MS word like WordArt in Flash AS3

How can i have WordArt like Microsoft Word in Flash using AS3?

For curved text, you would need displacement map filter. It can give you arc text effect but you need to play with it. The example at Adobe actually does smoething like that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/Displacem entMapFilter.html.
Besides this you would either need some advanced mathematical calculations to manipulate the bitmap of the text field into required shape. You would need to calculate angles and rotations for each character in the word and then position them accordingly.

How to get this PHP list in Flash AS3?

Hi,
I have the following PHP code (downloaded from net) which builds a list of all the files in a "MyPics" folders:
PS php can build a list of all the files in a folder so you don't have to type them all out like that, plus it makes updating a sinch all you have to do is put a pic in the folder and it will be added to the list.
PHP Code:
<CODE>
<?
//this function goes through the defined directory and makes a list of all the files
function parse_dir($dir,$level){
    $dp=opendir($dir); //opens the directory for reading
    while (false!=($file=readdir($dp))){ //runs until no more files
        if ($file!="." && $file!=".." && $file!=".htaccess"){ //so you don't get all the default folders
            $countervar=$countervar+1; //just a counter for numbering the path names
            if (is_dir($dir."/".$file)) parse_dir //recurses the subdirectories
($dir."/".$file,$level+1);
            else print "&path".$countervar."=".$dir."/".$file; //pieces together something flash can read
$start_dir="pathToMyPics"; //put the name of the folder with all the pics here
$level=1;
parse_dir($start_dir,$level);
?>
<CODE/>
The above php will output something like this
&path1=pathToMyPics/pic1.jpg&path2=pathToMyPics/wowWhatAWierdPicName.jpg
call the php in flash( loadVariables("fileListPHP.php") ) and viola you get easy to use paths to all you pictures.
I am not able to understand the code to write on FLASH AS3 frame. Please help.
Thanks.

In AS3 you want to use the URLVariables class. Search Google using "AS3 URLVariables tutorial" and you should find what you need to get going. Here's one result from that search...

Flash as3 code in Cap 7

I would like to add a flash AS3 movie and buttons in my Cap project that would goto certian slides. I've looked everywhere to find some code that would help me on my way, but no luck. Can anyone here help?

Google earth like map in flash

Hello,
I am studying land surveying and cartography and I am doing my final project. I am trying to make a google earth like map in Flash.I allready have the map , in the form of swf files. the idea is that when the user will scroll, an swf is going to be substituted with another one Can anyone give me any hints on how to do it?

If you want to have one swf replqace another then you probably want to use some form of loader. Which form you use is up to you, but the most basic is simply the Loader class. A loader is only able to load/hold one loaded object at a time, but you can reload it with other content and replace what is there as you wish.
You should Google "AS3 Loader tutorial" to get an idea of how to load external files (such as swf's).

I Need a Pageflip Book for Flash AS3 Website (non-flex based)?

Hello,
I am rebuilding my website from a simple html based website to a Flash AS3 website. The problem I've run into is that I can not get my flex based flipbook onto my Flash AS3 website.
Apparently AS3 is not flex base compatible. Does anyone know a pageflip book program I can use in Flash AS3? Oh, one more thing. I do not know computer code. I need something like Bannerzest. Thank you.

for example , I have a book ..
which has these chapters....
Introducing Adobe Flex 2
Working with MXML in Adobe Flex 2
Working with ActionScript in Adobe Flex 2
Nowhere , in this book ...integration with J2EE application has been described .
can we really use it for J2EE application ? or I am chasing in wrong direction ?

Freelance Flash AS3 coder needed in Dublin Ireland

Experienced freelance Flash AS3 coder needed to resolve issues on a touchscreen interface built using Flash AS3.
Needs to have experience with Timer Class and URLRequest method.
Anyone interested, please let me know.

We've done these types of playbars before for other clients. Cannot promise anything, but we'll take a look at your requirements.
For future reference, this link provides some information about commissioning a custom-built widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/catalog/widgets/Custom_WDGT_DevService/about
The most important thing to remember is that anything like this will cost many times more than even the msot expensive widget you can buy online, because those widgets are sold hundreds of times over before the developer recovers their costs. Development of one-off widgets need to be fully funded by the person that wants it. If this widget isn't worth a lot to you, but would just have been "nice to have" you're probably NOT going to be interested in what it would cost to build.

Exporting LR4 Slideshow into Flash AS3 Website?

Hello,
I would like to export a LR4 Slideshow into my website that was coded entirely in Flash AS3. I have tried the LR4 Slideshow "export options" but I can not seem to make this work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this possible? Since I edit most of my photos in LR4, I would like to be able to use LR4's slideshow option on my website without having to reload my photos into an external slideshow program. Thanks.

Please, I really need your help!

