This took far too long and not comprehensive by any stretch of the imagination. But its a start ok?!

The work posted is a snapshot of the bigger Flash based projects I have been involved in over the last year.
There’s a lot of front end development (html/css/js) projects to go up at some point soon.

Check it out now.

AS3 combobox bug

nick — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:45:37 +0000

Every so often in the CS4 Flash file I’m working on, the standard flash combobox component seems to corrupt once compiled. You get undefined errors in the output window when clicking on the dropdown which point to some of the imported event listener classes are missing.

The only solution so far is to drop a new copy of the component into the library and replace the current version. Has anybody else seen this before?

Controlling flippingbook api within loaded swf pages

FlippingBook HTML Edition is a set of JavaScript and SWF files running on your HTML page. When a page is loaded, the code contained in these files automatically builds in the flash album having such options as: zooming, printing, saving, contents, navigation.

All good until your client wants to add any extra features! For the record, Flippingbook’s support and documentation is crap. One simple requirement is having buttons on the internal pages that link to other pages within the book.

When you add the simple bit of actionscript below to any swf pages published you can start talking back to the JavaScript Object and methods. No Examples included but can be if requested…

import flash.external.*;
 
function goToPage(_num):Void
{
ExternalInterface.call("flippingBook.flipGotoPage", _num);
}
function goToFirstPage():Void
{
ExternalInterface.call("flippingBook.flipGotoFirstPage", "");
}
//
this.btn_goToPage.onRelease = function()
{
goToPage(4);
}
this.btn_goToFirstPage.onRelease = function()
{
goToFirstPage();
}
