Re: [Flashcoders] ObjectEncoding for LocalConnection
Yeah that's exactly it, trying to get Flex front end to communicate with Xray connector in flash 8 swf. Right now, I set up a simple LC in a basic Flex front end that has a method for listening for trace statements and while it connects just fine, nothing is received on the method defined. I assume since LC uses AMF that it'd have to be set to AMF0 for the communication to work. Maybe I'm missing something simple, but I've tripple checked things like *when* the connection is made in relation to when the object is instantiated (hence the custom method being available before connecting).

[Flashcoders] Passing TextField Instance Name to Function
Hello all. This is probably very simple. I'm trying to pass the instance
name of a textfield to a setTextColor function which applies a
TextFormat. The function takes 4 parameters, the new format name, the
textfield instance name, the textfield color, and the textfield alignment.
Everything is passed correctly except for the textfield instance name.
The absolute path is passed, which means _level0. is appended to the
beginning of the full path.
So for instance, I pass leftInfoClip.topLeftTabs.leftTab.tabTitle, where
tabTitle is the actual textfield. when I pass it to the setTextColor
function and trace it, _level0.leftInfoClip.topLeftTabs.leftTab.tabTitle
is returned. This would be fine except for when I try and evaluate the
variable inside the function with _root[var], it fails. See below:
setTextColor(topLeftTab,leftInfoClip.topLeftTabs.leftTab.tabTitle,0x00,left);
function setTextColor(formatName, fieldClip, col, align) {
_root[formatName] = new TextFormat();
_root[formatName].color = col;
_root[formatName].align = align;
//this is the problem here. I can't remove _root, because that
is bad syntax. this also doesn't work. so I'm left with _root. +
_level0.leftInfoClip.topLeftTabs.leftTab.tabTitle.
_root[fieldClip].setTextFormat(_root[formatName]);
}
Thanks,
Brandon Lee

Re: [Flashcoders] ObjectEncoding for LocalConnection
DOH.. LocalConnection... Thought you were talking about NetConnection.. Does LocalConnection need objectEncoding? Are you trying to have a Flex swf communicate with a Flash swf?

Re: [Flashcoders] Passing TextField Instance Name to Function
I just created three textfields on the stage and named them
fieldClip, fieldClip1 and fieldClip2.
The following rewritten code of yours worked fine. Is this what you
were trying to accomplish?
Gerry
code
function setTextColor(formatName, fieldClip, col, align) {
formatName = new TextFormat();
formatName.color = col;
formatName.align = align;
fieldClip.setTextFormat(formatName);
}
fieldClip.text = testing color;
fieldClip1.text = testing color 1;
fieldClip2.text = testing color 2;
_root.onLoad = function(){
setTextColor(myColor,fieldClip1,0x99,left);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] problems loading an image into a movieclip
You probably don't see the image because you can't load BMP's in to
Flash... Only SWF, JPEG, GIF or PNG if you're using Flash 8. When
targeting for older Flash versions, you can only load SWF JPEG's.

RE: [Flashcoders] hitTest vs onRollOver/onRollOut
Thanks a bunch for the info! I'm surprised to hear that the hitTest actually
performs better, although I agree that the things I may have to add will
more than balance it out.
Basically, I'm trying to grow my own button class which has disabled and
on/off states in addition to rollover and press. I'd like to be able to use
hitTests rather than rollover and rolloff because I frequently run into
situations where I want to put a button inside a movie which itself may have
rollover or rolloff event handlers and the event doesn't reach my button.
I like the hit test approach, but if there was a significant performance
concern, I was going to have to consider another way of going about it.
I've found some AS2.0 classes at
http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php which may do part of what I
need. The main trick now is to figure out how to make a nice packaged
component that allows a designer to modify the look without having to do too
much work.
I hope to figure out how to deliver them similar to Elvis Mehmedovic's work
(http://chq.emehmedovic.com/) where all the elements are readily available
in the flash movie for tweaking if necessary.

phaedrus,
You will find that, in the beginning, the hitTests will use up less
processor (better performance). The examples you have below, for example.
However, if you program all the logic you'd need to behave exactly as the
other method (keeping track of all the details, etc) you'll quickly begin to
match the performance and it may end up not being worth the time and bugs
anymore. I still want to build a hitTest solution, mostly for my own
enjoyment, that will at least have equal performance if not better. But it
becomes harder for other developers to work with non-standard inventions,
cool as they may be, and eventually people just get frustrated with your
code.
If it's just for you or you don't plan and building a full mouse-behavior
replacement, try experimenting with _dropTarget ... there's some
possibilities there ;)
good luck,

