Binding XML Data using XMLConnector (Flash Application)

To demonstrate the same, here in this article I am posting one simple application which makes use of Sprite class.

Flash Application: In the first frame, press F9 to open up ActionScript editor window, Copy and paste the code and save it as rotateRectObj.fla

Respective Code:

//Creating an object rectangle of type Sprite
var rectangle:Sprite = new Sprite();
rectangle.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x7B7B7B); //lineStyle(thickness, color)
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xA6A6A6); //beginFill(color)
rectangle.graphics.drawRect(0,0,60,60); //drawRect(x,y,width,height)
rectangle.graphics.endFill(); //endfill

var dot:Shape = new Shape(); //dot is a Shape Object
dot.graphics.lineStyle(0,0xFF0000); //lineStyle(thickness, color)
dot.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000); //beginFill(color)
dot.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,2); //drawCircle(x,y,radius)
dot.graphics.endFill(); //endfill

rectangle.addChild(dot); //add the dot object to the Rectangle
dot.x = 1; //x position -> 1
dot.y = 1; //y positin -> 1

this.addChild(rectangle); //adding a rectangle to the stage
rectangle.x = 200; //x position -> 200
rectangle.y = 200; //y position -> 200

/*
adding an EventListener to the stage, and here we are calling 'rotateRectObject'
function on when ENTER_FRAME is fired.
*/
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateRectObject);
function rotateRectObject(evt:Event):void {
//rotation is a property to rotate the respective object
rectangle.rotation+=10;
}

Once done with the saving of the file, then click ctrl+Enter to preview the same.

Explanation of the Code:
My requirement in this application is to rotate an Rectangle Object clock wise. For this I have created an Sprite object named ‘rectangle’ and to this object I have added some additional graphics like ‘lineStyle’, beginFill, drawRect, endFill

Methods and Properties used in this example:

1. linestyle() is a method, Which specifies a line style like thickness , color for the object. In our example we have written like this:rectangle.graphics.lineStyle(0,0×7B7B7B); // Here 0 is the thickness and 0×7B7B7B is the color, I have choosen my own colorActual Syntax for lineStyle is:

   public function lineStyle(thickness:Number, color:uint = 0,  alpha:Number = 1.0, pixelHinting:Boolean = false, scaleMode:String =  "normal", caps:String = null, joints:String = null, miterLimit:Number =  3):void

2. beginFill() is a method, which Specifies a simple one-color fill, Flash Player does not render the fill until the endFill method is called.Actual Syntax for beginFill is:

   public function beginFill(color:uint, alpha:Number = 1.0):void

3. drawRect() is a method, which draws a rectangle. We must set the line style, fill, or both before you call the drawRect() method, by calling the linestyle() , beginFill() method.Actual Syntax for drawRect is:

   public function drawRect(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):void

4. addChild() is a method, which adds a child DisplayObject instance to this DisplayObjectContainer instance.Actual Syntax for addChild is:

   public function addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject

5. addEventListener() is a method, which adds respective event to the object. Like Event.ENTER_FRAME, MouseEvent.CLICK etc., and when event has fired call a respective function, like in this example I am calling rotateRectObject function.
6. rotation is a property, which indicates the rotation of the target object. Here the target object is ‘rectangle’.

Output:

This has got many features like:

1. Provides a user-friendly interface to quickly browse and play SWF on your hard drive or network.
2. Supports Flash CS3 (9.0) and ActionScript 3.0 completely.
3. Converts SWF to FLA stably.
4. Compatible with both ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3.
5. Supports exporting FLA file with ActionScript 3.
6. Supports exporting ActionScript in *.as format.
7. Supports Flash components.
8. Decompiles the ActionScript code and generates neat and readable code.
9. Shows the script code neatly within the program and exports the ActionScript while converting the SWF to FLA.
10. Can extract the shapes, sounds, images, sprites, fonts, texts and ActionScript from a Flash movie.
11. Can extract the video file from a Flash movie and export it in *.flv format.
12. Enable to browse and preview any resource before exporting.
13. Shows detail properties of elements in Flash movies.
14. Can be invoked from Windows Explorer.
15. User-friendly Explorer-like interface.

Including with the above features it provides a user-friendly interface, and a built-in player enables you to preview the movie and every element before exporting, Awesome Right? Yeah, if you would like to know more about this, then visit this link - Sothink
