Re: [Flashcoders] Entering hex number (a color) as component parameter
As Johanness already mentioned, __hasInitialized is used to check if the
instance has initialized.
This is to avoid unnecessary method calls from the setter, as the setter is
called before the constructor.
Without the check, set bgColor would call SetBgColor before anything else.

Muzak

Thank you and sorry - I've missed the Color type in Flash help.
But what is the role of __hasInitialized in your example? Why can't I just:
[Inspectable(defaultValue=#66,type=Color)]
public function get bgcolor():Number {
return __bgcolor;
}
public function set bgcolor(val:Number):Void {
__bgcolor = val;
invalidate();
}
(full source code in Bubble.* files @ http://preferans.de/flash/ )?

You might be better off using a getter/setter since you will have to redraw
the rect_mc each time the color changes.
private var rect_mc:MovieClip;
private var __bgColor:Number = 0x66;
private var __hasInitialized:Boolean = false;
private function draw() {
setBgColor();
__hasInitialized = true;
}
private function setBgColor():Void {
// draw stuff, using __bgColor
rect_mc.clear();
rect_mc.beginFill(__bgColor);
// etc..
rect_mc.endFill();
}
[Inspectable(defaultValue=#66,type=Color)]
public function get bgColor():Number {
return __bgColor;
}
public function set bgColor(val:Number):Void {
__bgColor = val;
if(__hasInitialized) setBgColor();
}

[Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input text field
I have a really weird bug going on in a game I am making. Game is developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2) My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last day and a half tracking down the cause. I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this stage and I have to force quit Flash. If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not cause it to crash. I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a second time. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.

[Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference
Slightly complicated and not terribly important but annoying:
It's possible for a class to compile while self-referring:
class Clarss {
var pParent:Clarss;
function Clarss(tParent:Clarss) {
if (tParent != undefined) {
pParent = tParent;
}
}
}
This compiles fine. But with inheritance this no longer works:
class Clarss {
var pRoot:Clarss2
function Clarss() {
}
}
class Clarss2 extends Clarss {
function Clarss2() {
}
}
Now the compiler gets confused by the circular reference and tells me
**Error** C:\...Clarss.as: Line 1: The name of this class, 'Clarss',
conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'Clarss'.
It's a shame: My object structure has a bunch of objects in a tree
structure, all of which inherit the same base class. I'd like them all to
have a reference to the top-level node object, but I have to refer to it as
an Object instead of its actual class name because otherwise it can't
compile.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to run an external exe file
En/na Steve Abaffy ha escrit: I tried loading the swf file as well and loads ok, except that the second swf file needs to look at a folder and load a bunch of jpg, and other data. I have looked at the data being loaded and it is all there, however the pictures do not load that data does not put into the dynamic text fields. But when I run the second swf file as a stand alone file it works perfect. When you load one swf into another the path to any external files needs to be calculated from the parent swf. If swf2 is in a different folder than swf1, and you load swf2 into swf1, then the path to any files you want to load into the embedded swf2 needs to be calculated from the folder which contains swf1.

to know the type of its subclasses is not good practice. Why not keep the

[Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Getting my feet wet with AS3, I just bought the AS3 cookbook and have
learned a lot already - great book. I feel like an idiot asking this as
I'm pretty good in AS2, but with AS3, I'm not getting a simple script
working. I have the Flash 9 AS3 preview, trying to write a simple
HelloWorld class (based on an example in the book) to show a TextField:
//MyPackage.as
package MyPackage
{
//do I actually need this one?:
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
var message_txt:TextField = new TextField();
message_txt.text = Hello World;
addChild(message_txt); //does not show!
trace(constructor runs)//traces fine
}
}
}
Then in the .fla, I put:
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
The constructor traces fine in the output window, but the TextField does
not show. What have I done wrong? My Export settings in F9 As3 preview
are for AS 3.0 and FP9. In later scripts, I tried moving the textfield,
changing the color, changing the stage color to be sure it wasn't
matching the textfield and this invisible, etc...(but it should show as
black Times New Roman text by default anyway...)
Thanks,
Oh, and as a side note, I use FlashDevelop 2.0.1 and have my syntax set
to AS3, but have notices code hinting doesn't always work or is
sometimes incomplete - has anyone else noticed that? Maybe I just need
to update it.

