Framework for creating Flash applications in AS3

Can anyone suggest a good framework for developing Flash AS3 applications? I have worked on two Flash frameworks till date: GAIA and PureMVC.
While GAIA is more focused on Website development and I find PureMVC a bit complex as I was not able to find anywhere the best approach to use the framework efficiently.

Very delayed reply on this one, but I thought still worth mentioning a year after the fact.  Over the last couple of years, working in a number of ad agencies, I've progressively built my own Flash CMS framework called Redblox (http://redblox.ca). 
It's a framework I'm positive you've never seen the likes of before!  Redblox uses XML files as a blueprint to recursively build you're entire website.  Redblox framework concentrates on separating core functionality from behavioural functionality (see website for more info on that). Every component (ie, textfield, image, menu, layout, scrollbar, video player, everything!) is represented as an XML node within a larger XML structure and therefore its parameters, animations, behaviours and functionality can be added/updated/deleted directly within the XML. Consequently, using Redblox' integrated visual XML Editor allows users the ability to make these changes directly at runtime.  Simply CTRL+CLICK on any item/component while viewing the website in editor mode and the Redblox XML Editor tool will display all the information on that component to add/update/delete. Once users have made their changes, users can then save the XML blueprint of the website back to file.  Its really that simple.
I've only recently made this framework open-source, wanting to take a new direction in its development.  I've used this framework to build microsites for Nike Training Canada (Olympics & World Juniors Hockey), Alexandre Keiths, Rogers, Purina to name a few.
Just check out the site, you'll love it right away!

  • How to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications

    Hi experts,
    how to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications?
    reward points for appropriate answer.
    Thank you,
    G.V.K.Prasd

    HI,
    MDK is already integrated in NWDS. Separate MDK download is only necessary in case you want to use Eclipse as single DEV environmant without the full blown NWDS orwant to develop for earlier versions like MI7.0.
    So very important: separate MDK does only support MI7.0 and earlier versions. If this is your intention, simply download MDK plugin, extract the folder, have a look into the download subfolder and you see the ECLIPSEPLUGIN.ZIP file in there. Unzip this as well and then put the related stuff into the FEATURES and the PLUGINS folder of Eclipse. After restarting Eclipse open the settings and add the buttons to the view and configure the correct settings for your system. This is the normal stuff like for every Eclipse plugin. Not 100% sure if this is not included in NWDS as well already.
    If you are not sure about PLUGINS and FEATURES stuff and the configuration - the MDK itself has a great documentation that shows the steps you need to follow.

  • Suggested method for creating flash video?

    I've searched through the forums and see that Apple seems to want to make things difficult for creating flash video for some reason. Regardless of why, does anyone have a suggestion for a simple solution to take a QuickTime movie file and convert/export it to flash video? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just the ability to end up with a flash file of my video. Thanks.

    Thanks, but I'm really trying to find something for use on my Mac. Or perhaps I'm trying to do something that isn't even necessary... What's the recommended method for creating good-quality video from my Mac to be used on the web? Flash stuff seems to have a great quality for smaller file sizes. Is there a comparable format I could use on my Mac to get similar results which most web users could open without installing some additional software to read it?

  • How to Play/Pause All for Adobe Air Application using AS3 in Flash CS4?

    I am new to Flash and I'm creating an educational application in AS3 in Flash CS4 for Adobe Air. I want to use buttons to play and pause all content (movieclips AND sound).
    I have created play and pause buttons that worked by switching the frame rate between 0 and 20, unfortunately I've realised that it's never really 0fps but rather 0.01fps and so it continues playing, albeit very very slowly. Also this doesn't affect the audio; I have set sound files to Stream which are synced to movieclips on their timelines, but even when the application is set to 0fps the audio continues.
    Since I have various levels with numerous movieclips each with synced audio, what i'd like is to be able to do is pause absolutely everything within each movieclip with one button and to be able to resume from the same place using another button. Is this possible? If not, is there a global function to pause/resume the entire application/program?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Its possible but you would need to tell each movieclip and audioclip to play/pause. You can create a for loop inside your mouse event function to find each movieclip and pause/play its timeline and a separate for loop for audio clips. Also instead of setting fame rate to 0 for pause just use a stop() command.

  • What is the workflow for creating Flash Builder 4.7 Applications?

