Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
Hi again, Browser differences are browser differences Well, I see your point here, but I think we're not talking about small things like rendering the border 1px bigger. We're talking about a huge amount of problems that just make the use of wmode impossible, IMHO. The Player is the same across environments, but it's the environments themselves which differ, and when we ask the browsers to do more, their results vary more. Ok, fair enough, it seems everything it's up to the browsers. However, users, bosses and even developers don't care about that. What they see is that the application is not working properly. What they see is that Flash is doing weird things _again_. What they see is that they cannot trust Flash. If it's not up to Adobe fixing this, then I change my question to: Is Adobe NOW actively talking with browser manufacturers to solve this? If not (so for Adobe the behaviour of wmode is fine or not so important), please remove it from the player. IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, not even on Win/IE. It's _still_ causing a huge amount of problems to a huge amount of people*. If you're, then at least I'll try to keep my faith. Thanks John for your time and efforts to clarify, once again, what's going on. Cheers, Juan ps: please don't tell me things like if you don't like Flash go and do php or go to Slashdot to meet your geek friends. * The other day in my office wmode was the answer to a design problem. So when they came to me and say: Hey! I've fixed it, we're going to use wmode, look at Adobe's website, we can do it, I thought you were the Flash guy, you should know those things! I had to waste 1 hour telling them that using it will cause problems. Which problems?, they asked. A few. I replied. Ok, which ones?. It depends, you can choose from this list, who knows what's going to happen...

Possibly, but I'd hesitate anyway. I think the Windows Media Player, implemented as an ActiveX Control, also has support for rendering to the browser's compositing buffer via WMODE requests, rather than blasting directly to screen. Just as DHTML cannot layer above SWF unless the SWF is routed to the browser's drawing buffer via WMODE, the WMP would need to go into the browser's buffer to layer anything atop it. But I'd hesitate to do so, though, because drawing video offscreen before transferring it to the video display would give a performance hit, and you'd also likely drop frames from timing differences too... the video codec renders every X milliseconds, the browser refreshes its display every Y milliseconds, and some info would be lost in the middle. Steven Sacks has info on the scrolling issues too. If you must use WMP (for rights-management, eg), then could you keep it drawing directly to screen, and surround the WMP with with four framing SWFs, intercommunicating through LocalConnection? This would be a little more development work, but would make less work for the browser's rendering pipeline. Possible...?

Browser differences are browser differences. When WMODE is changed, then the Player changes the address in memory to which it sends its pixels. Over the past eight years the Player has implemented WMODE requests, we've seen different browsers print upside down, not pass screenreader instructions, do funny things with keyboard entry, when the browser gets in the middle of the rendering pipeline like this. The Player is the same across environments, but it's the environments themselves which differ, and when we ask the browsers to do more, their results vary more.

[Flashcoders] Global sound control ...
I have an interactive demo that consists of one main SWF file that loads in other SWF files depending on what the user clicks on in the main SWFs navigation. Within this main SWF and within all the seperate SWFs are numerous movies each with their own timeline doing it's own thing. In numerous place on timelines throughout this set of SWFs, sound effects have been hardcoded onto their respective timeline (i.e: not loaded dynamically using the sound object). So is there any way to turn off sound globally regardless of where it's located on whatever timeline within whatever SWF. So I can just create an on/off button for the main SWF that will control sound globally ???

[Flashcoders] Class packaging swc
For a project, I made two movieclips that are both linked to an as class in the linkage Identifier box. Now I want to protect my classes so I read an article that explains how to make a compiled clip, a class packager. It all worked well, becuase I tested the .swc in new .fla. The classes are all know when the compiled clip is dragged onto the stage. But using it in my project file, I get a compiling error telling me the classes cannot be loaded. I tried placing the compiled clip on frame 1 and have the classes and set the export frame for classes at 2, with no luck. Does somebody have an idea how to handle this problem?