Hello list !
I noticed something weird about EventDispatcher execution speed in my
mac player.
EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent execution is slow compared to a custom
dispatcher implementation (named EventBroadcaster).
On Mac, EventDispatcher is slow:
EventBroadcaster: 2925
EventDispatcher: 12438
On Pc, EventDispatcher is faster.
EventBroadcaster: 3908
EventDispatcher: 3407
Can you please report the values you got (displayed on screen) when
you open the url below and the browser you used for testing.
It takes few seconds to initialize (bench with iterations)

You are mixing Classes and Instances. Classes inherit properties and
methods from other classes.
How the instances are linked together at execution time is another matter.
Read some Actionscript books and if you want to do something this
sophisticated read the design pattern book.
What you want to do is pretty easy if you design it right.
This is a very simple ActionScript application once you get your head
around the tools.
Actionscript and Java are pretty similar so you can read some books on
designing with Java if you can not get one of the ActionScript books.
Which books have you read. Perhaps other in the forum can comment on
those books and suggest books that they found helpful.
Are you defining each class in its own .as file?

[Flashcoders] File works in Flash 9 player but not in 8
Here's a really weird one: I created a Flash 8 swf -- using
Actionscript 2.0 -- compiled it as a Flash 8 swf, but it doesn't work
in the Flash 8 player. It does, however, work in the Flash 9 player.
The file loads data in from multiple xml files. It actually works
fine, even in Flash 8, if I only try to load from nine xml files, but
as-soon-as I ad a tenth file, it stops working. By stops working, I
mean that when the swf runs, I only see the Stage background.
This same swf (without being changed in any way or recompiled) works
fine in the Flash 9 player.
The 8 player doesn't seem to be balking at the amount of xml, because
if I cut the code from the tenth xml file and paste it into the 9th
file, everything works fine. It just seems to choke on ten files.
//works in Flash player 8 and 9
var strXmlPath:String =
file1.xml,flie2.xml,file3.xml,file4.xml,file5.xml,file6.xml,file7.xml,file8.xml,file9.xml;
//works only in Flash player 9
//var strXmlPath:String =
file1.xml,flie2.xml,file3.xml,file4.xml,file5.xml,file6.xml,file7.xml,file8.xml,file9.xml,file10.xml;
var xml:XML = new XML();
var arrXmlPaths:Array = new Array();
var arrXmlLoaders:Array = new Array();
var numXmlFilesLoaded:Number = 0;
function parseXML(str:String):Void
{
var xml:XML = new XML();
var strXml:String;
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
arrXmlPaths = str.split(,); //get list of xml files
for (var i:Number = 0; i arrXmlPaths.length; i++)
{
strXml = arrXmlPaths[i];
arrXmlLoaders[i] = new XML();
arrXmlLoaders[i].ignoreWhite = true;
arrXmlLoaders[i].onLoad = xmlFileDoneLoading;
arrXmlLoaders[i].load(strXml);
}
}
function xmlFileDoneLoading():Void
{
numXmlFilesLoaded++;
divideXmlIntoArrays(this);
//have all the xml files loaded?
if (numXmlFilesLoaded == arrXmlPaths.length)
{
parseMediaArray();

RE: [Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference
Hi Danny,
Maybe make it a
public var pParent:Clarss;
or if you don't want your var to be accessed directly outside the class
(best practice)
class Clarss {
private var _pParent:Clarss;
function Clarss(tParent:Clarss) {
pParent = (tParent != undefined) ? tParent : this;
}
public function get pParent():Clarss {
return _pParent;
}
public function set pParent(value:Clarss):Void {
_pParent = value;
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Anyone had this problem?
first set the TextField to scrollable. Select the TextField and on the menu
click text and scrollable.
If this wont work than try loading a picture and not an swf.. See if it
works, if not than you'll have to create a costum scroller that, in this
case scrolls a movieClip and not text, as in, I think, scroll, is used only
for text inside fields...but i am not sure..
try and let me know..
Good luck

