[Flashcoders] AS 3.0 - Typecast a new Obj instantiated from a library linked class to a 'displayObject'
Hello, So I have a movieClip in the library that is set to Export as a class with the Auto Create Class feature, with the name rotate_sphere. rotate_sphere basically contains a .png that I would like to copy as bitmapData to a new bitmap Object so that I can take advantage of the smoothing parameter on 'New Bitmap(bitmapData,snapping,SMOOTHING)'. Because this object needs to scale and I would like to keep it looking smooth with keeping the edges anti aliased. I am getting a Type Coercion error which reads: cannot convert rotate_sphere$ to flash.display.DisplayObject when I am trying to get the bitmapData. I figured that any class instantiated from the library at least extends type DisplayObject since whenever I instantiate a class from the library I can add it as a child, which requires the obj at least extend DisplayObject. Im not sure if Im even going about this right way. Any thoughts or comments would be awesome! and thanks for your time to at least read through this! -Dave Geurts ___ 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

Does anybody know anything about implementing something similar as lockroot for as3. The only thing I have found in my searches is in the migration guide it says lockroot has been removed.

[Flashcoders] XML.onData parse xml in chunks
I am up against the infamous xml parser freezing up flash for a couple seconds. I have searched and searched and have found plenty of posts about saying live with it or overwrite the XML.onData and split up the xml into chunks to parse. I cannot find a single example of this. :S Does anybody know how or know of a example. I know how to edit the onData to point to a custom parser, but I am lost when it comes to the parsing or splitting up of the data. thanks -Dave Geurts ___ 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
