Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 an Mac - compiler errors with SVN-folders
Yeah, seems all greater projects are moving towards Flex as compiler. Sad thing is, with the usual Flash-update strategy (how many fixes were released for Flash 8?) we'll likely have to live with this problem. That's annoying. Bit of: Flash really is for designers, Flex is for coders. On the other hand i'm sure even designers use SVN... Enough rumbling, gotta set up some ant-targets for mxmcl.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 code!!
Hello :)
In AS3 in your main class who extends the Sprite class... if you use the
flash.utils.describeType function you can see the Sprite class isn't
dynamic :
package
{
import flash.utils.describeType;
public class Test extends Sprite
{
public function Test()
{
trace( describeType( this ) ) ;
}
}
}
result in the output console :
type name=vegas base=flash.display::Sprite isDynamic=false
isFinal=false isStatic=false..
If the class isn't dynamic you can't use the dynamic keyword :
package
{
import flash.utils.describeType;
public dynamic class Test extends Sprite
{
public function Test()
{
for (var i:uint = 0 ; i10 ; i++)
{
this[somevarname+i] = i;
}
trace( this.somevarname2 ) ; // 2
}
}
}
EKA+ :)

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Events, Delegates and passing parameters
Hello :) it's not a problem ;) only a supplement to highlight this feature. For me i think the clone() method call alway in the dispatch event isn't the better fast solution to dispatch the events ... but it's an other story ;) EKA+ :) 2007/9/1, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't see why this is a problem as it's properly documented: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/0138.html quote Event class utility methods There are two utility methods in the Event class. The clone() method allows you to create copies of an event object. The toString() method allows you to generate a string representation of the properties of an event object along with their values. Both of these methods are used internally by the event model system, but are exposed to developers for general use. For advanced developers creating subclasses of the Event class, you must override and implement versions of both utility methods to ensure that the event subclass will work properly. /quote quote when creating an Event subclass you must override the clone() and toString() methods to provide functionality specific to the subclass. /quote I've read about it first in the Flex 2 docs though (which is alot better than the Flash docs IMO): http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/createevents_140_5.html quote You are required to override the Event.clone() method in your subclass. The clone() method returns a cloned copy of the event object by setting the type property and any new properties in the clone. Typically, you define the clone() method to return an event instance created with the new operator. /quote regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: eka [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2007 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Events, Delegates and passing parameters Hello :) The events are cloned the second time in the dispatchEvent method.

[Flashcoders] Applying easing effect to type effect
Hi,
i got the following code:
effect = function (txt) {
string = txt;
total = string.length;
var ta:Array =[]
for (i=0;itotal;i++) {
ta.push(string.substr(0, i+1))
}
i=0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if(itotal-1) {
i++
text.text = ta[i] +_;
}else{
text.text = txt;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
};
};
effect(blah blah blah blah);
This writes in a dynamic text field a string with a typewriter effect
I saw, by the way, in some websites, that the typewrite effect is performed
with an easeOut effect and i guess
it can be achieved by using the tweener class by Zeh, but I have no idea
about how to implement in my code.
Any help???
Hasta...
