[Flashcoders] swf doesn't work the same online
Hi;
I built a swf that works the way I want it in Flash, but when I upload it, it
acts differently! I built buttons in as3 like this:
function nav(nname:String, nurl:String, myX:int, bgcolor:uint):void
{
myfont2 = 'Arial';
mydize = 15;
mytxtcolor = 0x00;
myborder = true;
mybordercolor = 0xFF;
myY = 170;
myfill = 0x97f9ec;
mynav = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = myfont2;
format.size = mysize;
mynav.htmlText = 'a href=' + nurl + '.html' + nname + '/a';
mynav.textColor = myTextColor;
mynav.border = myborder;
mynav.borderColor = mybordercolor;
mynav.background=true;
mynav.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
mynav.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mynav.x = myX;
mynav.y = myY;
mynav.setTextFormat(format);
var navdrop:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();
navdrop.color = 0x00;
navdrop.blurX = 3;
navdrop.blurY = 3;
navdrop.angle = 0;
navdrop.alpha = 0.5;
navdrop.distance = 3;
var navfilters:Array = new Array(navdrop);
mynav.filters = navFiltersArray;
var nsprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.name = nname;
nsprite.addChild(mynav);
var len:int = mynav.numLines;
for (var i:int = 0; i len; i++)
{
var metrics:TextLineMetrics = mynav.getLineMetrics(i);
with(nsprite.graphics)
{
beginFill(myfill, 1);
drawRect(mynav.x, mynav.y, metrics.width + 4,
metrics.height + metrics.descent + 1);
endFill();
}
}
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOutHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPressHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onReleaseHandler);
nsprite.mouseChildren = false;
nsprite.buttonMode = true;
}
function onRollOverHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x97f9ec);
}
}
function onRollOutHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
function onClickHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
mynav.textColor = 0x00;
mynav.borderColor = 0xFF;
}
function onPressHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0xff);
}
}
function onReleaseHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
}
I can't figure out why it doesn't work online like it does in Flash. Online,
it's all broken. Is this common? What should I do?
Thanks,
John

No, the if statements were closed. I just edited some stuff out and missed
that. The code works perfectly well in the swf in my Flash, and that's what
confuses me.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: swf doesn't work the same online
Hi,
You are creating your sprites inside your nav function as local
variables - they are probably getting garbage collected because as soon
as nav returns nsprite will cease to exist in your code and will be
reaped by the gc at any time the Flash Player chooses after that.
I recommend you do something like the following which means your nav
function returns the Sprite you create and you store it, meaning it
won't get garbage collected.
HTH
Glen
//create an array of nname, nurl, strings (shortened for convenience.:
var nNames:Array = [Home, Bathroom, ...];
var nUrls:Array = [index, Bathroom, ];
var positions:Array [
//loop through the arrays and create each navigation element, then
return it...
var numLinks = nNames.length();
var nNavs:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int = 0; i numLinks;i++) {
var nav:Sprite = nav(nNames[i], nUrls[i], positions[i], 0x0e778a);
nNavs.push(nav);
//do anything else you need to do to the nav sprite here.
}
//make nav return the sprite it creates.
function nav(...):Sprite {
//create stuff
//...
//Create mynav text field with a name attribute!
mynav.name = mynav;
//add listeners
//
return nsprite;
}
function onRolloverHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
var nsprite:Sprite = e.currentTarget as Sprite;
if(nsprite nsprite.mynav) {
TextField(mysprite.mynav).bgcolor = 0x97f9ec;
}
}
//Repeat for the other listener handlers.

In addition to the complete event, I would assume you can listen to the

though I have never bothered with it for XML myself.
