In general, when you really, really think your code is ok (which is  
probably a lot less often than you initially think), there might be  
issues with running the code that might cause an error. Some other  
things you can try:


1. Make sure all your AS files have been saved so you are actually  
running your latest code and not the previous saved version.


2. Go to control and select Delete ASO Files

3.  Make sure there aren't any odd invisible characters can get into  
your code from cutting and pasting and this cleanses your code. Copy  
your text from your script and paste into a simple text editor and  
then paste back into your script editor.


4. Close and restart Flash.

victor, you need to do this in flash (if i've understood you correctly) you
get your preloader to load in your main content, it's a container...

Re: [Flashcoders] Can u combine....

2010-02-26 Thread Juan Pablo Califano
Another option:
function loadXML(dfile:String,arg1:Object,arg2:Array):void
{

  urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(dfile));
  urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void {
parseXml(e,arg1,arg2);
  });
}

function parseXML(e:Event,arg1:Object,arg2:Array):void
{
  xmlFile:new XML(e.target.data);
  totalBars = xmlFile.children().length();
}

This method has a drawback (and is usually frowned upon) because you cannot
remove the listener. In this case, though, I don't think this is a problem
(the loader seems to be owned by the class)

2010-02-26 Thread Geografiek

Hi list,
Suppose I have an associative array like this:
var myArray:Object = new Object();
myArray.item1 = item1;
myArray.item2 = item2;
myArray.selected = false;

item1 and item2 are 2 mc's living on the stage. Selected is a newly  
created property on myArray.
Now I want to change myArray.selected by clicking on one of both item  
and change the appearance of both items based on the value of  
myArray.selected. Is this possible?
In other words: myArray knows it contains item1 but does item1 have a  
way of knowing it is part of myArray.

Thanks,
Willem van den Goorbergh

Re: [Flashcoders] Preloader, Pt. 2

2010-02-26 Thread Victor Subervi
I think you misunderstand.
1) I have created a preloader.fla that works flawlessly.
2) It calls another fla/*.as file and that loads and everything is peachy
keen.

Now, what I want to know is, how do I put this in my html file so that
everything executes? And please bear in mind what I wrote earlier, about the
other fla/*.as file starting with a splash page then going to the regular
html page, which is the reason I sent that html code.

Yes, the preloader is already written and works.
Please advise.

Does your preloader load your splash movie? Or is it just an intro movie?

 No - I just didn't understand what you wanted :)

 Are you trying to manipulate HTML from SWF? If so you can call
 Javascript function using ExternalInterface.call().


 I don't think that's what I want. What I want...
 1) preloader shows up
 2) splash page shows up
 3) regular html page with flash object shows up

 That's it!!

 Now, I have the splash page and regular html page playing nicely together.

 How do I get the cotton-pickin preloader to cooperate?!
 TIA,

Then when the splash finishes playing just go to another HTML with
your contents.

Just to be dead clear...
1) The fake preloader is not the splash. It will load the heavy image that
is used in both the splash and the main html page with the embedded object.
2) The fake preloader will redirect to the main html page that is covered
by the splash page which alphas out.

That will work? The assets loaded in the fake preloader will carry over?

 Yes, I saw that one Tom.  It is very nicely designed and I 
 can see how it was successful, but behavior-wise, it does 
 feel a bit dated now.  
 
 Thanks!

 not all that amazing now but was probably one of the first 
 and did it well.

Downloaded external assets would be cached therefore the browser

Put your bitmap in a movieclip and add a listener to the Md so when the user 
clicks it navigates to the new page.

The Bitmap class does not extend InteractiveDisplayObject, so you need 
to stick it in something that does. Just stick it in a Sprite.

save this as file myURLLoader.as

Hello,
I am not sure if this is a cross post, if it is, I do apologize.
Does anyone know of a list like this but for Javascript?
If anyone knows of one, I would greatly appreciate it.
