Re: [Flashcoders] loadVars not initialising first
i've found that the best way of dealing with this kind of thing is to push it onto an array (either on _root or _global) in the onLoad and manipulate that but if you need to set up buttons etc using the variables at start, you'll need to add it all to the onLoad (create a function for that purpose) On 28 May 2007, at 10:34, John Trentini wrote: Muzac, Thanks I understand that is what should happen but I implemented tyour code and still no luck, I'll fiddel some more with this...

They weren't stored locally, the array was declared outside of the onLoad event
handler.

I understand that, but if his specific requirement is to go through .as files, then something like TextPad should be able to do exactly what he needs. You can search for and replace all instances of a specific string within folders, subfolders, specifically selected files, etc. You can even add the .as filetype within TextPad and associate it directly to TextPad or have it open up the default program. I mean, did you guys even look up TextPad's capabilities before shooting down my suggestion? ActionScript files are nothing more than text files. There's no special encoding type to show that they are 'ActionScript' files, aside from the fact that the compiler is hard-coded to look for the specific .as extension. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Count Schemula Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 2:53 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility He wants to use search to go through files on the computer and look inside the files for matches.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
Not sure about TextPad but I know EditPlus will let me search entire directories, and subdirectories if desired, for whatever text, or even a regular expression, in any files found. You can specify the extensions or not. The files don't have to be open in the program and the results are returned as a list (one for each line found in each file) in a window. You can then double-click a line and the associated file will be displayed at the line in question (line will be highlighted). Is that the kind of functionality you would be looking for? If not, what is it you need that isn't covered in what I mentioned?

RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
Okay, excuse my last email if this is the type of functionality you're looking for. Perhaps I misread what was written. If what you're looking for is a 'class browser' of sorts, then download and install Eclipse w/ either ASDT or FDT (probably FDT) and import a new Flash project, point it to the folder where your project sits and you'll be able to browse through all the classes as well as being able to search through all classes/files for specific strings. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Count Schemula Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 2:58 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility http://www.sephiroth.it/python/classbrowser.php Does this offer anything?

Cool, I guess I should have assumed that there would be some powerful text editors available. I just thought I saw NotePad or something, which can't do stuff like that.

RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
Thanks David, In your initial post I misread text files as text file's... hence my response. I'll download it and take a look at it. It still would be nice to have a general purpose desktop app that does this, but for my most immediate needs this might fit the bill. ...Rob -Original Message- From: David Ngo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 3:04 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility I understand that, but if his specific requirement is to go through .as files, then something like TextPad should be able to do exactly what he needs. You can search for and replace all instances of a specific string within folders, subfolders, specifically selected files, etc. You can even add the .as filetype within TextPad and associate it directly to TextPad or have it open up the default program. I mean, did you guys even look up TextPad's capabilities before shooting down my suggestion? ActionScript files are nothing more than text files. There's no special encoding type to show that they are 'ActionScript' files, aside from the fact that the compiler is hard-coded to look for the specific .as extension. ___ 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

Hi, A general purpose desktop app that does this, and a lot, lot more, is Total Commander. I cannot recommend enough this little app - give it a try.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
SEPY has a search in feature that would work perfectly for what you are doing. you could set up a fake project that is at the root level of your drive and search .as files for text.

[Flashcoders] Best way to control game character animations
Hello list, I've been fiddling around with character animations for use in AS3 flash games. What's not clear to me is the animation control. What's the best way to switch the current animation of the character? I tried having each animation in its own MovieClip, and add/remove and play/stop them as necessary, but this causes blinking problems in slower machines (you can sometimes see the character disappearing and appearing when the animation switches), which's not a good thing. I believe this is related to the asyncronous nature of the flash player. What I'm doing now is have a master MovieClip that contains one character animation in each frame, and switch between them as needed. This looks a little clumsy to me, as objects get created/destroyed unnecessarily, and it's hard to manage them. Is this the only way to go, or is there a better solution? Any hints on this would be really appreciated. Thanks. -- Frederico Ferro Schuh MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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] IE7/Flash Player Problem
Hi everyone, I'm currently experiencing a weird bug that only occurs on IE7 (I've tried flash player 8 and all revisions of 9). I'm using XML.sendAndLoad() to send XML to a server retrieve xml back as a response. This is code which has been running in production for years without problem until earlier this month. The problem occurs on the XML object's onLoad handler which gets a success parameter from the player indicating if the message succeeded or not. Periodically, the flash player reports the message failed (success is false) but my web debugger shows the message was retrieved successfully (I use Charles web debugger). This can happen on any message but generally happens quite randomly. 50 messages may work fine and then one will exhibit this false negative behavior from the flash player. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing with IE7? If so, do you have any further information?