Re: [Flashcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please
Someone already mentioned what it is - the for in loop vs the straight for loop. for (var i in array) ends up pushing all the keys of the array on the stack, and then popping those off. for (var i =0; i array.length; i++) doesn't. The test attaches 500 listeners to each dispatcher, so when you use the for (var i in array), you're pushing quite a few items on the stack, and it's possible that the mac flash player has slower stack access, or that that particular opcode is significantly slower. Note - the eventdispatcher code uses the for (var i in array) explicitly so that if a listener is removed from the array while dispatching an event that it still dispatches to all listeners. Be careful if you try to just change the loop. Also, why would you have 500 listeners to one broadcaster? The vast majority of the UI code that I've dealt with has 0-2 listeners. The difference between the two might be a lot smaller in that case. --Brian On 3/22/07, Cedric Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: interestingly, NO single FLASHCODER can say what it is about... meaning, we all lack of understanding of our environnement :P have a nice day all of you who doesn't understand what is going on with the EventDispatcher class ... a true study case this one ... a true!

class Clarss2 extends Clarss {
function Clarss2() {
}
}
looks like a design error to me. One of the reasons you would
use inheritance is polymorphism, and reducing complexity. A
super class having to know the type of its subclasses is not
good practice. Why not keep the reference pRoot:Clarss? You
can stick any subclass in there.
It depends on the circumstances. My main reason for using inheritance is
code reuse: putting common code into ancestors. In my case, I'm not writing
objects for reuse elsewhere. So it seems pretty reasonable to me that all my
objects know about all the other objects. Here's a simplified example of the
structure I'm trying to create:
RootElement extends Element
SimpleBlock extends BlockElement extends Element
TextItem extends ItemElement extends Element
the Element object has a pChildren:Array (empty for items) and
pParent:Element (undefined for Root) property, creating a tree structure.
Each element also has a direct reference pRoot:RootElement to the tree root
(this is the bit that doesn't work).
I think this makes good sense. I could shore it up by adding an additional
layer:
RootElement extends Element
SimpleBlock extends BlockElement extends ChildElement extends Element
TextItem extends ItemElement extends ChildElement extends Element
Here, ChildElement is the one that has the pRoot property, eliminating the
circular reference. But it seems a bit silly to have to add an empty class
just for the sake of a single property.

[Flashcoders] createClassObject(OwnComponent) displays nothing on stage
Hello,
I have written my own component (please see Bubble.*
in http://preferans.de/flash/ ) which works ok - but only
if I pull its instance onto the stage manually.
If I try to instantiate it during runtime with -
bubble_mc = createClassObject(Bubble,
'bubble_mc', 10, { _width: 80, _x: 20, _y: 20 } );
trace(bubble_mc + ': ' + bubble_mc.bgcolor);
then nothing is visible on the stage and trace() prints:
null: undefined
I've searched numerous web pages, can't find what is
wrong here. Any hints please?
And my actual problem is that I have 2 own components:
I want to display that comics-like Bubble chat component
inside (on top of) another own component representing a player
( please see User.* in http://preferans.de/flash/ and click
the cards list on the right to update the text in bubble_mc )
private function createChildren():Void {
...
createClassObject(Loader, 'avatar_ldr', depth++, {contentPath:
'Unknown'});
createClassObject(Bubble, 'bubble_mc', depth++, {bgcolor:
0xFF});
}
The problem is that while bubble_mc is displayed,
it isn't drawn correctly. I see the text, but the background
color isn't solid. I can't find why is this happening.
Adding an explicit bubble_mc.draw() inside the player component:
private function draw():Void {
super.draw();
bubble_mc.draw();
}
doesn't help. Any suggestions are very welcome
Regards
Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input text field
Hi, there's no code to work with here, but i would guess it's a recursive/infinite loop problem. Are there any handlers hooked up to that particular text field? On 3/22/07, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a really weird bug going on in a game I am making. Game is developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2) My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last day and a half tracking down the cause. I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this stage and I have to force quit Flash. If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not cause it to crash. I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a second time. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Hey off the top of my head, I think I see the problem.
So, you add the text field child to the HelloWorld Sprite. Adding the
child in the hello world sprite, does not add it to the stage. When you
use add child alone, you have to pretend it's this.addChild. If you
chose to import flash.display.Stage and do Stage.addChild(message_txt)
you'd see it. What you did is add the field to just the sprite. But
where's the sprite? It's nowhere still.
In the fla, I'd bet if you put
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
addChild(hw);
it might just work!

