Re: [Flashcoders] Papervision Help
Well, papervision will be able to do that, and the docs are quite helpful. You'll have to be specific when you search google for this stuff though. I did find some nice tutorials on lighting and shaders that should be helpful but that I can't remember offhand. However, you might want to re-evaluate using the default flash 10 stuff. Lighting and shadowing live is only necessary if your object are going to change enough to make a difference. You might find you can get away with baking all that into textures and saving your processing power.

[Flashcoders] stop() not working
Hello, if I create a new Flash file (AS3), press F9 and enter stop(); trace(-); then it will print that line just once as expected. But if I enter: stop(); trace(-); var user:User = new User(); addChild(user); user.x = user.y = 200; user.userid = 53; user.username = 'Алекс'; user.trix = 4; user.bid = 117; user.scaleX = user.scaleY = 0.8; user.avatar = '2_1211369175.jpg'; user.avatar = '458_1211369175.jpg'; Then I will see - being printed again and again. I wonder what's happening here. My class User uses a Loader and is listed at http://pastebin.com/m60cbb775 Thank you for any hints Alex ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] stop() not working
Any chance that you are actually putting the code on the symbol definition instead of a frame on the main timeline, thereby creating User within User within ... ? You'd probably get a recursion crash, but it's possible. I would at this point try to isolate the problem a little more. If you think it's the loader, what happens when you comment out the loader? What about if user is an empty class? -jonathan 2009/5/24 Alexander Farber alexander.far...@gmail.com Hello, if I create a new Flash file (AS3), press F9 and enter stop(); trace(-); then it will print that line just once as expected.

I suspect you have some code somewhere that you've forgotten about - a gotoAndPlay hidden on a component someplace. - Original Message - From: Alexander Farber alexander.far...@gmail.com To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] stop() not working Thank you.

Re: [Flashcoders] Papervision Help
Well my concern now is, how can I apply a light and a shadow to a MovieMaterial. I've searched the whole google for it but invain.

Re: [Flashcoders] calling an event function with a parameter that is a number
Agreed!
2009/5/24 Steven Sacks flash...@stevensacks.net
The latter is cleaner and better, IMO.
Write a function that your event handler calls. Then, you can call it from
elsewhere and from your button click handler.
function onThumbClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
loadImage(event.target.name);
}
function loadImage(num:int):void
{
// loadImage(num);
}
Juan Pablo Califano wrote:
You have a couple of options:
You could add an optional parameter to the function that handles the
click,
like this:
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent,index:int = 0):void{
}
Setting a default value for the index parameter allows the function to be
called without passing it. That's what will happen when a thumb is
clicked.
When you want to call the function directly, you'd do:
clickThumb(null,image_num + 1);
In clickThumb, check whether the event object is null or not. If it's not,
do what you're currently doing. If it's null, use the index parameter as
the
index into my_images.
Another thing you could do is a bit of refactoring.
Have the click handler only resolve the index and calling another function
to actually load the image.
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void {
loadImage(e.target.name);
}
function loadImage(index:int):void {
if (my_full_images[index] == undefined){
var full_url = my_images[inde...@full;
... etc ...
}
Then, from your other button's handler, call loadImage(image_num + 1);

Hello!
In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or load
the
image and show a progress bar) that is called by clicking on a thumbnail,
and uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property name of
the
thumbnail clicked, which is an integer. The thumbnails are placed inside
the
cointaner_mc MovieClip.
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){
var full_url = my_images[e.target.nam...@full;
etc...
but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would
need
to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers
to
the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.
I tried this:
clickThumb(image_num + 1)
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type
flash.events:MouseEvent.
How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use image_num + 1
instead of e.target.name ?
Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this
value image_num + 1 ?
Thanks in advance !!
Isaac
