RE: [Flashcoders] Preloader not working with singleton
You have instances in the library that Loads in first frame, So they load
before frame 0, plus you use attachMovie to load your preloader. What
happens is that the preloader and all assets that are set to export in first
frame load, then the preloader gets attached but all your assets are
allready loaded.
The best approach is to separate the preloader from the content to be
preloaded in two separate swf. And do not use attachMovie for your preloader
instance, just place it on the stage directly.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Preloader not working with singleton
Hi list...
Dumb throwback question: my load progress bar isn't working. I have two
frames, one to monitor the loading of the swf, and when it happens, go to
the next frame to init a singleton, but my load progress bar doesn't show up
until the swf is 100% loaded. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
- Michael M.
//First frame:
_root.attachMovie(loading, loading, 1, {_x:574, _y:494}); var l:Number =
new Number(_root.getBytesLoaded()); var t:Number = new
Number(_root.getBytesTotal()); var pct:Number = new Number(0);
_root.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
l = _root.getBytesLoaded();
pct = Math.round((l/t)*100);
_root.loading.progBar._width = pct;
if (pct == 100) {
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
nextFrame();
}
};
stop();
//Second frame: (inits singleton)
var o:ar = ar.getInstance();
o.init();
stop();

Re: [Flashcoders] CSS question..
Also you should use font-size (in px) not size. I'm not sure if
text-transform works or letter-spacing or margins for that matter. Keep
you CSS simple and all should be well.

RE: [Flashcoders] SCORM multi api wrapper
I believe that you can't get any return value that way (not sure, could be wrong). What you need to do is call a javascript with proxy.call wich then (the javascript) calls another function that sends data to flash through the proxy ... A better way to do that, if you use Flash 8, is to use ExternalInterface. I did some E-Learning in the past and we only sent data to the wrapper, the only time we retrieved anything was on the first load with flashvars HTH A. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lieven Cardoen Sent: 25 octobre 2006 09:50 To: Flashcoders mailing list; Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: [Flashcoders] SCORM multi api wrapper Guys, sorry for posting on both mailing lists, but I don't know where it belongs.

RE: [Flashcoders] Event Listener and Levvels
You have the answer in your question ! ;)
I create a listener at level0
If you know the level of your listener, then you should use it to reference
it in your function calls.
But all that depends on how your projects is built. Is your code on _level0?
is it loaded in another swf ? Etc ...
So to return to the question,
You should try this :
_level40.my_cb1.addEventListener(change,_level0.comb_fill);
(or use this.comb_fill instead of _level0.comb_fill)
So you are sure to send to right reference of your listener to the other
combo_box in the right scope ...
Haven't tried it but I believe this should work !
Bonne chance !

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Passing SWF parameters with MovieClipLoader?
Oh sorry for misunderstanding, To answer you question, I don't know if it is a garanteed behavior but if it works, that could be the case, because flashvars are set before the swf actually loads in your page. That onLoadComplete behaves in a similar way seems plausible. Further testing is required to say if it's a solid assumption. But if it works, use it ! :) Alain -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Harding Sent: 17 octobre 2006 12:08 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Passing SWF parameters with MovieClipLoader? I may not have been clear - I understand that if you actually want to _use_ the new clip, you need to wait for onLoadInit. What I was trying to do is set parameters on the new clip _before_ it gets loaded, similar to setting flashvars in HTML, or setting properties on an empty clip before calling MovieClip.loadMovie(). And what I found is that you can do this by setting those parameters in response to onLoadComplete. -John On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yup, Tested and True, it's definitely onLoadInit that does the trick, because it is fired when the first frame of your loaded SWF is played. onLoadComplete only tells you that the SWF bytes have completed loading before it actually begins playing. the rest of the onLoad... events for the MovieClipLoader seem to be there only for the purpose of load progress monitoring. Of course you can put them at any use you see fit but basically that is waht they do. onLoadInit tells you that your SWF is ready for manipulation. HTH Alain John Harding wrote: Hello all, I have a project where I'd like to use MovieClipLoader to load an external SWF, so that I can be notified when the load is complete. However, it appears that MovieClipLoader.loadClip() does not allow one to pass parameters (i.e. flashVars) to the SWF like MovieClip.loadMovie() does. As an experiment, I tried setting my SWF parameters in response to onLoadComplete(), and it appears to work - onLoadComplete is called before the loaded SWF initializes, and the parameters set in onLoadComplete() are set on the root clip of the loaded SWF. So my question is, does anyone know if this is guaranteed behavior? The Macromedia docs all seem to indicate that onLoadComplete() is completely useless and one should use onLoadInit() (and yes, I'm still using onLoadInit for everything other than the SWF parameters).

