[Flashcoders] [AS3] TextField Bug: Text outside of the TF
hi, I ve'got an input TextField. What I want to do is to reset the TF content and put some prompt text inside, which I set using AS (e.g. 'your email' prompt). The problem: If before resetting the TF, the text in it is longer than the TF width, Flash doesn't put the prompt text where it is supposed to (left-aligned inside the textfield), but further to the left outside of the TF. Actually the offset is more or less equal to the diference between the previous text length and the TF width. In my real project the misplaced text is visible right away, and when I tried to recreate the problem in a test .fla, it becomes visible after resizing the test player window. The text returns into the right place after clicking on the textfield (and no, setting focus progammaticaly does not help). Have you ever encountered such problem and know any solution?

Re: [Flashcoders] CS3: "Test Movie" vs. published swf (or, how to update test player?)
Just one qiuick thing. the only way to update the test player in Flash that I found is installing latest Flash update. It helped in my case. Replacing files in Flash's players directory doesn't affect the test player. best konrad 2008/7/21, peter ginsberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > This isn't precisely related to AS3, but it's definitely something in my > code in particular causing this issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Suddenly lots of 1065 Errors: Variable xxxxxx is not defined.
Thanks for the tips.
I tried it on two different machines and after restart of both Flash and the
computer.
I also did check the autodeclare thing.
What's more I did manage to narow the problem to one line of recently
modified code and still don't get it.
I've got an array containing subtitle data (:
subtitles:Aray = [
new SubtitleAction ("bbb", 3, 3)
, new SubtitleAction ("bbb", 8, 3)
, new SubtitleAction ("bbb", 15, 3)
, new SubtitleAction ("bbb", 21.5, 3)
, new SubtitleAction ("bbb", 24, 3)
etc.
]
where SubtitleAction is simply a datatype class with following constructor:
public function SubtitleAction (text:String, triggerTime:Number ,
durationTime:Number)
{
super (TYPE_SUBTITLE);
this.text = text;
this.triggerTime = Math.floor(triggerTime);
this.durationTime = durationTime;
}
It does nothing else except being used by another part of application (which
manages display of subtitles).
SubtitleAction extends another class: ActionEvent but it makes use of only
one super's variable: 'type', which is set to constant: TYPE_SUBTITLE. The
problem starts when I try to set triggerTime not to a round number but to
21.5 for example like in the fourth line. To make sure that it's nothing
that would cause problem anywhere further I added Math.round () to round the
value in the constructor BUT it still adding .5 to 21messes up the whole
app. No compiler or regular runtime errors, just a bunch of 1065 Errors
begining with "Variable (my DocumentClass name ) is not defined".
I can live with round numbers of seconds to adjust the subtitles, but I
can't without understanding what's happening here. :-)
Best,
Konrad

[Flashcoders] Suddenly lots of 1065 Errors: Variable xxxxxx is not defined.
Hi, I'm working on a quite large AS3 project in Flash and I'm closing to the end of it but suddenly my main file stopped compiling properly. There are no compilers errors, but the application doesn't seem to start, and I get tons of 1065: 'Variable xx is not defined' errors. I guess it lists most of my custom classes (there are probably around 50 different classes in the project, excluding simple indentifiers for the library assets. It all happened when I was editing some very non critical parts of the code (adjusting timings of movie subtitles), but at some point I picked up my phone and may have clicked on something unconsciously by mistake. :-( I started looking into code, but honestly I don't know what may have caused it. Is there any obvious reason, that I should check in the first place? Please help, I spent last 1,5 month writing the damn thing and it should run on public on Monday...

[Flashcoders] Where to upgrade the Flash IDE test player?
Hi, I've got FP 9.0.45.0 installed now that is used by Flash IDE when testing. I need to upgrade it, but I can't locate the test player on my disk. (I've got latest versions of flash players in IE and FF). regards Konrad ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
