Simple custom event example actionscript 3.0

This is a simple custom Event example I hope this will help actionscript 3.0 bingers to understand how event works in actionscript 3.0. In this example I just created a MouseDown event listener for stage mouse clicks. Clicking the stage will trigger the custom event.

const CUSTOM_EVENT:String='custom_event';
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:Event){
    dispatchEvent(new Event(CUSTOM_EVENT));
}
addEventListener(CUSTOM_EVENT,onCustomevent)
function onCustomevent(e:Event){
    display.text="Custom Event Called"
}

how to post data from actionscript 3.0 to php or asp.net sample

this a small example for sending and retrieving data from serverside scripts like php , asp.net or any thing

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

/**
* ...
* @author Anil Mathew
*/
public class Main extends Sprite
{
public var loader:URLLoader; //url loader
private var _url:String // the url string
private var _req:URLRequest; // url request
public var _vars:URLVariables; // url variables
public function Main():void
{
 if (stage) init();
 else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}

private function init(e:Event = null):void
{
 removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
 // entry point
 _url = "http://www.yahoo.com/";// url where we need to post the data
 _req = new URLRequest(_url);// url request instance
 _req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST ; // metheod to use for the request
 _vars = new URLVariables();// url variables
 _vars.name = "Myname"; // sending name
 _vars.age = 21; //sending age
 loader = new URLLoader(); //loader instance
 loader.load(_req); //loading request
 loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);// event handler for complete event


}

 private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
         trace(event.target.data); // returned data
     }


}

}

what is php++

Hi,

Is there any one know what is PHP++ . I googled for it and don't get any correct information. some of my friend said that it a new php IDE. when i googled for it i get the following informations

1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-plus-plus/
   
2. PHP++ is an object-oriented version of PHP. Its primary goal is to reduce the amount of code one would need to rewrite for his or her site while maintaining functionality. Its other goals include converting a decent percentage of PHP's base functions into classes.
3. http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091225071153AA2DA6r

but there is noting to download and in the sourceforge site and the site saying that it's an inactive project any one here know what it is ?

swf and image loader component with progress bar

Today i just finished a small but useful (i think) component. this component is useful for beginners. and designers they don't know actionscript. ImageLoader very quick to use there are only three properties.

1. imageUrl
2. autoLoad
3. autoResize

imageUrl requires a string input for the file absolute or relative
autoLoad- if autoLoad set to true the image will automatically Load when the swf loads
autoResize- if autoResize set to true the image will resize to the component size otherwise it will maintain its actual size.

Simple use of component with actionscript 3.0

import com.anilmathewm.ImageLoader;
var loader:ImageLoader=new ImageLoader();
loader.imageUrl="urlhere";
loader.autoLoad=true;
loader.autoResize=true;

sony vaio adobe flash crush attempts to access webcam solution

This problem was caused by a known issue with a file on your computer that supports the capability of sharing your webcam over a Bluetooth wireless connection. The problem occurs when Adobe Flash attempts to access the webcam.

Sony Corporation is aware of the problem and is working as quickly as possible to make a solution available.

Until a permanent solution is available, you can prevent this problem from occurring again by renaming the file that caused the problem.

Note
The following procedure will disable the capability of sharing your webcam over a Bluetooth wireless connection, but it should not disturb any other webcam or Bluetooth capabilities.

Go to 'Computer' and explore drive C:\
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and search for BtwVdpCapFilter.dll andright-click on it to rename it to anything for example BtwVdpCapFiltertemp.dll and everything should be fine.