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadVars to XML object
If you do a sendAndLoad allready, you should try to define your xml in the
onData event of the LoadVars.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
lv.onData = Delegate.create(this, parseData); // onData returns the source
of the file as a string so the parameters are passed without the need of
arguments
lv.sendAndLoad( ... ); // Do your stuff here
function parseData(src:String):Void {
xml.parseXML(src);
// or this should work as well
// var newXML:XML = new XML(src);

RE: [Flashcoders] Weird image download problems in IE
Have you tried using the MovieClipLoader class ?
It has an event very usefull called onLoadError . It gives you the following
informations (quote from the livedocs):
errorCode:String - A string that explains the reason for the failure,
either URLNotFound or LoadNeverCompleted.
httpStatus:Number [optional] - (Flash Player 8 only) The HTTP status code
returned by the server. For example, a status code of 404 indicates that the
server has not found anything that matches the requested URI. For more
information about HTTP status codes, see sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the HTTP
specification at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt.;

Subject: [Flashcoders] Weird image download problems in IE
We're running into a really strange problem with image downloads in Flash
when running in IE and was wondering if anyone else has seen something like
this or has any ideas on what I could do to fix it.
We need to have the Flash movie be able to download arbitrary images from
the web and display them. I also need to be able to tell whether the
download worked or not, so I can display an error if it failed or manipulate
the image if it loaded.
The problem we're running into is that in IE the loader class will tell us
the image failed to load even though it worked fine. Here's some test code
we used to test:
---
import mx.controls.Alert
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, my_ldr, 10);
var poLoaderListener = new Object();
poLoaderListener.oScope = this;
poLoaderListener.complete = function(oEvent)
{mx.controls.Alert.show(oEvent.total); };
poLoaderListener.progress = function() {};
my_ldr.addEventListener('complete', poLoaderListener);
my_ldr.addEventListener('progress', poLoaderListener);
my_ldr.load(IMAGE_URL);
---
When running this in Firefox it works fine, and the alert box gives us the
right value. However, in IE when trying this the alert box pops up with a
-1, telling us the download failed. However, the image still shows up.
The only thing I've been able to figure out is that the speed of the
download has something to do with it. In the actual product we're
downloading the images through a server that acts as a sort of proxy which
caches the images. The first time we hit it the proxy has to download the
source image before returning it to the client. This is when we see the
problem. Later attempts seem to work fine as the download happens faster
(the server cached the image so it doesn't have to redownload it).
To simplify the test I took the proxy out of the loop and threw a bandwidth
limiter on the server that had the image I was testing.
When throttling it back to act like a 56k modem I could reproduce the error
in IE. It still worked fine (just really slow) in Firefox.
Has anyone seen this before? It's causing serious problems, as we need to
be able to tell if the image downloaded successfully or not.
Any ideas of ways to get around this or fix it? Note that we have to
support Flash 7+.
Thanks!
-Andy

You should try OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org, It's similar to Windows Office, but open source and you have an application that reads PowerPoints.