RE: [Flashcoders] High CPU usage problems
Hi Carl, I understand the problem. Can be a real pain in the *ss to figure it out. Especially because so many things can cause the problem. You should double check you actually do clear your intervals + enterframes, but in my experience, the thing that kills the cpu the most is the effort flash has to put in redrawing your screen. So double (triple) check you are actually removing all non-visible elemelents. If e.g. you keep attaching/creating a couple of animating clips with some content and forget to remove them, it will definitely kill the cpu sooner or later. (especialy images which are almost always dynamically created/loaded seem to be a good place to look in general).

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Hi,
In your fla add:
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
//You need to add the Child to the Stage
addChild(hw);
Other way to do it is set as 'Main Class 'of the fla file Helloworld.as, you
can do it in Publish settings in ActionScript option (the same where you set
the source paths).

I don't need a text that goes into basic programming techniques, rather I am looking for something that is a good desktop source for the specifics of PHP (versus ECMA/JavaScript) and the additional functions/methods/properties/classes that PHP brings.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 textfields in a Flash 7 SWF
Actually, Flash Player 7 can play Flash 8 swfs. Textfields with Flash 8 featuers (like advanced anti-aliasing) will just not render. Make sure you have no Flash 8 features applied to your textfield, or the movieclip containing it, and it will render as it should. I'm not sure why it was mentioned that System.capabilities.version would be unreliable, but in case that it really is, you can use swfObject to determine the player type. The javascript: var a = deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion(); var pVer = escape(String([a.major, a.minor, a.rev])); You can then pass pVer to your swf via FlashVars or SetVariable(). Personally though, I would publish 2 versions of the website, one Flash 7 SWF and one Flash 8 SWF. www.pierinc.com On 3/21/07, Mick G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can use: trace(System.capabilities.version); to find the player version, then if it's 7, do a loadMovie to load your v8 SWF.

RE: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Hey Jason,
If I remember correctly, I believe you also have to attach your HelloWorld
class to the stage (or was it display list?) via addChild. Instantiating it
via the constructor will only create it in memory and not automatically
attach to the display. I don't have the exact syntax, but I'm sure you can
search around on LiveDocs and get the answer you need.

[Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?
Anyone have any experience in this area? We're developing a Flash site for a new client, who keeps all their own web servers in-house. They are MS house using .net and such. They are setting up a new server just for their new site, and since they are not familiar with PHP or MySQL (which is what we develop with) they are asking us to install them. They will give us remote access to the server... How hard / not-hard is it to install PHP and MySQL on a remote server? Anything to be weary of?

UITextField and extending components (and some other components) in the Flex

Re: [Flashcoders] High CPU usage problems
If you are doing a lot of createEmptyMovieClip() and attachMovie(), then make sure that those movieclips are getting removed when you are done with them. If you are fading those clips away, but never removing them from the stage with removeMovieClip() (*not* delete), CPU performance will surely suffer as the number of invisible movieclips increases. Also double-check to see if your intervals are actually getting cleared. If you are using intervals to do multiple tweens, make sure that they ALL get cleared. Also beware of intervals declared in loops because if you are not careful, you can overwrite an interval with a new one. This leaves the previous one uncleared and unaccessible as well. -- andy makely On 3/22/07, Carl Welch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I programmed the Portfolio Section.

