Webservice, actionscript 3 and flash

Hi,
a simple question : Is it possible to use webservice with
actionscript 3.0 and flash?
I know it was possible with actionscript 2.0 and actionscript
3.0 with flex, but under flash....
Thanks,
Pascal

The single component is in your Library, which is all you
need. Just
start coding, and the classes should work just fine.
The three items showing on his website are taken from a
snapshot of an
older version of the component. Pieter changed it at my
request when I
discovered that his component didn't work in Flash CS4 (it
does now). That
wasn't his fault, by the way ... in fact, it wasn't anyone's
fault. Adobe
engineers corrected a bug in the way components are
implemented in CS4, and
that fix meant Pieter had to recreate his component ... which
may also be
true for many component developers.
Here's a free tutorial at Community MX on a suggested usage
scenario for
this component (in fact, this is an excertp from the book I
mentioned) ...

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.

  • ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 for AE and Flash CS5.5?

    Good evening, I have no idea what's actionscript but I think it's cool. I'm willed buying a book but I have one here ( Flash CS4 The missing manual by Chris Grover) which has 7 lessons about Actionscript 3.0. Does it work for AE and Flash CS5.5? Do I have to buy another book? Which book you recommend? Thanks a lot again.

    Do you mean After Effects? AFAIK, the file formats that After Effects outputs wouldn't support ActionScript.

  • Flash CS3 ActionScript and "Test Movie" on Mac

    I recently switched over to a PowerMac and Flash CS3 from
    Flash 8 on a PC.
    I've been on a PC forever but wanted to migrate over to the
    Mac as XP and Vista and the headaches we all know about.
    So, within Flash you can "Test Movie" and a little test
    window pops up displaying your swf.
    It has always been the case on the PC, and my friends with
    Flash 8 on the Mac tell me it's the same for them, that you can be
    writing in the Actions panel and then hit "Control/Apple - Enter"
    and the ActionScript actions you just typed will be reflected in
    the "Test Movie" pop up. In other words it the "Test Movie" window
    acts as a constantly updated reflection of the latest edit to your
    Flash piece, regardless of whether you've "Saved" the .fla document
    itself.
    This is part of the normal work flow to me. Write some
    actions, edit them, when they are right, I save. But in the
    meantime, as I'm writing I can keep hitting "Control/Apple - Enter"
    to watch the changes of my edits and I'll see them.
    Well, on my new Mac with Flash CS3, the "Test Movie" window
    never updates to the latest edit. Whether with hot-keys or with the
    cursor/menu selection, the window will not reflect the latest edit,
    UNLESS, I close it first. If I close it, and then hit the
    hot-keys/menu for "Test Movie" then it will load my latest edit
    (regardless of whether the .fla is saved). So it seems that closing
    the pop up "Test Movie" window prior to is the only way to ensure
    getting the current edit/actions to preview.
    If you write a lot of actions script, then I'm sure you can
    agree that adding that "close the window" step into your work flow
    is really really a headache. And, if I can't find a way around
    that, sadly, I'll have to migrate back to the PC, ugh, and Flash
    CS3 on it, which still acts as it always has, with "control-enter"
    faithfully launching the current edit.
    Any ideas? Have you experienced this.

    You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
    to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
    test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
    window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
    the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
    re-tests the already compiled version.
    If you click the application window, then click the
    actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
    personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
    onerous.

  • Explicity mapping between ActionScript and Java objects for the BlazeDS Messaging Service

    The BlazeDS documentation shows how to explicitly map between ActionScript and Java objects. For example, this works fine for RPC services, e.g.
    import flash.utils.IExternalizable;
    import flash.utils.IDataInput;
    import flash.utils.IDataOutput;
    [Bindable]
    [RemoteClass(alias="javaclass.User")]
    public class User implements IExternalizable {
            public var id : String;
            public var secret : String;
            public function User() {
            public function readExternal(input : IDataInput) : void {
                    id = input.readObject() as String;
            public function writeExternal(output : IDataOutput) : void {
                    output.writeObject(id);
    and
    import java.io.Externalizable;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.ObjectInput;
    import java.io.ObjectOutput;
    import java.util.HashSet;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.Set;
    public class User implements Externalizable {
        protected String id;
        protected String secret;
        public String getId() {
            return id;
        public void setId(String id) {
            this.id = id;
        public String getSecret() {
            return secret;
        public void setSecret(String secret) {
            this.secret = secret;
        public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                    ClassNotFoundException {
            id = (String) in.readObject();
        public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
            out.writeObject(id);
    If I called an RPC service that returns a User, the secret is not sent over the wire.  Is it also possible to do this for the messaging service? That is, if I create a custom messaging adapter and use the function below, can I also prevent secret from being sent?
    MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null);
    AsyncMessage message = new AsyncMessage();
    message.setDestination("MyMessagingService");
    message.setClientId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
    message.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
    User user = new User();
    user.setId("id");
    user.setSecret("secret");
    message.setBody(user);
    messageBroker.routeMessageToService(message, null);

