[Flashcoders] Levels and Classes
I have a base swf (_level0) and I´m loading an swf into _level2 and another swf into _level3. The swfs in _level2 and _level3 both use classes with the same name, but the content of the classes are different. I found out that when I loaded the _level3-swf the classes in the _level2-swf was replaced with the new ones, and the result was chaos. Is there a way to avoid this problem, except from renaming the classes and recompile?

[Flashcoders] Re: diagonal slices of a grid (was: Displaying objects)
To get the indeces of the tiles in diagonal 'rows' or 'slices' in a grid you
could do something like this:
function getDiagonalGridSlices(numRows:Number, numCols:Number,
startingCorner:String):Array{
var a1 = new Array(), a2 = new Array(), c = 0;
for(var i=0; inumCols; i++){
a2[i] = new Array();
for(var j=0; jnumRows; j++){
a2[i][j] = c;
c++;
}
}
if(startingCorner == 'topLeft' || startingCorner == 'bottomRight'){
for(var i=0; inumCols*2 + 1; i++){
a1[i] = new Array();
var ii = i;
for(var j=0; jnumRows; j++){
if(a2[ii][j] != undefined){
a1[i].push(a2[ii][j]);
}
ii--;
if(ii 0){
break;
}
}
}
if(startingCorner == 'bottomRight'){
a1.reverse();
}
}else if(startingCorner == 'topRight' || startingCorner ==
'bottomLeft'){
// todo - adjust accordingly
}
return a1;
}
// for testing
// In the library: a 50x50 shape, linkage name 'square'
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
numRows = 3;
numCols = 5;
tileWidth = tileHeight = 50;
diagonalGridSlices = getDiagonalGridSlices(numRows, numCols, 'topLeft');
tiles = createTiles(numRows, numCols, tileWidth, tileHeight);
m = 0;
buildTiles = setInterval(fadeTiles, 100);
function createTiles(numRows:Number, numCols:Number, tileWidth:Number,
tileHeight:Number):Array{
var tiles = new Array();
for(var i=0; inumRows*numCols; i++){
tiles[i] = _root.attachMovie(square, tile + i + _mc, i, {_x:i %
numRows * tileWidth,_y:Math.floor(i / numRows) * tileHeight, _alpha:0});
}
return tiles;
}
function fadeTiles():Void{
if (m == diagonalGridSlices.length){
clearInterval(buildTiles);
} else {
for(var i=0, len=diagonalGridSlices[m].length; ilen; i++){
new Tween(tiles[diagonalGridSlices[m][i]], _alpha,
Regular.easeInOut, 0, 100, 35,false);
}
m++;
}
}

Hehe, all good. Thanks John. I'm sitting here trying to write something
mathematically that works. Turns out I am the suck at math, so it's making
this complicated. Hand coding the array would be laborsome and wouldn't
allow for extensibility.
Grrr...

Re: [Flashcoders] Radiobutton - Dispatch event on code selected?
It´s possible to make the radio button dispatch the click event if i
select it by code?
Not directly, but you could add something like this (I haven't used the rb
component for a while, but I think this would work
radioButton.autoClick=function() {
this.selected=true
linkType_cml.setType()
}
Then to select the radio button you just call radioButton.autoClick(), and
your event should be dispatched.

Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
I agree with your sentiments Ron, that future designers of RIAs authored with Flash need to be aware of this issue. To clarify my own situation, I have inherited half-way through development an extremely complex system, that has just gone live with several thousand users. The system is a joint effort by several organisations. Roll-out has been exceptionally smooth. The printing functionality was one of the many late spec changes that the client asked for. As the system is composed of many V2-style components, many of which use interval timers to get around initialization issues, and has a lot of real-time financial data transfer going on in the background, setintervals, etc etc, that to reengineer it at this stage is totally out of the question. I believe that it is up to Macromedia to engineer the Flash player and the intrinsic classes that we developers can do nothing about, so that they work robustly and as expected. They could at least amend the documentaion for PrintJob to warn developers of the issues. --- On Wed 03/29, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Ron Wheeler [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:04:19 -0500 Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.

The effect on a communication link of an extended timeout might be one of the problems that you encounter since the other end might decide that you have died over lunch and cut its end.

