Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically attaching a movie clip to a class/object
You should be assigning the movieclip reference being returned from attachMovie to your myPost variable: myPost = _root.attachMovie("signPost", "myPost", _root.getNextHighestDepth()); Without that, your "myPost" variable is gonna be pointing to nothing. ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with listener for custom class (AS3)
>From your cssLoaded and xmlLoaded methods, dispatch an event each, announcing the completion of load. eg public function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void { newXML = XML(event.target.data); dispatchEvent(new Event("xmlLoaded")); } And on the timeline, you can add a listener to that event by doing this: var fileForThis:fileImports = new fileImports("courseInfo.xml","styles.css"); fileForThis.addEventListener("xmlLoaded", onXMLLoad); function onXMLLoad() { // xml loaded now } Of course thats not the best way to code ( you could create a custom event object to pass more data etc, ) but the above should get you started.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 Sound.stop()
If you had the sound imported into your library, assigned a linkage ID, and then attached it using Sound class's attachSound method, you'd have a 'idName'. If you loaded your audio clip using loadSound method, you wouldn't have a linkageID. So don't worry abt it. >>"Sound has no static field stop".

Re: [Flashcoders] Casting to Array
Danny, You can use an Array method like slice() or concat([]), which will create a duplicate of ur original array, and pass that to your function. So your code would become: function generic(tObj:Object) { if (tObj instanceof Array) { doMyArrayFunction(tObj.slice()) } else { doSomethingElse() } } function doMyArrayFunction(tArr:Array) { ... } Unless there is some compelling reason that you have to pass around the same array's reference, this should help. Cheers, Arul Prasad. On 7/23/07, Danny Kodicek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Danny, > > I'm still not entirely clear on what you're attempting to do. > Can you show more code to give us a bigger picture? Thanks to everyone for suggestions and comments. Many of them, I suspect, would suffer from the same problem, though. For Steven, here's the problem in a bit more detail: function generic(tObj:Object) { if (tObj instanceof Array) { doMyArrayFunction(tObj) } else { doSomethingElse() } } function doMyArrayFunction(tArr:Array) { ... } This throws a compiler error because in the first function tObj is defined as an Object and the compiler isn't clever enough to realise that by the time we reach doMyArrayFunction it has to be of type Array. If the class I was trying to cast it to was anything except Array, I could use something like this: function generic(tObj:Object) { if (tObj instanceof MyClass) { doMyFunction(MyClass(tObj)) } else { doSomethingElse() } But because Array has a special constructor, Array(tObj) returns [tObj] instead of leaving it unchanged and just casting it to an Array. The solution I used works much the same way as Ian's: essentially it takes advantage of the fact that Flash's compiler isn't able to check the object type of sub-items of an object or array, so it ignores them (and assumes you've done your job correctly). John's solution is probably better from a strict OO standpoint, but mine works well enough, so...

Re: [Flashcoders] Hi List!
If stripping off all html from an input textfield is what you are looking for, You will be able to do this in a simple process: I'll put in a lil function in here: function stripHTML(input:String):String { var util_txt:TextField = _root.createTextField("util_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), -100,-100,100,100); util_txt._visible = false; util_txt.html = true; util_txt.htmlText = input_txt.text ; var output:String = util_txt.text; util_txt.removeTextField(); return output; } // Now to use it, assuming the input textfield's instance name is input_txt, var strippedText:String = stripHTML(input_txt.text); the strippedText variable will have the valid text, stripped off from the html that the user typed in. What the function does is, provide the text in ur input textfield into a html textfield, and then retrieve the plain text from the html textfield. This will make sure that the text does not have any html tags in it.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to write a class that loads XML?
1. May be coz you never really created the XML object. You'll need to define the XML object as well, not just declare the variable. 2. Try using the Delegate class.

Now the code: import mx.utils.Delegate; class XMLoader { private var postXML:XML; private function parseXML () { //do something with postXML } public function XMLoader (__file) { postXML = new XML(); postXML.ignoreWhite = true; postXML.load(__file); postXML.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, parseXML);; } } Hope that helps, -- Arul Prasad http://arulprasad.blogspot.com On 4/27/07, sebastian chedal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello Flash coders. :) Could anyone help me to fix my class code?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject
createClassObject and createObject (and a few more) methods are defined in the mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions class, and are added to MovieClip's prototype when UIObjectExtensions gets 'initialized'. This happens, if you have a UIComponent in your library. So createClassObject method will work, ONLY if you got a UIComponent based on macromedia's V2 architecture in your library. createClassObject essentially boils down to a attachMovie internall. I think the createClassObject ( and subsequently createObject) implement a 'enhanced' depthTable, which basically helps the components like ComboBox work properly. Its bedtime for me ( its singapore standard time here!), (and thanks to the beer :P ), so I can't write any more. Hope all the above info helps you. regards, Arul Prasad.

