[Flashcoders] Private variables visible?
Hi. I'm having an issue that might be because of my error but can't figure out
what am I doing wrong. It's very simple.. i have a class with private vars and
they are visible outside the class.. everywhere.. in other movieclips, in the
root timeline :)
class MyClass {
private var _hidden:Number;
function MyClass() {
_hidden = 100;
}
}
attach this code to a movieclip in the ide (likage) and do a trace anywhere
outside the class to _root.mc._hidden
What is wrong here ??

Hello
Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).
For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash
project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external
clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in the
main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics all
in
one shot, as opposed to loading them individually.
From playing around with it - it seems as though the loaded clip is
treated
as an independent media element, with no access to it's children. Is
this
correct?

Re: [Flashcoders] Has an SWF file any influence over the file system??????

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
I guess what I'm looking for is an alternative to the clunky Shared
Library thing they've got set up. Im seeing now, however, that even if I
get this working, there would be no way to duplicate the externally loaded
swf's child to a clip in my main project (right?). In essence, I want to be
able to use the externally loaded clip as a library - but it is starting to
dawn on me that this is not possible (?).
(By the way, I'm mystified that the Shared Library has been implemented
the way that it has - the url requirement would seem to make it difficult to
arbitrarily load external libraries into a movie without manually changing
the URL properties in the IDE. It would be great if you could just load an
external library the way we do external clips).

I probably have a really simple question.. I have a movieclip which
containts the menu items (each button is a movieclip), and know one
section has a white background so the white buttons become invisible. Now
I would like to invert/change the colours of the buttons. Only when I use
setRGB() of the Color-class everything gets changed, so also the little
color differences when you rollover etc.
Anyone know how I can solve this problem the easiest way?
Weyert,
When you use setRGB, the whole object is tinted (replaced) with a given
color. What you're looking for is setTransform, which can do more advanced
color manipulation. It's like the Advanced option when editing movieclip
color options on its properties on the Flash IDE.
Check setTransform on the help docs. But briefly, to invert a movieclip
(make it 'negative', you can do:
new Color(myMC).setTransform({ra:-100, rb:255, ga:-100, gb:255, ba:-100,
bb:255});

Yes, I found some similar code too, only doesn't seem to work. You can't
invert it again to get white back. I think I will just recreate the
buttons each time you switch from section. This part is handled by code
anyways, the client want different colors when background is white...
sucks lol.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML Parsing
Dunno, try out Xpath instead? Is the recursion happening in the XML load in Flash or in the parser code you are using after the XML file is loaded? If it's in the parser code, try Xpath instead to see if that helps, as XPath doesn't work the same way- as I understand it, you access node values on the fly instead of looping through to create new objects like other parsers do.

Well, it is an absolute color transformation, so if you apply it again it
won't invert 'again', it will just set it to that inverted version. To
invert again, you actually have to reset its color transform, as in...
new Color(myMC).setTransform({ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0});

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Really don't know if is there a way to load a .fla asset (such as a
Library) into an swf..
but sure you can use an external swf as a content library, as long as
all library items (children mcs):
- can be referenced by instance name (which is to be set on the external
.fla)
- are not referenced by instance name, but can be univocally retrieved
by any other means (e.g. property values)
once acquired desiredChildMovieClip, you can duplicate it on your project.

Subject: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Hello
Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside
another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).
For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash
project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external
clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in the
main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics
all
in
one shot, as opposed to loading them individually.
From playing around with it - it seems as though the loaded clip is
treated
as an independent media element, with no access to it's children. Is
this
correct?

RE: [Flashcoders] Has an SWF file any influence over the filesystem??????
Using Flash 8's FileReference class (flash.net.FileReference), you can get a reference to a local file and upload it to a server. However, Flash cannot access the bytes of the file due to security restrictions. If you have a Flash movie in the remote sandbox (the SWF file is hosted on the internet) and you want to use it to play another SWF which is on your local computer, you would: 1) Upload the file to the server using FileReference 2) Download the file from the server into Flash using loadMovie If you are using AS3, you can also use the URLLoader class to load the swf as binary data, modify it, and then: 3) Upload it back to the server 4) Download the file back to the client Kind of round-about, but doable as long as the files aren't too large. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Weiser Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 8:05 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Has an SWF file any influence over the filesystem?? you mean Zinc. or other swf2exe, like screenweaver MW - Original Message - From: Marcelo de Moraes Serpa [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Has an SWF file any influence over the file system??

