[Flashcoders] Selection Box
Hey guys, I am setting the onPress callback of an mc to call Selection.setFocus(this.mc); This works correctly, but I notice that briefly when the setFocus call is executed that a yellow outline flashes around the mc. I have seen this box before when I have tabbed through selections as well. Is there any way to remove or modify the color of this outline? I have dug through the flash docs, but I don't see much on the subject.

[Flashcoders] RE: Selection Box
I figured it out. For the curious, it involves the use of _focusrect.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
Andy,
Like the other poster said, us isNaN, but I was also curious about why
this might be true.
I found this link on the subject that will be helpful (original page
down):
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:ilnSqw-hBjwJ:livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/package.html+Flash+NaN+equalityhl=engl=usct=clnkcd=3
The |*NaN*| value is not considered equal to any other value, including
|*NaN*|, which makes it impossible to use the *equality* operator to
test whether an expression is |*NaN*|. To determine whether a number is
the |*NaN*| function, use |isNaN()|.

I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then
detect if the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would
convert it and then check if the converted value is NaN, but this
doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = foobar;
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace(fooN is NaN);
} else {
trace(fooN is a number: + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have
no idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm
wondering why == doesn't work.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 properties woes
Also not an AS3 expert, but I think Danny is wrong. The super function
is necessary to call the parent constructor. I believe that the problem
is related to what Petro said about labelClass being outside of the
AbstractMarker class. I would also consider subclassing showTitle and
adding a trace to see if the value is correct in the DateMarker version.
If so, then someone the two labelClass variables aren't the same actual
variable which would be weird :)
Danny Kodicek wrote:
Not an AS3 expert by any means, but my first thought is that the error is
here:
public class DateMarker extends AbstractMarker
{
public function DateMarker ()
{
super();
labelClass = date
}
}
I'm not sure, but the super() function looks out of place here. You're
already invoking the AbstractMarker constructor by creating a subclass, so
it should work by itself. I suspect that calling super() there has messed
with your scope somehow.
Feel free to shoot me down.

Re: SPAM-LOW: RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 properties woes
If that's the case, that's a really stupid bit of functionality because you can't completely override a constructor. I was not aware that AS did it that way.

[Flashcoders] Rotating a comboBox
Whenever I rotate a v2 component comboBox on and click the arrow, the dropdown still appears as though the comboBox was not rotated. Is there any easy way to have this appear rotated as well?

[Flashcoders] IE6 CTRL key problem.
Hey everyone,
I am having some problem with the following code in Internet Explorer
6.0 on Windows 2000 with Flash Player 9. I am trying to write code for a
hotkey to recognize when both the CTRL key and either X,C, or V is
pressed in order to do copying and pasting. I will attach a sample of
the code below. This code works in Firefox with Flash Player 9 just fine
and I have been told it works in Internet Explorer 7.0
I have a keyListener object set up which contains the following code.
var temp = this;
this.keyListener = new Object();
this.keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
temp.checkHotKeys()
}
Key.addListener(this.keyListener);
In the temp object, I have the function checkHotKeys which is as follows:
function checkHotKeys()
{
//Ctrl-X
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) Key.isDown(88))
this.editCut();
//Ctrl-C
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) Key.isDown(67))
this.editCopy();
//Ctrl-V
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) Key.isDown(86))
this.editPaste();
//Delete
if(Key.isDown(Key.DELETEKEY))
this.editDelete();
}
I added some traces for Key.getCode() in the above function and found
that when I was holding down the CTRL key and then pressed another key,
Key.getCode() would still return 17, effectively not recognizning that
the second key was pressed. Alternatively, if I held down X/C/V first
and then pressed the CTRL key, it would update correctly.
Also, I replaced all instances of Key.CONTROL with Key.SPACE and it
worked correctly with space bar.
Does anyone have any idea why this would not work in IE6 and if there
are any workarounds? Has anyone even seen this error before?
