[flexcoders] Re: AS2 to AS3 - looping over loaded SWF
Hi,
Thanks, I did try Alex's Distortion Effects, quite impressive.
However, I am not sure if it will do what I need. Unless I overlooked
something?
What I am infact flipping are model home floor plans. It allows users
to take a look at the reverse of the home.
A plan is a loaded swf file, users can add elements to the plan,
which are other swf's loaded on top. The plans have text in them and
when I just flip the Display Object Container (containing all the
swf's) the text is unreadable. However, it is readable when I loop
thru and flip all the mc's in the swf (not the whole thing). I have
it working in flash 8 AS2 which I am better at but AS3 and Flex are
giving me a hard time...
To simplify, I need to loop thru loaded swf files and flip all nested
movie clipsno animation needed.
My main loop in AS2 is:
for (var i in targetClip) {
if (typeof targetClip[i] == movieclip){
targetClip[i].scaleX = targetClip[i].scaleX *-1
}
}
Could anyone help me with this please. Any help would be appriciated.
Thank-you

performance issues once you deal with several
movieclips. Any insight on that guys?

Hi there,

some difficulty...

.
I loaded a swf with SwfLoader, casted it as a
MovieClip. I am now
trying to loop thru the loaded SWF to flip all movie
clips
I've done this before in AS2 like this:
for (var i in targetClip) {
if (typeof targetClip[i] == movieclip){
targetClip[i].scaleX = targetClip[i].scaleX *
-1
}
}
What properties of the SWF or MovieClip Object
should I target for my
loop. Or am I way off base?
Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have looked at Alex's distortion effects and it is quite impressive.
However, I am not sure it does what I need, perhaps I am overlooking
a method?
What I am infact flipping are home floor plans... showing
the reverse of the floor plan.(no animation ness.) This object is
created dynamically, the user adds elements to it (other loaded swf's
layered on top). So, a further explanation of what needs to be done
is: to flip each mc of each loaded swf. I can just flip the whole
Display Object Container however, there is text in these swf's. By
flipping each mc of each swf the text reads properly. I have it
working in Flash 8, which I am much better at, but in AS 3 in
Flex.. another story..I just cannot figure out the new structure in
AS3..
So, unless I missed something in Alex's distortion effects, I am back
to looping thru my loaded swf's mc's...Could anyone point me in the
right direction?
Much appreciated, thank-you