Re: [Flashcoders] QT in IE returning null value to flash
Hm. I haven't used ExternalInterface at al (I'm stuck with Flash 7),
so I'm not really sure what the problem could be. Though you might be
able to do it as a callback (have the javascript function call some
function in your Flash movie to give it the value). The control flow
for that would be a bit odd, but it might work if you can't get it to
return correctly.

RE: [Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference
Danny Kodicek wrote: It's a shame: My object structure has a bunch of objects in a tree structure, all of which inherit the same base class. I'd like them all to have a reference to the top-level node object, but I have to refer to it as an Object instead of its actual class name because otherwise it can't compile. You are mixing Classes and Instances. Classes inherit properties and methods from other classes. How the instances are linked together at execution time is another matter. Well, not really. I may use the words 'class' and 'object' interchangeably on occasion, but I'm quite aware of the distinction. Classes have properties, instances give those properties values, classes define the kinds of data those values can take. I don't think my example is that odd, really. It seems unnecessarily restrictive not to be able to refer to a superclass within a subclass - that's enforcing an arbitrary design principle.

[Flashcoders] ActionScript3, Socket, readObject
I'm using ActionScript3 in Flash 9 alpha... I've got a great Socket
setup working, but when the network traffic gets high, TCP's nature is
to combine and/or break up packets... The problem with this is that the
incoming data event gets fired before a complete object has
transmitted...
I see no way to know if the entire object has arrived yet; so to find
out, I just try. If the object isn't all there yet, it throws an error
and I bail until more data comes in. The problem is, even when
readObject fails, it trashes the data. (evidenced by the trace). Any
ideas on how to fix this?
Here's the code:
function newSocketData() {
var result;
while(1) {
var bufsize:Number = sock.bytesAvailable;
try {
result = sock.readObject();
} catch (e:EOFError) {
trace(Data before: + bufsize + -- Now: +
sock.bytesAvailable);
return;
}
handleObject(result);
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] createClassObject(OwnComponent) displays nothing on
stage
Hello,
I have written my own component (please see Bubble.*
in http://preferans.de/flash/ ) which works ok - but only
if I pull its instance onto the stage manually.
If I try to instantiate it during runtime with -
bubble_mc = createClassObject(Bubble,
'bubble_mc', 10, { _width: 80, _x: 20, _y: 20 } );
trace(bubble_mc + ': ' + bubble_mc.bgcolor);
then nothing is visible on the stage and trace() prints:
null: undefined
I've searched numerous web pages, can't find what is
wrong here. Any hints please?
And my actual problem is that I have 2 own components:
I want to display that comics-like Bubble chat component
inside (on top of) another own component representing a player
( please see User.* in http://preferans.de/flash/ and click
the cards list on the right to update the text in bubble_mc )
private function createChildren():Void {
...
createClassObject(Loader, 'avatar_ldr', depth++,
{contentPath: 'Unknown'});
createClassObject(Bubble, 'bubble_mc', depth++, {bgcolor:
0xFF});
}
The problem is that while bubble_mc is displayed,
it isn't drawn correctly. I see the text, but the background
color isn't solid. I can't find why is this happening.
Adding an explicit bubble_mc.draw() inside the player component:
private function draw():Void {
super.draw();
bubble_mc.draw();
}
doesn't help. Any suggestions are very welcome

Alex

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input textfield
I am really struggling to get to the bottom of this bug and I have now spent over 2 days desparately trying everything including recreating the entire game in a new flash file in case anything was corrupt. Basically the game crashes if I type into a text input field. If I do not then it doesn't. I cannot fathom what would be carried forward to the actual game from this simple action. The text input field isn't even on screen anymore when the game is in play. Does the act of typing into a text input field change anything that could affect my game? Really frustrating as I need to be able to allow the user to enter their name. Anyone Thanks Paul -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Steven Sent: 22 March 2007 11:41 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input textfield I have a really weird bug going on in a game I am making. Game is developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2) My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last day and a half tracking down the cause. I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this stage and I have to force quit Flash. If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not cause it to crash. I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a second time. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.

