Hi all, I posted this in some flash forums but I thought it would be just as appropriate to post my question here too... Im creating a UI using Flash and OOP Actionscript; and my question relates to designing the menu navigation system. What needs to happen is fairly simple i guess : when a...

you cannot execute PHP inside flash :-) you can load variables returned from php by calling the php file on the server, or you can have flash embedded in your php-generated html page, with FlashVars parameters in the object and embed tags. If you just want to bring RSS feeds into flash, several...

you'll need to use a 3rd party utility like this one: http://brajeshwar.com/2006/zinc-win-mac-device-flash-projector-wrapperenhancer/ and I believe you cannot AutoStart on Mac OS-X these days...

for simple shapes you can use a mask and animate it: http://www.gomediazine.com/01/19/2007/an-angel-grows-wings-animated-mask-in-flash/

I dont think you're understanding inheritance correctly. It looks like you're mixing up inheritance and composition. A class defines a type of object. With inheritance you can create a class (subclass) which inherits the features of another class (the superclass). The Superclass doesnt control...

sure you can, in the html page take out the object and embed tags for those swfs and just include them like you did with the header and the buttons eg. <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("homepage.swf", "mymovie", "94", "22", "6", "#003399"); so.addParam("wmode"...

you can import those images as a series of frames, sure

youre using swfobject to get around having the box around the swfs (it uses javascript to write the object and embed tags in the html) however the movies that still have the box are included in the html page using regular object and embed html tags, not using SWFobject.

where is the FLV? is it external or embedded into the flash movie?

Brilliant, thats just what I meant :-) Thanks to your info i've written a class that stores an array of objects and type casts every time i retrieve the array element - this seems to work perfectly well: import com.mydomain.Page; class com.mydomain.PageCollection { private var...

Unfortunately flash does not natively support 3d. There are some actionscript libraries out there that can simulate 3d, but won't be for the beginner. This is quite new and looks cool: http://osflash.org/papervision3d Otherwise, this is a good application: http://www.erain.com/

yeah but my point is that you lose the benefit of Typing when you put Objects into an Array...

Ah i see what you're doing there - but can you type prop, and can func() access prop? Im writing an application which includes a slideshow with the content coming from xml - so ive created a data class to hold the xml data, and i wanted an array of 'slide' objects as a property of that data...

bit of a programming question here : I have a data object class in which I would like a property to be an array of objects , each with their own properties and methods. It seems that in actionscript , once put inside an array, an object loses its type - does anyone know if is there any way round...

Just discovered the problem - filename of an image that was preloading was too long. ARGH

sorry mate - FLV is rubbish :-) ive just done a project with lots of video and i couldnt get a decent enough quality at such a small file size I was using Sorenson Squeeze 4.0 with 96kbps audio and 364 kbps video at 320x240 which was kinda acceptable (3.5mb for a 20 second video)but i had the...

If all the functions are public you should be able to communicate between the different classes, however it looks like you are using the main timline in flash to define the application state (ie each frame). What I do is import my classes and instantiate them on the first frame, and have...

i think you need to use the instance name rather than the Var field to target the text field and use htmlText ie myTextInstance.htmlText = URL;

What i did was create a temporary partition, put the mac files plus shared files in it, then used that to create the mac volume in toast. for the pc volume (ISO) i put in the pc files, and dragged the shared folder from the temporary partition. It didnt add any file size when i did that so i...

oh i really panicked there :-) it seems like that relates to playing a FLV that resides on the local drive (ie hard disk) from a swf playing on a CD-rom? I burned a mac-only version of my project and it worked perfectly - so something seems to be going amiss with making it into a hybrid cd ...