Like this: lista.addItem(categorias[n + 1], [categorias[n + 0], categorias[n + 3]]) Now, to access the second element, you can access it as lista.sellectedItem.data[1] ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't access mc
But, Arul, what is the advantage of putting it in an onLoad function instead of the constructor? Just to be on the safer side, thats all :) Try this: add a trace each in the constructor and the onLoad. And test your movie. You'll see that the constructor gets called even before onLoad. Now, if your movie clip had a V2 component instance in it, and you added code in the constructor to addEventListener to the component,it wont work. Because the component wouldnt have initialize by the time of the call to the constructor. Placing that code instead in the onLoad method makes sure that it will work. ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using arraynotation
If its mx.core.UIObject's destroyObject that you are talking about, destroyObject takes the instanceName of the object, not the instance reference. you'll just have to pass the instance name as a string. So, your code should look somethng like: function killElements() { for (var i:Number = 0; i < 35; i++) { this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theThumb" + i); this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theHit" + i); } } Hope that helps! ~Arul Prasad http://arulprasad.blogspot.com On 8/10/06, dnk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Andy Stone wrote: > Have you tried... > > this._targetMc.destroyObject(eval("slidemenu.theThumb" + i)); > > > Sometimes I find eval works when [] doesn't. -Andy > > I have not tried that - I will give it a go in a few hours.

Re: [Flashcoders] Video project - advice
Also - does the FLVPlayback component work with Flash player 7.0? NO. You wont be able to publish the FLA with a FLVPlayback component, to Flash Player 7.0 swf. If you can get ur clients ( or boss ) to agree for Flash player 8, you can use FLVPlayback component. FLVPlayback works well with local FLV playback and HTTP progressive download. I just did a FLV player with FLVPlayback, configured for FVSS streaming and I had a few local FLVs for testing. I had the playlist on a XML file, and so had 2 versions of the playlist sml. One which pointed to the FVSS FLV paths and another that pointed to the local files. The only issue with RTMP was that my office proxy server wasn't letting the flv stream through. Had to fiddle with it for a while. Otherwise its a pretty simple thing!

When I reference the width and height of the component in my class, the values are always the default which is essentially the size of the boundingbox_mc. When I initally drag the component onto the stage, it is 300x200. If I size it to 300x100, the component gets physically smaller but the the contents don't resize. I've thought I might need to write my own setSize method but it seems fruitless because the width properties haven't updated. --- John laPlante Carnegie Mellon University ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting the class name?
:) that will work - but won't be feasible, unless you are checking against a selected set of classes. If they are classes that you write, the best thing to do would be have a variable inside ur class right away called 'ClassName' and use it.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback problems.
You should be able to change the contentPath property and change the currently playing video. You can have more than one video load into the FLVPlayback component by adding more videoPlayers inside the same component. You can achieve this using the activeVideoPlayerIndex and the visibleVideoPlayerIndexproperties. Now that you have said you are picking up the FLV's path from a XML, if I can take a wild guess, here, check this too: before assigning the FLV file's path to the contentPath property, check if you are actually passing a proper string value (trace out the type of the value). Since you are picking it up from a XML, you might be assigning a XMLNode instead of its nodeValue. Hope it helps. Regards, ~Arul Prasad.

Currently I have made it work by using the attachMovie() function and not keeping the FLV Playback component on the stage. I am using Flash 8 Professional and FMS 2. Could I be missing something?

instanceof does not return anything - It is not a method, but an operator.

Re: [Flashcoders] Overflowing dynamic text fields

Re: [Flashcoders] >> While and Var
Dunno why I copy pasted 2 times! The only changes were in the three lines where I replaced dtd with _root[dtd] You could use _root. dtd as well. Of course you will have to optimize the code. var dtd; var spa; var spa1; var _txt:TextField; var dt = 0; while (dt<=99) { dtd = "var"+dt; spa = dt*5; spa1 = (dt*15)+45; _root.createTextField(dtd, dt, 0, spa1, 100, 15); _txt = _root[dtd]; _txt.text=spa1; _txt.border=true; _txt.selectable=false; dt++; } Reason why it didnt work in your case - when you said "dtd.text" you were actually trying to access a text property of the string dtd. And it silently failed ( coz dtd was not strictly typed) You would've caught these kinda issues if you had used strict data typing :) ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] How can I display a tall document?
1. set Stage.scalemode="noScale'; 2. set textBox.autoSize= true and then textBox.width = num; This will make the textBox stretch heightwise, and fix the width to a particular value (num). 3. After you set the text to the textfield, pass that height to the javascript code in the container html page. 4. Resize your flash Object size accordingly using JS. (getItemByID will help u get the object) This should work.