    Hi Martin. The way that AMF serialization/deserialization works for BlazeDS is the same regardless of which service is being used, so yes that code will work for messaging as well. On the server, the serialization/deserialization of messages happens at the endpoint. For an incoming message for example, the endpoint deserializes the message and then hands it off to the MessageBroker which decides which service/destination to deliver the message to.
    That was a good question. Thanks for asking it. Lots of people are used to doing custom serialization/deserialization with the RPC services (RemoteObject/RemotingService) but I'm not sure everyone realizes they can do this for messaging as well.

  • Trying to understand capabilities of Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4

    I recently purchased the CS5 Master Collection and am struggling to understand the uses for Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4.  I was inspired by Jay Pavlina's Super Mario Crossover game and wish to make similar applications. 
    However, I am confused about whether I should be using Flash Professional or Flash Builder 4 or both?  I purchased the two books that Jay Pavlina recommended "ActionScript 3.0 Animation Making Things Move!" and "Essential ActionScript 3.0".  I've been trying to find resources that will help me understand exactly the purpose of each of these applications. 
    It appears to me that ActionScript 3.0 is used in both?  So which one should I be using?  Or both?  Or is one more design oriented and the other more development oriented?  Can one make flash game like Jay's using just one or the other?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I thought about it a bit more. I think you should take my advice with a grain of salt. I am still standing behind what I said but there are some circumstances that we are not in control of.
    If your task is to be the beginning and the end of your code - don't bother with Flash IDE. BUT, if you plan to monetize on your Flash/ActionScript skills, you may not have choice but be familiar with as many environments as possible.
    Here is my personal experiense that illustrates this point.
    I always prayed to gods, chanted to mandalas and made offerings to spirits to avoid a single thing - not ever deal with custom Flash components. Rightly or wrongly I perceive them as one of the lamest Macromedia creations. I am not talking about SWCs but about this thing that you create with preview and all other crap. Above all, it did not (and still doesn't) make much sense to me from functionality standpoint.
    Anyway, as, I guess, a karmic retribution, I was dealt this card. I got involved in a project(s) where I was not told that my main task would be to, you are right, write and reverse engineer Flash custom components. If I did not know Flash IDE I would be totally lost. Custom components are so counter-intuitive that only people without programming background can view them as a convenience. Well, it is a convenience if they are written correctly.
    The point is that, if you want to make a career out of it, you should gradually get involved with Flash IDE for now. The truth is that there are tons of agencies out there that do not have resources to hire high level developers and they employ "drag n' drop, cut n' paste" individuals. And this is a real market segment. Even well seasoned development houses have to succumb to this reality and cater to such entities.
    It is your choice, of course, but I thought it wouldn't be fare to you to be very fascist about pushing my one-sided views.

  • ActionScript on Flash buttons

    I am just getting back into using Captivate 2.0 to create
    some online training and I need some assistance using
    JavaScript/ActionScript in Flash buttons. I created a series of
    buttons that are part of a single Flash .swf file. I'm using these
    buttons as kind of a "main menu" and I would like each of the
    individual buttons in the exported Flash .swf file to perform one
    of the following functions:
    - Open another Captivate project in the same (parent) browser
    window, or...
    - Jump to a specific slide in the current project
    I layed out all the buttons in a single .swf file so I
    wouldn't have to import individual buttons into my Captivate
    project. So how do I define the ActionScript for each button in
    Flash to achieve these functions?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Brian

    Hey Brian,
    You can easily open another .HTM file using Javascript, but
    doing so generally won't allow you to do any tracking of results.
    Successful results tracking pretty much requires that an LMS is
    launching each file. That said, opening a new file requires only
    the following line of Javascript, where the path can be either
    relative or absolute:
    window.location.href = "<path to new file>";
    As for jumping to a specific slide in a given file, Adobe
    Community Expert Paul Dewhurst contributed to a discussion topic in
    these forums that references using an undocumented internal
    Captivate array to navigate to a specific slide via Actionscript.

  • Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

    Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript

    Intermediate level
    I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
    than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
    to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
    come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
    variables – load mov – enough to programme up website

    I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
    mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
    I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
    fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
    Any thoughts?