RE: [Flashcoders] ppt to flash
I believe you can keep your transitions effects and animations with Impress (OpenOffice's PowerPoint editor) But the output is not that great looking if I remember right. I was in a e-learning company before my current job and we were looking for something to replace the Breeze plugin for PowerPoint. I've stumbled upon OpenOffice in my searches and tested it a little, It did the job, even added some navigation buttons to switch between slides. I don't remember if you could customize the look easily or if the slides were in separate swf files. In the end the company went for writing their own PowerPoint Plug-in in C# but I didn't see the end of it because I left before it was completed.

However, from what I've heard the next version of Powerpoint will not have the VBScript support anymore (I guess MS specifically says it shouldn't be used for things like this, so they're killing it), so I'm not sure how good of a long-term solution that would be. What parts of the PPT stuff are you trying to convert? If you want animations and sound and such then it would be pretty difficult, but if all you want are the images then you could just use PPT to save the slides out as images (just pick the JPG format in the Save As... dialog) and then have flash use those images for the slides. You'd have to manually write the Flash code to handle the switching of slides and such, but it's an easy way to get all the images you need. -Andy On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You should try OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org, It's similar to Windows Office, but open source and you have an application that reads PowerPoints.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Passing SWF parameters with MovieClipLoader?
Yup, Tested and True, it's definitely onLoadInit that does the trick, because it is fired when the first frame of your loaded SWF is played. onLoadComplete only tells you that the SWF bytes have completed loading before it actually begins playing. the rest of the onLoad... events for the MovieClipLoader seem to be there only for the purpose of load progress monitoring. Of course you can put them at any use you see fit but basically that is waht they do. onLoadInit tells you that your SWF is ready for manipulation. HTH Alain John Harding wrote: Hello all, I have a project where I'd like to use MovieClipLoader to load an external SWF, so that I can be notified when the load is complete. However, it appears that MovieClipLoader.loadClip() does not allow one to pass parameters (i.e. flashVars) to the SWF like MovieClip.loadMovie() does. As an experiment, I tried setting my SWF parameters in response to onLoadComplete(), and it appears to work - onLoadComplete is called before the loaded SWF initializes, and the parameters set in onLoadComplete() are set on the root clip of the loaded SWF. So my question is, does anyone know if this is guaranteed behavior? The Macromedia docs all seem to indicate that onLoadComplete() is completely useless and one should use onLoadInit() (and yes, I'm still using onLoadInit for everything other than the SWF parameters).

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Classes and Preloading ...
Hi Stephen, The best way to use a preloader is to put it in a different swf movie that loads the one you wish to preload, that way you'll be sure it will load correctly. HTH A.

You can select what frame of a movie to load your classes on, but what if you want to load all classes (except one class - in this case the Preloaded class) later than the first frame ??? so that your preloader is working straight away ???

RE: [Flashcoders] Scripted Angled Motion
Hi Kevin,
It's quite simple actually. If you know the angle (it need to be in radians)
all you need after that is the speed of motion. To know the movement in the
x axis it's the cosine of the angle, for the y axis, it's the sine of the
angle so you will have the following :
mc._x = Math.cos(angle)*speed;
mc._y = Math.sin(angle)*speed;
And here is a quick example for that :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var object:MovieClip = this.object;
var angle:Number = 45;
var DEGtoRAD:Number = Math.PI/180;
angle *= DEGtoRAD;
var speed:Number = 5;
object.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this, moveObject);
function moveObject():Void {
object._x += speed*Math.cos(angle);
object._y += speed*Math.sin(angle);
var leftBorder:Number = object._x-object._width;
var rightBorder:Number = object._x+object._width;
var topBorder:Number = object._y-object._height;
var bottomBorder:Number = object._y+object._height;
var initY:Number = -object._height;
var initX:Number = -object._width;
if (leftBorder = Stage.width) {
object._x = initX ;
} else if (rightBorder = initX) {
object._x = Stage.width + object._width;
} else if (bottomBorder = initY ){
object._y = Stage.height + object._height;
} else if (topBorder = Stage.height) {
object._y = initY;
}
}
In this code you can use Degree angles and then convert them to radians.
This will give you some kind of asteroids game type of motion.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Scripted Angled Motion
Hey all,
I'm trying to do something, but the mathematics of it are messing with my
head.
I've got a clip that I want to move in a specific direction (angle) without
giving an end target. When the clip is offstage, I'll simply reset it and
trigger it again accordingly.
I don't need for it to ease or anything fancy, just move on a designated
angle.

