Re: [Flashcoders] elearing content using adobe air for ipad
Hi Paul,
What we do is have a swf that has a library of animations or images, all
contained in movie clips. These movie clips are then dropped onto the stage and
each instance given a name.
Once the swf is loaded you can then reference the instance by using
getChildByName(instanceName). Once you have reference to that animation you
can throw it into any display object and it will show up in your app.
To get around with the stop limitation you can use some code to dynamically add
code to the animations after you have gotten access to them. We do something
like this to dynamically add stop code just before each frame label of a movie
clip. Then you
for each (var fLabel:FrameLabel in _skin.currentLabels)
{
_frameLabels.push(fLabel.name);
var labelFrame:int = fLabel.frame
if (labelFrame 1)
{
//for addFrameScript the frame numbers
are 0 based
//to add a stop frame on the one
previous to the current frame label: -2
_skin.addFrameScript(labelFrame - 2,
function ():void{_skin.stop()});
}
}
//add a stop on the last frame of the skin
_skin.addFrameScript(_skin.totalFrames - 2, function
():void{_skin.stop()});
hth,

Can you elaborate on this further please?
I am working on an iPad only app using Flash CS5.5 and the client has asked
if the app could load in animated graphs. I initially thought this would be
easy loading in a swf but then discovered that not even a stop action was
possible.
It sounds like you may have an alternative solution so would be interested
to know more.
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
This might get you pointed in the right direction. You can get an
XMLList of all the empty nodes by this kind of statement
xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
but if you then try a simple delete on that
delete xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
you get: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
I'm not sure right now why that wouldn't work. But you could simply
loop through the XMLList generated and do a delete on each node
var emptyModule:XMLList = xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
var index:int = emptyModule.length() - 1;
for(var i = index; i - 1; i--){
delete emptyModule[i];
}
trace(xml);
hth,
Rob
PS so as far as the delete operator I'm not sure why
delete(xml.modules.module) works while something like
delete(xm.modules.module.(@title == apple)) gives an error like
above. I would think that both those querries result in an XMLList,
in the first case the delete occurs but not in the second... maybe
some lunch will help my brain work better.

Re: [Flashcoders] text line overflow
Hi Latcho,
I see you've gotten a couple response but I'll throw another one in to
the mix. The main functions that will interest you are:
1) getCharIndexAtPoint which locates the char at the edge of the
textfield
2) replaceSelectedText which is used to substitute in ...
This is some code ripped out of a class I use that extends TextField
and does a bunch of things for me, one of which is the truncation of
text. It is not complete but should give you an idea for approaching
this problem.
private var _htmlText:String = ; //holds the complete text for the
field even when truncation occurs
private var _tempText:TextField = new TextField();; //another
textField which is used to truncate the text and then place it into
this actual field
private var _gutterCompensation:Number = -5; // -5 compensates for the
gutter on either side of the text
private function checkDimensions(){
_htmlText = super.htmlText;
if(super.textWidth width - _gutterCompensation){
//use the temporary text holder to do the text shortening and replacing
_tempText.htmlText = _htmlText;
_tempText.defaultTextFormat = super.defaultTextFormat; //this ensures
that the ... are placed using the correct formatting
//find the character located at the edge of the text then count back
2 more characters and replace everything from there to the end with
...
_tempText.setSelection(super.getCharIndexAtPoint(width-
_gutterCompensation, 2)-2, super.text.length);
_tempText.replaceSelectedText(...);
super.htmlText = _tempText.htmlText;
}
Again is this an email/modified version so it is not complete just to
give you ideas. (I don't remember if I really needed to use
super.htmlText or could have gotten by with just this.htmlText)
Basically what I do is when the text field looses focus after editting
I run the checkDimensions function which does my truncation but also
stores the complete text. When the user brings the textfield back in
to focus I replace the truncated text with the complete text I have
stored.

I'm pretty sure the text field trick should work because it forces the font to be registered. Just embedding fonts in your library won't be enough if they are accessed via code only.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems creating a drag and drop
Hey Glen when you say your mouse up is outside the stage do you mean
that the mouse up is occurring outside of the dragged object in which
case the object catching the up event is the stage object. (Rest of
your sentence seems to imply that.)
Susan, if you imagine your cursor moving faster than the drag object
can keep up then what happens is the mouse up occurs outside of the
object but since there is no built in mouseUpOutside event you are
going to have to build your own. If you google senocular as3
mouseupoutside you should get some good hits on tutorials explaining
how to use the stage object to catch these mouse up events.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with listener for custom class (AS3)
Hi Dane,
Here are some thoughts for you to try. First off since you are not
actually working with a display object you don't need this class to extend
sprite. The easiest way to give the class the ability to send out events
is to have it extend EventDispatcher and then you can have it dispatch
events as required... here is you sample pared down a bit, just dealing
with xml
package {
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
public class fileImports extends EventDispatcher {
public var newStyleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
public var newXML:XML = new XML();
public function fileImports(xmlFile:String):void {
var xmlToLoad:URLRequest=new URLRequest(xmlFile);
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
xmlLoader.load(xmlToLoad);
//event listeners
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,xmlLoaded);
}
public function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
newXML = XML(event.target.data);
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
}
}
}
then in the movie calling the class
var tFile = new fileImports(data/xml/presenter1.xml);
tFile.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlDone);
function xmlDone(e:Event){
trace(done);
}

XML. Right now if I try to use fileForThis.newXML I get a value of
null.
But if I put a trace on newXML in the class, it shows the content of my
XML
file.
I have gotten this to work on other projects because I haven't tried to
use
the data immediately - so the data has time to process before it's put
into a text field, etc.
I appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks!