Re: [Flashcoders] Radiobutton - Dispatch event on code selected?
Sure its possible!!!
Marcelo,
here is a solution:
put two radio buttons on the stage and call it rb1 / rb2. then in the
actions layer put:
import mx.controls.RadioButton;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
//create prototype reference for RadioButton
var osv = _global.mx.controls.RadioButton.prototype;
//hold onto the old setSelected method ( The intrinsic set Selected
method is in SimpleButton, RadioButton inherits from that. the set
method simply calls setSelected. )
osv.oldSetSelected = osv.setSelected;
osv.oldOnRelease = osv.onRelease;
//overwrite onrelease to deal with multiple events being dispatched.
osv.onRelease = function():Void
{
this['wasReleased'] = true;
this.oldOnRelease.apply(this,[]);
}
//overwrite the old method with new method.
osv.setSelected = function(val:Boolean):Void
{
if( !this['wasReleased'] )
{
if( val == true )
{
this.dispatchEvent( { type:'codeSelected' } );
this.oldSetSelected.apply( this,[ true ] );
}
}
else
{
this.oldSetSelected.apply( this,[ true ] );
}
this['wasReleased'] = false;
}
//add listener to radio button.
rb1.addEventListener('codeSelected', Delegate.create(this,
handleCodeSelect));
rb1.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this, handleClick));
//handle code selected event
function handleCodeSelect():Void
{
trace(codeSelected);
}
//handle click event
function handleClick():Void
{
trace(CLICK);
}
//set an interval to do some testing on the codeSelected event
tmpInt = setInterval(setSel,1000,true);
//set the selected property
function setSel():Void
{
//trigger the event
rb1.selected = true;
}
test that out.. you'll see that for testing i just set an interval to
change the selected property to true.. the event gets dispatched every
time the selected property is set to true. Also worth mentioning you
have to update the onRelease method to deal with multiple events being
dispatched. Also don't name the codeSelected event as click, as that is
not whats happening and would cause confusion.
rb2 is never used in this example.. just use that to click back and
forth between... also try commenting out the interval just for more
testing.. you'll see that just the click event fires..

[Flashcoders] shared library preloading problem
Hi List, Am facing a strange issue using shared libraries. I'll describe the detail : 1. 2 shared libraries. 141kb and 40kb approx. 2. The main movie preloads the 2 shared libraries in the first frame using MovieClipLoader. When both the shared libraries get loaded, onLoadComplete the control goes and stops at frame label called module. 3. the frame label module, has content from the shared library. The preloader is working fine. PROBLEM : after preloading the movie stops just one frame before the frame labeled module. It doesn't goto frame module.

[Flashcoders] Flash and various date formats ...
I have a little flash app. that pulls in various dates that are formatted in numerous ways. Before I look at creating a class that will return me a standard way to display the date, has anyone done anything like this before or know where I can download something similar to use or build on ?. To clarify, the following list shows the date formats (there's a few) I am dealing with: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:25:40 GMT Wed, 29 Mar 2006 21:00:00 PST Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:00:00 EST Mar 24, 2006 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:00:03 + 2006-03-30T03:33:00+00:00 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 05:24:46 -0500 Tue, 28 Mar 2006 18:19:40 EDT Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:32:00 +1000 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0800 Actually, now that I think of it, maybe I should compare these dates and the exact time on the users PC so that I can display the time difference between the two, like how digg shows how long ago a story was submitted (e.g: 15 hours, 43 minutes ago). Anyone advise, maybe I'm being lazy and should just dive in.

You should use the MovieClipLoader-Class which fires an onLoadError-event.

[Flashcoders] RE: what´s the catch?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Macromedia library functions
don't throw errors that are catchable in Actionscript using try/catch (unlike
for example, Java libraries, which are all designed to throw errors which are
catchable by the developer).
The try/catch clause in Actionscript is only really useful in detecting your
own predefined errors.
However there is some debate in the Software Engineering world at large as to
the usefulness of try/catch clauses, as using it makes source code much harder
to read and understand, and causes more lines of code to be written.

RE: [Flashcoders] what�s the catch?
loadMovieNum (loadMovie, loadVariables, etc.) is an asynchronous function,
meaning it doesn't return immediately. If it did, it would mean Flash
would have to halt all execution until it received a response from a
server in order to get the SWF either completely loaded or at least get
the header info to know if the file was found. In either case this would
cause the player to hang while it waited for a response.
Flash's load commands are not executed at the point you write them. The
calls are queued and executed at the end of the frame actions. The values
you pass are actually evaluated at that point, but the call to the outside
world doesn't occur then.
You'll need to use another mechanism to see if the call was successful or
not. The MovieClipLoader class, for example, has multiple events,
including onLoadError.
One word of caution though, MovieClipLoader works for the majority of
cases, but I have seen cases where the network connection fails yet
MovieClipLoader calls onLoadComplete - very annoying.

Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
Let us know how it all works out. Good luck. Ron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with your sentiments Ron, that future designers of RIAs authored with Flash need to be aware of this issue. To clarify my own situation, I have inherited half-way through development an extremely complex system, that has just gone live with several thousand users. The system is a joint effort by several organisations. Roll-out has been exceptionally smooth. The printing functionality was one of the many late spec changes that the client asked for. As the system is composed of many V2-style components, many of which use interval timers to get around initialization issues, and has a lot of real-time financial data transfer going on in the background, setintervals, etc etc, that to reengineer it at this stage is totally out of the question. I believe that it is up to Macromedia to engineer the Flash player and the intrinsic classes that we developers can do nothing about, so that they work robustly and as expected. They could at least amend the documentaion for PrintJob to warn developers of the issues. --- On Wed 03/29, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Ron Wheeler [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:04:19 -0500 Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.

The effect on a communication link of an extended timeout might be one of the problems that you encounter since the other end might decide that you have died over lunch and cut its end.

[Flashcoders] Problem with DestroyObject
(Sorry for the cross-post, I accidentally sent it to FlashObject first.) Hey all, need to see if anyone has had this problem: - create a V2 Component (say C1) that uses a ComboBox, Text and MovieClip - create a 2nd V2 Component (C2) that instantiates a given number of C1s - Create a test FLA that creates 2 instances of C1 and 1 instance of C2. It also creates two ComboBoxes used to feed test parameters to the C1 and C2 instances. - As part of this, I perform a DestroyObject on C2 and create another instance (with a different parameters and linkage name C3). The Problem: 1) DestroyObject does not seem to have a direct effect. The objects are still there. 2) For some reason, it clobbers ALL the ComboBox components on stage - the two normal ComboBoxes AND the 2 instances of C1 on the stage (but NOT in the C2 or C3 component instances)! When I say clobber, I mean that the ComboBoxes no longer function normally. One reacts to click, but is impossibly narrow. The other one only shows an arrow when pulled down!

[Flashcoders] Counter in function assigned inside a for loop
Heya guys,
I am assigning the button behaviors to a set of movieclips through a
for loop, however, I am coming up against something where I know what
is happening, but don't know how to fix it.
Basically, inside that for loop I assign each of the button behaviors
as a function but I don't know how to evaluate the counter in the
function, rather than having it just literally written into it.
instead of section_+ _root.i being section_1, section_2, etc...it
is literally written in each of the buttons as section_+_root.i and
so each button has exactly the same code and all go to the last
section (last value of i) when clicked.
How can I have it so that each function has the proper code it in? is
this even the proper way to go about this? Is there a way to 'force'
the evaluation of that counter in that function when it is being
assigned to the MC?
code:
function buttonBehavior ():Void {
for (_root.i=1;_root.i8;_root.i++) {
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(over);
}
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(out);
}
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndPlay(display_frame);
loadMovie(section_+_root.i+.swf, load_target);
}
}
}
(btw, I added the _root. to each of the i's so that the function could 'see' it.
thanks in advance!
-Alex

[Flashcoders] MovieClip.loadMovie(), accessing assets in another Library.
Now, I always thought this couldn't be done. In the past I've designed Flash systems that dynamically load in hundreds of swf asset files, and the controlling container swf has instructed loaded-in swfs to attachMovie assets in their own Library.. eg, the controller has told a loaded movie to attach and play a Sound asset in its own Library. The attachMovie is happening within that loaded-in movie's clip level. However, as most Flash developers know, and the Flash documentation explains, you cannot attach an asset in a dynamically loaded Flash movie's Library into a clip in another Flash movie (other than the clip to which the loaded-in swf is attached). Sorry if that's as clear as mud. eg, in the attachMovie doc, http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004file=1487.html someone has stuck a comment :- You CANNOT attachMovie with assets from a dynamically loaded library to any other timeline than where the library was loaded. IE: Load your swf into _level0.mc1.mc12 you CAN attach to these locations: _level0.mc1.mc12 _level0.mc1.mc12.mc123 _level0.mc1.mc12.mc124 _level0.mc1.mc12.mc125 you CANNOT attach from this loaded library to these locations: _level0 _level0.mc1 _level0.mc2 _level0.mc2.mc21 and so on BUT! I've heard on the grapevine that a developer who knows a developer who knows a developer knows how to attach assets in a dynamically loaded swf's Library into clips in the containg movie. My client has caught wind of this and now wants me to do it... I would just dismiss it as nonsense, but there's a sentence in Macromedia's documentation that makes me wonder (actually talking about lockroot, which AFAIK only has the purpose of making _root references in loaded content continue referring to that timeline.. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004file=1519.html When calling loadMovie(), set the MovieClip._lockroot property to true in the loader movie, as shown in the following code. If you don't set _lockroot to true in the loader movie, the loader has access only to its own library, but not the library in the loaded movie: Could this be a mistake in the documentation? If not, then HOW do you attach stuff from one movie's Library into another movie?? ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ___ 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