RE: [Flashcoders] Movieclip event hook back to class instance?
Hi Dan,
I think that what you'll have to do is create your own event and dispatch it
using the EventDispatcher Class.
First you'll need to initialize your outro mc with event dispatcher
// in mc timeline's first frame
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
// further in the mc on chosen frame
this.dispatchEvent( {target:this, type:onFrameLabel, label:endOutro});
Now all you need is a listener object for that event in your code :
import mx.utils.Delegate; // or whatever Delegate class you use - Proxy or
dynamicflash's Delegate
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onFrameLabel = Delegate.create(this, myActions);
outroMC.addEventListener(onFrameLabel, listener);
function myActions(evtObj:Object) {
trace(evtObj.target+ Dispatched event +evtObj.type+ at frame
label +evtObj.label);
// do whatever you want here
if (evtObj.label == endOutro) {
trace(end of outro);
}
}
If you don't want to use the timeline you could use setInterval (or
setTimeout if you use Flash 8) to delay the event dispatching to a certain
amount of time.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Movieclip event hook back to class instance?
Hi all!
I have a (hopefully not too ignorant) question relating to movieclips
created on the fly.
Basically, I have a preloader class that is generic and reusable.
It's called from whatever object that does dynamic loading of content and
then in turn invokes a movieclip from a passed symbol name(can be anything,
as long as a basic movieclip structure is followed). It all works great.
However, when the loading is done I want the dynamically created mc to play
an outro animation that is preanimated in the movieclip (as opposed to
animated via AS, that would be easy ;) ). My problem is finding a way for
the preloader class instance to tell when the movieclip reaches a certain
frame or frame label (and is done with the outro). I can't find a suitable
event to hook into? I guess I was looking for something like
mc.onframelabel to hook a function to, I guess that was naive. :)
Can I in some way create a hook myself, or do I have to create a watcher
object that checks each frame where the playhead is in my dynamic loader
movieclip? Would certainly work, but it's not very elegant. My goal is to
keep the preloader movieclip code-free.
Anyway, I hope I managed to describe the problem. Apologies for any
ignorance and any terms/keywords used out of context. I'm pretty new to more
advanced actionscript, but have many moons of general coding experience. :)
Many thanks in advance,
Dan

if you want to convert the XML to anative AS object you could try out
Sephiroth's XML2Object class

or the XMLObject class which is similar but with a few more
functionnalities.

import it.sephiroth.XML2Object;
var XML_FILE:String = http://my.server.com/myapp/xmlfile; +
i_id + .xml;
var oXML:XML = new XML();
var ObjFromXML:XML2Object = new XML2Object();
var myObject:Object = new Object();
var thisRef = this;
oXML.ignoreWhite = true;
oXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myObject = ObjFromXML.parseXML(oXML);
thisRef.accessObject();
}else{
//you error code here
}
};
oXML.load(XML_FILE);
function accessObject():Void {
var i:Number = -1;
while (++i myObject.bgColor.length) {
trace(bgColor = +myObject.bgColor[i]); // if you have
more than one bgColor tag in your XML, the class will convert it to an array
}
}
This is an example of what you can do with that class. This would save
you the time of creating your own Object.

