A (non-Flash) Programmer Needs Help
I'm a professional web programmer with experience in PHP, PERL, Java, C++, the works...

Now I'm trying to get my head around ActionScript. The actual programming is easy, but the enviroment isn't.


I'm trying to do a movie where an object resizes itself in realtime on basis of where the mouse is. I've been trying it with the mouse moving over a button, like this:

on (rollOver) {
setProperty ("Ball", _xscale, _ymouse);
}

Problem is Flash seems to think one resize is enough, and stops there.


How would I create a script which would resize react to the mouse in realtime, generally speaking? Help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Need A Flash Programmer
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. I was trying to find a freelance / looking to hire forum but couldn't. If this is the incorrect forum, mod please move it to the appropriate one.

Anywyas what I need to do is create a simple tutorial for users on how to use my site (425x425 window). Something a lot like demodemo.com has except there would be a voice with a mute option (voice provided).

Anyways if you're interested, please PM me some of your examples (preferably similar to what i'm requiring) and pricing.

Regards,
Milun Tesovic

A Programmer's Look At Flash 8
Flash 8 was announced today (August 8, 2005) and that always means two things. There is not only a new version of the Flash authoring environment but also a new version of Flash Player. This article will examine many of the new features available to programmers in Flash Player 8. Expect more in-depth articles on these topics in the next few weeks and months.

File Upload
Probably the most requested feature in the history of Flash is the ability to upload files via Flash Player. This has been available in HTML for years via the <input type="file" /> tag. Now, thanks to the great engineers at Macromedia, we can finally do this in Flash without some kludgy JavaScript, hidden-frame solution. There is a nice new API called FileReference that is used to prompt the user for a file and send it to the server. The following code shows just how simple this really is:

import flash.net.FileReference;

function onSelect(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
selectedFile.upload("http://www.somelocation.com/Upload.cfm");
}

var imageFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
imageFile.addListener(this);
imageFile.browse([{description:"Image Files", extension:"*.jpg;*.gif;*.png"}]);

Code 1 Uploading an image to the server using the FileReference class.

Loading of GIF, PNG and Progressive JPEG Files
Another long awaited feature in Flash 8 is the ability to dynamically load GIF, PNG and Progressive JPEG files at runtime. In previous versions of Flash Player, only SWF and standard JPEG files could be loaded. This opens the door to a wider number of options including GIF and PNG files with alpha transparency.

External Interface
Communication between Flash and its host, usually a browser, has always been tricky. The fscommand seemed to always have bugs and it wasn't easy to use. The release of the Flash/JavaScript Integration Kit helped with Flash and JavaScript communication, but it still wasn't ideal. Finally, we have a solid solution. The External Interface is a replacement for the fscommand. It is used to allow Flash to communicate with its host. This could be a projector written in Java or C#, but most commonly it will be the browser. The following two code blocks show how easy the External Interface is to use:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashFunction", this, flashFunction);

Code 2 ActionScript code for making a function available to JavaScript.

ExternalInterface.call("javascriptFunction");

Code 3 ActionScript code for calling a JavaScript function.

It is also very simple to call an ActionScript function from JavaScript. All you need to do is get a reference to the OBJECT or EMBED tag, depending on the browser, and then call the function that was made available inside the SWF. The following code shows just how simple this is:

<script language="JavaScript">
window.onload = function() {
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
var flash = window.flashObject;
}else {
var flash = window.document.flashObject
}
flash.actionscriptFunction();
}
</script>

Code 4 JavaScript code for calling an ActionScript function.

The External Interface is one of my favorite new features in Flash 8 and I am excited to see the creative uses of it. Besides being stabler and easier to use than fscommand, External Interface offers these additional benefits:

The ability to call ActionScript functions from JavaScript.
Cleaner syntax to call functions.
The ability to send Objects, Numbers, and Booleans both ways instead of just Strings.
Functions can return values.
Any JavaScript function can be called from within ActionScript.