Using box2d flash as3 engine for iphone apps

Hi
have any body tried box2d flash as3 libraries working with flsh cs5 iphone apps.? when i compile app it give many errors, using flash player 9 give one error b2fixture undefined type error. any body developing physics base games as3 for iphone please share any good as3 physics base game engine.
Thanks

If you are targeting all iDevices I strongly suggest to forget about the Box2D. There is absolutely no way you can get (almost) any kind of physics simulation running smoothly with 1st and 2nd generation iDevices with current version of Packager for iPhone.
And it really is graphics that is the problem more than anything else. Forget about caching Sprites or MovieClips. Actually don't use MovieClips and Sprites at all, it's just too slow. Instead start extending Bitmap class with your own animation system (swapping BitmapData) and mouse handling (hitTestPoint), there's plenty of examples.
And then if you write really really optimized code you can get one fluently moving and animated sprite object running on your iPhone or iPhone 3G (with out doing anything else than just moving and animating that one object). More than one (animated and/or moving) object causes serious performance problems. You don't notice this as linear slowing in FPS (which would still be kind of ok), but it's more like skipping frames every now and then. This looks and feels really disturbing and makes designing of games pretty hard...Using GPU mode doesn't make any difference.
But to answer the question, I'm pretty convinced that you can get (simple) Box2D simulation running smoothly on iPhone if you:
1. Target only 3rd generation iDevices and above
2. Use only Bitmaps as graphics
3. Do rotations with pre-rendered frames (or don't use rotation at all)
4. Optimize Box2D and your code thoroughly
Just for **** and giggles I think I try to get some kind of physics simulation running on 3G too...
By the way, comparing performance of 1st generation iPhone to HTC Desire (I happen to own both too) is like comparing C-64 to my shiny new Phenom II X6 rig. If you just look at the specs:
HTC Desire:
1 GH ARM v7
AMD Z430 GPU
576 Mb DRAM
iPhone 3G:
ARM 1176JZ(F)-S (underclocked to 412 MHz)
PowerVR MBX Lite 3D
128 Mb DRAM

Creating A Word Like Table in a Smartform

I am trying to display a text table on a smart orm. I know you can pull in an existing table to display on a smartform but this is not what i need.
Is there a way i can create a table display(grid format) and just enter in the text i need, i.e like creating a table in word.

Like Venkat Ramesh V has indicated, you can create an internal table in the Global definitions, either by creating your own type (of type table) in the 'Types' tab or by using a DDIC (tabletype) definition.
You do need a workarea (type structure) or a Field symbol to be able to display your contents in the table loop, but this is something you already know.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Zhou

What are web sites like without Adobe Flash?

I'm new to the tablet world and am considering buying an iPad, but I understand that Adobe Flash will not be enabled when I browse on web pages. Can folks tell me how they've dealt with this, what are the consequences, etc. There must be articles about this? Thanks.

I guess I wanted to get a sense of what it's like browsing without Flash.
The iPad has a low powered dual core netbook like processor, so it's limited on what it can do and what it can see online.
Either you work within it's restrictions or you get a normal laptop for just about the same cost.
Here is a results of a browser functionality test on Firefox on my MacBook Pro verses a iPad 2 and others.
And to add insult to injury, Safari on a Mac is about 2x times better than Firefox on a Mac.
But Firefox on Windows is #1 and Safari on Windows is dead last, behind IE!
Strangeness is everywhere.

Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)

Controlling External Captivate 5 swf using flash AS3

Hi,
I have created a basic Flash AS3 interface in which I am trying to control the navigation (next slide / previous slide) of an external captivate 5 swf which I have added using a loader, but i cant work out the solution.
My code is currently as follows:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var Xpos: Number = 96
var Ypos: Number = 94
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
my_loader.x = Xpos;
my_loader.y = Ypos;
addChild(my_loader);
stop();
nextBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,gotonextframe);
function gotonextframe(event:MouseEvent){
MovieClip(my_loader.content).rdcmndNextSlide();
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks
Dez

Thats perfect, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
I guess you have tried:
rdcmndRewindAndStop
Set to 1 to rewind and stop the project.

Convert Flash AS3 to JAVA .Jar-file?

Hello All,
in the old old version of Director, you could export a .JAR
file from your project. If you stayed within the programming that
the exporter supported.
I wonder, as I have seen some "Java to Flash as3"-converters,
if anything is out there for the opposite?
Cause I need something to make a JAR file for some simple
functionality in JAVA, and I thought Flash could aid me..?

Can someone answer?

The first 7 or 8 letters of a sentence are jumbled as I type. This happens only after a period of inactivity. Short or long. I start to type and a word like 'anybody', looks like this: 'ybodyan' I have done all the normal fixes. No luck. Ideas? Thx

It's in every text-input app I use in my normal day.....most frustrating as you have to do a doublecheck especially in documents which do not have any special spellcheck system. I've done the cleanmymac, maintenance, cocktail, PRAM reset, Font Cache Smash fixes.....and still I'm dogged by this. Its almost as though the motherboard or some interface system is 'sleeping' longer than it should (if there are any input areas of the MBP which rest during short periods of inactivity) and then the initial keystrokes on the keyboard are somehow not registered and only 'kick in' once half of a new word's characters are already on the screen........grrrrr.