That looks like something I can tweak.
But, id do still have a question or two.
It seems it might go easier on me if I rdeifine the XML to use just child

way to get at an attribute of your array then say:
var g_id:Number = itemAr[i].firstChild.attribute.group.nodeValue;
var bgcolor:String =
groupAr[g_id].firstChild.attribute.bgcolor.nodeValue;
I mean, I did a little searching on the web and found some XPath
documentation, thanks to Ramon's note, so is there something like.
var g_id:Number = XPathAPI.selectInteger(itemAr[i], atribute::lang);
var bgcolor:String = XPathAPI.selectString(groupAr[g_id],
attribute::bgcolor);
Hmm, even my examples, if they exists, seem verbose. But if it works,
then
I can get the stuff done I need too.
I guess the ideal would be for me to build some 'tweaked' object so
that I
could use.
- ideal code ---
var data:Data = new Data(http://my.server.com/myapp/xmlfile; + i_id +
.xml);
while (Data.items()) // iterator sets internal pointer to internal item

{
var bgcolor:String = Data.getBgColor(); // for example looks up the
Group
by the current item's group attribute.
...
// build display stuff
}

If this is just a pipe dream, let me know. I think something like my
ideal
code example above would work great, because I won't be building the
flash
for the application, and my flash designer is a little leary of
actionscripting. And I knew conceptually that flash could read XML.
If I
can give her an object like that, then I know she can build what we need.

To do this, I entered class name as AS 2.0 Class in Export for Actionscript dialog. All this works OK (of course). But under some circumstances I'd like this clip to be associated with ANOTHER class (say, MyClass2). class MyClass2 extends MovieClip ... How do I acomplish this in good OOP style? Few ways I can imagine right now are: 1) myClip_mc.prototype.__proto__ = MyClass2.prototype; 2) Create an instantiate() method in MyClass2 to re-write all props/methods of the target clip with ones of MyClip2 (similar to EventDispatcher). Both ways above don't seem good from OOP point of view, though... Can anyone offer something more elegant? -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

Re: [Flashcoders] good OOP way to re-assign class to clip
Gregory, I wasn’t sure, that’s why I proposed 2 ways, but I just checked and neither will let you redefine the class associated with a movieclip. So I guess it’s back to square one. So far you have to create an new instance for the class you want to load using Object.registerclass and attachMovie. I can’t think of any other way right now. I know it’s not what you had in mind, but maybe someone else can think of something or try something out. Good luck !

Re: [Flashcoders] MTASC and spaces in classpath
Escaping spaces is fine in the Terminal, but not in Eclipse using Flashout. That's the issue here, how to define the Class Path in Eclipse. I've read a post about it at http://www.pixelmotive.de/blog/archives/2005/06/fame_on_mac.php Basically what it says is to create a shell script that catches the call to mtasc then echoes the full mtasc command line into a seperate shell scripts and returns mtasc's output. Here is a shell script that works for me, you can save it anywhere and give it a name with the .sh extension make it executable like this chmod a+x locmtasc.sh and here is the shell script itself #!/bin/sh echo #!/bin/sh subc.sh echo /usr/local/bin/mtasc $@ subc.sh chmod a+x subc.sh ./subc.sh exit $? note that the shell will create a shell file for you, you don't need to create an empty one yourself. once this is done go in the Eclipse Preferences - Flashout in the Location of mtasc.exe enter the path to your locmtasc.sh : /Users/username/Documents/workspace/locmtasc.sh and voilà you sould be able to make Flashout work with mtasc The thing is that Eclipse adds quotes around the Macromedia Class Path, but it fails to parse correctly through Flashout. With this shell script the problem is solved. Alain Chris Allen wrote: Erixtekila is right. you need to escape those spaces. A quick way to get your paths written correctly is to open up the directory that you are targeting in the Finder, then open Terminal. Next drag the folder in the Finder into the Terminal window and you will see how the path should be written there. You can then copy it from the terminal if you wish. It might be overkill, but it's nice to know that you got it right. especially with really long paths.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem with Delegate and scope
Hi Manuel,
The thing about Delegate is that you can't just call it like that. It is
supposed to be used either with eventHandling onSomething = or with
setInterval, setTimeOut. Here is a link that will make you see the light
http://www.osflash.org/flashcoders/as2?s=delegate
So for exemple you could do in your code
ew_netConn.onBWCheck = Delegate.create(this,yourFunction);
Hope this clarifies some things about Delegate.