Scale 9
For component developers, one of the biggest pains is scaling boxes with rounded corners. They don't scale properly unless you break the box into a grid with 9 cells and scale the middle cell and reposition the other cells around it. The following graphic shows this technique:


Figure 1: These images show how the scale 9 technique would break a graphic into 9 sections.

Not only is this a pain, but it is also a lot of excess code and processing. The Scale 9 feature in Flash Player 8 makes this much easier. By simply defining the portion of your graphic that you want to scale, you can keep your rounded corners from distorting. The following shows the code for scale 9:

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

movieclip.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(10, 10, 80, 80);

Code 5 ActionScript needed to set the scale9Grid property of a MovieClip.

As you can see, the scale 9 feature allows for easier and more precise control when scaling MovieClips. I suspect skinning components in the future will also be much easier in large part due to the scale 9 feature. The following two images show the difference in scaling a graphic with and without the scale 9 feature enabled:


Figure 2: Graphic scaled without using the scale 9 technique.


Figure 3: Graphic scaled using the scale 9 technique.

Bitmap Caching & Effects
Perhaps the largest enhancement to Flash 8 is the new bitmap control. For the first time, developers now have control of pixels at runtime. This includes the highly anticipated Bitmap Caching that caches a vector as a bitmap to allow for faster rendering. But even more exciting are the bitmap effects. Flash 8 will ship with a set of bitmap effects that enable you to manipulate visual elements and add effects at runtime. This applies to anything in your movie, including images, vector shapes and even video. The following is a list of the new classes available in Flash 8 that work with bitmaps:

flash.filters.BevelFilter
flash.filters.BlurFilter
flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter
flash.filters.ConvolutionFilter
flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter
flash.filters.DropShadowFilter
flash.filters.GlowFilter
flash.filters.GradientBevelFilter
flash.filters.GradientGlowFilter
flash.geom.ColorTransform
flash.geom.Matrix
flash.geom.Point
flash.geom.Rectangle
flash.geom.Transform
Many developers have already started playing with this new pixel-level control. Here are some examples:

Particle effects using setPixel
Color Picker using getPixel to determine the color of the pixel directly under the mouse
Examples showing how cacheAsBitmap can drastically improve performance:
Example 1
Example 2
Displacement Map examples
Conclusion
Flash 8 is being sold as the biggest release of Flash to date. I don't know if that is true or not, but there are some very interesting features in it. After reading this article, I hope that Flash developers out there are excited about jumping into some of these new features. Look for some exciting Community MX articles in the next few weeks that will dive into these topics in greater depth.

What Is Useful For A Flash Programmer?
I am not going to break rules and advertise our product, even if it's mentioned in my signature.

I just want to ask Flash programmers - is there any need in Powerpoint to flash conversion? There are software developers who create such products, but none of them can clear out if it can be useful for Flash developers. My friend from the US told me that here is the place where almost the best gather to communicate.

And i'll appreciate if you tell me "Yes, such software can be useful" or "No need in it".

Programmer Coming To Flash - Tips?
Hi all,

I'm a programming type guy that got pulled into doing some scripting for Flash and integrating with the backend, via PHP and whatnot.

For someone who is by nature a programmer, when I look at Flash my instinct is to create a movie that only has one frame and do everything via ActionScript...of course this is probably not the best way of doing things...and there is probably alot of stuff I can't do that way.

So, what tips do you guys have for someone coming from a coding background but that has to do some work in Flash?

Also, I have heard that using scenes is not a good idea and can cause heavy scripting roadblocks. I'd really like to understand this better so I can be able to communicate effectively to the person who is building the flash front end for our project, in case they would like to use scenes...

Any tips, comments, advice, would be greatly appreciated!