    Now that Design View has been removed from Flash Builder 4.7 I was wondering what the proposed workflow is for creating software?
    What is the suggested flow? How can a developer layout a screen visually? Or is it true that this is just no longer possible?

    Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Flash Builder forum. They will be able to help you here.

  • Best practise for creating an application that connects to a SQL Server database

    I am fairly new to vb.net and have read a few books and followed a few tutorials on youtube, what I would like to know is, are there any disadvantages
    to the way I have connected to a SQL database using the SQLControl.vb.  A lot of the vb books include data adapter and dataset within the form, I'm not sure if I'm following best practice by have the connection details outside of the form.
    My other question is, I have created two connections in the SQLControl and call these connections within the same form using the same data adapter
    and dataset.  It all works fine but I just wanted to know of any potential issues?
    Public SQLCon As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
    = "Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
    'connection 2
        Public SQLCon1 As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
    = "Data Source;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
    Thanks

    I just wanted to know of any potential issues
    1) You are not using Sepration of concerns for a solution that is doing data access, like using a DAL.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns
    2) You are directly issuing SQL commands at the UI, leading to sql injection attacks.
    3) You are not using a UI design pattern, which leads you to tightly couple database activity to the UI.
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/228214/Understanding-Basics-of-UI-Design-Pattern-MVC-MVP
    @System243trd, parameters are important to prevent SQL injection attacks (people will insert SQL commands into the database if you do not perform basic checking of what you are passing to the database). If you write a stored procedure try to make
    the variables the correct SQL server data type to avoid problems later of people trying to call it directly.  Darnold924 is right, I see no code to prevent against SQL injection attacks. In addition, during development in some instances LocalSQLDB
    database system is used and during deployment you usually need to use the production SQL server database. Moreover,  Linq-to-SQL is used on Windows Phone 8.1 and it is required for phone development later and so I highly recommend learning
    it if you plan on developing windows phone applications.
    @System243trd, If you want the code for the windows phone app I think it uses the MVVM model or that might be for universal apps or regular windows phone apps. I have been using the windows phone Silverlight pivot or panorama template (it might
    be pieces of both). I've already submitted to the windows phone marketplace and it had to go through certification first. I plan on later making an article on it but I need to first fix one or two simple problems I have with it.  Here's a link to
    the source code if you later want to look at the source code (in vb.net):

  • Please help me for create flash boot in windos os

    hi .my mac book is crash hard disk .i dont acses to enother macbook pro for create botable flash disk .please help me for make botable flash disk in windos 7 for instal and create partishen new hard disk.thanks

    We are not macbook pro forum, question about Windows and Boot Camp should go there, not knowing your mac but likely has internet recovery that works even with a "crash" hdd. I assume you know how to go about swapping out for a new one (time to get an SSD) or you can just boot from Windows w/o flash and install, all w/o Boot Camp Assistant.
    www.macsales.com sells kits - empty external case for old drive, new drive or ssd, and also memory upgrades.
    And you can install Mac OS to any external drive. Like your backup TimeMachine and just shrink and make a 40GB partition for OS X.

  • E-Recruiting EHP4 WebDynpro link for create internal application and portal

    Hallo there,
    we have installed ehp4 with web Dynpro and I am searching the link for creating an *internal* application.
    The external Aplication I found in the se80 ERC_C_APPL_MGMT_UI. But this link is only for external applications.
    The other Links I try to find is for the portal. I need it in the ESS and the MSS.
    I didn't find them in the package PAOC_RCF_UI_SELF_SERVICES.

    Hello,
    For creating manual internal and external applications, the WebDynpro application is the same - ERC_A_APPL_MGMT. The component is the same ERC_C_APPL_MGMT_UI as you have said in your e-mail. In this component you can also check the view V_APPL_DATA and see that both fields for internal and external are available. The fields are determined at runtime based on whether you have selected 'Internal' or 'External' link in the portal. In the recruiter portal role, when configuring the pages for internal or external you use Application Parameter IS_INTERNAL. If IS_INTERNAL=X then this parameter will be passed to the component mentioned above and the system will know that it should display internal candidate fields. If  IS_INTERNAL=' ' then system will display for external and this is the default.
    You can click package PAOC_RCF_WD_UI > Web Dynpro > Web Dynpro Applicat and right click ERC_A_APPL_MGMT to test. When the page opens, you can add parameter &IS_INTERNAL=X to the URL and you will see it will change to internal application page.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is ther any specific utility for creating planning application automaticall

