[Flashcoders] letter spacing on input text
Dear Flashcoders, I have stumbled across an interesting issue when I was looking for different ways of creating an input box. The way I chose, is because it's the simplest one is to crete it on the authoring time. The path that I followed was simple, I Created three textboxes, converted them into input text, set their text spacing to 5, and their alpha to 78. and select some font and embed certain latin characters. Then I put some text in the box too. and when I test this piece, unfortunately it's giving me total random results. http://share.klaweht.com/placeholder.swf here's the swf file I uploaded. First of all, it doesn't load with alpha in the beginning. If I go ahead and do a backspace on any of the text box and delete the text and start typing again, if it's the first attempt, it works without alpha and with correct letter spacing. BUT, when I press tab to move into the next textBox, and delete the contents and try to type, it gives me the correct alpha and 0 text letter spacing. If you try to rerun this swf, you will see that it gives you those in random order. I don't really know what's going. I don't like to jump so quickly that to tell this is a bug but I am really curious to see what you got. If I create everything in the code, it works fine by the way. Please let me know your results. best, ilteris ___ 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] textfield woes.
Hello List, Very basic question. Basically I created a new font in my flash library and put this code in the timeline. this.createTextField(mytext, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 100, 300, 200); mytext.multiline = false; mytext.type = input; mytext.embedFonts = true; mytext.restrict = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0; mytext.border = true; mytext.maxChars = 8; var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); format1.letterSpacing = 2; format1.font = HelveticaNeue; mytext.text = ; mytext.setTextFormat(format1); my question is, this code works fine, creates a textfield and I can type numbers in that textfield without problems. Only problem is I do have a space in the textfield. So when I go ahead and change the line to mytext.text = ; now it doesn't have any space at all. but flash doesn't allow me to type anything on the text field. Can someone confirm this for me? Please? best, ilteris ___ 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] textfield woes.
restrict is wrong. you are right. but that didn't really effect it. but this truely did. mytext.setNewTextFormat(format1); nevertheless, thanks for the link.

[Flashcoders] object Arrays
Hello All,
Basically I am trying to create a object which I can pass to my array
and then access some properties of this object. Only problem is, I am
trying to achieve this in a class.
Basically I declared my array as a class variable and then
instantiated it in my constructor function in the class. I do have
this function which is supposedly to create an object with certain
properties.
private function lizPieceObj(levelup:MovieClip, lizPieceMc:MovieClip,
masker:MovieClip, levelMasker:MovieClip) {
// build an obj to mimick 2d array.
this.levelup = levelup;
this.lizPieceMC = lizPieceMC;
this.masker = masker;
this.levelMasker = levelMasker;
}
Here is, in another function, I am trying to create this object.
piecesArray[index] = new lizPieceObj(levelup, lizPieceMc, masker,
levelMasker);
in order to access them later like
piecesArray[index].levelup, piecesArray[index].masker etc.
But upon compilingthe code, I do get this error. There is no property
with the name levelup. There is no property with the name lizPiece,
There is no property with the name masker etc.
you get the idea.
I am assuming this is something to do with scope. I am yet not sure
how to deal with it though.
Thanks a lot.

[Flashcoders] bitmapData copypixels()
Hey Flashcoders,
I am creating an empty movieclip and loading an image to it. Then I
am basically copying this movieclip into a bitmap. The reason I am
doing this is, in the next step I am slicing up the bitmap into
different pieces. I think my question is, am I doing an additional
step first copying the whole movieclip into a whole bitmap? Can I
just slice it up into pieces of bitmap from its movieclip stage?
A friend of mine mentioned about just slicing it up with draw()
method instead of copyPixels(). What would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(tempMC,1,{_alpha:0});
var theLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var theListener:Object = new Object();
theLoader.addListener(theListener);
theListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {
bitmapPic = new BitmapData(_root.tempMC._width, _root.tempMC._height);
bitmapPic.draw(mc,new Matrix());
// draw(bigPicture, null, null, null, new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 100));
_root.tempMC.removeMovieClip();
for (var i:Number = 0; itotalNumPieces; i++) {
lizPiece = new BitmapData(pieceWidth, pieceHeight);
lizPiece.copyPixels(bitmapPic,new Rectangle(x, y, pieceWidth,
pieceHeight),new Point(0, 0));
makeLizPiece(lizPiece,x,y,i);
x += pieceWidth;
if (x=bitmapPic.width) {
x = 0;
y += pieceHeight;
}
}
};
theLoader.loadClip(liz.jpg,_root.tempMC);

[Flashcoders] bitmapData object placing.
Hello FlashCoders, I am loading an image into a MC and then copying this into a bitmapData object and then creating multiple bitmap objects in order to copy various parts of this image. What I am wondering is, in order to display those slices on the screen in different locations I can go two different ways. One is, creating those small bitmaps and then attaching them into their separate MCs and then setting _x and _y properties of those movieclips. The other is, supplying a translated matrix argument when drawing this bitmap which would set it again in my desired place. Which way would you recommend me to go in this junction preferably CPU wise. best, ilteris ___ 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