Controlling Flash Links (PHP Programmer)
Hello everybody,

I don't know anything really about flash, but I'm desigining my site's ad rotation script, and I'd like to allow advertisers to use flash ads, but have no idea how to use them. I've read enough to know how to include them on the page, but what I was wondering was:

1) How can I link a flash file... I understand there are ways to do it when desigining the swf, but is there any way to override that and link to the location I supply?
ie: tracker.php?link=theadvertisementtarget...

2) What extras would flash ad developers want to see in an ad script... This might go open source (undecided as of yet), and I'd like to have most, if not all, of the features that would be desired in this area...

Thanks for your time,
James Kassemi

Total Newbie Question (Take III) For Old Flash Programmer
All I want to do is to implement a hierarchy that looks like this:

Canvas -> Sprite -> Button

A Canvas holds a Sprite that holds a Button. Problem is, any control I add in the Sprite does not appear. Here's the code:


HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" >

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.containers.Canvas;

protected function init():void
{
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
s.graphics.drawCircle(5,5,25);

var b = new Button();
b.label = "My Button";
s.addChild(b);// add button to Sprite

//canvas.addChild(s); // I can't do this, as Sprite does not implement IUContainter

//...so I do this, which is what the docs say to do
var u:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
u.addChild(s);
canvas.addChild(u);
}

]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Canvas id="canvas" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="init()"/>

</mx:Application>
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. This should be simple, but I've been trying for days to get this to work. Thanks in advance for your help.

Flash And PHP Ready Guestbook
Alright, this one may be a lil tougher, so im going to just wait and see if any of you can help me.

My site is currently going under total makeover. I am changing it to the extent that i basicly redid my whole server. now, i eventually will have 3 versions to the site.

Lite, which will concist of only and purely languages like html, php, cgi etc... whatever it takes to apply my needs but with no flash whatsoever.

a medium site, wich will be just like the first one in design except much more advanced than the lite.

and a super site, which would be completely using flash

basicly its Dial-up, Broadband and Broadband with high memory and processor.

with so many versions, i need to have mysql, php and flash worktogether as one so that no mather what version of the site you go too, things like my forum and my guestbook will be exactly the same datawise.

so my question is, does anyone have any idea as to what i can do to access the same data on both flash and php/html?

if you have any ideas that would be great, if not, i guess i''ll have to settle using popup windows. (hopefully i wont have to go there)

Making Your Flash Film Ready For The Web
Hi! I've made a flash film that I want to upload to my website. I want it to be locked at a certain size so that it runs at the correct speed (i't s a music video so it's very important). Further, I would like to add a "loading screen" and a "play button". And also make it stop when the film is over instead of looping it.

I guess this is pretty simple stuff, but can anyone give me a hint in the right direction? Would be very happy. =)

I'm Ready To Try And Make My First Flash Site
I have an idea on what I'm looking to do for a flash site. I am totally new to making a site. I've done some animations here and there I've got the basics down at least.
I'm going to make it about 6 scenes I guess pages. And some little eye candy and the works.

What I would like to ask you all were can I learn more about action scripts and what scripts work best for opening new scenes, adding button effects and effects in general.

And what is the best way to create my own flash forum and flash chat room?

I think thats it. I'll ask questions when I am stuck and need addvice I hope to get it done one day. I'm going to try my best. I'm already having a site built for me but I'm going to try and make my own for my stories and bio.

Later.

I'm in the process of creating a website that uses a few Flash .swf files. I'm trying to substitute one of the Image Ready slices in my Dreamweaver file with an .swf file that uses the same background image, (Ive added a short animation to it) however, I'm having a problem with size and alignment of .swf slice. The size of the image ready slice and .swf are the same exact size, but when tested in the browser, the size of the swf slice is slightly smaller. Any suggestions as to how I can fixt this size and alignment issue?