Re: [Flashcoders] hitTest vs onRollOver/onRollOut
The main thing that can really add up in processor is the number of
MovieClips at the same level (sharing the same parent). You'll save
processor best if you don't have any on-event events as well, such as
onPress, etc. It's because Flash spends a lot on keeping up with it.
It's really fun to play with ... I had a system that used _droptarget to get
the topmost movieclip and dispatch events up it's parent chain much like AS3
does now. However, the processor was not too friendly, but I know I could do
a lot more viable solution now-days. Let us know how it goes!

[Flashcoders] Tweening Multiple Objects at the same time
Hello All --- I am using a custom tween class (SuperEase) I found online to tween objects. However, I have run into a situation where I need to have two objects start tweening at the same time. The SuperEase class does not allow for this functionality. I can tween both objectives sequentially (one starts after the other has started) however this produces a noticeable lag between the 2 objects. I have tried to resolve it by changing the # of frames / seconds, but this is somewhat tedious to match up between the 2 objects. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to resolve this issue so that the 2 objects start tweening simultaneously? Any suggestions on an alternate class? Thanks for any and all replies. ___ 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] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
Hello Everyone,
I am experiencing a strange issue when I am trying to do an onRelease in the
following code. All it does is cycle through the items in an XML file, then
assign the data to labels, buttons etc. Everything works fine until I try to
assign the URL. Even when I try to trace it out inside the onRelease
function it gives undefined. Is this a flash issue or is there something
here I am missing?
Any help is much appreciated.
CODE
function buildNav():Void {
var dropDownValue:Number = 0;
for (var i:Number = 0; i_root.numberOfItems; i++) {
//attach the nav Item
trace(done iteration +i);
navContainer.attachMovie(navItem, navItem+i, i);
trace(navItem+i+ has been attached);
//position the nav Item
navContainer[navItem+i]._y = dropDownValue;
dropDownValue += 15;
navContainer[navItem+i]._x = navContainer[navItem+i]._x;
//assign the title
navContainer[navItem+i].navItemText =
_root.contentItems[i].navItemText;
//var thisURL = _root.contentItems[i].jobUrl;
navContainer[navItem+i].onRelease = function() {
getURL(_root.contentItems[1].jobUrl, _blank);
trace(_root.contentItems[1].jobUrl);
};
}
}
Cheers,
Craig.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to resolve this issue so that the 2 objects start tweening simultaneously? Any suggestions on an alternate class? I never user SuperEase so I can't comment on it, but you'd do yourself a favor if you started using one of these instead: Fuse Kit http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/ Laco Tween http://laco.wz.cz/tween/ MC Tween http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/ These three have the same approach on most accounts - your preference will depend on what you code and how. Also, you can always use the built-in flash tweening classes. Here's some info on that: http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/Tween-Easing_Classes_Documented/index.shtml http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/tweening.html I wouldn't recommend though, using the extensions above will give you more features and will be easier to code. - Zeh ___ 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
Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
What version of flash are you using? YOu can try delegate to solve scoping
issues but i kinda set it up in two ways as the comments suggest.
Also, avoid references to root if possible.
import mx.util.Delegate;
function buildNav(p_content:Array):Void {
for (var i:Number = 0; inumberOfItems; i++) {
//attach the nav Item
trace(done iteration +i);
var mc:MovieClip= navContainer.attachMovie(navItem, navItem+i,
i);
mc._y =i*15
mc._x = 0
//assign the title
mc.navItemText =p_content[i].navItemText;
// you could do this to correct scope
mc.link=p_content[i].jobURL;
mc.select=Delegate.create(this,onSelect);// this allows you to
pass //params
mc.onRelease=function(){this.select(this.link)}
// or you could do something like :
// mc.onRelease=function(){
getURL(this.link,_blank);
}
}
}
function onSelect(p_url:String){
getURL(p_url,_blank);
}
buildNav(contentItems);// build the nav passing in the data

Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
Try tracing the _root.contentItems[1].jobUrl in the different steps of
the program: when you create it, before you enter the onRelease
defining part, etc. The problem must lie in referencing it.
Note, however, that this code won't work (look at part 1):
http://pastebin.com/732422
You'll need to save the i on the button itself so it can remember
(look at part 2)
