[Flashcoders] How to get flash games onto a site ??
Hello, We are looking to add a little customised game to a product site. It will be either Pac-Man style or Spaceinvader style - both customised with our logos, and product stuff.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to get flash games onto a site ??
I don't think you will have any copyright issues as the games are so old and have been copied so many times I guess they are public domain now. If you are worried about that you should put an Originally by Namco or something on there. As for the coding I think you are going to have to do it from scratch unless you can find someone that has made them before that you can get the code off of. They are simple games and should not take too long to build, there will be examples of them on the web somewhere im sure.

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths
Right, this is not what I'm trying to achieve. The issue
is only for textfields, not movieclips.
I finally managed to find a workaround that works.
I used the TextField.prototype.swapDepths = MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths;
approach and it worked great!
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and discussion.

RE: [Flashcoders] image manipulation
Theoretically I guess this should be possible.

This can be more complicated than it seems... if, like I was, you are
using the imported MC height and width to find center position. These

If set the center position once, and import the mc there, it'll stay put.
If call centering routine a lot, (say on a resize function), the mc will
jump around depending on the current width,height.
If you use origional centering data (i.e. save the position) and then use
that in your resize function (calculate new mc position based on old mc
position, not on mc width/height) then you may be able to stop the behavior.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading swf From External Server Issue
Thanks for the response Tareq.
I am working with Flash player 6.
I have actually found this article which seems to address this issue
(with a lot of the same issues):

Has anyone else run into this?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loading swf From External Server Issue
Hello,
Am running into an issue here getting functions to work across servers.
Had the file working previously when it was calling the file locally,
however now that it has moved the functions are no longer working.
Previous code (that worked):
on(release)
{
if(!adIsLoaded)
{
ad.loadMovie(localFile.swf);
adIsLoaded = true;
}
else if(ad.isPaused)
{
ad.play();
ad.isPaused = false;
}
else
{
ad.stop();
ad.isPaused = true;
}
}
Code that is not working on a server... it works locally.
on(release)
{
if(!adIsLoaded)
{
ad.loadMovie(http://url.com/localFile.swf;);
adIsLoaded = true;
}
else if(ad.isPaused)
{
ad.play();
ad.isPaused = false;
}
else
{
ad.stop();
ad.isPaused = true;
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips
Greetings all, Hoping someone can help me out a bit in this conundrum here. I am trying to have a dynamically duplicated movie clip that is created whenever the user moves the mouse. When I have 'normal' values for depth (as in anything over 0), the code works perfectly, but I need this to be underneath all the content that is non-dynamic, and once i set the dept to negative, the movie stops working correctly. After a bit of reading, i found that the depth in duplicateMovieClip() is reserved from -16383 to -1 for author-time content, leaving the single value of -16384 to put dynamically created content underneath everything else. Is there any work around or trick (outside of puting the entire author time content into a movie clip and telling that to be at a specific, higher value) to 'free up' some more of that negative depth real estate?

Hi, Don't know if this would solve it, but I think one way would be to order your timeline like this: Toplayer: all my non-dynamic stuff Not-so-top-layer: dummyholder clip Now on mouse move you simply attach your clips to the dummyholder. Since the dummy holder is on a layer below the rest of your stuff, all should be ok.

No, the html that is being pushed into the field all looks good.

Yep! that did it Attaching the clips to a placeholder clip, rather than duplicating a clip already on the stage did the trick. I guess each movie clip has its own 'depth stack', so I can put as many duplicates as I want, and they are all where they should be, based on the placeholders position on the root depth stack.

Re: [Flashcoders] Accordion and scrollpane
you can do some minor math using a few Accordion properties (numChildren, headerHeight and width/height) then you can simply do.. var w:Number = accInst.width; var h:Number = accInst.height - (accInst.headerHeight*accInst.numChildren); getChildAt(index).setSize(w,h); that should resize the child at index to the width of the accordion and height of the accordion minus the hieght of all the headers.

Another thing I ran into was, that adding a scrollpane through myAcc.createChild(mx.containers.ScrollPane, Seemed to create errors (white headers, messages that content could not be loaded etc)... Any advice on these 2 issues would be appreciated. Greetz Hans J.C. Wichman . Software Engineer Tel. +31 (0)53 - 48 00 472 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.TriMM.nl TriMM interactieve media .

Re: [Flashcoders] Outsourcing
For starters, fix up your www site: More English content or a separate English language version Make your sample applications look more like finished products or more clearly identified as templates. If you have more demo templates to show off your skill, include them in your portfolio. Include a clear description of what type of work you are looking for or what services that you offer. Reference projects would help. Make sure that all of your links work. (TV... just goes to a directory listing) Your current site does not give any confidence that your work will be correct or properly finished. It is working against you at the moment. I hope that these ideas help you to get more of the work that you want. Ron Anggie Bratadinata wrote: JesterXL wrote: I'm assuming the USA is a developed country. LOL Yes. Tons of work is outsourced; it's the same with manufacturing; if the same job can be done cheaper in the long run, outsourcing is a good idea. There is a high demand for Flash, yes, but a higher demand for Flex is on the horizon, mainly because bigger projects are typically done with Flex, and as such, companies are needed to take responsibility with those projects vs. individuals. I've been working remotely for a couple of webdesign firms in US and Australia and I think the reasons they take me in are my rates which is a lot cheaper, my eyes, and technical skill. Also, we knew each other very well, way before they take me into their projects. I'm wondering, what more does it takes to push myself further into the outsourcing world? Certifications, perhaps? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] Different rotation point for different instances of same object?
Can I change the point of rotation (reference point) of different instances of a MC on the fly? I need several instances of an object to rotate but each about a unique reference point within the instance. Thanks, I don't want to do this programatically if I don't have to.
