Re: [Flashcoders] How to Create Flex Projector
It´s Flex 2. But if I create a projector using flash 8, it will run using AS2. So, when I load the Flex swf, wich is AS3, it will not work. The plugin 9 will not be inside de exe. Am I right?

Re: [Flashcoders] Most efficient way to set a ColorTransform property on a MovieClip
This is a classic object oriented problem. The MovieClip can´t know that the rbg property has changed from his ColorTransform property. There ar 3 solutions: The first is the easier for Macromedia but worst for us programers. The movieClip, update its ColorTransform when you set it, like this mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform The second solution would be with listeners. When you assign mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform, the movie clip do colorTransform.addEventListener(COLOR_CHANGE, The third would be the color transform has a reference to the movieClip and do the same done on the first situation, so when you assign colorTransform.rbg = 0xFF the color transform do: parentMovieClip.colorTransform = this (where this is the colorTransform) Those solutions are fine if you want to change only one property, but if you change 6 properties, the movieClip would be updated 6 times on the last two solutions. Unless the movieClip waits to update only at some internal refresh frame event (but this is with macromedia). My suggestion is create a helper class that would do the follow? new HelperColorTransform(movieClip).rgb = 0xFF; and inside you would do what you can´t do with one line of code. Let´s extends the discussion, since this problem exists in many places of Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to
digging the docs, I found this: "Flex supports scale-9 formatting of embedded images. The scale-9 formatting feature lets you define nine sections of an image that scale independently" at Flex 2 Developer's Guide > Flex Programming Topics > Embedding Assets Embedding asset types And this at the same page: "An embedded SWF file may already contain scale-9 information specified by using Flash Professional. In that case, the SWF file ignores any scale-9 parameters that you specify in the embed statement." I try both inside an actionscript project but didn´t work. Any working example using scaleGridTop, scaleGridBottom, scaleGridLeft, and scaleGridRight? On 7/21/06, Charles Parcell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Here are my thoughts. Based on the image you passed on in one of your previous postings, it looks like you are building a drop down list component. I would assume that you wanted slice9 so you could scale the component in the X direction for longer strings. Is this a correct assumption? You might want to break your image into three (3) columns. Col 1 would be an image from the left edge of the image to just right of the first black line. The second would be a single pixel column between the left and right black lines. The third column would be from just to the left of the right black line to the right edge of the image. With these three graphics you can build a X scaled component of any width. Simply replicate the single pixel column to create a text area the size you need. Use the BitmapData class to build the image and simply dump the resulting image in to a MC. This is but one example of the power held by imaging code new to Flash 8 ( copyPixels() for example ) Charles P. ___ 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 ___ 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] scale9grid how to
I found some workarounds at design time. But i´m still can´t use [Embed] to include my vector or bitmap and use it as scale9grid. Perhaps there´s some implications that I can´t see, to "Macromedia" didn´t implement that. "Some unique effects can be achieved by 9-slicing multiple movieclips and then stacking them." "Also, you can use a 9-sliced movieclip as a mask for another movieclip, which could contain a textfield." I´m curious about how to do that! On 7/20/06, Tom Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you must use a bitmap, you might look into the Splice9 JSFL extension at http://www.brajeshwar.com/downloads/jsfl/splice9/. This extension is an author-time solution to the problem. If possible, however, I would suggest converting your PNGs to vectors. With the filters now available in Flash, there isn't much that you can do with bitmaps that you can't do with vectors. Also, vectors often yield smaller file sizes, and scale without degradation. Instead of putting textfields and movieclips inside the 9-sliced movieclip, how about putting them on top of it? You might consider using the 9-sliced clip as a background layer, and then controlling the width and height of the textfields separately. Some unique effects can be achieved by 9-slicing multiple movieclips and then stacking them. Additionally, you can put multiple shapes in the same movieclip on different layers and all the shapes will be affected by scale9grid. Also, you can use a 9-sliced movieclip as a mask for another movieclip, which could contain a textfield. With a creative combination of techniques, you should be able to achieve the desired result. You may not be able to do it with 9-slice alone, however. -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcos Neves Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 2:56 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to I´m using for interface components too.

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to
I´m using for interface components too. I import a png button and

I found an "ugly" workaround for this.
Textfields and movieClips inside would be good too.

