Is there an unofficial spec anywhere that explains how to reverse engineer a Flash .FLA file? I'm specifically interested in creating an application that can "auto-scene plan" a Flash document programmatically, pulling in content from other files, arranging that content into layers, without needing the Flash IDE open. Animators would then be able to take these pre-assembled FLA's and begin animating them. I've already built a JSFL script that does this, but it runs very slowly, is difficult to debug or re-purpose. scope_creep I've spent days looking around the internet, to see if there is

i am currently making a flash "pond" with fishes in it, and i have the ability to add food pellets onto the pond, how should i make the movement of my fishes to the food x,y location ? so it will be smooth , rather than setting the x,y location of my fishes to the x,y location of the food pellets. Also is there a good place to learn how to make my fishes move by its own? similar to http://abowman.com/google-modules/fish/ Fish class package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Stage; import flash.events.Event; import flash.utils.Timer; import flash.events.TimerEvent; import

I have tried many approaches to unloading my swf, but to no avail, the video sounds within my laoded swf keep playing even once the swf has been loaded. I have created a universal loader as follows: var loader:Loader = new Loader(); I then load various swf's into a movie clip named mov_contentLoader , for example the video swf is loaded as follows: loader.load(new URLRequest("video.swf")); //assign SWF url to loader mov_contentLoader.addChild(loader); //add loaded content to movi clip I then have a generic "exit" button, based on the state of the application, certain windows are closed, swf's

I notice in older version of flash you can create an instance of a dynamic class. I am creating a game that will have many different classes that can be displayed on the stage but can very from time to time. How would I go about calling them dynamically. for example var newObject = new ["DynamicObject"](); ?? Is this possible in As3 ?? I think there are 2 ways you can do that: 1.Using ApplicationDomain.getDefinition('DynamicTemplate') something like: var DynamicClass:Class = this.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition('DynamicTemplate') as Class; addChild(new DynamicClass); You would need

I am developing a Image uploader using Flash 10. I am using FileReference object to browse images and Loader to show the image: Sample code: var tempFileRef:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target); var oLoader:Loader = new Loader(); oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoad); oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError); oLoader.loadBytes(tempFileRef.data); It works fine with .jpg and .gif files but when I browse .bmp or .tiff file, I am getting the error: Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type. Is there a way to load and

I have a Flash project, and it has many source files. I have a fairly heavily-used class, call it Jenine. I recently (and, perhaps, callously) relocated Jenine from one namespace to another. I thought we were ready - I thought it was time. The new Jenine was better in every way - she had lost some code bloat, she had decoupled herself from a few vestigial class relationships, and she had finally come home to the namespace that she had always secretly known in her heart was the one she truly belonged to. She was among her own kind. Unfortunately, Flash would have none of that. Perhaps it had
