Re: [Flashcoders] Window component scrolling...am I insane?
Do you happen to have a trick you can share for sizing a window properly when the scrollPane's scroll policies are set to auto? I can only seem to get things working properly if the vScrollPolicy is auto and the hScrollPolicy is off. (I want the window so it should just fit around the loaded content of the scrollPane if the width and height are below a given maximum size, only scrolling if necessary.) -Mark Hawley Merrill, Jason wrote: I've never heard of Window having scroll features.

As David pointed out, dump and forget about loadMovie (there's no
loadMovie in AS3 anyways).
Use the MovieClipLoader class to load external assets (replaced
with flash.display.Loader in AS3)
It's much more elegant and has methods and events to handle
loading of external assets.
As for the reason why your events attached to the movieclip don't
work, that's because when loading something in a MovieClip,
everything associated with that MovieClip is cleared/removed.
So you'll have to wait for the external asset to be fully loaded
before assigning events to the MovieClip and that's what the
MovieClipLoader is for. The onLoadInit event will tell you when
the MovieClip is ready to work with and is when you can assign
events to it.

[Flashcoders] Constructors in AS2 SWFs not being called when loaded by AS3
I've got an AS 2.0 (Flash 8) SWF that creates a class, and traces a
property on that class... Something like this:
foo = new Thingy();
trace(foo.test);
All the class does is initialize that property; something like this:
class Thingy {
public var test:String;
public function Thingy() {
test = hello;
}
}
This is pretty basic stuff -- and it works as expected. When run, it
simply traces hello. I then create an AS3 / Flash 9 app that loads
the aforementioned SWF... Something like this:
As2thing = new Loader();
addChild(As2thing);
As2thing.load(new URLRequest(as2thing.swf));
Then suddenly, as2thing.swf doesn't quite behave the same; the Thingy's
constructor doesn't get called -- it traces undefined instead. Any
idea why?

I always thought adding a textfield to the stage was absurd so I've
created a movieclip with a textfield and then added a linkage id to

then instead of createTextField just do attachMovie:
var tb1:MovieClip = this.attachMovie('mytextbox_mc', tb1,

tb1.text_tf._width = 200;

[Flashcoders] [as3] addchild()
Hello Dear Flashcoders, I am trying to create a particle system in AS3 in flex builder 2. so my structure is like this: I do have a main class of the program, I do have Circle class and I do have CircleManager class which handles all initialization and declarations about circle objects. What I am having difficulty is the rendering process. Before adding this CircleManager class, the way I created Circle class was to extend Shape class and use it according to my needs and then in the main class I could able to add it like; // main class var c:Circle = new Circle(); c.draw(); addchild(c); but since I added my CircleManager class and even I did the changes I was supposed to do, I think I am still missing something since I don't see anything on the screen. What I did was I create a CircleManager class and move all declarations of circle to here. for my main I changed it like below: // main class var c:CircleManager = new CircleManager(); c.draw(); addchild(c); This first gave me error and it made sense. I forgot to extend my CircleManager class with sprite or shape in order to be able to use it with addChild. So I went ahead and added extend Shape to my CircleManager class. It corrected the error but when I ran this I don't see anything on the screen. When I debug the code I can trace the x,y values for Circles. So my questions: Should I still be adding all the circle objects with addchild() method in order to render them on the screen? Isn't there a way to just add my CircleManager and let it do the job? Should I make Circle subclass of CircleManager in order to do it? I am looking forward to your advices. best, ilteris ___ 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] Constructors in AS2 SWFs not being called whenloaded by AS3
Is there any reason why you aren't porting over the Thingy
class from AS2 to AS3? It might be easier to rewrite the
class using AS3.
The system I'm making is for featuring other artist's work... Some may
not have Flash 9, and really don't want to require them to use a program
that isn't even out yet... Also, there are some older AS2 apps that will
be adapted to this system. The reason the base is in AS3 is because I
want to be able to at least support AS3, since I assume it will
eventually dominate, and AS3's got some other functionality that I would
like to incorporate.
That link to AVM1Movie was really interesting -- It definitely has some
very relevant stuff, but I still don't see why AS2 doesn't call the
constructor. From what I can tell, the instance is created and all
other calls work, but the constructor itself just gets skipped.
Has anyone else tried this? Would anyone else be willing to try and see
what other information can be gleaned from it? Would it be proper to
say that this is a bug (rather than a shortcoming) in Flash Player 9?

AS2 code will not work directly with AS3. You'll have to use LocalConnection
to get the two pieces of code to communicate with each other (very ugly). At

not have Flash 9, and really don't want to require them to use a program
that isn't even out yet... Also, there are some older AS2 apps that will
be adapted to this system. The reason the base is in AS3 is because I
want to be able to at least support AS3, since I assume it will
eventually dominate, and AS3's got some other functionality that I would
like to incorporate.
That link to AVM1Movie was really interesting -- It definitely has some
very relevant stuff, but I still don't see why AS2 doesn't call the
constructor. From what I can tell, the instance is created and all
other calls work, but the constructor itself just gets skipped.
Has anyone else tried this? Would anyone else be willing to try and see
what other information can be gleaned from it? Would it be proper to
say that this is a bug (rather than a shortcoming) in Flash Player 9?

I've got an AS 2.0 (Flash 8) SWF that creates a class, and traces a
property on that class... Something like this:
foo = new Thingy();
trace(foo.test);
All the class does is initialize that property; something
like this:
class Thingy {
public var test:String;
public function Thingy() {
test = hello;
}
}
This is pretty basic stuff -- and it works as expected.
When run, it
simply traces hello. I then create an AS3 / Flash 9 app
that loads
the aforementioned SWF... Something like this:
As2thing = new Loader();
addChild(As2thing);
As2thing.load(new URLRequest(as2thing.swf));
Then suddenly, as2thing.swf doesn't quite behave the same; the
Thingy's constructor doesn't get called -- it traces undefined
instead. Any idea why?

[Flashcoders] WebServices in Flash IDE ...
I can't define web services in the flash IDE.For any URL (and I've tried 5 different ones) I get the following message:WSDL download failed for the following URLs:Anyone know a fix for this or why this might be happening?.One possibly fix I stumbled upon was to delete everything in the 'Local Settings Temp' folder, but this didn't work for me.Does anyone user the Web Services panel in Flash IDE - is it worth learning about ?, or do you keep everything in code when connecting to services.___ 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