Re: [Flashcoders] Global sound control ...
Hello Stephen,
you can use stopAllSounds() function
Also sound object in flash always depended from movie clip and for
example volume works like _alpha in movie clips:
my_mc._alpha = 50;
//
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(my_mc);
my_sound.setVolume(50);
both action will set value for all child objects.
it's inherited properties of movieclips
If you need control start and stop of sound and haven't fla files of
external swf you can try to catch calls of sound object using class
like this (AS1 hack):
this.setSoundClass = function() {
delete this.setSoundClass;
var IntrinsicSound = Sound;
var Sound = function (target_mc) {
trace(new Sound(+arguments+));
this.init(target_mc);
};
var tmp = Sound.prototype;
tmp.init = function(target_mc) {
this.__target_mc = target_mc;
this.__in_sound = new IntrinsicSound(target_mc);
};
tmp.attachSound = function(id) {
trace(attachSound(+arguments+));
this.__in_sound.attachSound(id);
};
tmp.start = function(secondOffset, loops) {
trace(start(+arguments+));
this.__in_sound.start(secondOffset, loops);
};
// ... etc
_global.Sound = Sound;
ASSetPropFlags(_global, 'Sound', 7, 1);
};
this.setSoundClass();
// =
var my_sound = new Sound(this);
my_sound.attachSound(my_song);
my_sound.start();
but you can't catch nothing if sound placed on timiline.
and another one way: you can stop sound in movie clip using empty
sound object:
my_sound = new Sound(any_mc)
my_sound.stop()
- its works for start and event sync
a stream sync sound you can stop by this way: any_mc.stop();
good luck!

[Flashcoders] reseting ASSetPropFlags back to default
Hey ppl! I have made some pretty nice printR function ( www.mediaverk.lv/asd/com/jR/Utils.as) it's working pretty well and i'm thinking of new features. One good feature would be to use ASSetPropFlags in order to show private properties and that could be done relatively easy. Thought the problem IMO is that property visibility isnt there just for nothing so making everything visible should be followed by seting object visibility back to default state. I'm pretty sure this is almost impossible but i'd just would like to make it 100% sure that someone havent found a way.

[Flashcoders] private member accessible with init object of attachMovie
Hello,
the answer to my question would probably not change my workflow, but I
want to know this:
When using the attachMovie method, it is possible to set values of
member variables. These values are set before the constructor is
executed.
Why that?
And furthermore:
Even private member variables can set this way and even the
constructor can be private. And why that?
Is there a special explanation or something obvious I missed?
For example:
initObject:Object = {_x: 20, _myPrivateVar: Hello World!};
this.attachMovie(MyExample.SymbolName, myExample,
this.getNextHighestDepth(), initObject);
class MyExample extends MovieClip
{
public static var SymbolName:String =
__Packages.com.relounge.cme.MyExample;
public static var SymbolOwner:Function = MyExample;
public static var SymbolLinked =
Object.registerClass(SymbolName,SymbolOwner);
private var _myPrivateVar:String;
private function MyExample()
{
trace(this._myPrivateVar); // traces the Hello World!
}
}
Thank you,
Matthias

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
Hi Jason, I'd pretty much echo Ramon - doesn't sound like a good case for cacheAsBitmap. To give a slightly more concrete cacheAsBitmap example... We have a Flash-driven flip book that can (potentially) show any Flash movie on any page. Flipping the pages is a quite animation-intensive process. If the Flash movie contained in the page is lots of vectors (even if it's a still image), the page-flipping process crawls. If, however, we turn on cacheAsBitmap on the contained movie before doing the page flip, Flash only has to update one bitmap for that movie (rather than repeatedly redrawing all the vectors). Then we turn back off cacheAsBitmap once the page flip is complete. It's these sort of places that cacheAsBitmap makes a difference in. In your case, if you were scrolling around Flash vector movies rather than images, it'd make more sense. But from experimentation, scrolling a bitmap image contained in a MovieClip is pretty much the same whether cacheAsBitmap is turned on or turned off.

