RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
I was able to get it to work by deleting the m1 button event handler
function, however, the button event handler for m2 cannot be executed
before m2 actually exists, and since it comes into existence on frame 20
of m1, the button event handler function must also be run on frame 20 of
m1.

Byron Barn Canfield
thanks for the help. If you say it can never work, then I assume it can
never work... I'll do a little rethinking as you suggest and use the
oldstyle buttons where needed.

ben, you cannot have a button inside another button...
That is why your code wont work.
paste this over your current code
m1.onRollOver = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (20);
};
m1.onRollOut = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (1);
};
m1.m2.onPress = function ():Void
{
trace(HI)
getURL (http://www.cnn.com;, _blank);
};
as you will see the trace(HI) will never fire because the m1 button
movieClips hit area will expand to the total size of the movieClip.
rethink your setup, this will never work despite all the help in the world
have you tried that Byron, and does that work for you? I've tried it
here,
and makes no difference at all...

All my code does is terminate the interception of the button event by the
first button. It does not address other code errors.
As was asked before, where is the code for the second button? Is it on
frame twenty of the m1 movieclip? And, if so, has the button instantiated
by the time the button event handler function is created?

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue?
Part of the problem is that your onEnterFrame is getting stomped on by the
reinstantiation of the target movieclip when the SWF actually begins to
load. That effectively (quite) deletes the onEnterFrame. Either attach the
onEnterFrame to some other timeline, or load the movie into some other
timeline, perhaps a child movieclip.

I have posted this before, and gotten some feedback, this is the result,
yet
i still cannot get the clip to display the load progress of bigfile.swf
inside the label_txt. the swf loads inside of _root.target_mc ... any
ideas
here people?
// - begin code
target_mc.loadMovie(bigfile.swf);
target_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
tBytes = getBytesTotal();
trace (tBytes: + tBytes);
bLoaded = getBytesLoaded();
trace (bLoaded: + bLoaded);
percent = (bLoaded/tBytes) * 100;
if (bLoaded tBytes){
_root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100;
_root.label_txt.text = percent % LOADED
} else {
//play();
//_root.target_mc.unloadMovie();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] random concatenated txt question
I don't see anything there in that code that limits the string length to
19, nor anything to reset the string to a null value upon reaching the 19.
It just keeps on concatenating onto the end of the string, but you can't
see it because of the limited size of the textfield.
Try putting a trace in your onEnterFrame() and you'll see what I mean:
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
myTxt_txt.text = random2();
trace(myTxt_txt.text: +myTxt_txt.text.length)
};
That said, it seems to me that you're really going about this the hard
way. Each of those single-letter strings is possible to represent with a
numeric ascii value, such that there is no need for the array -- just
convert the chosen numeric value to a character at the time it is
concatenated.

Re: [Flashcoders] RIA patent granted
Except that's not the kind of patent action this case addresses. This one is specifically someone developing or copying an idea that already existed, and then, upon finding it not yet patented, patenting it and thereby attempting to extort money out of others, some of whom did all the originally development. This silly business model of profit solely through litigation has got to stop. -- Byron Barn Canfield Actually DNA work, drug design, and all that kind of stuff is incredibly important work that if not protected there would be no motivation to do. If someone discovers a gene after spending, say $500 Million, should someone else be able to come along and spend $1 Million and compete from the same starting line? Patents protect innovation. The problem is that innovations, once accepted by the public, often seem obvious and inevitable. Often they just **seem** to be obvious, but are not. There are lots of obvious things that dont catch on and vice versa. Broad acceptance is not the same as obvious, but many dont understand that distinction.

Re: [Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
You can make it a lot easier by doing some of the prep work for that

depths to those movieclips.
This isn't exactly OOP, but it demonstrates the architecture:
var qtyClips:Number = 4;
var nbrDepthOffset:Number = 7;
var rraClips:Array = new Array();
var nbrLastPressed:Number;
//
function fncClipInit() {
for (var i = 0; iqtyClips; i++) {
var nbrDepth:Number = i+nbrDepthOffset;
var rfcClip:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip(item+i,
nbrDepth);
rfcClip.nbrIDX = i;
rfcClip.nbrDepth = nbrDepth;
rraClips[i] = rfcClip;
//
// ---
// This part just so there's something to see...
var rraDim:Array = [[Math.random()*600, Math.random()*300],
[Math.random()*600, Math.random()*300]];
rfcClip.beginFill(Math.floor(Math.random()*0xFF), 100);
rfcClip.lineStyle(2, Math.floor(Math.random()*0xFF), 100);
rfcClip.moveTo(rraDim[0][0], rraDim[0][1]);
rfcClip.lineTo(rraDim[1][0], rraDim[0][1]);
rfcClip.lineTo(rraDim[1][0], rraDim[1][1]);
rfcClip.lineTo(rraDim[0][0], rraDim[1][1]);
rfcClip.lineTo(rraDim[0][0], rraDim[0][1]);
rfcClip.endFill();
// ---
//
rfcClip.onPress = function() {
fncDepthSort(this);
};
}
}
//
function fncDepthSort(rfcBtn:MovieClip) {
if (rfcBtn.nbrIDX != nbrLastPressed) {
var rfcClip:MovieClip = rraClips[rfcBtn.nbrIDX];
rraClips.splice(rfcBtn.nbrIDX, 1);
rfcClip.swapDepths(qtyClips+nbrDepthOffset);
rraClips.push(rfcClip);
for (var i = 0; irraClips.length; i++) {
rraClips[i].swapDepths(i+nbrDepthOffset);
rraClips[i].nbrIDX = i;
}
nbrLastPressed = rfcBtn.nbrIDX;

