Is there a way to get a list of the exposed functions from a Flash object? For example, you could get a list of all methods in an object by executing: for (var i in object) { if (typeof object[i] == "function") { console.log(i); } } The only issue is that this won't expose any methods registered through the ExternalInterfaces API. I can try and see if the function exists ( object['method'] ) and it tells me it is a function, but I would have to guess every existing method in this manner. NOTE: Obviously, I don't have access to the actionscript. Just hit this question, a tad to late it seems,

I've never developed Flash before but I have a project where I want to use an ActionScript 3 library and I'm not sure what tools I need to start. To further complicate things my main development box is an Ubuntu box. Are there any necessary packages I need to install? Or any .deb 's I can buy? A Windows or Mac box. :-) just kidding, actually you can use the Flex 3 SDK mentioned above and compile using the CLI. If these AS3 Libraries are indeed Flex libraries (sometimes there are discrepancies between what works in Flex, what works in CS3, and what works in both) then you should be able to

As of Flash 10.1, they have added the ability to add bytes into the NetStream object via the appendBytes method (described here http://www.bytearray.org/?p=1689 ). The main reason for this addition is that Adobe is finally supporting HTTP streaming of video. This is great, but it seems that you need to use the Adobe Media Streaming Server ( http://www.adobe.com/products/httpdynamicstreaming/ ) to create the correct video chunks from your existing video to allow for smooth streaming. I have tried to do a hacked version of HTTP streaming in the past where I swap out the NetStream objects

What WebSockets add to raw TCP connection? Why should I use WebSockets? I'd like to hear cons and pros like: Good: WebSockets add some useful things like autoreconnection, session ids, etc. Bad: WebSockets add a lot of overhead I'll have only Flash clients, no need to support Javascript clients. kanaka You can't do raw sockets from a web application in a browser. Even "raw" socket connections from Flash are not really raw because you have to answer a policy file request to get CORS security (part of the reason for the WebSockets handshake). After the initial WebSocket handshake, WebSocket

In my programming class, I need to create a Tiles game with AS3 (like zelda). On a map, the tiles are initialised black in an array and, after that, they are changing randomly each time the leftpick of a song reach a certain value. When the tiles change, I need to update the Array with the new value. Actually, I always get an Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. This is how the tiles are initialised: variable private var grid: MovieClip; private var nbRow: int = 6; private var nbCol: int = 12; private var oneTiles: Tiles; private var t: Tiles; public var tMap: Array = [ [1,

any way of doing this is as3? for example, if I have a var dog:String , how can I get "dog" out of that variable? Looking into reflection to do this, but there's got to be an easier way -- A Hope this helps. class A { var dog:String = "something"; var cat:String = "eatdog"; } function getVars(obj:*):void { for(var i:* in obj){ trace( i + " : " + obj[i]); // this will trace all properties of object. // dog : somthing // cat : eatdog } } joncys First of all if it's an instance of a custom class, you can override the toString() method. If it's a property of the class, you can use this method —

I'm trying to call a function declared with ExternalInterface in a Flash swf, using JavaScript. It worked once, but all of a sudden, it stopped working. I have a debug version of the Flash Player, but no errors occur in Flash. Not even a "Security Sandbox Error" or something. The only error I get is the following error in JavaScript Error: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error. I'm using AS3, exporting for Flash Player 10 and testing on Firefox 3/Safari 4, on a Mac. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Check out ExternalInterface.marshallExceptions . It should
