Hey all, A quick question; has anyone ever had problems creating a sharedObject that uses a variable as a part of the name? I've a scenario with multiple groups of mapping data (saving coordinates, and items for each). I've programmed the sharedObject to contain a group of arrays that hold each required bit of info. When I saw that I'd forgotten to accommodate for multiple maps (load toggled with a pulldown menu), I figured an easy fix would be to just use multiple sharedObjects - as the map data is only relevant to the loaded map.
mySO = SharedObject.getLocal("mapPoints"); // has no problems mySO = SharedObject.getLocal("mapPoints"+5); // has no problems ...but... mySO = SharedObject.getLocal("mapPoints"+_root.loadedRegion); // where the loadedRegion is numeric, seems to be stubborn. I'm tracing that variable, and the numbers show fine...just doesn't create the object. Any thoughts and guidance is appreciated :) Clayton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 11:00 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 20, Issue 28 Send Flashcoders mailing list submissions to flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Flashcoders digest..."

So in my main movie there is a MC in which there is a scrollpane (called "scroller"). For that scrollpane I attach a dynamic MC (empty) holder from the library. Now in my MC (that is in my main movie - which contains the scrollpane) I have the following code: FRAME 1 this.scroller.contentPath = "dynSubMenu"; FRAME 2 //remoting import com.includingatree.dkcms.MenuData; var myUserMenu:MenuData = new MenuData(this.scroller.spContentHolder); myUserMenu.getUsers("Artismo"); //heard resetting the "auto" helps this.scroller.vScrollPolicy = "auto"; //tried both redraw and invalidate here. //this.scroller.invalidate(); this.scroller.redraw(true); FRAME 3 //have a frame 3 as I read invalidate forces the redraw on the next frame. stop(); Now all my data is populating great - it is just the scroll bars.

When you try to use it, Flash only uses one of the layers as the mask and not the whole movieclip as I expected. Take a look at these two screenshots: * http://chapeco-online.com.br/sshot1.JPG - the movieclip that is used as a mask is opened. You can see the two layers, one for each of the tweened shapes (shape tween) * http://chapeco-online.com.br/sshot2.JPG - the mask applied. You can see that only one of the shapes has been applied, the other didn't. Why?

It might be one of this things : - call redraw(true) before you start working with it - before you set the contentPath, wait a few frames to make sure your scrollpane is fully loaded (use doLater if you can) - I case you use getNextHighestDepth(), don't leave any component on stage , try and nest them into a movieclip and attach that on a specific depth. dnk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi there - I am having an issue where I have a scrollpane component on my stage that loads and uses an empty movie clip from my library. Now that clip (from the library) has a few remoting calls in it that dynamically populate the MovieClip with text fields, etc. These text fields are then populated with results from my database. The scroll pane is set to "auto" for the vertical scrollbar. Now my issue is that when the content is loaded, a vertical scroll bar does not show even though it should in this case (I know there are many results from the database). Now i am pretty sure that my issue is that when my contentPath is set for the scrollpane, there has not yet been any content created in the MovieClip - hence no scrollbar. My data does in fact populate, and all of it is there - but the scrollbar just does not show up when it should.

I posted this earlier but received no response so perhaps I didn't phrase my question very well. I have a sequence of 3D bitmaps - its an object rotating 360 degrees. I've put the frames in a MC. Right now I have code that tracks the mouse and depending on if the mouse moves in +x or -x the frames go forward or backward. But, what I really want is for the MC to be controlled by a click drag - so it looks like you are rotating the object with the mouse. Can anyone give any advice? It seems like a very simple thing to accomplish, but I'm a 3D animator, not an actionscripter and I just can't wrap my brain around this one.

When the user clicks the area, you save the main stage _xmouse to any other auxiliary variable. Then, when the user moves the mouse, if you subtract the saved/original _xmouse from the current new _xmouse, you will get the ammount of 'pixels' it should move (then you have to translate that to how many frames you want your animation to skip forward/backward).

To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I've got textFields using html text that I need to get an accurate way of finding the line count...I got it working when I knew the size of the font attributed to that textField, but with one field it can have multiple formats. It's been a long tired weekend of sleepless coding, so I'm going to try doing it myself, but if someone has an answer... I thought that after I set the htmlText, I originally was going to try to get the newlines, but just realized that's not going to work.... thoughts? ------------------------------ Message: 22 Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 11:30:40 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] Q: Strange error'Enhanced fill not supported in current player version To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi I'm creating some banner ads with some simple gradient fills and targeting FP7.

We both like to separate design from code, but we have slightly different ways of doing it. This is what he does : He leaves design elements on stage and includes and external .as file to handle the logic. #include 'script.as' I like to think in terms of oop. So instead of including a script, I write something use: SampleClass.main(this) main is something like this : public static function main(target_mc:MovieClip) { instance = new SampleClass(target_mc); } What do you guys think ? Which method is more of your taste and why ? --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