    Hi,
    Do we some utility for creation of Hyperion planning application with min parameters that we used to create using app wizard?
    I mean if we have the utility then we can schedule a script and run the script for creation of application.
    Later we can develop this with metadata loading with any automation tools like HAL etc.........
    Please let me know if we have some thing like that?
    Regards
    Venkat G

    Urgh, it's killing me to write this, but wouldn't EPMA do what you want? Not automated exactly, but if I were in the business of quickly spinning of multiple Planning apps that maybe use some common hierarchies, that's a product I might look at.
    Having said that, in the real world I'd probably look at ODI, especially now that it can drive all dimensions.
    How many applications and how often do you think you're going to create them? Deletes? Why?
    You will put the lie to the "3 to 6 months to implement a Planning app" when you finally get it all working. 3 to 6 minutes? :)

  • Can anyone contribute some inputs for creating flash website?

    Basically Iam new to flash actionscript3.0, I am plannning to create Flash website. I need some help from anyone like creating button events, getting url, loading dynamic text etc. If you can pls share useful source file which is helpful for me.
    Thanks,
    Habib

    As a relative newbie to Flash myself I'd simply recommend getting stuck in and messing about, find out how to do each individual thing as you come up against it. Don't be scared off by the new environment, if you just dive in you'll be up and running in no time Oh and don't expect the first thing you make to be of any real use - create something just to mess about in then start over once you know what you're doing a bit more.
    I found this collection of videos very helpful in getting up and running:

  • Is there an adobe -non coding needed- program for creating iPhone applications?

    hi there,
    i've been asking around for a program that i can create iphone applications with, and so far landed on xCode from apple,
    i haven't tried it yet, but as far as i heard it needs coding, and as a designer i'm not fimiliar with coding languages...
    need a simple, user friendly program to deal with, similar to adobe muse when it comes to designing websites.
    i would much more prefer deal with an adobe program to create applications than an apple's...
    is there one?

    i know one, a coder/programmer, but thought maybe there is program that will allow me to do the whole thing by myself,
    specially when i found out about adobe muse, anyway, thanks a lot for the info.

  • What database should i use for a flash application which i need to record score and name for a scoreboard.

    Hi. I wrote down the summary of my project so that you can
    understand and answer me more easily:
    I have to build an application (a little flash game) in which
    I record the number of clicks. I want the player to choose a nick
    at the beginning and when he finishes one or all the four choices
    of target, i want the application to write his nick and final score
    in a database for displaying in a scoreboard (hall of fame). All
    the new entries should be sorted according to the score. If the
    same nick appears again, it's final score will be modified in the
    scoreboard only if is higher then the previous.
    I was thinking of creating a variable for the name that is
    chosen at the beginning and a variable for the score that is
    recorded. When the player finishes the game i want the application
    to write his data in the database, and then to display the
    scoreboard (let's say top 10 players in the database from the
    highest to the lowest score).
    I never did this before so i am asking what database shoud i
    use? I need a programmer to create one for me? Or can flash
    generate the database?
    Is the variable the good way or should I aproach the problem
    by other means? And if a programmer creates a database in MySql is
    that good or he should convert it to XML, or Flash generates the
    XML?
    Thank you.

    I did areal photography one time.  What you have listed would not be on my short list for lenses to take at all.
    Maybe you could supply a little more info of the 50-100mm ?  I am going to guess you have the first version of the Canon EF-S 75-300mm?  It is a faily slow lens but if these two are the only possibility, I'd choose it.
    It and the XTi will work as a mattter of fact I took two XTi's on my flying photo experience.  But I had the fantastic EF 70-200mm.  Another thing, there is NOT a lot of room on these aircraft.

  • Best App for Creating Flash Icons - Flash Builder?

    Hi,
    I have succeeded in creating some general iPad Folios but I am looking to add some icons for each section.  Namely an icon that flashes when presses and in turn changes when the associated section opens up.  For instance, I have created object states for text when selecting a button (converted to button / text or picture/icon).  Obviously simple to convert an image or text to a button but I guess it goes back to main question.  What is the best application in the Master Suite to create interactive icons?
    As a follow-up, can whomever provide any example of some killer icons, etc. as apps that I can download and view?
    Thanks in advance.

    AS3 by a landslide and AS4 when it debuts. A better question would be which AS3 (3D) framework to write the game in. In that case check them out here:
