I am using Adobe Flash CS6 to create a form that the user fills out. There are 3 text input fields an a submit button. For the text input I am using the TextInput component (fl.controls.TextInput). When the flash first loads the background, labels, and button display and about a second later the 3 text input fields show up. Also when typing into the text fields there is a delay where I can type in something like "92683" and it seems to wait till I am done typing before the characters appear all at once. Any ideas on what could be causing these problems?
I have 2 layers. 1 layer has the button, textinput and labels. The other layer is the background that rotates between 3 background images every 10 seconds.
Try to use compressed bitmap images as background (don't use vectors).
You can compress here: File -> Publish Settings -> JPEG Quality.
If you are creating this in air for mobile phones then,
be sure you set render mode to GPU (Application Settings -> General -> Render Mode : GPU)
Hope this helps!

that I would like to say, there is a good (or maybe not) bootstrap framework that can generate buttons with simple code.
I really like how these buttons look, and I want to use them in another software, but for this I need them in PNG format.
Why is not satisfied with the option "manually" - the buttons need a lot and not always needed, but when needed - they need fast, do not really want to spend a lot of time creating buttons ...
Current process:
Open page (for example https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-button-generator.hhp) to set the necessary parameters (button name, size, type, color, icon ...)
Copy the whole screen to the buffer
Insert a screenshot from the buffer into an image editor
Make necessary cropping of this picture, leave only the image of the button itself
Save the result in png format
Use the image in your application.
That I would like to receive:
Open (no difference - internet page, any software, etc...)
Specify the required parameters (button text, size, color, icon)
Press the button - save to PNG, without loss of quality.
Use the image in your application
Maybe someone already solved a similar problem and translated it into a semi-automatic mode, share the implementation.
I use Win10 at workstation
The easiest way would be to manually crop them by Snipping Tool. This works great if you have just a few buttons.
But if you want to take them automatically, I think you can use an python/opencv script to idendify buttons, crop and save them.
Ok, solution found - ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) software with 1 hotkey (ctrl + printscreen) - open crop dialog with zoom, after crop - makes the png-file automatic
I have embedded my SWF file to an HTML. I am using a TLF text in my AS3 application for the chatbox, but the problem is that the application loses its focus on TLF text while I switch to other pages, and switch back on my application. Please note that I do not face this problem while I run the SWF file using flash player on my desktop.
I have tried to use following code to re-focus on the TLF text but it does not work on my case.
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, infocus);
function infocus(e:Event):void {
myTLF.textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager();
myTLF.textFlow.interactionManager.selectRange(myTLF.text.length, myTLF.text.length);
myTLF.textFlow.interactionManager.setFocus();
}
My question is how we can resolve this? because it really bothers people since they have to click on the chatbox every times that they switch to other pages.
There are few ways to do so. You can manually put focus on your desired objects either by:
listening to MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER on your stage make a handler that will return the focus to your text field
if you want to make it to return focus on switch back to the page, you'll need to write a JS script that will tell SWF via ExternalInterface to put focus on your text field.
I have made an application in AS3 that goes fullscreen.
in the application I have a settings panel where the user has some input fields which he can't manipulate, once I go fullscreen the user's ability to change those fields are gone, you can only select the text but not change it. Once we change back to the regular view of the application (in the browser) you can manipulate those settings again.
Anyone has an idea?
So what do they mean?
I am making an "interactive" iPhone as a project.
Currently I have 1 scene and within it, a movie clip labeled iphone and within it, about 8 or so buttons for different "apps". I want to create a scrolling affect after clicking one of the icons. How would I go about this?
If you're referring to creating Button type symbols, as in:
There are four states in the timeline to skin the visual appearance of the button depending on mouse interaction.
Up - Button's appearance when the pointer is not over the button.
Over - Button's appearance when the pointer is over the button.
Down - Button's appearance as it is being clicked.
Hit - Defines the area bounds that will respond to a mouse click. This area is invisible when published.
Addressing the remainder of your question, creating a virtual iPhone in Flash running various apps is substantial depending on scope. I would recommend breaking that down in to multiple questions.
I have to create a web page which can be set to full screen(I mean the real full screen,not like press the F11),in the full screen there should be some words displaying.
Take the http://stackoverflow.com for example:
Normally,it show its contents(the questions),but someday,maybe a VIP come to visit the page,so we want to replace the whole page with a welcome screen.
Of course we can replace the https://stackoverflow.com/index.html (suppose it is the index page) with the welcome text(welcome xxx to our site...) in the server side.
However this is not convenient,and the text can not be full screened.
So I thought the flash,I can add a controller button at the page,when required,I click this button,and set the welcome words,then a flash will start to play with the sepcified words in a full screen model. It would be better if the flash can show the text with a Animation.
I have never did the flash development,so I want to know if this is possible?
BTW,can all the clients change to flash with juse one click?
I mean I click the controller button,then all the client who is visit this page should see the contents replaced by the flash at the same time.
I am not sure if you guys know what I am meaning. If not,I can update more details.
I am really Anxious, Thanks. :)
Since you're starting from scratch with Flash, I made a quick example of what I think you want to do. http://clearmpls.com/temp/fullscreen/ - the source files that I made this example with can be grabbed from here: http://clearmpls.com/temp/xml-loading-fullscreen-thing.zip
I used the Flash IDE to create this. You can grab a 60-day trial from Adobe's site here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash
This example shows examples of these functions:
- it loads an XML file with text data
- displays that data in a textfield on the stage
- gives you a button where you can toggle back and forth between fullscreen and regular
- resizes the stage and textfield based on what you have written in your XML file
