[Flashcoders] Flash IDE localhost problem
Hi, I'm just wondering if anybody can help me with my simple but frustrating problem. I have created an SWF that loads an XML file from http://localhost/flash/Projects/MEL/Quiz/Quiz/bin/xml/quiz.xml, but I get this error when running the movie using Test Movie in the Flash IDE. Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost/flash/Projects/MEL/Quiz/Quiz/bin/xml/quiz.xml at Main/loadConfig()[D:\www\webroot\flash\Projects\MEL\Quiz\Quiz\src\Main.as:12 6] at Main/configLoadError()[D:\www\webroot\flash\Projects\MEL\Quiz\Quiz\src\Main. as:143] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete() Trouble is running the SWF in a browser locally does work, it only throws these errors in the Flash IDE. I have tried a adding wildcard crossdomain.xml file in my root web directory and setting the SWF publish properties to Allow network only, but neither of these have solved my problem. I know Windows 7 handles localhost name resolution differently compared to previous versions of Windows but I have even added 127.0.0.1 localhost to my hosts file to no avail. Can anyone shed any light on this issue? Thanks, Dav ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Flash MouseWheel Listener Problem
Hi Guys, I'm having a problem with attaching the mouse wheel listener to the stage in AS3. For some strange reason, when flash is focused and I scroll my mouse wheel, the entire browser scrolls along with flash itself! Any ideas how to prevent this? I believe Google is not my friend on this one! Cheers, Dav ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Or put whatever your scrolling into a scroller box of sorts and attach the mouse listener to that.

[Flashcoders] Embed Fonts in Main SWF
Hi guys, simple question for you! If I have a main swf file that has font's embedded via AS3. I load a child swf into a movieclip on the main swf. Can the child swf use the embedded fonts from the main swf? I've tried and so far I haven't managed to get this working, obviously if I embed the fonts into the child swf the fonts appear as expected. Cheers!

[Flashcoders] SWF Child - Parent Comunication
Hi all!
I have a problem with sending data between two SWF's.
Basically I have the parent SWF that loads in a child SWF. On the child SWF
there are several pictures that are clickable.
Now let's say the user clicks picture 2. I need the child SWF to tell the
main SWF that a picture was clicked, and also what picture it was from say
picture 1 to 10. The main SWF will then do something with that information.
So far all I have been able to find is something like this, in the child SWF
create add a dispatchEvent(new Event(jumpToImage, true)); to each
picture on click. Then in the main SWF add an event listener to the child
SWF.
Now the problem is, when I click on a picture the main SWF's listener
event.target equals the child SWF's document class ([object Child]), not the
image Movieclip instance name.
I don't really want to add a different dispatchEvent to every image:
dispatchEvent(new Event(jumpToImage1, true));
dispatchEvent(new Event(jumpToImage2, true));
dispatchEvent(new Event(jumpToImage10, true));
cause this seems wasteful, instead I would rather do this:
Child:
dispatchEvent(new Event(jumpToImage, true));
Main:
private function jumpToImage(event:Event):void
{
switch (event.target.name)
{
case picture1:
// do something with picture 1
break;
case picture2:
// do something with picture 2
break;
...
case picture10:
// do something with picture 10
break;
}
}
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dav

[Flashcoders] Access objects in embedded swf
Hi guys!
I'm having a problem accessing movieclips within an embedded SWF.
Here is some code:
...
[Embed(source = 'portfolio.swf')]
public var Portfolio:Class;
public function Main()
{
var portfolio:* = new Portfolio();
addChild(portfolio);
portfolio.x = 0;
portfolio.y = 0;
portfolio.a1.x = 150; // Fails
}
...
portfolio.a1.x fails, even though there is a movieclip inside portfolio.swf
called a1.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property a1 not found on Main_Portfolio and
there is no default value. at Main()[D:\Flash\NewProject\Main.as:19]
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Try:

group.page1.width = 200;// [Fault] exception,

So I get this error when trying to access the width of page1 inside group:

Any ideas how I can access the page movieclips within the group movieclip?

[Flashcoders] Any ideas / thoughts on this?
I'm trying to create a flash website where 6 pages are placed on the stage with different rotations. The active page fills the viewport and a menu sits just below the active page. Now when you click on the menu for say page 2, the viewport will appear to move and rotate to the correct angle to display page 2. I have worked up a site to better explain what I mean. http://79.170.40.163/flashdev.com/ For the sake of keeping things simple each of the three buttons just move you to the next page. I believe the best way to achieve the effect is to put each page into a group movieclip, that will hold all 6 pages. Then when a menu item is clicked, just rotate the group movieclip and move it to a pre-defined x and y. I'm hoping to code it in FlashDevelop, so it will be dynamic and not static content. Does anyone think there is a better way to achieve the end result?