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
With BitmapData, you can build a BitmapData of your picture, for exemple 1000x600 witch will stay in memory, and will not be displayed. After that, you create another BitmapData witch is only 500x300 for exemple, the size you need for display. Then you draw the first BitmapData in the second with the draw() method, according to a geom.matrix witch describe the translation you need for scroll, and also the zoom. Doing this, your scroll and zoom will be faster. Remember that the cacheAsBitmap property is true by default. May be there isn't difference in you're test because you didn't try to define cacheAsBitmap as false (and only compare default and true, witch is the same thing). I went to your site. It seem's that when we zoom in a picture, this picture is first reduced like 20% and when you zoom, you increase to 100% with a mask. Am'I wrong? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not realy increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much better using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() method. always sorry for my english David Buff - Original Message - From: Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 1:36 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice Hi - thank you to both Ian and Ramon.

Re: [Flashcoders] private member accessible with init object ofattachMovie
- Original Message - From: Matthias Dittgen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, the answer to my question would probably not change my workflow, but I want to know this: When using the attachMovie method, it is possible to set values of member variables. These values are set before the constructor is executed. Why that? The set variable value can be used immeditaly in the initializing process, so will be drawn faster. So the component will be drawn with the 'new value', rather than with a 'default value' and then redrawn with the 'new value'. Might not be a biggy if the variable doesn't have a huge inpact on the component, but if that particular variable value affects the layout (so the whole component needs to be redrawn) it does. And furthermore: Even private member variables can set this way and even the constructor can be private. And why that? Is there a special explanation or something obvious I missed? I have to guess here really.. attachMovie is a MovieClip method, which is a dynamic class. regards, Muzak ___ 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

What's more - if you were using a straight OOP class for your
MovieClips (like AS3 does), you could have a constructor that took
parameters e.g.
var button:Button=new Button('label');
But you can't do that in AS2 because of the way MovieClips/Components
are created (attachMovie instead of new()) so you need some way of
passing initialisation variables. The method Macrodobe came up with is
to pass the initialisation variables as an object argument to
attachMovie(). It's a workaround because of the need to rely on
attachMovie(). And happily, it's gone in AS3.
And furthermore:
Even private member variables can set this way and even the
constructor can be private. And why that?
Is there a special explanation or something obvious I missed?
I have to guess here really.. attachMovie is a MovieClip method, which is a
dynamic class.
I'd imagine it's because the assignment of the variables actually
happens at runtime, and because AS2 compiles down to the same bytecode
as AS1, the runtime engine doesn't actually _know_ whether properties
are public or private (in AS2 as opposed to AS3, public and private
are only meaningful at _compile_ time).
So it just looks through the initialisation object (as if you were
doing a for... in... ), and sets variables on the new clip - it
doesn't know anything about access permissions.

RE: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
Wow! Lot's to look into. I never considered using BitmapData for this at all. I will need to investigate. Thanks! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Buff Sent: 11 October 2006 13:29 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice With BitmapData, you can build a BitmapData of your picture, for exemple 1000x600 witch will stay in memory, and will not be displayed. After that, you create another BitmapData witch is only 500x300 for exemple, the size you need for display. Then you draw the first BitmapData in the second with the draw() method, according to a geom.matrix witch describe the translation you need for scroll, and also the zoom. Doing this, your scroll and zoom will be faster. Remember that the cacheAsBitmap property is true by default. May be there isn't difference in you're test because you didn't try to define cacheAsBitmap as false (and only compare default and true, witch is the same thing). I went to your site. It seem's that when we zoom in a picture, this picture is first reduced like 20% and when you zoom, you increase to 100% with a mask. Am'I wrong? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not realy increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much better using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() method. always sorry for my english David Buff - Original Message - From: Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 1:36 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice Hi - thank you to both Ian and Ramon.

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
I've posted this before, but it may help you: http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163 As you can see in that post, if you do any scaling or rotation to a cachedAsBitmap MovieClip, it temporarily becomes a vector again, just to update itself. That class can force a movieclip to stay as a bitmap, even if you make it super big. Of course, it'll get blurry if it's too big. Key is to taking a snapshot of what you want at the biggest size it'll be, or updating the bitmap data when it's at it's biggest size.

