[Flashcoders] autosize and dropshadow

2008-12-15 Thread Hans Wichman

Hi list,

when creating a dynamic textfield with a dropshadow, autosize stops working
correctly.
Unfortunately only for some textfields so it's not easily reproduced.

I found someone with the same problem (
http://www.gotoandlearnforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=28t=15359 ) and applying
the filter after the text works, but I was wondering if someone knows what
causes this, and if there is another fix (which saves me from reapplying the
filter every time).

regards,
JC

[Flashcoders] LoaderInfo extremely annoying bug!!

2008-12-15 Thread Taka Kojima

private function loadImage(imageID:String):void{
var gallery:XML = XML(_xml.gallery.(@id == currentGallery));
var image:XML = XML(gallery.image.(@imageID == imageID));

if(ima...@bordersize == undefined){ima...@bordersize = 0;}

Gallery.getInstance().imageInfo._title.text = ima...@title;
Gallery.getInstance().imageInfo._description.text =
ima...@description;

imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,
onImageLoad);

imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(galle...@folder + / +
ima...@src));

function onImageLoad(e:Event):void{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, positionImage);
}

function positionImage(e:Event):void{
//imageLoader.x = -(imageLoader.width/2);
//imageLoader.y = -(imageLoader.height/2);

mainImage.border.width = imageLoader.width;
mainImage.border.height = imageLoader.height;

var borderWidth:Number = imageLoader.width +
(Number(ima...@bordersize)*2);
var borderHeight:Number = imageLoader.height +
(Number(ima...@bordersize)*2);

//mainImage.border.width = borderWidth;
//mainImage.border.height = borderHeight;
//mainImage.border.x = -(borderWidth/2);
//mainImage.border.y = -(borderHeight/2);

var tweenX:Tween = new Tween(mainImage.border, x,
Regular.easeOut, mainImage.border.x, -(borderWidth/2), 1, true);
var tweenY:Tween = new Tween(mainImage.border, y,
Regular.easeOut, mainImage.border.y, -(borderHeight/2), 1, true);
var tweenWidth:Tween = new Tween(mainImage.border, width,
Regular.easeOut, mainImage.border.width, borderWidth, 1, true);
var tweenHeight:Tween = new Tween(mainImage.border,
height, Regular.easeOut, mainImage.border.height, borderHeight, 1, true);

//TweenLite.to(mainImage.border, 1, {x:-(borderWidth/2),
y:-(borderHeight/2), width: borderWidth, height: borderHeight,
ease:Circ.easeIn});
//mainImage.addChild(imageLoader);
}

currentImage = imageID;

}

Okay, so here is the problem...

Using the Loader class totally screws up tweening for the width and height
properties of anything... the width/height props are coming back fine from
the event, my border MC will even position itself right if i don't tween it,
but as soon as I try to tween it, it jumps to the end value right away
(doesn't matter what tween class I use, TweenLight, or even the built in
Tween class)...

If you manually set borderWidth and borderHeight before the event handler
and try to tween it that way, it works 100% okay...

I really can't figure this out, this is the weirdest friggin' bug I have
experienced in the last year.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

- Taka

Tried using Event.COMPLETE instead of Event.INIT?

[Flashcoders] inversedMask method stopping any parent masks?

2008-12-15 Thread whispers

 
Hi this is my first post, so I hope I'm doing this correctly..LOL
 
 
This is AS2, not AS3, so if anyone could suggest something to search for I'd
appreciate it.
 
I am trying to use this method here: (found on Adobes forms)

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15

F67E-56DC-E1E8B1280EE0B55Cjsessionid=4830966da44a4398c212f6359546a572e3e3

to create an inversed mask of the shape I have drawn (lineTo) inside a
movieClip..

my clip layout/nesting is as follows:

parent.parent clip (contentContainer)
|
---parent clip (faceContainer)
|
lineContainer (holds the shape/object I'm using for my
source of the inverse mask
maskContainer (empty clip to hold the dynamically created
clip from the inverse mask method above)
imageContainer (the place where the dynamically loaded image
gets loaded into, and is 'masked' by the inversedMask method)

now this all works fine.. except I want to add a mask to the parent clip
thats holding these 3 nested clips...(faceContainer).. or even to the parent
clip of that (contentContainer)..

but when I do so.. and then invoke the inversedMask() method from
above,...the whole imageContainer goes blank...

now since the only REAL masking is the maskContainer, masking the
imageContainer.. why cant I add a mask manually or through AS to the
faceContainer or the contentContainer clips?

I cant seem to figure it out...  something with this inversedMethod() I've
found and am using?..or just an illegal (I don't believe so) application of
masks in Flash?

any ideas or suggestion is helpful..

this 'IS' AS2 by the way... (just to re-iterate)

thanks for the eyes.  =)

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: A funny little hover problem with CSS

2008-12-15 Thread David Hershberger

We had a similar issue triggered by scaling.  When we rescaled objects with
Advanced Anti-Aliasing text, they wouldn't recompute their size properly and
would truncate themselves with ... at the end at some scales but not at
others.  We ended up just turning it off.  It's true that it looks better,
but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. :-/

  Hi all,
  I'm having a really odd problem, that I haven't been able to find
 anything
  about. I have a multiline, word wrapped TextField that uses CSS (built as
  objects), with content coming from HTML in an XML file.
  It all works fine, but for some reason, when I hover over a link (whether
 I
  have CSS for hover or not) it moves a pixel or two. Sometimes only the
 first
  time, sometimes all the time.
  If I have a a:hover in the CSS it definitely moves every time.
 
  Has anyone encountered this, got a solution or have any idea why this
 would
  happen?
 
  Thanks,
 
  Ashim

Re: [Flashcoders] A funny little hover problem with CSS

2008-12-15 Thread Matt S.

I seem to remember solving this problem once by changing where the
stylesheet gets set, but I cant remember the order. I would try a few
options, like:

txt.htmlText = xmlTXT;  
CreateStyleSheet();

or

CreateStyleSheet();
txt.htmlText = xmlTXT;  

or even ( I know it looks stupid)

CreateStyleSheet();
txt.htmlText = xmlTXT;  
CreateStyleSheet();

kinda kludgy, but if it works...

Re: [Flashcoders] A funny little hover problem with CSS

2008-12-15 Thread Ashim D'Silva

Thanks guys,
Still having trouble though. I have scaled anything, and I tried all those
combinations of resetting the style sheet each time.
I'm pretty close to giving up and sticking with normal anti-aliasing.

Flash's support for HTML and CSS has always been a bit iffy though. It's
just useful for CMS control.

Cheers,

Ashim
