[Flashcoders] String to object
Hi,
I'm migrating some stuff from AS2 to AS3
In AS2 I can do this:
function doSomething(btnName:String)
{
_root[btnName]visible = false;
}
doSomething(exit_btn);
In AS3
I want to do the same:
public function doSomething(btnName:String)
{
//XXX here I don't know what I should do
}
I hope someone can help me
Bart

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Tony, You just have to access them from the scope they where born to. I can access them indeed in the scope where they are created. But the problem is that I can't add other assets (movieclips) to that scope. I want this because I want to separate code from viewing assets, and import different templates. I want for example to put my video object on the scope of my imported assets so I can mask my video object. I want to use a mask of the imported assets and I want to put some imported assets like a shadow border on top of my video. This is only possible if I get my video object on the same scope as the imported assets or if I get the assets that I want on top of the video object in a different movieclip (duplicatemovieclip). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Lee Sent: donderdag 10 augustus 2006 6:49 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library Bart, I don't find a solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some movieclip on the main.swf.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
I think I will be forced to use the bitmap class of flash 8 to take a bitmap of the imported assets and copy thos bitmaps on to the stage :-s This has 2 big disadvantages: - processor overkill, first load a movieclip into a container, take a bitmap copy of that movieclip, create new movieclip, put that bitmap into the new movieclip, remove the movieclip from the container (imagine this for 500 assets ...) - the quality of a bitmap is not that of a vector, so I will have to make the vector movieclips quit big so I don't lose to much detail when I make a bitmap and a user scales his window to a bigger screen. I'm getting disappointed by Flash, how old is this program? And you can still don't have a good working runtime external library. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Lee Sent: donderdag 10 augustus 2006 11:38 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library I want this because I want to separate code from viewing assets, and import different templates.

RE: [Flashcoders] Scrollpane issue
Have you tried setting your max position like this? myScrollpane.vPosition = myScrollpane.maxVPosition; -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Tinfow Sent: dinsdag 8 augustus 2006 21:43 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Scrollpane issue We're having an odd issue with the ScrollPane component included with Flash 8 Pro. Testing on Flash Player 9. The scrollpane content contains a textfield that loads HTML Text from an XML document. The text displays correctly, but when scrolling, weird things happen. Using the mouse wheel, the top couple of lines of text get lost underneath an image until you scroll back up to the top. If you scroll with the scrollpane's up and down buttons, the text on the very bottom of the content clip is never shown...it doesn't scroll far enough. It seems the only reliable way to scroll is to drag the scrollbar up and down, but I can't expect users to do this. Is this just an issue with Flash Player 9, am I doing something wrong, or is the ScrollPane just buggy? To see the problem, click on Rooms/Reservations, then Sussex. http://128.177.1.30/NEW/main.html Thanks, Randy Tinfow IMAGE PLANT ___ 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] LoadMovie library
Hi Naz, I tried that but it also didn't help because I need to put some mc of my main.swf between some library assets on the stage. And I don't find a solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some movieclip on the main.swf. I also tried swapDepths, but that also didn't help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlos Nazareno Sent: dinsdag 8 augustus 2006 18:23 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library How about if you loadMovie your entire Library SWF into your main SWF, then access your library files via mainSWF.librarySWF.libraryAsset syntax?

[Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Hi,
I looked on the internet and did not find the answer. I read a few times
can't be done
What I want to do is load movieclips in my main.swf from a library.swf and
put those movieclips on the root or put movieclips from the root in the
controller of my loadmovie.
Secondly I want to add a movieclip who is in my main.swf library to the
controller_mc. But this is not possible.
I also try to put a movieclip which I loaded from the library.swf to the
root. But also that is not possible.
I cannot make use of the shared library because the name of the library.swf
should be dynamic.
Here is the code:
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf into the controller_mc. This
works.
Where I load a circleRoot mc from the library of the current swf to the
controller_mc. This does not work.
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf onto the current root. This
also does not work.
this.createEmptyMovieClip(controller_mc, 1);
var libMovie = library.swf;
controller_mc.loadMovie(libMovie);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var tLoaded, tBytes;
tLoaded = controller_mc.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = controller_mc.getBytesTotal();
var percentage = int(tLoaded*100/tBytes);
if (isNaN(tBytes) || tBytes 4) return;
if (tLoaded/tBytes = 1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//attach circle from library.swf to controller_mc in
the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circle, circle_mc,
controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //OK
//attach circleRoot from main.swf library to
controller_mc in the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circleRoot,
circle2_mc, , controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
//attach circle from library.swf to the root of my
main.swf
_root. attachMovie circle, circle_mc,
_root.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
}
}
Is there perhaps an other way to load external movieclips from an other swf
(library.swf) onto the root of the main.swf?
Thx,
Bart

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Thx for your reaction.
Unfortunately a shared library for each movieclip, would result in over 1000
swf's and this all for just calling some movieclips from an external
library, is overkill I think.
I hope there is still a better way for doing this.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
First of all, try MovieClipLoader to load your swf's..
If you don't want to use a runtime shared library, then I'd suggest
making each movieclip you want to load at runtime a separate swf.
You can export MovieClips directly from your library.
also, as long as it is set to export for actionscript, you can attach
any MC you want, to any other MC you want at runtime.