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Thanks much for your previous responses, very helpful.
One more question - how can I duplicate or attach a child clip of one clip
into another clip?
For example, if I have two clips on the timeline, can I somehow copy the
first child of one clip into another?
DuplicateMovieClip does not seem to provide this functionality. It seems
only allow you to create a duplicate that is attached to the same parent
clip. I want to be able to copy child clips from my loaded external clip,
into various clips in my project.

Actually, that is a little different. That would work if running the browser, as the browser would handle the HTTP auth (it would pop up a user / pass dialog).

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Hello August,
These all are common doubt indeed, they also made me lots of headaches (and
still do) when I started developing on the flash platform.
The problem is that the way the player works is not obvious (for me at
least). You have to do tricks such as import a clip from the externally
loaded swf to have access to its library DOM through actionscript, for
example (the infamous shared library trick, someone correct-me if I said
something wrong).
And regarding your duplicateMovieClip question. If I understood your case,
you can´t, for example, duplicate movieclip A from movieclip B TO
movieclip C, if you would like movieclip A to be duplicated into C,
you would have to call duplicateMovieClip from the context of movieclip C
and movieclip A would have to be a child of movieclip C (again,
corret-me if I´m wrong :P)
Hope this helps,
- Marcelo Serpa.

Subject: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Hello
Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside
another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).
For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash
project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external
clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in
the
main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics
all
in
one shot, as opposed to loading them

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Provided you know the child-to-copy instance name, that's a workaround:
say you have 2 mcs, one (a) created in your project and one (b) loaded
externally.
say you know the desired b-child instance name (b_child):
//create a copy of the desired child
var b_copy_child:MovieClip =
b_child.duplicateMovieClip(copy,b.getNextHighestDepth());
/*
*then 2 ways:
*a) if you simply want a reference to use in your project, work with
b_copy_child;
*b) if you really want b_child instance to be a child of a,
reference it from within,
* thanks to the fact MovieClip is dynamic:
*/
a.a_child = b_copy_child;
This, unless I'm missing some more-DOM-like AS2 interfaces - and then
I'd love to hear about..

Subject: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Hello
Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside
another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).
For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash
project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external
clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in
the
main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics
all
in
one shot, as opposed to loading them individually.
From playing around with it - it seems as though the loaded
clip is
treated
as an independent media element, with no access to it's
children. Is
this
correct?
Thanks,
August

Re: [Flashcoders] Focus Highlight with Components
Oh sorry, I don't have much experience with the v2 data grid. I think though you can pinpoint what is happening by overriding the scroll bars onRollOver event. Maybe if you could examine the source you would find out what the onRollOver may be delegated to. You might be able to see which event causes the effect, and maybe from there find an externalized method to disable it. From here though if there is no external method, you could always just override the function. Another way would be to just get rid of the movieclip that shows the effect, if it's dynamically drawn though you might not be able to do this. M.

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Francesco - I'll give that a try. It actually occurred to me, but I didn't
try it because I wasn't sure how the depth would be handled and what issues
would be associated with having a single clip instance be the child of two
parents. (When you move b, does it also move in a, even if a is not
moved?)

One more question - how can I duplicate or attach a child clip of one
clip
into another clip?
For example, if I have two clips on the timeline, can I somehow copy the
first child of one clip into another?
DuplicateMovieClip does not seem to provide this functionality. It seems
only allow you to create a duplicate that is attached to the same parent
clip. I want to be able to copy child clips from my loaded external
clip,
into various clips in my project.

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Francesco: I think that, by creating a new property on movieclip a and
referencing it to the b_copy_child (which in turn references copy in
movieclip b) would only allow you to control the copy movieclip located
into movieclip b.
I don´t have flash here so I can´t test anything and I´m just curious about
(as it has been quite some time since the last time I used
duplicateMovieClip) if this would work:
_root.duplicateMovieClip(_root.movieclip_b.mymc,mycopiedclip,1);
Would this code create a instance of the movieclip mymc into _root?