Beginner Flash Programmer Experiencing Strange Side Effects...
Hello,
I just recently started using Flash to add some flavor to my site. I replaced a 'feedback' GIF that was on my site with a flash button I created last night. The flash button has to link to a page on my website called feedback.htm. I used the 'geturl' behavior to make the button a link. It works great! I also have a Java navigation menu on the same page (different frame). When the Flash button is added to the page, the link works great from the button, but now every button on my Java navigation menu also brings up the feedback.htm page. Any ideas on how to fix this? The Flash button was loaded in several places throughout my site (it's since been removed). Every page that is viewed with the flash button displays the same effect. Thanks for any input!

Can Flash Recognize When Asp Server-side Is Ready
I use a thirdparty flashuploader and asp for uploading multiple files to a server at once. This works perfectly. When the uploading is done it redirect to a page which contains multiple records. Only the just uploaded files are not shown. When refreshing the page it shows up.

My question is.

Redirect with flash upload control doesn't work perfect because flash doesn't know when ASP server-side is ready. Is there a control inside flash to recognize when the server-side is ready. The third-party does not give any answer on this.

Is God A OO Programmer?
Sorry, don't know if this is the right section, but...

Last night I was talking to a physics professor about 'Our World'.
He said: this world is based on physics... But I'm quite sure this world is based on Objects, I thing God (or whatever...) is a sort of OO programmer, and our life is predetermined via properties and methods.
So, physics is only a derivation (derivated? oh, God (or whatever...), my english!) by rules established by "The Original Programmer".

Am I demented? Is anyone else thinking like me?

A Little Help For A Non Programmer
I am creating a front splash page for my website.

I would like to have a jpeg image on this, and if you have flash it gets replaced by the swf file so it's obvious that you have flash installed.

im sure this is easy to do, can someone point me in the right direction to solve this for me please.

cheers

Programmer's Day
I know it might be a little late for some of you, but...

Code:
var year:Number = new Date().getFullYear();
var programmersDay:Date = new Date(year, 0, 256);
var today:Date = new Date();

if (programmersDay.getDate() == today.getDate() && programmersDay.getMonth() == today.getMonth()) {
trace("Happy Programmer's Day!");
}

[F8] Game Studio Needs Flash Game Programmer
Hi -

I've been working on cartoon Flash interfaces for awhile. Now my clients want games, so I'm looking for one or two Flash game actionscripters who can help out and maybe start a studio. Since it's a startup, I'm looking for someone who's good, but not yet making millions - hoping we can do that ourselves eventually. Someone dependable, easy-going and easy to get along with. Would be great to find someone relatively local, but not absolutely necessary.

We'll be creating custom Flash games for an existing client.

Hoping to check out people's games first.

J.

Programmer Wanted
Hello,

I am going to make this as descriptive as possible so you have a real idea what it is I am looking for. I run a website, www.flashstand.com, it has had an arcade for about 4 months now, but it is in no way up to par (closed now). It was full of pac-man and space invader games, that no one wanted to play due to horrible lack of intrest. Our website recieves on average about 2000 unique hits a day (our post count was restarted a week ago and we already have 5,000 with no spam). All of the current staff is working hard to upgrade and make our site better in every way possible, but for the arcade, we need some help. We are looking for ONE person who can follow through with the following credentials:

1. Is on almost daily and eager to help.
2. Has a good attitude.
3. Has been working with actionscript for 1+ years.
4. Has access to Flash MX 2004 (exceptions may apply).
5. Has either AIM or IRC. (www.aim.com, www.mirc.com)

If you fit those credentials and want to help, you will be doing the following:

1. Interpretating our game ideas into a playable game.
2. Using our artists art to make the game.
3. Program the game via actionscript and make it a playable game.
4. There will be a 2 week deadline per game. (This will change for complex games, but this deadline applies to simple games like "Catch the apple and feed it to the monster in 60 sec.")

