[Flashcoders] File access

2009-05-07 Thread Karl DeSaulniers
Is there a way to display the thumbnail of a file? Like a .PSD (Photoshop file). They sometimes come with an embedded thumbnail. I wanted to know if you can access this and use it to display. I am working in AS2. Would it take a code to do that, or no way to do that in flash? Any thoughts

Hi, Don't think you could do this in Flash without loading the whole image file, even if it did have a thumbnail - not sure if this is a feature of the JPEG / PNG spec or not? If you are loading images from the server, you could run a script that generates thumbnails on the fly,

Thanks Glen, I will look that up. I kind of figured I would need some kind of script help in the process, but was just wondering if Flash had the capabilities. Like when your in the open file dialog window. The thumbnail you see. Retrieving that somehow in flash. No SystemCapabilities

Hi, The open-file dialog is an OS thing - the thumbs come from the OS rather than the image. PSD's are an exception - the thumbnail appears in the Adobe style dialogue for these... I am guessing AS3 + AIR may allow a bit more flexibility with opening and accessing file data in the

it's probably the classical scope issue in as2: you set the value in a listener, or in a function which is passed as a parameter. use mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, yourFunction) instead of yourFunction where you pass the parameter. Such scope issues also appear if you use super keyword.. but

If you want to have your MXML back from a SWF than there isn't a tool out there that can do that. You will get some Classes but they may not reflect the project's structure in the begining. Otherwise only SoThink SWF Decompiler can read AS3 based SWFs. Gordon and Eltima Trillix only decompile

Why would you want it to?  Why not just learn the AS3? If you know as3, you can use what you have learned and apply it to other languages. Well, MXML and AS3 are used for different things in a typical Flex application. MXML is much better than AS3 for layout manager stuff. AS3 is much better

RE: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?

2009-05-07 Thread Merrill, Jason
My understanding is that this gets converted to AS3 prior to compilation. This is true. You could infer some MXML structure based on the AS3 code, but it would be complicated to do. . Any Flex programmer will, in fact, know AS3 because you can't write a useful Flex app with MXML alone.

Re: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?

2009-05-07 Thread Dave Watts
This is true as well.  Not that I am a complete pro at Flex, but I have found you want to know both MXML and Actionscript fairly equally. And, of course, the class library is the same in either, so if you know how to invoke something via MXML, you basically know how to invoke it in AS3 and
