RE: [Flashcoders] placing mc on the stage

[Jim Robson]

Pedro,

Your loop goes from 0 to 1, and you are constructing the names of your movie
clips as "code"+I; therefore, your movie clip names are "code0" and "code1".
There is no such clip as "code2".

Thanks for the reply. but it still doesn't work for me. I can only see code1
moving randomly overthe stage, but thereis no sign of code2 movie clip.
Here is a bigger peace of the code:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas",this.getNextHighestDepth());//creates an
empty MC in which i attach 2 textMCs


mouseInterval = setInterval(cahngeAlpha, 1);//set interval for bg and hello
world reload
attachMovieInterval = setInterval(attachMovies, 200);//set interval for
green text mc reload

function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i<2; i++) {
canvas.attachMovie("code","code"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
canvas.code1._x = random500;
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._y = Stage.height/2;
}
}



function cahngeAlpha() {
a._alpha = (Math.round(_root._xmouse/550*100));
a._xscale = (Math.round(_root._xmouse+250)-1)/0.9998;
a._yscale = (Math.floor(_root._xmouse/550*20+100));
black._alpha = Math.round((550-(_root._xmouse))/550*100);
white._alpha = Math.round(_root._xmouse/550*100);
random500 = Math.random()*100;
random100 = Math.random()*100;
updateAfterEvent();
}

attachMovies();//ou said ihave to put this. but for the other
function(cahngeAlpha) i didnt and it works perfectly!!

have i done a mistake?

Re: [Flashcoders] placing mc on the stage

[Bob Leisle]

Hi Pedro,

A couple of things:
Are you trying to place the MovieClips once in random places, or make 
them move to random places? Your code suggests one-time placement. What 
you say below suggests movement on the stage.
Also, have you checked your random calculations? If you divide (/) 
Math.random, you will always get a number less than 1. Math.random() 
returns a number between 0 and 1 which can then be multiplied to get 
numbers usable for the stage coordinates.


If you are trying to place the clips one time on attachment, here is a 
function, based on the code you sent, that works:

random100=Math.random()*100;
random500=Math.random()*500;
// Assumes you've already created the MovieClip, "canvas".
function attachMovies() {
   for (var i = 0; i<2; i++) {
   canvas.attachMovie("code","code"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
   }
   canvas.code1._x = random500;
   canvas.code1._y = random100;
   canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
   canvas.code2._y = Stage.height /2;
}
attachMovies();

This will place code1 at the some random point between (0,0) and (500, 
100), and place code2 at center stage, offset by it's own registration point


hth,
Bob.

Right, but my suggestion doesn't change that. I'm just referring to the
syntax of the code inside your tracking() method; I'm not suggesting that
you do away with the method.

Corban,

This may just be a typo in your email, but there was a space between the
underscore and "trackPageview". More to the point, did you try this syntax: 


ExternalInterface.call("pageTracker._trackPageview", page);

Hi Pedro,

Try this instead:

Re: [Flashcoders] using graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk

[Glen Pike]

It's really nice once you get to grips with stuff.

Things to remember:

When you create an instance of an asset, you should cast it when you 
create it - I had all sorts of problems and was having to create my 
assets as children of Sprites until I discovered this:


var myMC:MovieClip = new ImportedMCAsset() as MovieClip;

You can import sounds, but I have not managed to embed sounds in a 
MovieClip and get it working, there was something somewhere which 
mentioned trying to cast the MC as a SoundAsset, but this is how I got 
it working:


[Embed (source = "../resources/sounds/bomb.mp3")]
private var SndBomb:Class;

var bomb:SoundAsset = new SndBomb() as SoundAsset;

You can also embed fonts from the system:

[Embed(systemFont="Tahoma", fontName='TextFont',  fontWeight='bold', 
unicodeRange='U+002C-U+005A', mimeType='application/x-font') ]

private var AnotherClass:Class;

Or from a library:

[Embed(source="../library/tahomabd.ttf", fontName='myFont', 
fontWeight='bold', unicodeRange='U+002A-U+002A', 
mimeType='application/x-font') ]

private var AssetClass:Class;

And use it like this - even if you embed the font in the main class and 
access it in a child clip (not sure if this works for other clips):


var label:TextField = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "TextFont";
format.bold = true;
format.color = 0xFF;
label.htmlText = "Embedded fonts";
label.embedFonts = true;
label.setTextFormat(format);
addChild(label);

Hi,

   I had a look at the online version - can't open the fla as it must 
be > 8


  
   My guess is that the rollout event is not being fired somehow.  Are 
you using the MouseEvents to light up the buttons - if so, does the 
rollout event get fired everytime one of the buttons goes outside the 
scrollview?

[Flashcoders] Animating NativeWindows in AIR

[Sidney de Koning]

Hi List,

Couple of questions about AIR and NativeWindows.
- How do i set the width and height of an NativeWindow? Can i do that in 
the code or only in the descriptor file?
- Can a NativeWindow also be an MovieClip (living in the library with 
linkage) and how do i set this?

- Can a NativeWindow be composed of multiple movieclips?
- Is it possible to animate an NativeWindow (using third party classes 
like Tweener)


What i would like to accomplish is this: The AIR app launches in a 
certain width and height but when i click a button, the app unfolds to a 
bigger version with the content, can i, at certain times set the size of 
my NativeWindow bigger?
(The problem that i dont want is that when my app unfolds, my 
'appllication canvas' is actuly bigger that what the user sees. When you 
dragg the app i want the draggeble area to be confined to the size of 
the current stat of my application)


Help is appreciated :)

Cheers,

Sidney

Re: [Flashcoders] buttons lined up next to each other- rollout not work

[Andy Herrman]

Try using a variable local to the for loop for the target:

//this also sets the event handling in one shot
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
   clipName = this["clip"+i];
   var myTarget= _root["text"+i]
   trace(target);


   clipName.onRollOver = function() {
   Tweener.addTween(this.person,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
   Tweener.addTween(this.whiteborder,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
   Tweener.addTween(myTarget,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
   trace("onrollover"+myTarget);
   };

   clipName.onRollOut = function() {
   Tweener.addTween(this.person,{_alpha:30, delay:0, time:1});
   Tweener.addTween(this.whiteborder,{_alpha:0, delay:0, time:1});
   Tweener.addTween(myTarget,{_alpha:0, delay:0, time:2});
   };

}

My guess is target is declared outside the for loop, so you're having
some problems with closure.  I don't know if AS's closure works the
same way as C#'s, but if it does then this could be the problem.

This article is specific to C#, but it does a good job of going over
how closures and anonymous methods work, and might be helpful to
understand this (assuming I'm right in that AS's behavior matches C#'s
for closure)

http://www.theserverside.net/tt/articles/showarticle.tss?id=AnonymousMethods

search for the "Captured local variables and code visibility" section
for an example of the possible differences between what you have and
what I suggested.