I've had the same thing - it seems .fla files can get corrupted. Try doing a Save As (which re-writes your .fla) and also clearing your ASO cache.

[Flashcoders] C++ flash host supporting transparency
Hey, I'm building a C++ app to run on Windows (then maybe on Mac and X) that will host SWFs. On Windows I'm using the Flash activeX control to host my Flash app. I'd like to render the Flash viewport/window onto my application's surface with transparency such that only the content on the stage is drawn to my window. Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container like mine? How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support it)? Does Flash tell the host the key color being used for transparency? I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with non-rectangular transparency. But, I'm not sure how as a host container the Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me. Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates to the browser to assist with this process? What if that same color is used in the content of your movie/content within your SWF? Do the browsers render those pixels transparently as well? Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed some light for me. Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF host application that runs on Windows and Mac? I need to port my app (and am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32 would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right). Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps? Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts? What wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating containers on OSX? Thanks for ANY input :) I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens for starters... Where is the definitive internals book on the Flash runtime engine? Does one exist?

[Flashcoders] Re: ObjectCopy works in Flash/swf but in Zinc it dies?!?
Replying to myeslf, but here's the weirdness; it's not ObjectCopy - my
variable dies.
Here's a part of the code that works in .swf but not in Zinc; debug is a
global method I'm using to either output to the output window or popup an
input box if in zinc:
debug(total screens: + gApp.screens.length);
tX = new String();
for (i=0; igApp.screens.length; i++) {
debug(checking : + i);
tTop = new String();
debug(after tTop i : + i);
debug(testing gApp.screens[+ i + ]);
dumpIt(gApp.screens[i]);
Now the thing is after the 'for i=0...'
the first debug 'checking' outputs 0
then after I do tTop = new String()
when I do 'after tTop i' i comes back UNDEFINED!

Re: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay
To see if something in the movie is corrupted, try turning content layers into guides, either all at once or one at a time, and you may be able to narrow down where the problem is. You can also try pasting all frames into a new movie.

We were requested to add Accessibility to a completed Flash piece at the last minute and I¹m banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to do something that seems relatively simple. I have roughly 60 thumbnails of images that have buttons associated with them. The buttons bring up a large version of the image with a caption underneath. The client would like the caption to be read on rollover so someone with a screenreader can mouse over or tab between them. I used the accessibility panel to associate each button with it¹s caption, but that doesn¹t seem to work. What am I missing?

[Flashcoders] Re: zinc kills a variable with a new String()?
Of course, the var i fixed it (in the 'for') -- but I don't get why it
blewup; I've noticed this elsewhere too today.
Say I had a function that calls a subfunction, ie
mainStuff = function(){
for(i=0; itheList.length; i++){
ret = subStuff(tList[i]);
}
}
subStuff = function(which){
for(i=0; iwhich.length; i++){
//whatever
}
}
I noticed that 'i' would get shared across the instances, that it wouldn't
work. ie it would work in mainstuff, bounce to subStuff which would iterate
more, get mainStuff confused, etc.
This is in direct violation to what the local var should be, no? I mean,
I've never experienced that before.

RE: [Flashcoders] Center align a multiline textfield?
It's becuase you have wordWrap set to true. Here's a quick and dirty example
- try setting back to true to see the difference.
this.createTextField('subhead', 20, 1, 435, 434, 200);
with (this.subhead) {
selectable = true;
wordWrap = false;
multiline = true;
autoSize = 'center';
border = true;
}
var sMyString:String = This is my textfield string, la, la la, la la, and
it is centred, la, la la, la la;
var nCharNum:Number = 0;
function fMakeString(mcScope_psd, fltText_psd) {
trace(mcScope_psd);
mcScope_psd[fltText_psd].text +=
mcScope_psd.sMyString.charAt(mcScope_psd.nCharNum++);
if (mcScope_psd.nCharNum == mcScope_psd.sMyString.length) {
clearInterval(mcScope_psd.iMakeText);
}
}
iMakeText = setInterval(fMakeString, 50, this, subhead);