  • Adobe Air and Flash Future on Desktop and Mobile Devices

    Hello,
    iam interested to develop for mobil and desktop devices with AS3 and Flash Professional and i have any question.
    I see also many benefits to develop in flash as in java because javas gui development is based on swing a old java graphics engine.
    Next reason is the plattform like Linux,Windows,IOS.,the Game Development and other stuff.
    With Flash i can create nextgen interactive stunning cool gui interfaces for apps.
    I dont know why flash sucks for the market and devices.
    My question: is as3 and flash save for the future ?
    Make it really sense to learn as3 and Flash ?
    I have read many blogs,threads on adobe and other forums year 2012 Adobe stop flash development,
    and now 2013 google androids kitkat now have removed api features that kills complete flash !!!
    Other comments says Flash is dead for the market!? Many frustradet flash developers he work 10 years and more with flash are crying.
    So what is really the Future for the A3 and Flash Development ?
    Thanks and greetings

    Hi mc_gfx,
    > You think i can get started with flash and air development without worries?
    Software development always involves risk, so you can't really do much without worries.       AIR in particular is a cutting (bleading?) edge technology. Adobe is attempting to solve a difficult problem with limited resources, and the results aren't always ideal.
    If you want to deploy to Android and iOS, and you write two native apps, you face a 100% risk that you'll have to write your app twice. While this may not take twice as long as writing it once, it will come close.
    If you use AIR, you only have to write your app once, but you face other risks.
    Here's the problem. In AIR, Adobe is attempting to create a framework that translates ActionScript into bytecode for two different platforms. This isn't easy. Every time Apple or Google upgrades their operating system Adobe has to try to refine AIR so that it translates everything correctly for the new OS. AIR also has to maintain backward compatability with all previous OSs (is that the plural of OS?). AIR also has to work with many different models of Android and iOS devices. This includes supporting most, though not all, of the many different capabilities that these OSs support. Adobe, wisely, doesn't try to support every new feature immediately. Instead, it picks and chooses which new features it will support, and how soon. But even taking this approach I have the impression that their task is daunting.
    If you research this forum you'll find numerous examples of people complaining about features that don't quite work correctly. For example, I've put ~6 developer months into developing a language learning app, only to find that AIR's MP3 playback support has some limitations which severely impact the playback of voice recordings, which severely degrades the value of my app. I'm hoping that Adobe will fix this bug, but it's been two months now, with no movement. Another serious bug, involving audio recording using the device microphone, took three months to get fixed. During that period I had no idea whether it would get fixed, or whether I'd have to disable an important feature of my app on iOS.
    So, you want "without worries"?  
    Some people are lobbying Adobe to include support for Windows Phone in the AIR framework. IMHO, this is madness. Adobe clearly has limited resources. Let them first focus on making basic features like MP3 playback work properly on the platforms that they already support.
    The same issues probably apply to all the other cross-platform development frameworks - Sencha, Xamarin, etc. They face the same difficult technical challenges. I can't speak to the question of how well they're addressing them, but I'd want research them carefully before I invested a lot of time into developing with them.
    With regards to AIR, here's my advice: Before you start a non-trivial project using AIR, make a list of all the things that your app will do, then see if you can find existing apps created with AIR that do these things. Make sure that the feature works on both Android and iOS. You won't be able to test on every device that you'd like to support, but pick a few and test on them.
    You don't need to worry about your app's logic - ActionScript is great for that - and AIR translates it just fine. But think carefully about your app's 'skin' - all the ways that you want it to interact with the outside world - input and output - and confirm that apps exist that demonstrate that AIR can handle these features. Also think about the app's infrastructure - network interactions - database interactions - etc.
    You'll probably end up with a list of features that you haven't been able to confirm. You can vet these by creating a proof of concept that confirms that AIR will support these needs. Do this before you start developing the full app. Once that's done, pray that everything that works now will continue to work with future OSs and devices. Adobe has a pretty good record on this sort of things, but there aren't any guarantees.
    Don't worry, be happy        ?

  • Swf increase size mystery publishing into Flash 8 and Flash CS4

    Hello,
    i discovered recently that a swf build with Flash 8 IDE, published for Flash Player 8 get a different size when published with Flash CS4 IDE.
    You can reproduce that effect with all sort of swf.
    I did a report for each publish (same .fla into Flash 8 IDE and Flash CS4 IDE)
    The result was : all vector graphics, all fonts, all bitmaps, all actionscript code increased
    From test.fla, i did one key frame with :
    - a dynamic TextField with some simple chars in it = "Test Chars",
    - a simple shape with brush tool
    - and one movieclip with an ordinary circle

    Does somebody knows something about this strange phenomen ?

    Didn't look at the file size of the FLA, just the SWF as I didn't even necessarily resave the CS4 as CS6. No edits were made, I tried it with a simple open and publish just to make sure I wasn't doing anything to change the file and the resulting file was heavier (kb).
    I looked through the size reports and saw that while image compression was better in the CS6 version, the fonts were all heavier than they were in the CS4 version and this put it over the 40kb limit.