I call it when I want the graphic to scale - that was just an excerpt from a

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to
Should someone give an example of how to use scale9grid in flash authoring?
I bitmap fill a rectangle with a checker pattern. The corners should
have no deformation, but it´s having.

Marcos,
If you made the rectangle the same size as your "sprite" - there would
be no scale9 to speak of. It has to be smaller than the mc. You know
how it works from implementing it in the IDE, so you know that there
must be "outside" area that is left untouched, the interior does the
scaling.

Re: [Flashcoders] list of files in a directory using FileReference or FileReferenceList
You can´t dynamic list all files, but you can popup a browser window, asking to the user select all files on the folder. This is for security reason.

I am really surprised that so far Marcos seems to be the only one here who thinks it's essential. I think it would really be a step backwards without this feature. Maybe the example Marcos used wasn't that obvious. But if we talk about Component classes like CheckBoxes, Buttons etc., I would never want to use composition over inheritance. And in the preview release you wouldn't be able to assign a CheckBox class to more than one MovieClip. So yes, I think that feature is essential. It would also be great if that base class that you can specify is permitted to only extend Sprite and not MovieClip. Even better would be a new symbol type without a timeline for designing Sprites.

I haven't used Flash 9 alpha so I don't know Auto Generated is. If you specified the class name via library linkage properties and Flash 9 doesn't allow it, it sounds like a bug.

AutoGenerate works like this: If you give a Brazil name to a movieClip and don´t assign a class to it, Flash auto generate a class called Brazil wich you can do new Brazil in your code to create that movieClip.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing
AS3 is really mature now, what is excellent! But there´s no reason to didn´t support it. Let´s think from other point of view. Each sprite on the flash screen, is an instance of some class. Flash ide is locking together View+Behavior, so I can´t have two differents Views with the same behavior. With Jcarlos tip, I found two ways to workaround this. But it´s didn´t seens right to me. I draw my Countrys as movieclips without classes. Then create a MovieClip with a Country class and put inside each movieClip (Composition). Inside Country class, I have access to the parent display object using the parent property and do something like an Adapter pattern. The other solution would be put all my countrys inside a MovieClip called World, and use a World class to access each country and assign the behavior. I´ll will upload my .fla files so you can understand. On 7/5/06, Adrian Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm not sure this is really a 'feature' that is missing since the problem really boils down to OOP theory. For example, it could be argued that it is incorrect for the country class to extend MovieClip since a country *is not* a MovieClip but, rather, *uses* a MovieClip for display. By this rational, it makes more sense to extend via composition - i.e. the country class simply gets a reference to a MovieClip that represents it's visual manifestation. This way, the same class is used for many MovieClips. If it was possible in AS2 and is no longer possible in AS3, I'd hope there is a very good reason why and I'd hope that the reason has something to do with AS becoming a more mature language and doing things in a better way.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing
Look at this flash
http://adi.idr.org.br/tpl/adi/mapa.tpl.php
Did you see that every movieClips have different shapes, but the same behavior.
Your suggestion is to drag a Country MovieClip inside each Country and
use it to take control of the parent clip?

I'm not sure if it's entirely impossible to assign one class to multiple
movieclips, but if that's true than the easiest way to overcome that problem
is make a baseclass 'Country' and have Brazil extends Country.
You still have the silly task of assigning all your countries to a
different class, but at least your code will be easy to manage.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing
You got the point. But this silly task wasn´t needed on flash 8. That´s the point. Should it be on flash 9? I don´t think so. Isn´t this the time to ask Adobe to include this feature?

[Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing
Is this the place to talk about AS3? If not, where would be? The concept of any movieClip be a class is very powerfull, given the ability to do new ClassName to create a copy of any clip. But the Auto Generated class and the fact that you can´t have two movieclips with the same class is something that is limiting flash capabilities. Example: I have a A world map where each country is a movieclip. And every one will have the same behavior. Before flash 9, what I did is assign a class called Country to each movie clip. This way, I can easy update the behavior of all at the same time. With Flash 9, I can´t assign a class with the same name and can´t specify a base class to the Auto Generated extends. My suggestion is to do something like this: http://neves.bs2.com.br/flex/preview.jpg When ask for AutoGenerate, a check box would enable an different base class, and I would write on the textbox. So a movieClip called Brazil, would have a autoGenerated class called Brazil that extends the class Country, witch would be my base class. I´m shure no one can deny that this feature is essential. ___ 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
