Unity. C# is pretty easy to pickup if you're good with AS3 and Unity is so much more performant than Flash is.

Are you currently doing paid work with ActionScript 3.0? Yes If so, in what type of projects are you using ActionScript 3.0? I work in the digital department of a large events marketing company. Lately I've been using Unity more and more, but I still use Animate/AS3 for things like photobooth's and simple games. The photobooth(s) on Katy Perry's Witness Tour was made in Animate.

So, looked into this a little more and indeed it's due to using premultiplied alpha. It looks ok if I apply a little blur to the final result, or if I don't use full opacity but it's not ideal. Be great if copyPixels had a flag that allowed it to use straight alpha.

I am compositing (copyPixels) bitmaps with alpha into one bitmap... on the left I am compositing the two shapes onto a background bitmap that is solid gray and has no alpha. On the right is the exact same two shapes, however I am compositing them onto a background image that is transparent.. Notice the aliasing on the yellow edge at upper right. I figure it must be due to pre-multiplied alpha... problem is I need my background to be transparent, but I'd really like smooth edges like on the left.

Google can. There are many examples of AS3 particle effects where there are tens of thousands of particles.

2500 is hardly anything. Just think particle system... as3 can easily handle that.

Yes... not sure how but this line is missing: curDelta = thisDelta; that goes inside the if statement where curIndex is set to i - so: if(thisDelta < curDelta){ curIndex = i; curDelta = thisDelta; }

The output is correct - it's the array index not the value... If you want the value: var i:int = closestToZero(tideArray); trace(tideArray.difference); And if you want name too: trace(tideArray.name, tideArray.difference);

I don't think sort or sortOn will do what you want. Here's a little method that will return the index of the array element closes tto zero: var tideArray = new Array(); tideArray.push({tide:"pmm", difference: -2}); tideArray.push({tide:"pms", difference: 5}); tideArray.push({tide:"bmm", difference: -7}); tideArray.push({tide:"bms", difference: 8}); trace(closestToZero(tideArray)); function closestToZero(a:Array):int { var curDelta:int = Math.abs(0 - a[0].difference); var curIndex:int = 0; for(var i:int = 1; i < a.length; i++){ var thisDelta:int = Math.abs(0 - a.difference); if(thisDelta < curDelta){ curIndex = i; } } return curIndex; }

Another method: var t:String = "13:20"; trace(amPm(t)); function amPm(time:String):String { var h:String = time.substr(0,2); var m:String = time.substr(3,2); var a:String = " AM"; if(parseInt(h) > 12){ a = " PM"; h = String(parseInt(h) - 12); } return h + ":" + m + a; }

Something like should work - it's a bit more manual, but with four variables I think it's fine: var $pmm:String = "13h20"; var $pms:String = "23h30"; var $bmm:String = "05h30"; var $bms:String = "16h20"; var curClose:String = $pmm; var curDelta:int = delta($pmm); if(delta($pms) < curDelta){ curDelta = delta($pms); curClose = $pms; } if(delta($bmm) < curDelta){ curDelta = delta($bmm); curClose = $bmm; } if(delta($bms) < curDelta){ curDelta = delta($bms); curClose = $bms; } function delta(time:String):int { var n:int = (parseInt(time.substr(0,2)) * 3600) + (parseInt(time.substr(3,2)) * 60); var now:Date = new Date(); var curSec:int = (now.hours * 3600) + (now.minutes * 60); return Math.abs(curSec - n); }

You're welcome. And to answer your question: "Yet, do we know this will for sure get the same Movieclip that's been attached to the Class on stage?" Yes, of course. It's your code, right. Your main class instantiates a library clip and has a getter that returns a reference to it. Another class gets the reference. Unless you code it, there is no chance for some other, wrong, reference to be returned.

In your Player class, you must have something like thisPlayer = new mcPlayer(); which would be an instance from the library... Have a getter in the Player class you can use to get that reference to the actual movie clip. public function get clipRef():MovieClip { return thisPlayer; } And then in your Main class you would get the ref like: thePlayer = player.clipRef; and you can move, or do whatever, with that.

Using addChild() on something already on stage doesn't make any sense... and the OP mentions using keyframes to animate with. I tried the code on a text field, on stage, with two keyframes... it just sat there. I removed the addChild and it worked/animated properly.

Actually, I think the addChild(textBox01_txt) is the problem. Try removing that line...

I would suggest ditching the timeline animation and using TweenMax/Lite from Greensock. You have a lot more control and it's also a lot easier to change timing and such.

Yup I used the built in socket server class... it should be perfect for what you want I think:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/ServerSocket.html ServerSocket - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

You could use a simple Node server. I've done this in the past to control a game using a tablet... worked great actually.

Do this all the time... Typically I will show a thank you screen and do the encoding right after that appears. It locks flash for 5+ seconds depending on your resolution.

Part of this could be your touch monitor. The HP TouchSmart I use at work, for instance, only sees two touch points - so only one person would be able to pinch zoom at a time... but maybe two people could drag an item. Different touch monitors support different numbers of points. Also, I've had good luck in the past with this library: GitHub - fljot/Gestouch: Gestouch: multitouch gesture recognition library for Flash (ActionScript) development.

You could try something like this. In frame 1 of the instanced movieClip you want to animate: stop(); stage.addEventListener("PLAY", doPlay); function doPlay(e:Event):void { gotoAndPlay(2); } And then this on the main timeline - I have a shape with the instance name of 'btn'. btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doPlay); function doPlay(e:MouseEvent):void { stage.dispatchEvent(new Event("PLAY")); }

Have a sample of the video to test with? I haven't tried in a bit but I've gotten video to loop seamlessly, (at least that's what I remember), by using a cue point near the last frame, and listening for that instead of NetStream.Play.Stop which the flv player does. And then you're listening for it to throw a complete... that'll never be seamless. Also, I'd say there is no better replacement for Director than Animate. Unity is good, but Animate has much better UI tools, Bitmap tools, etc. There's nothing Director can do that Animate can't do better these days. And Lingo compared to AS3... no comparison. Lingo sucks.

Not much traffic on this. I have started writing my own as I just can't find anything decent for AS3. Will post results if anyone is interested.