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: zinc kills a variable with a new String()?
that's because 'i' isn't local to the function but lives in the 'timeline' the
function is defined in.
Define them inside the function using var.
It's also a good thing to do the same for the 'condition', because the length
might change during the loop process, which may mess
up the loop as well.
function mainStuff() {
var i:Number = 0;
var len:Number = theList.length;
for (i=0; ilen; i++) {
ret = subStuff(tList[i]);
}
}
function subStuff(which:Array) {
var i:Number = 0;
var len:Number = which.length;
for (i=0; ilen; i++) {
//whatever
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Re: zinc kills a variable with a new String()?
Of course, the var i fixed it (in the 'for') -- but I don't get why it
blewup; I've noticed this elsewhere too today.
Say I had a function that calls a subfunction, ie
mainStuff = function(){
for(i=0; itheList.length; i++){
ret = subStuff(tList[i]);
}
}
subStuff = function(which){
for(i=0; iwhich.length; i++){
//whatever
}
}
I noticed that 'i' would get shared across the instances, that it wouldn't
work. ie it would work in mainstuff, bounce to subStuff which would iterate
more, get mainStuff confused, etc.
This is in direct violation to what the local var should be, no? I mean,
I've never experienced that before.

Re: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay
With the risk of starting a rant, Adobe should really fix shared libs... These seem to be totally useless in a real life environment... The idea is great but how do you explain that a simple graphic loaded with no actions whatsoever can cause my script to stop working...? We started this project with a shared lib for our fonts and graphics and now that we come across this problem, will have to kick out the shared lib. We already kicked out the shared fonts 'cause those just didn't work at all. I should add that the designer in this project is on a PC and that I, the developer in this project, work on a Mac. But really... This shouldn't matter... right?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
Ok, fair enough, it seems everything it's up to the browsers. However, users, bosses and even developers don't care about that. What they see is that the application is not working properly. What they see is that Flash is doing weird things _again_. What they see is that they cannot trust Flash. The only thing I can suggest is to try to find another job. Working at a technology company where the people in charge are ignorant when it comes to technology is a recipe for an unhappy life. It sounds like you don't have a project manager there who has any familiarity with web development (or any project manager at all?). Flash is, for all intensive purposes, on all of your end users' machines. Flash has become the only choice for streaming video delivery on the web. These aren't the days of Flash intros anymore. If your bosses don't trust Flash, I wouldn't trust them to provide an environment that will enrich your career. They're on the wrong side of the bell curve and you owe it to yourself as a professional to get yourself back on the other side. There are tons of great jobs out there right now for talented Flash developers. Don't settle for working for someone who doesn't trust the technology you are investing your time and energy into. ___ 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] Logging Flash-Internal User Access?
It's actually pretty straightforward and easy. Here's a quick way to track page impressions with no back-end code whatsoever. Create empty (0 bytes) .txt (or .html) files and put them in a folder on the server. Have Flash loadVars the txt files and append a noCache argument with the date in milliseconds so it doesn't cache. So, your file URL would look something like this: tUrl = tracking/page1.txt?noCache= + new Date().getTime(); Just loadVars a file every time they load in a different page. They'll be able to check their weblogs to see traffic. If they want something more like session data and such, then you'll have to write a back-end to support it.

[Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?
Hi all,
I downloaded a piece of filter tweening code, modified it (added loop around
it) to tween mutiple clips on stage with the name (kText0, kText1, etc.) and
for some reason it only tweens the last clip.
After some debugging I found out where the problem lies. But when I compiled
the code in my head, everything seemed fine (probably have a buggy brain). Can
you spot what the problem is from the code below? How would you fix it?
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
for (var i = 0; i 5; ++i)
{
var mc = this[kText + i];
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false, false);
var gfBX:Tween = new Tween(gf, blurX, Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
var gfBY:Tween = new Tween(gf, blurY, Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
mc.onRollOver = function() {
gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
gfBY.continueTo(30, 2);
};
mc.onRollOut = function() {
gfBX.continueTo(5, 2);
gfBY.continueTo(5, 2);
};
gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() {
mc.filters = [gf];
};
}