Well In one of my classes within this function I have the delegate being

delegated function is not firing. As you can see I had to use the old
viewRef workaround because the other Delegate attempt had also not been
firing. If anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong it would help
immensely because I keep coming up against the same hurdle every time and if
I'm writing my Delegate wrong and could figure that out it would increase my
productivity greatly today.
public function initNetConnection(){
viewRef=this;
netConn=new NetConnection();
if(adMode==stream){

var appURI = rtmp://...;
//connection is of type streaming
ew_netConn.onBWCheck = function(arg) {

trace(BWDone);
EW.bw = bw;
EW.Video.setBwAndBuf();
viewRef.setFileUrl();
//Begin playing the FLV video and audio based on the init

Delegate.create(this,audioOn);
}else{
Delegate.create(this, audioOff);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] onLoop event for sound
Hi Mark,
you could monitor the position of the sound comparred to it's duration,
that way you know when it arrives at the end of the sound.
if (sound.position == sound.duration) {
loopCount++;
}
In this case, the loop count will be made at the end of the sound.

hi,
imho a better solution is to use the sound.onSoundComplete event:
mySound.onSoundComplete = function() { loopCount++ }
it is fired next frame after the sound ends. if you start your sound using a
script like mySound.start(0,) it may be your sound restarts (and resets
sound.position) before the next frame events calls your check.

Re: [Flashcoders] Looping an external mp3 file seamlessly
Hi Paul,
it's more a class than an extension, the mxp just installed it for you
in the correct folder.
It should be in
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\ca\daroost\SoundLoop2.as
If you go inside the Flash IDE and open the HelpPanel, you will see a SoundLoop
item that you can open and browse for all help concerning the use of the class.
some basic usage is as follow :
import ca.daroost.SoundLoop2;
var mySong:SoundLoop2;
mySong = new SoundLoop2():
mySong.loadStreams(loop1.mp3,0,75);
and you have your file looping with 75ms removed at the end, which
usually removes the gap at the end of the mp3 file.
If you have more questions, you can mail me directly.
Hope this gets you in the right direction.
Alain

Subject: [Flashcoders] Looping Loaded Sound
Hey Gang!
Has anyone had trouble getting dynamically loaded MP3s to loop?
I'm having a bit of trouble with this. Can Flash do this?
What's the deal, 'yo?

Re: [Flashcoders] AttachMovie - where is x=0,y=0?
the initial 0,0 point for any clip, stage, button, etc .. is at the top left corner. It's allways best to position your instances that way as well, for it will be easier later on to manipulate it's positioning. Alain eric dolecki wrote: initial attach is at 0,0 of the stage. perhaps you need to check your info panel to see that the triangle you created doesn't actually have its registration point on the bottom left point of the triangle. e.d.

Re: [Flashcoders] .onLoad works in AS1, breaks in Flash 7
Hi Miles, as Rahul stated, you should try to put the L of Load to
lowercase load, also it would be best to put your url in a variable :
var myUrl:String = http://+host+feed_issuedates.php;;
varGetDates.load(myUrl);
it's cleaner and you can reuse myUrl variable anytime you want, instead
of writing down the whole thing.
as for local to network testing goes, Flash 7 is not as severe as Flash
8, but it is good to set your crossdomain.xml, it often blocks your code
from linking to outside sources.
Try changing the case of the 'L' and see where this gets you ...
sometimes it's just a small syntax error that takes your project down !
good luck,
Alain

Hi Alain,
It's not working in Flash 7 b'cos u r using upper case 'L' in Load method.
Try using this varGetDates.load( http://; + host +
feed_issuedates.php); a lower case 'l' for Load and this should work in
both the versions of Flash.

