Call something like this after you do the swap:
targetMC.setMask(maskMC);
This will reset the mask. Masking is tricky business. You cannot mask more
than one thing. I mention this in case you are using swapDepths to try and
cover more movieclips with your mask - it will not work... I don't think
the
depth of the mask has any impact on how it works.
You might want to consider operating the masking mechanism
programmatically
to begin with.
My summer is alright, thank you. Hope this helps.

would be great !!

We're developing a site in Flash - it's all Flash - one page, and I'm now tasked with doing some SEO work for it.

Embed the Flash on all pages as well? Not care and just have multiple php/html pages? My feeling is I should have the Flash on all pages too, and just use a url var to bring up the correct content, if Flash is viewable... Just want to be sure the best route here.

[Flashcoders] cursor question
I'm not sure if anyone else responded to this, but I had a similar problem and I thought the only workaround was setting the mouse picture for every element that handled rollover etc. (since if you set it for the parent, it removes all the mouse functions for it's children) . The easy way for me was that I created a cursor component, and then I gotoAndPlay (actually just have external helper functions tied to it) the frame that has the correct cursor. One of those functions can just hide the cursor and show the mouse again - to have a normal mouse. I've also noticed that sometimes the rollout event is not always called (fast mouse movement etc) - And the window they rolled over doesn't handle the custom mouse - so onRollOver isn't going to help. I run the entire cursor icon through a interval hooked into mouse move, and when the mouse doesn't move for a certain time, it just disappears. - another way to perform this is by using a hittest every so often etc. There are many ways to perform this task, but I've never found something that could be self-contained. The main problem I had was the ability to control the mouse over a parent and still let the children receive mouse events. (without creating some elaborate event system) Hope this helps..

Subject: [Flashcoders] XML loading and parsing problem
The primary thing to remember is scope.
The onLoad function is running within the xml's scope. The fun function is
running with the scope of the parent class/object.
The fact that fun worked and gallery didn't leads me to think that this is
not the real code, but you are running it in a class of some sort.
Tehnically in your code, the gallery would be global as well as fun and they
should both work, but it sounds more likely that you created your XML object
within the scope of a function - I'm not really sure, but here are my
thoughts..
I'm not sure what version of AS you are running, so there are slightly
better ways to perform this task, but the easy way:
Modify your onLoad to pass this on the fun function and modify the fun to
have a xmlInfo:XML parameter:
gallery.onLoad = function( bSuccess ) { if ( bSuccess ) fun( this ); };
fun( xmlInfo:XML ):Void
{
// perform your XML stuff.
}
As a note, Personnaly to keep my onLoad functions short (since they are
inline) - I like to pass the boolean to the function as well and check the
status there (that way I could do some error handling etc. if necessary).
Hope this helps..
Fruber.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML loading and parsing problem
Delegate is a better solution, Since you didn't specify nor show in the code
what version of AS you were compiling with, the first version was an AS1
soluction.
Delegate is much better, especially if you are using it within a class etc.
So if you are using AS2 or better, then that's a more clean solution.
Thanks - Fruber

Subject: [Flashcoders] XML loading and parsing problem
The primary thing to remember is scope.
The onLoad function is running within the xml's scope. The fun function is
running with the scope of the parent class/object.
The fact that fun worked and gallery didn't leads me to think that this is
not the real code, but you are running it in a class of some sort.
Tehnically in your code, the gallery would be global as well as fun and
they
should both work, but it sounds more likely that you created your XML
object
within the scope of a function - I'm not really sure, but here are my
thoughts..
I'm not sure what version of AS you are running, so there are slightly
better ways to perform this task, but the easy way:
Modify your onLoad to pass this on the fun function and modify the fun to
have a xmlInfo:XML parameter:
gallery.onLoad = function( bSuccess ) { if ( bSuccess ) fun( this ); };
fun( xmlInfo:XML ):Void
{
// perform your XML stuff.
}
As a note, Personnaly to keep my onLoad functions short (since they are
inline) - I like to pass the boolean to the function as well and check the
status there (that way I could do some error handling etc. if necessary).
Hope this helps..
Fruber.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML loading and parsing problem
Omar - also keep in mind all the solutions you are seeing make the
assumption that the xml object is global to the context, there are many
situations where you only want the xml instance to be around for a short
time and keeping it within function scope and then passing a node around or
the parsed version of it around - then you should pass the xml object to
your function, otherwise if you keep it as a class member (or global) - then
all is well.
While I'm not 100% sure, I don't think you can make the xml object within a
function scope and still use the delegate in this fashion. In that case,
you'd need to assign the delegate.create the xml object as the context, with
the function being a class member function. But of course the problem with
that would be you wouldn't have access to your other class members when the
function was called.
Unless someone knows of another way - only the AS1 version will allow you to
encapsulate the xml object (without having it as a class member or global).
Just a few more notes, hope all of it is helpful.
Thanks - Fruber