RE: [Flashcoders] Got milk? (the game)

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Try adding this to your fla
addChild(hw);
In your HelloWorld class you've added your textField inside but since you
have added you HelloWorld() object to the display list of the movie it
will never get drawn.
I have a question back at you along this example. I'm running on windows
and if I set up my project that I have
my.fla
[MyPackage]
MyPackage.as (with the HelloWorld class)
using the code in the fla I never get HelloWorld to properly initiate.
Instead I get an error
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1 : Line 2, Column 8 :
[Compiler] Error #1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time
constant: HelloWorld.
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
if I change the name of the .as file to
HelloWorld.as
then all works fine
any insights why yours can run as MyPackage.as?

[Flashcoders] Enhancing the Flash Cursor
I am building a photo slideshow and I want to add a next/back button to
the mouse cursor. If the mouse is on the right half of the screen, it
displays a right arrow (indicating that onclick, it will load the next
photo). When on the left half, it displays a left arrow (onclick loads
the previous photo).
My question is this: is there a better way to do this than using
onMouseMove and onMouseDown event handlers? My code is below. Adding
these event handlers is making my SWF eat up 20% more of the CPU
resources. Is there a less processor intensive method of achieving this?
A Group94 site seems to do a good job of this without hogging CPU
cycles: http://www.schierke.com/home.php?p=
// w=screenWidth
onMouseMove=function() {
arrowL._x=_xmouse-14;
arrowL._y=_ymouse+4;
arrowR._x=_xmouse+14;
arrowR._y=_ymouse+4;
if (_xmousew/2) {arrowL._visible=true; arrowR._visible=false;}
else {arrowR._visible=true; arrowL._visible=false;}
}
onMouseDown=function() {
if (_xmousew/2) {loadImage(current-1);}
else { loadImage(current+1);}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
That's weird that you also have to addChild() the class instance to the stage,
but makes sense I guess - I thought addChild(textField) in the class would be
enough, but I can see it now. Works. Thanks.

Hi,
In your fla add:
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
//You need to add the Child to the Stage addChild(hw);
Other way to do it is set as 'Main Class 'of the fla file
Helloworld.as, you can do it in Publish settings in
ActionScript option (the same where you set the source paths).

Getting my feet wet with AS3, I just bought the AS3
cookbook and have
learned a lot already - great book. I feel like an idiot
asking this
as I'm pretty good in AS2, but with AS3, I'm not getting a simple
script working. I have the Flash 9 AS3 preview, trying to write a
simple HelloWorld class (based on an example in the book)
to show a TextField:

Oh, and as a side note, I use FlashDevelop 2.0.1 and have my syntax
set to AS3, but have notices code hinting doesn't always work or is
sometimes incomplete - has anyone else noticed that? Maybe I just
need to update it.

[Flashcoders] Flash VIDEO
Hi there - I use Sony Vegas, have a 16:9 HDD camcorder that imports mpeg2 video, and want the same results to run really smooth on a website. I realise there are a few stages that need to be done right from origin. I have edited a 2 minute sequence that will be my first step to getting it right. The thing that really confuss me is the fact that it starts at (PAL) 720x576 - project properties are 16:9 which is just how I want the true pixel output to be once it is run through the mill. I need a little advice on rendering the original, then what to do with Sorenson - so that I can show it at, say, 450x253 nicely within a website. There are a few issues like ratio that are confusing me, and I would really appreciate a little assistance. It may be best if you contact me off-list because I will need a little step-by-step guidance I think. I have got the main principles, its just a matter of figuring how exactly to do it. This has taken me all week thus far...!