On Windows I'm using the Flash activeX control to host my Flash app. I'd like to render the Flash viewport/window onto my application's surface with transparency such that only the content on the stage is drawn to my window. Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container like mine? How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support it)? Does Flash tell the host the key color being used for transparency? I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with non-rectangular transparency. But, I'm not sure how as a host container the Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me. Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates to the browser to assist with this process? What if that same color is used in the content of your movie/content within your SWF? Do the browsers render those pixels transparently as well? Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed some light for me. Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF host application that runs on Windows and Mac? I need to port my app (and am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32 would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right). Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps? Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts? What wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating containers on OSX? Thanks for ANY input :) I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens for starters...

RE: [Flashcoders] IE doesn't seem to want to recognize FlashVars
It seems to work when I pass the Flashvars directly to the swf : http://www.iconicweb.com/home3.swf?page=PortfoliosubPage=toyotaEPNS But not through the html page. I believe that your problem is in the Javascript. You should try and debug that first do some alerts in your scripts to check your variables, etc ...

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Now if someone points out a problem with Flash, then is an ignorant. Who do you think you are talking about people you don't know with such an arrogance? Don't use wmode. It's that simple. You can complain about it until you're blue in the face and it won't do any good. The fact is that wmode is inconsistent across browsers and platforms, and I doubt it's ever going to be fixed so you need to alter your approach. You want to see frustration? Hang out with some senior level web developers for awhile. I don't understand how they stay sane with all the hacking they have to do. Web Developers are forced to contend with a broken compiler that is used by 90% of the public (Internet Explorer) which tries to fix their code for them at runtime (making debugging difficult), and have to code against three or more different compilers (Firefox, Safari, Opera) that all compile their code differently from one another. CSS, a widely used technology, is, in some ways, borderline broken in IE6 and only after about five years is Microsoft doing anything about it with IE7. Best of luck in your endeavor to get Adobe to fix an edge case issue with an extremely rarely used feature that has inconsistent behavior across browsers due to browsers being inconsistent. Your energy is better spent explaining to your bosses the realities of web development. I hate web development.

Re: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?
Actually the function will remember what the temp variable points to even after
everything goes out of scope through the so-called closure. So change is scope
is not necessary for this teaser's fix.

You've got a scope issue. The movieclip has no idea what gfBX or gfBY
is on rollover because they are just temporary variables in your
iterator and once your iterator is done they're gone and the movieclip
has no reference to them. You need to assign gfBX and gfBY to the
movieclip so it knows what they are.
mc.gfBX = gfBX;
mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
};
Follow?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
Hi again, I'm just trying to get an answer from Adobe about the problem, nothing more, nothing less. And if the answers is: hey dude, this is not going to work properly, ever, then please just completely remove wmode. It is getting people mad. Then, I don't care (well, I care, but that's not the point now) about the problems of developing cross-platform standars-compliant HTML websites.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
Steven, I hate web development. That's why I do Flash development. Although highly subjective, I can't agree with you enough. The points you make capture my exact reasoning! However, I would argue that Flash has a great share of its own problems, but at least you're only dealing with one compiler / VM!

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
then please just completely remove wmode. Not everyone has to develop cross-platform websites becauase they have specific target audiences that only use certain browsers and can thus make good use of wmode. I think what's needed is better documentation/disclaimers rather than throwing it out completely.

Hi all,
I downloaded a piece of filter tweening code, modified it (added loop around
it) to tween mutiple clips on stage with the name (kText0, kText1, etc.) and
for some reason it only tweens the last clip.
After some debugging I found out where the problem lies. But when I
compiled the code in my head, everything seemed fine (probably have a buggy
brain). Can you spot what the problem is from the code below? How would
you fix it?

RE: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?
Why are you creating a reference to this inside the onRollOver method?
mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
};
There's no purpose behind a temporary reference variable to this.
