[Flashcoders] Two Solutions: Flex swc’s (RP C) and or Intrinsic classes within Flash CS3!

Hi FlashCoders!, I’ve been trying to evangelize my solution to the flash community but I don’t think it came through, really... I hope someone on this list will pick it up! I was looking for a solution to get Flex RPC support within Flash CS3 (and NOT the other way around). What I found out

Hi Jon, It's great to hear your response, I was very happy myself when I found out myself :-) This almost seems as though it will let you use the entire Flex 2/3 framework within a Flash IDE developed application - including all UI controls, binding and everything else that goes along with

I think there is an AIR list on Yahoo - you might want to try there, I'd be surprised if AIR can't do that, seems like I saw stuff at MAX in Chicago that showed AIR launching other apps. I know they had it integrated with Outlook and Excel, but not sure if it was via starting the executable.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 creating sprite instances in a loop

2008-01-02 Thread Charles Parcell
I think the issue is that you are waiting until you exit the loop to do any addChild() calls. In that case you will only ever get one sprite added to the display list. This is because when the loop is done it only has a single reference to a sprite. You might want to do two things. First, and

Omar, fscommmand exec only works from with a projector i.e. not AIR in addition to this AIR will print exactly as any other AS3 application prints so if the AS3 print library allows you to do what you want then you can do it in AIR if not, then you cant. I have to agree with Steven on this too if

[Flashcoders] AS for using the AdjustColor filter

2008-01-02 Thread Andrew Sinning
For most of the filters available in the FlashCS3 IDE (Bevel, Blur, etc.) there seem to be equivalent AS2 filter classes; however, I don't understand how the ColorMatrixFilter relates to the AdjustColor filter, if at all. How would I set the hue shift to 100? How would I change the

I was loading an AS 2.0 SWF which in turn replaced level 0 with an AS 3.0 SWF intended for the 9.0.45 or greater players. Putting that detection in JavaScript was my solution, but why was I getting this error? The first thing the AS 2.0 swf did was check version and conditionally load the AS 3.0

First of all thanks for the replies, and by the way um sorry for being rude... The thing is that I found out that AIR does not support the function too late, now that the whole project is finished and the print function is missing - I am trying to find out a way to get it working without doing the

[Flashcoders] Software Patent Question

Question - as a software developer, are we free to create anything we want if we use our own, from scratch, code? For instance, we created a Flash based Virtual Makeover application a couple years back. We may make a new one for a new client but our old client has issue. Evidently they invented

Hi Dave, There are various ways of looking at this. Although it may seem ridiculous that you can't develop any technology you wish, the flip side is that many inventions would never be produced if, after years of hard work, the inventor's creations could be easily copied and exploited by

First off, I am by far not the person to answer this question. That patent is bunk in my book. There is NO invention as far as I see. All I see is process not IP. I would expect that patent to get dropped once reviewed because it is a next logical step process. Crap like that makes me sick and