Does anyone have a an algorithm for Z sorting multiple overlapping
clips...
I have an array of clips and when one is clicked I want it to come to
the top, but I want the other overlapping items to also shift
appropriately...
So
Item [1] at depth 10
Item [2] at depth 9
Item [3] at depth 8
Item [4] at depth 7
If you click item [4], it would go to depth 10, and the other would
shift down 1
Item [4] depth 10
Item [1] depth 9
Item [2] depth 8
Item [3] depth 7
But if any of those items are overlaping other items, they also need to
be Z sorted.
I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with timeline Script
The first thing you should do is repair your naming -- object (and all other) names in Flash should always begin with at least one non-numeric character. -- Byron Barn Canfield Help! I cant get this code quite right. I'm probably attempting somthing that is way above my head but maybe i'll learn something in the end ;-) Goal description: I'm creating a time line. I have a series of dates that act as a series of buttons. Each button controls a specific mc. Like so: 1930_btn controls 1930_mc 1940_btn controls 1940_mc 1950_btn controls 1950_mc ___ 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] Navigating between labels? Scripting help:
How about just a single function (ala LOTR -- one ring to rule them all)
and just pass it a 1 or -1 to indicate the direction?
/* Initialize index: */
var index:Number = 0;
/* Declare var frames as an array and populatec with frame labels: */
var frames:Array = [scene1, scene2, scene3];
/* Get length of array: */
var max:Number = frames.length;
//
/* Attach function to forward button: */
_root.forward.onRelease = function() {
frameChange(+1);
};
//
/* Attach function to backward button: */
_root.backward.onRelease = function() {
frameChange(-1);
};
//
frameChange = function (nbrDir) {
index = (index+nbrDir+max)%max;
trace(frames[index]);
gotoAndPlay(frames[index]);
};
Also, I notice that one of your comments describes these as scene
labels, but note that scene labels can only be targeted from the _root of
the level AND you cannot use variable references (including arrays) for
scene label designations -- must be actual string literal: the actual
scene name surrounded with quote marks. For the above to work, those must
be frame labels, not scene labels.

Hey all...
I need some help with the below code... I am trying to set-up a dynamic
way to jump from label to label on the main timeline of my animation...

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval inside created Clip
newClip.intervalid = setInterval(newClip.doSomething, 200);
--
Byron Barn Canfield
Hey All,
I'm looping through a structure adding movieclips along the way for each
element. I need to setup a separate interval inside each new clip. If I
call
the function directly, I need this to be constantly updating without an
onEnterFrame.
_root.work.createEmptyMovieClip( newName, vItemCount );
//
var newClip = _root.work[newName];
//
// this function redraws the line
newClip.doSomething = function(){
// {.}
}
// I've tried all of the following
// newClip.intervalid = setInterval(this, doSomething, 200);
// newClip.intervalid = newClip.setInterval(doSomething, 200);
// newClip.intervalid = setInterval(newClip, doSomething, 200);
Any insight or help is appreciated.
Cheers,
!k

Re: [Flashcoders] I.E. won't play MP3 (sometimes)
Worked fine for me: XP/sp2, IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr_050301-1519 -- Byron Barn Canfield If you have 10 seconds, please test this so if this problem is only on my laptop. This movie streams short MP3's when the user clicks a button. Works fine in I.E. on 3 of my machines, but on my laptop the MP3 never plays, although it does get loaded into I.E.'s cache. I'd appreciate knowing if any of you get the same results. Go to http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/birdgame. Click on the bird photo and please let me know if you don't hear the bird name announced.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloading multiple swfs with moviecliploader
Well, presuming you're speaking of on-line delivery, you're kind of at the mercy of the browser on that one, as most browsers have a physicial limit of 4 simultaneous connections (download streams), though I think some versions on the Mac allow up to 7, such that any quantity of files greater than that will simply have to wait their turns. The problem therein is that the sum of all file sizes is not known until the last file has loaded enough that the byte values can be retrieved, so that means that some files have to load in their entirety before the sizes of others are even known. One way around that is to use a server-side script to feed the filesizes of all files to be loaded to Flash in advance of the first file load, such that the progress bar can be constructed, in advance, to measure the progress properly. But then again, if you do that, there's really no need to load files quasi-simultaneously -- you can then simply load sequentially. -- Byron Barn Canfield Has anyone been able to preload multiple swfs concurrently and keep track of progress globally rather than for individual files? We can do it sequentially, but that ain't pretty for the user when they have to endure 12 serial progress bars.
