RE: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
This brings up a question I had about events. Is there a way to send an event all the way to the document class, no matter where it's been dispatched from? For instance, I have a document class that creates a menu class, which creates several icon button classes. I want the document class to be able to receive the event dispatched from the icon button. Currently, the only way I know how to do it is have the icon button send it to the menu and then the menu send it to the document. So, my question is, can the document class receive an event directly sent from the icon button?

I'm guessing this is the best way to go theoretically, and will allow me to reuse my BouncingBall object in other applications, but it's a lot of extra code, and I constantly worry about not property cleaning up event listeners. Hands down, your option 3 is what you should do. So what if it's some extra code? It's the right way to accomplish this. Your object should not target and call methods in other classes outside of it, that's extremely tight coupling, which is bad. So have your bouncing ball sprite dispatch a custom event, have the other class listen for that same custom event and do whatever logic you want, like call another method. It's not messy if you keep your code clean. It just takes practice of doing this a lot before you realize an architecture emerges in your coding you are familiar with. I think its even messier to do option 1 or 2, if that makes you feel any better.

You might wanna read the docs for some basics on Events in AS3:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/0138.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/0139.html
When writing cusom events, you can usually ommit the bubbles and
cancellable arguments, as those are false by default.
And you should always implement a clone() method:
quote
Event class utility methods
There are two utility methods in the Event class. The clone() method
allows you to create copies of an event object. The toString()
method allows you to generate a string representation of the properties
of an event object along with their values. Both of these
methods are used internally by the event model system, but are exposed
to developers for general use.
For advanced developers creating subclasses of the Event class, you must
override and implement versions of both utility methods to
ensure that the event subclass will work properly.
/quote
AFAIK, the toString() method is only useful for debugging purposes
(trace).

An event is just a message object. Just because one gets created
successfully does not mean it is being delivered. dispatchEvent() is a
method of the EventDispatcher class, which is a superclass of many classes,
including DisplayObject. You need to listen for the event (with
addEventListener()) on the same EventDispatcher where the event was
dispatched. (Except in the case of events that bubble, but that's another
topic.)
For example:
public class MyWindowHolder extends Sprite {
public function init(): void {
var a: MyWindow = new MyWindow();
a.addEventListener( MyEvent.EXCLAMATION, onExclamation );
}
private function onExclamation( event: MyEvent ): void {
trace(ouch!);
}
}
public class MyWindow extends Sprite {
private function injury(): void {
this.dispatchEvent( new MyEvent( MyEvent.EXCLAMATION ));
}
}
Hope this helps,

Hi Ross,
The problem is this line:
var mainBrowserWindow:HTMLLoader;
It declares mainBrowserWindow as an HTMLLoader. But HTMLLoader (the
class) doesn't have a urlToLoad function, so the compiler gets
confused, not knowing mainBrowserWindow is really a
BasicBrowserWindow.
Replace with this:
var mainBrowserWindow:BasicBrowserWindow;
and the problem should go away.

Hi Ross,
when you create your variables, you forgot to set the identifier,
public , private etc.
Because else it scopes it default to , if i'm not mistaken.
So now change that to (and its good practice to use an underscore for
member variables);
private var _mainBrowser: BasicBrowserWindow; (not htmlLoader)
Also change the mainBrowser everywhere to _mainBrowser, now also do
the same trick for the htmlLoader.
(set it to private and rename to_htmLoader).
That should fix it.
Hope this helps you on your way,

I may have been mislead here, but I still think that a site like EcoDaZoo or sites done by agencies like Gringo, or Firstborn are Flash, not Flex. I am getting specific here, which is irrelevant regarding this thread. Cedric With both you can be efficient. As a proof, all the best Flash sites are Flash, not Flex. How do you know? I have seen some amazing Flash sites I thought were build in the Flash IDE, and I found out later they were Flex apps, with some really great skinning going on. I have also seen some flex-like sites that were cool that I discovered were Flash IDE made sites. But in a lot of cases, there is no real way to tell what the development environment was - maybe if you pulled apart the .swf you could tell, but other than that, it's difficult.

[Flashcoders] Flex vs. Flash
I guess this is somewhat off topic, but I'm new to the whole Flex thing. What are some of the reasons one would build something in Flex instead of Flash? Is it just a preference thing, or are there real technical reasons one should build a particular app in Flex?

[Flashcoders] 3d math in AS3
Quick question... I know the Math.atan2 can get me an angle (in radians) using y,x. Can I also use atan2 to get a correct angle using z,x? or is there another way to get an angle when using the z coordinate? Thanks!!

RE: [Flashcoders] 3d math in AS3
That is the angle I am looking for... thanks Paul. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Andrews Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 3:39 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Fw: [Flashcoders] 3d math in AS3 - Original Message - From: Lehr, Ross (N-SGIS) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 5:55 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] 3d math in AS3 Quick question...

You can use z and x values, but it will give you an angle in a different plane altogether (the zx plane not the xy plane). Whether it's the angle that you want is something else again. Paul Thanks!!

[Flashcoders] Flash Pro 8 working with 9, but not 8
Hey All, I've run into a funny issue. I am working in Flash 8 Pro and I have recently discovered that my .swfs load from the server if Explorer has the version 9 plug-in, but will not work with version 8 (I get a red X where the .swf should be).I have my preferences set to create version 8 .swfs, but no go. I even set it to create version 7 swfs, but they still only play in 9 and not 8. Any ideas? Thanks, Ross ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