If you are interested you can contact us through:

AIM: brcolow3 or ThaWeasel1337
E-mail: brcolow@flashstand.com
IRC: irc.gamesnet.net #flashstand

Thank you and we look foward to working with you!
-Mike

Looking For A Programmer To Help My Code....
Tell me why the trace("called1") works, yet the second one in function centerElement, trace("called2"), doesn't work:

class Elements {
private var el_target:MovieClip;
private var el_imageContainer:MovieClip;
function Elements() {
el_target = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("element1", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
el_imageContainer = el_target.createEmptyMovieClip("image_container", 1);
var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var imageLoaderLister:Object = new Object();
imageLoaderLister.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
centerElement();
trace("called1");
};
imageLoader.addListener(imageLoaderLister);
imageLoader.loadClip("symbol1.swf", el_imageContainer);
}
function centerElement():Void {
trace("called2");
}
}

Any Experienced Programmer?....Please HELP
Hello everybody.

I'm trying to build this website and I got to the point where I REALLY need somebody's help since I don't know much about programming.
I will try to explain...I have flash 8

I have a 6 buttons (b1, b2, b3...b6) and 6 animations(a1, a2, a3...a6) all in the same scene

I have a piece of code that allows me to activate and deactivate the buttons when they are Pressed/Released.
I want to link each animation to one button, for example: When "b1" is Activate to gotoAndPlay the frame 1 of animation "a1", and so on, when "b2" is activate to play "a2", etc.

Here's the code that I have for the buttons:

code: var myButtons = [this.b1, this.b2, this.b3, this.b4, this.b5, this.b6];

for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++){
myButtons[i].onRelease = function() {
this._parent.activateItem (this);
}
}

this.activateItem = function(item) {
if (this.currentItem != false) this.deActivateItem();
this.currentItem = item;
this.currentItem.gotoAndStop("in");
this.currentItem.enabled = false;
}

this.deActivateItem = function() {
this.currentItem.enabled = true;
this.currentItem.gotoAndPlay("out");
this.currentItem = undefined;
}

this.stop

Book To Get For A C++ Programmer
Just wonder if someone could recommend a book for someone that has programmed in C++ constant for a few years. I have used flash casualy to make animations but nothing with actionscript. I have this book:
Here
but I'm thinking it may be too basic. I need to learn as much actionscript as I can and pretty quickly. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Begginner Programmer
Hey! I've been writing my first piece of actionscript (without copying and pasting it or typeing it exactly the same as somewhere else) but there is a problem. I have a movieclip called man with the instance name of man. now inside the movieclip ive got two layers: LAYER 1 and CONTROL. on LAYER 1 there are 4 keyframes (showing the guy kicking) and on frame 1 and 4 of the layer CONTROL there are stop actions to prevent the guy from continuously kicking. i want him to kick when the right key is pressed so this is the code i put on the first frame of my movie:

stop();

onClipEvent (load) {}

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {}
_root "man" (gotoAndPlay) (2);


I havent got the slightest idea why this isnt working because of my knowledge of actionscript (basically none).

could someone please tell me wut is wrong?

Thanks a heap!

Drink Beer If You Are Not A Programmer
I heard about MX 2004, that this Product is only interesting for Programmers.

Designers can even work with the old MX Studio. There is no necessery to change, also because the new Product of much expensive than the old one. There is a new Professional Version.

So if i would be you, i would better drink beer

Programmer With Too Much Time On His Hands...
Not sure if this is OT, but I thought some of the other AS gurus (and/or geeks) might get a kick out of this. This is what happens when an AS programmer gets bored...

Old Fashioned Programmer Need Explanations...
HI. Heres my problem: I need to use those components that MX2004 has, because there is another person in the project that was using it already. This person isn't, in a fact, a programmer. I used to do my own "components", that is, I have my persnoal movie clips with the looks I wnat and script I know.
So, please clarify this to me:
1. Can't I change the look of these components? I cant even edit then!
2. Where does the script of those behaviours is?
3. I can't even change the font face of a textArea!
4. Do you think that's the way Flash is going to go? It is (becoming, it seems...) a lot like Delphi...

I used to ignore components in MX, but now it seems I cannot do it anymore.
Yours, frightened
