It doesn't really have to be that many steps, but you're essentially correct. You can send the binary data to the server via a POST, and the result of the POST call can be a save to: link. But yes, it has to go all the way up to the server and back down. My point is that it can all be part of

[flexcoders] File System Data Grid over a network

Hi everyone, I'm making a Flex 3/AIR app, and all works pretty well. I'm accessing some files over my network, so I've mapped my network drive (so it shows up as a local resource under my computer). Of course this means that AIR has no trouble accessing the contents. But, of course, being

Hello, I'm going to have to fix this bug in my project sooner or later, so I might as well do it sooner. There are two situations in which I see this bug: 1. I have some image components I can drag around inside a canvas tag 2. I have some image components that are displayed in a scrolling

[flexcoders] Scrolling Rendering Bug?

2008-01-14 Thread ben gomez farrell
Hello, I wrote you folks before with something I can't figure out, but I didn't have any examples to show. I finally broke out my example into a real easy MXML application, and it still bugs out (Flex 3 Beta 3). The bug seems to be applying a 9-Slice Scaled SWF resource as a backgroundImage on

[flexcoders] hide/showEffect through Actionscript

2008-02-27 Thread ben gomez farrell
Hello! I'm having trouble finding examples of setting a hide or show effect with actionscript. Of course object.showEffect doesn't seem to exist, though the property exists in MXML. I assume it probably works a little like the styleManager where you'd do setStyle(property, value). I was

Hi everyone, I'm using a few different effects to mask content (Wipes, Iris, Fade, etc, all from the mx.efffects package). I need to create a few additional ones which would be a bit more fun. The idea is to take a black and white SWF with a timeline from Flash and use that as my mask. I'm

Hello - just a quick question. I usually work with the embedded graphics (lots of Image or SWFLoader components) where I set the source attribute to embed. I've never had luck in the design view with layout. It always appears as a broken link, so I have a lot of guesswork when laying out my

SWC is a compiled Flash asset. If you compile Game.as and get a SWC out of it, then everytime you change Game.as, you'll need to compile a new SWC. You might want to organize things differently. Assuming that Game.as is your main class that you compile for the game, you may not want to