Rahul

Alain,
I've adapted the code somewhat, to the extent it closely mimics the
examples whown in the docs. For example varGetDates = New LoadVars; is
changed to var varGetDates:LoadVars = new LoadVars();, and I've added
type declarations to the other variables declared in the very first
frame.
success is not declared anywhere, though now it has :Boolean added
to it.
I've also added the crossdomain.xml file, my thinking being that the
data was not being returned because I was doing a debug test on my
local machine, but the data and scripts are at www.allnovascotia.com.
I'm finding this very puzzling, and of course had assumed it would be
a simple save as Flash 7, compile and we're done scenario.
Thanks for responding - Miles

Have you verified that you compiled in Flash 7 using AS1 and not AS2 ?
if not you might need to adapt your code a little to work with AS2
compiler.

This code works in AS1 (Flash 6) but success never occurs in Flash 7.
What could I be doing wrong?

varGetDates.Load( http://; + host + feed_issuedates.php);
varGetDates.onLoad = function( success )

issuedates = issuedates + string( today.getMonth() + 1)
+ -;
issuedates = issuedates + string( today.getDate() );
} // if(success)
etc., etc.
}
}
Note: Host is set in the first frame through an inclusion: #include
settings.as. Host shows up in the degugger variables window as
www.allnovascotia.com/test/ What is passed to varGetDates.Load is
http://www.allnovascotia.com/test/feed_issuedates.php;
A trace( varGetDates.issuedates) inserted immediately before
if(success) returns an empty string. Same statement, following the
if(success) is never evaluated.
No conversion was followed, the previous Flash MX version was opened
using Flash MX 2004, and then simply Save As'd to a new location;
when warned that the file would no longer be openable in Flash MX I
clicked on OK.
Have I missed something really basic?
I'm compiling as ActionScript 1 in the Publish settings.
A steer in the right direction will be greatly appreciated - Miles

Re: [Flashcoders] dispatch event in 8
Hi Amir,
I believe you have a scope problem here. The compiler doesn't know wich
object is dispatching the event.
You should use your dispatcher object or instance to call that method.
Also you now need to initialize your dispatcher object to the
EventDispatcher class
for exemple :
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
function dispatchEvent() {};
function addEventListener() {};
function removeEventListener() {};
var myDispatcher:Object = new Object();
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(myDispatcher);
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onEvent = function() {
trace(onEvent triggered);
};
myDispatcher.addEventListener(onEvent, myListener);
then later in your code you can trigger the event on a button click like
this :
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
sendEvent();
};
function sendEvent():Void {
var eventObject:Object = {target:myDispatcher, type:'onEvent'};
myDispatcher.dispatchEvent(eventObject);
}
This is how you should use events in Flash 8, read the docs, look for
tutorials and you'll see similar examples or better
Hope this helps
Alain

It works ok in flash 7. Anyone knows what could be the problem? I made
component and this code is in components class. Are there some new things I
need to watch out for in flash 8 related to event dipatching, initialising
dispatcher, class, component, linkage, etc.? Thank in advance...

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with Key class in Flash 8
It looks like the listener stops listening to the first pressed key and
monitors the onKeyUp only for the second one. So it might not be the Key
class that is concerned here ... maybe event handling ? I can't really
tell, would have to know more on how these work together.
The thing is, that if 2 keys are pressed at the same time we would
expect to see a trace output like this (for those who don't want to or
can't try it themselves):
CODE:
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() //change _myListener to myListener
{
trace(down: + Key.getCode());
};
myListener.onKeyUp = function()
{
trace(up: + Key.getCode());
};
Key.addListener(myListener);
Expected Output for key pressed A (65) and C (67) where A is
pressed first then C, then A is released then C:
down: 65
down: 67
down: 67
up: 65
down: 67
down: 67
up: 67
but instead we get this in Flash 8
down: 65
down: 67
down: 67
down: 67
down: 67
up: 67
works as expected in Flash 7
That's all I can say for now in this case ...
