I realize this is a really old script, but it worked like a charm on an old website I had to update. I also got _alpha to work fine — I’m guessing your linkage wasn’t correct.

Thanks for the script!

hi theres, just to say that works like a charm….

only have one question, i wanna make the property _visible start after x seconds or after for example a tweendelay of _alpha, for example:

new TweenDelay(_root.contact, “_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, 0, true);

after the alpha reach 0 i want the _root.contact be _visible = true.

any idea?

thx in advance.

[...] the start of a tween. A while back I took my own shot at this based off of another class that I found and came up with: import mx.transitions.Tween; class com.vfd.animation.tweens.DelayedTween extends [...]

This is definitly of a great benefit, if it works (unfortunatly it doesn’t for me) since one can build a component using the “free” flex sdk, that can be used both for flex/air and the “commercial” Flash CS3.

This seems not to be the case however, as mentioned here (by Adobe too):

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000384.html

read the comments:

“SWCs generated in Flash, especially with the Flex Component Kit for
Flash CS3 (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3)
work in Flex. SWCs made in Flex usually will not work correctly in Flash. Specifically,
you cannot get the Flex components to work in Flash by packaging them as SWCs, or by
trying to use the framework.swc that comes with Flex.

So while there is compatibility, it is effectively one way at this time.”

I had created one library file in Flex and that swc file is working in
Flex application..
now that component has to work in the Flash CS3,
Let me know how to do that,,
or send me some URL for doing that.

Did you ever get anywhere with the “visual” aspect?

I managed to get automate the whole patching of a Flex SWC to work in CS3 – I’ve gotten LivePreview working too.

But whenever I run from within CS3, any components I dropped in are dropped from the SWF. Strangely, inspectable parameters *and* LivePreview works… all very bizarre.

I should mention. LivePreview works – but the DiplayObject size information is completely lost, and everything drag-drops at 500 x 375.

I’m going to experiment with some very simple visual only classes and see whether with the aid of a hex edit I can find out what is going on. The ABC dumps for library.swf are a little different from CS3 and Flex:

—- Flash
size [Rect -480 -840 1160 800]
frame rate 12
frame count 1
FileAttributes 4b 0%
SetBackgroundColor 3b 0%
undefined 11b 0%
DoABC2 792b 1%

—- Flex
size [Rect 0 0 10000 7500]
frame rate 24
frame count 1
FileAttributes 4b 0%
77 (invalid) 458b 0%
EnableDebugger2 31b 0%
DebugID 16b 0%
ScriptLimits 4b 0%
SetBackgroundColor 3b 0%
ProductInfo 26b 0%
DoABC2 7503b 10%

Disappointing so far. Flex exports share ready classes but not shapes. Flash exports share ready shapes and no classes.

Pfft.
