Re: [Flashcoders] how to get controls and anchors of curve, gradients, etc.

Hi, if your artist produced vector graphics using Flash, you could use the commercial version of ASV (http://www.buraks.com/asv/). ASV can export these graphics and produces an intermediate format for them based on Array. You can use this Array directly in your AS Code and draw the graphics via

RE: [Flashcoders] Question on old AS1 code

Thanks for the response Andy. Fiddler sounds very interesting. Unfortunately, due to very tight security rules, we are not permitted to download any software (30-day trial software, shareware, freeware, etc.) so I'm not sure I can use that tool at work. I will check it out for home use however.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on old AS1 code

The extension Firebug for Firefox also lets you see in better detail what's sent/retrived between you and the server. It's incredibly useful for all forms of debugging. I can't understand how i managed without it. Vaughn, David (Contractor) (J6B) skrev: Thanks for the response Andy. Fiddler

Thanks Matthias. I'll look into ASVDrawing. If I'm not mistaken, old Illustrator uses cubic-beziers, whereas Flash uses quadratic. There are some algorithms for approximating a conversion, but I'd rather not go down that road Matthias Dittgen wrote: Hi, if your artist produced

I think those links are dead now. I lost some files a couple of years back, during an ill-planned move. They are possibly lurking somewhere on an old backup. But I think all the AS files ship with ASV anyway, or else are available somewhere on buraks.com. It's worth asking Burak for them. Peter

Marking it as utf-8 doesn't really make the document itself utf-8. You have to actually save it as utf-8. In notepad you can select the encoding in the save as dialog (at the bottom). Make sure UTF-8 is selected, default is ANSI. The char list that works for me when using non-english languages
