Common library for your Flash application

Hi,
In this i like to tell a simple way how to use the same movie clip in all your files with out any searching.

By using Common library.....

First create a file consider your logo so that in what ever file you like to put the corresponding logo can be placed with easy way.
Create a Flash file with a library containing the logos and all your movie clip you want to use.
Place the Flash file in the location
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Libraries\
And now check your flash windows -> common libraries You can see the file name you placed :-)

Now whatever movie clip you want to import which is in the common library just go to windows -> common libraries -> You will get the movie clip in a separate library you can drag it to the working area to include in the new file....

Enjoy the cool stuff...

Rectangle primitive Tool

Hi,
I like to explain a small tool where most people don't use to use it......
It is called as "Rectangle primitive Tool" by default it use to the the sub tool in the Rectangle tool in Tool panel.

If we thought of drawing a curved edge rectangle this Rectangle primitive Tool is useful.
Even after drawing a curve we can adjust the curves.
It is too efficient in the way like making changes in all 4 corners separately . Where you can get the exact way of you want. The most highlight is you can edit whenever you want.....

I hope you got some New thing regarding flash

Cool fine

Class and Function in AS3

Hi Guys,
This is my first tutorial in AS3.
The big change in AS2 and AS3 is Object Oriented Programming.

In AS3 all are considered as Object, Class. In this let me say What is Class ? , What is Object? , What is Package and their syntax.

Package:
Package is the collection of class. Class needs to be specified with in a package.

Syntax:
package
{
....
...
}

Class:
Class is the collection of function and variables.

Syntax:
class
{
...
...
}

type can be of 4 types : dynamic, final, internal, public where internal id default.

Object:
Object is the instance of class. Hear is the power of Object oriented programming by creating a single class we can create multiple objects.

var : = new ();

Example with all package, class, object...

//sample.as
package
{
class sample
{
sample()
{
trace("Hi");
}
}
}

//main.fla
var my_obj:sample = new sample();

Note : Both main.fla and sample.as must be in the same place.
Note : AS3 is case sensitive.