[Flashcoders] Live Preview communicating with Flash
I'm playing around with components some more in Flash and am trying to figure out a way for the live preview to get the file name of the currently active document in Flash. I was wondering if this might be doable using the ExternalInterface class. While I can get the live preview to tell be that an external interface is available I can't work out what functions I can call to the application hosting that live preview(i'm assuming that is Flash itself) and if there is a call that would return the file name of the current document.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
If you want to call addChild on the content then you can simply do:
addChild(event.target.content)
and that will throw your content on the stage. I'm not sure why it is not
possible to name that new content. I've tried playing around with this
myself and can't figure out how once you've loaded the content you can
access that content as a class. I've loaded up swfs and can reference
classes within the swf no problem and create instances of those classes
but if I try to get a class definition for the content all I can get is
MovieClip and I can't figure out how to create new instances of the that
loaded content without running another loader
Not sure if that helps you any or not.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
Another workaround that I've been using is to use the loading swf as
wrapper for the movieClip I ultimately want to display on the stage.
Create the content you want to use as movieClip symbol in your swf, export
for actionscript, no need to put it on the stage, and give it a class
name. Now you can load the wrapper swf. As soon as you do all the classes
in that wrapper will be available throughout your project and you can
access them by name. Untested e-mail code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pageSource);
loader.load(request);
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(myClassInMySwf) as Class;
var newClip:MovieClip = new myClass();
newClip.name = test;
addChild(newClip);
}
This way you can create a library of swfs that you can load in and use as
required. If you make two libraries with the class internally named the
same then you can change up your app just by loading in a different
library swf.

What's wrong in the class below? The code in the mouseover/mouseout

Hi Dennis,
Made a small change to your code by moving the variable hello outside of
the function and into
the level of the class so that all functions in the class can access this
variable
When you build you project I am assuming that you created a movie clip in
the library then in the properties you set the class to be Location. Then
dragged an instance of the Movieclip onto the stage and named it. The
thing you have to be aware of is that the mouseevents you are setting up
are associated with the movieclip and not the text field. It is the
rolling into and out of the movieclip that will change the visibility.
With this in mind you will have to have something occuping space in your
movie clip, create a filled square for example. If you don't have any
objects in your movieclip then the clip will not have any dimensions so a
mouseover will never be registered and you will never see the text appear.
You can also try adding the movieclip dynamically via actionscript by
having this in a frame script:
var my_mc:Location = new Location();
this.addChild(my_mc);
and you rollover effect will work as well.

Rob

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the suggestion but still no luck on my end.
It seems that on my set up I need to have a constructor named the same as
the .as file and that constructor has to be initiated prior to any of the
other classes being initiated. So I set up
public class MyPackage{
public function MyPackage{
}
}
and then can either do an import or set up the .as file as my document
class and after that I can access HelloWorld or MyClass. This seems to
follow the examples that came with the Flash 9 alpha, which all use the
document class approach and none of the .as files has more than one class
in them, even though you can put more than one class inside. So I'm still
a bit flummoxed as to how the package is working for Jason and not me, ah
well. Probably something stupid I'm doing and the light will go in a few
days.
Just to complete this I've also tried creating a folder called MyPackage
and putting the .as files in there and again without the constructor named
the same as the .as file it did not work
My understanding of 'package' is that the dot path that occurs after it is
the path to the .as file so if the MyPackage.as is sitting in the same
directory as your .fla then I would only have 'package' at the top of the
file, if it were in a directory called MyPackage then the syntax would be
package MyPackage
thanks for ideas,
Rob

In your HelloWorld class you've added your textField inside but since you

will never get drawn.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 3.0 - Typecast a new Obj instantiated from a library linked class to a 'displayObject'
Hi Dave, I'm not sure you need to be accessing your bitmap via a movieClip. I'm doing something similar but I use the bitmap directly from the library. I se the bitmap up an auto generated class using 'Linkage' i.e. 'myBitmap' then if I need the bitmapData in yourscript simply say: var myBitmapData:myBitmap = new myBitmap(); var myBitmapInstance:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData, auto, true); this.addChild(myBitmapInstance); No need for a movieClip. I'm going to guess that when you use the movieClip you are accessing the bitmap as a child of that movieClip and trying to extract the bitmapData from that. I tried a similar approach and it did not work. Seems that bitmaps assigned in authoring mode return a type of Shape and not Bitmap when you try to access them. I'm guessing this is a bug in the alpha version. hth, Rob On Fri, 23 Feb 2007 13:12:55 -0500, Dave Geurts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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)'.