  • ANN: Deep discount on some DW 8 and Flash 8 books

    Amazon.com is offering some amazing discounts on several
    Dreamweaver 8
    and Flash 8 books, including my "Foundation PHP for
    Dreamweaver 8",
    which is currently just $8.00 (80% discount). Other heavily
    discounted
    books are:
    "Foundation Web Design with Dreamweaver 8" - $10.23 (71%

    "Foundation ActionScript for Flash 8" - $13.16 (71% discount)
    "Foundation Flash 8" - $10.83 (71% discount)
    "Foundation Flash 8 Video" - $9.00 (80% discount)
    I contacted friends of ED to find out why two of my books (I
    co-authored
    the ActionScript one) were being so heavily discounted, as an
    80%
    discount usually indicates the book has been remaindered by
    the
    publisher. The answer is that this appears to be an Amazon
    promotion, as
    the books in question have not been remaindered. I have no
    idea how long
    these bargain prices will last, but if you were planning to
    buy a DW 8

  • After effects and flash project

    Hello everyone!
    I'm planning to do a project that would involve AE and Flash
    integration. Here's a short concept:
    In AE I'll make a city that consist of 4 main buildings
    placed on a circle parth - each building will represent one part of
    a page (First one for About us, second one for Portfolio and so
    on).
    If user clicked on one building, the city would rotate until
    that specific building is on the center of the screen.
    I hope this make sense to you...
    So I plan to do a series of movies in AE - one from About us
    to Portfolio, one from Portfolio to Contacts and so on..
    My question is: what's the easiest way to control the
    playback of theese movies?
    I know it would be best to do entire project in Flash but the
    client want's to implement my AE movies - I'm experienced AE user
    and I DON'T know actionscript with is essential in interactive
    projects like this one. So.. be gentle :) Any tutorials on this?
    I'm using AE7pro and FlashCS3pro.
    Thanks ALOT everyone!

    No. You'll either have to pay for CS6 at full price. Or you'll need a subscription to the Creative Cloud. I highly recommend the latter.

  • "Automatic conversion performed to update your ActionScript to Flash 2004"

    Hello,
    I am curious if anyone else has encountered the following:
    quote:
    Automactic conversion performed to update your ActionScript
    to Flash MX 2004:
    * The old string congatenation operator '&' was converted
    to 'add'
    quote:
    Automactic conversion performed to update your ActionScript
    to Flash MX 2004:
    * Functions were converted to the new recommended case (e.g.
    GetProperty-->getProperty)
    quote:
    Automactic conversion performed to update your ActionScript
    to Flash MX 2004:
    * x op y was converted to Number(x) op Number(y) for
    operators +, <, >, <=, >=, =, and <>
    These appeared inside the output window about a half an hour
    ago and I have never seen them before. They appeared after I tested
    a movie (control + enter) inside the production environment. I ran
    searches on Macromedia's website, forums, and Google on the opening
    statement and they did not return any results.
    I am using ActionScript 2.0 in Flash MX Professional 2004 on
    the PC.
    Thanks for any help or insight.

    You're awesome LuigiL,
    No, the file was created in Flash MX Professional 2004 as a
    Flash 7 file. It was never saved down or saved up.
    As for CPU cooking, that could be something. I am in the U.S.
    but I was debugging this at the time:
    quote:
    256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
    This is probably an infinite loop.
    Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.
    I left the test movie running in the background while I was
    hitting up the boards for what was an 'action list'. After about
    five to ten minutes of searching I came back to Flash and saw those
    messages in the output window. I think I am going to test this
    again--since I have yet to fix my original problem--to see if I can
    recreate it.
    Thanks for your help so far!

  • Difference between fl and flash libraries?

    (new to cs3 - java expert...)
    I'm trying to write some action script to set the default
    focus of a text component when the applications run...
    It seems there is a fl.managers.FocusManager that
    could/should do it... but for some reason, I cannot import that
    package into my AS. I can import an arbitrary
    flash.<something>.somthing.
    Question - In the AS editor, there is a menu (plus sign (+)
    icon) with all(?) the available packages/classes, languange
    constructs, etc. Should I be able to use them all? Is there a
    difference between "fl" and "flash" - assuming "fl" is for Flash
    just like the product logo "fl"?
    thanks a bunch.

    Craig,
    > Is there a difference between "fl" and "flash" -

    The fl packages are top level classes based on ECMAScript,
    while the
    flash packages are specifically Flash Player APIs.
    > for some reason, I cannot import
    [fl.managers.FocusManager]
    > into my AS
    Are you writing timeline-based code, or a class file? Have
    you tried
    the sample code shown in the FocusManager entry of the
    ActionScript 3.0
    Language Reference?
