[Flashcoders] Flash 8 accessibility, need some help
So, I cant for the life of me, figure out how to setup tab indexing accessibility with Flash 8. Problem is, we have some movie clips that have onpress/release functions to act like a button and (do a bunch of animation bells and whistles on rollover etc) I need to figure out how I can tab to those buttons Say we just had a simple login form, with a fancy animated button. username field, tab, password field now some people will just hit enter right then and submit the form. while others try to tab to the submit button and hit enter. Here is my simple example file http://rs218.rapidshare.com/files/51022299/tabindex.fla Now I have given an tab index number to the 2 text fields and the movie clip. I set the movie clip to be tabindex 2 so I know if skips the clip or not (since i really dont have a visual indicaor showing that you are tabbed on the movie clip) I've also set the following btn.tabEnabled=true; btn.focusEnabled=true; btn.tabChildren=true; and the flash docs said you need to have an onpress or release function as well but despite all of that, it just tabs right past the movie clip. So I think I'm leaving something out that will be glaringly obvious after someone else sees what I missed Any help much appreciated! ___ 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] Version control and Flash
We are starting to add our flash projects to SVN but by large every project has all of the AS code inside the actual movie leaving us with just fla's in the repo We are working on getting everyone to develop with .as files they include in the fla, but is there a limit as to how far that should go? Should there be any code in the flas besides the #includes? How do you go about organizing your folders when you are making an AS1/AS2 project? Do you mimic the folders in the fla with the appropriate as file locations? I'd like to make it easier for everyone to use SVN while still getting the benefit of having plain text code in the repo Thanks for any guidance ___ 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] How can you measure performance of your movie?
I've been tasked with optimizing/tuning a flash movie to try and get it to run better on low end machines (100% cpu spikes, large memory, etc) I see many areas that I can improve the swf, but how do I quantify what I have improved to my boss? Is there any standard practice for measuring how fast your swf is running? Look at the FPS? Is there a program that records cpu/memory use as you run through a flash movie?

[Flashcoders] Transform tool help - without the matrix
Is there a tool that lets you strectch and rotate movie clip objects? (not skew, I believe that requires the transform matrix math) Similar to this guy, but only using width height and rotation modifications http://senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/senocular/display/TransformTool.as Reason I ask (and perhaps theres another solution) using the transform matrix with anything in text will actually transform the text to be larger (probably as expected for most) but I'd like for when a user expands an object the text area inside it grows keeping the original font size. Any ideas?
