sorry for my english
