actionscript

In actionscript 3 (as3) What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth This was something I remember I got confused about in the past (Adobe's api docs are an artform in obfuscation :) ). Thought I should post it on stackoverflow. Kejml stageWidth is basically width of the player window. You probably need this number if you want to know size of your scene. stage.width is calculated as any other width in actionscript. This means, it is width of bounding box around child objects of the stage. For example stage.width of empty.stage is 0. Or if you have only one small

In an ActionScript 2 project I can create a new MovieClip, right-click on it on the library and select "Component Definition" to add parameters that can be referenced inside the MovieClip. This parameters can be easily changed in the MovieClips's properties. Now, I'm working on an ActionScript 3 project but haven't been able to figure out a way to obtain the values passed in those parameters. I defined a parameter named "textToDisplay" but when I write the following in the Actions for the first frame I get an error: trace(textToDisplay); This is the error: 1120: Access of undefined property

Knowledge has no limits but still in your opions, what are the basic requirements for an individual, where he can call himself a flex developer. To make it a bit concrete lets say after having a 2-3 years experience. In my perspective it should be something like below. It is a very (very) rough idea and please let me know your views and suggestions on this. BASIC: (1) Knowldge about basic GUI components like tab, vbox, etc. Their properties and the ability to decide which component suits better in a condition. (2) Knowledge to use services like HTTP, wsdl, remote objects, etc. (3) knowledge

I got pinless OAuth working on Adobe AIR for Desktop, iOS, but not Android. For some reason, we're not getting the oauth_verifier (which contains the sha'd code) in StageWebView on an Android device. Any clue? Here's the debug for on desktop and on Droid 2; notice the 3rd line in the Droid 2 trace output which is missing all the OAuth variables after the callback URL. Desktop: AuthorizeTwitterService::onComplete, data: oauth_token=De2k4zANjzAhT3hXV4eqOfTVxJsshVIJjgsuwPMUg8&oauth_token_secret=s WsBzyS43nh6DDBwLaogaWpVftoDaiYTJDfBKQE&oauth_callback_confirmed=true --------------------

I've recently started making a game in FlexBuilder. The game is currently a Flex project. Is there any downside to using Flex as opposed to just Actionscript? A friend of a friend told me that Flex is slower than an Actionscript project. I've been unable to validate this on the internet; is there any truth to that claim? Thanks! If you're developing a game, you should be using an ActionScript project. Flex is to be used only for data driven applications and user interfaces. The flex compiler generates a lot of intermediate code to convert mxml files into actionscript (you can view those files

How do you rotate a text field in actionscript 3.0? As soon as I change the rotation property of the text field, it does not display. for example: var txtFld:TextField = new TextField(); txtFld.x = 100; txtFld.y = 100; txtFld.width = 300; txtFld.height = 300; txtFld.text = "Test String"; txtFld.rotation = 90; addChild(txtFld); Some more info supporting Christophe Herreman : ActionScript - Rotating Text In order to see rotated text, you'll have to embed the font. an alternative is, to copy the textfield into a BitmapData using BitmapData::draw and then creating a Bitmap containing the result,

I have this blank project, just to check out System.totalMemory variable. As far as I can see, i get this values: 3076 3092 3096 3088 3092 3096 3100 3104 3108 3112 3117 3121 3125 3129 3133 3137 3141 3145 3149 ... And so on I had no Flash open, no Internet Browser, no other instance of flash. The project is blank, only one static text, and one dynamic text, called 'memory'. One *.as file, that contains this code: package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.system.System; import flash.text.TextField; public class Test extends Sprite { public function Test() {