Hi ilteris,
Not completely sure what you want to do but assuming you want to change
the colour of the sprite upon mouse click you'd have to set the offsets
to something greater than zero. Say you want to change the colour of the
shape to blue, than your code would look something like below (mind the
value of the .blueOffset property):
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
public class ColorTransforma extends Sprite {
var _sprite:Sprite;
var color:ColorTransform;
public function ColorTransforma() {
_sprite = new Sprite();
_sprite.graphics.lineStyle( );
_sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xAABBCC);
_sprite.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
_sprite.graphics.endFill( );
addChild(_sprite);
_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onMouseDown);
color = _sprite.transform.colorTransform;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
public function changeColor() {
color.redOffset = 0;
color.greenOffset = 0;
color.blueOffset = 255;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
changeColor();
trace(yay);
}
}
}

[Flashcoders] Re: [as3]setting kerning of a dynamic text
Ok I have found out that I need to use textformat.letterSpacing
property.
But I am still confused how to load multiple typefaces into my project.
Here is how I am doing it:
[Embed(source='din.swf', fontName='akzidenzBold' ,
mimeType='application/x-font')]
public class Loadfont extends Sprite {
//[Embed(source='font.swf', symbol='akzidenzBold' )]
private var _timer:Timer;
private var tf:TextField;
public function Loadfont() {
tf = new TextField();
test();
listFonts();
_timer = new Timer(1);
_timer.addEventListener(timer, onTimer);
_timer.start( );
}
public function test():void {
var defaultTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.embedFonts = true;
defaultTextFormat.font = Akzidenz BE Bold;
tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.border = false;
tf.text = blah blah blah\nblah blah blah\nblah blah blah
;
defaultTextFormat.letterSpacing = -3;
tf.setTextFormat(defaultTextFormat);
// tf.rotation += 2;
addChild(tf);
}
This basically doesn't work. Can someone help me figure out why?

Re: [Flashcoders] [as3] mouseEvents are not triggering
Thanks Atila,
I am totally new to programming in as3 and I am trying to make sense :)
I though it would be a good idea to keep the mouseEvents on the main
class file along with everything but as you said I moved it from there
to particleManager and it solved my problem. thanks.

Hello All,
I am having a difficulty using mouseEvents in AS3.0 with Flex

different. It is like this: I do have some circles which is

particleManager with addChild method in order to render it on the

it. And in the below code, I didn't do anything different, I just

Hello Flash Folks, I am trying to access stage.stageWidth property in order to be able to give certain x,y values to my objects when they are created. So when I went ahead tried to use stage.stageWidth by just tracing like trace(stage.stageWidth); this causing flash player 9 to throw an error to me: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ParticleManager$iinit() at Moodbox2$iinit() so what I am guessing is stage object is not instantiated when I am trying to call it.

[Flashcoders] [as3] embedded fonts from external swfs.
Hello Flashcoders,
I am working on a project where I need to embed multiple typefaces in
my AS3 project. Here is what I got so far. I could happened to open
my flash 8 and create multiple font symbols and add a linkage and
check them to export them for actionscript. Then I put that file in
my AS3 project where I am developing using Flex Builder 2.
Then I just hacked an existing example with mashing flex2 examples on
adobe labs. My file name for flash 8 swf is din.swf and I went
ahead and added this line in the beginning of my project:
[Embed(source='din.swf', symbol='dinBold' )]
this worked perfectly! So the symbol 'dinBold' was its linkage name
when I was exporting it form flash 8. so far so good, but my problem
is how could I use this to import multiple typefaces?
When I go to extract multiple symbols from the same swf it simply
doesn't work. I have been following this from the flex docs at the
adobe lab so I couldn't understand why this is not working.
[Embed(source='din.swf', symbol='dinBold' )]// linkage name dinBold
[Embed(source='din.swf', symbol='dinLight' )] // linkage name dinLight
I can create a unique swf for each of the typeface but then this is
really cumbersome and I think there should be a way to import
multiple symbols from the same swf.
Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] [as3] addchild()
Hello Dear Flashcoders, I am trying to create a particle system in AS3 in flex builder 2. so my structure is like this: I do have a main class of the program, I do have Circle class and I do have CircleManager class which handles all initialization and declarations about circle objects. What I am having difficulty is the rendering process. Before adding this CircleManager class, the way I created Circle class was to extend Shape class and use it according to my needs and then in the main class I could able to add it like; // main class var c:Circle = new Circle(); c.draw(); addchild(c); but since I added my CircleManager class and even I did the changes I was supposed to do, I think I am still missing something since I don't see anything on the screen. What I did was I create a CircleManager class and move all declarations of circle to here. for my main I changed it like below: // main class var c:CircleManager = new CircleManager(); c.draw(); addchild(c); This first gave me error and it made sense. I forgot to extend my CircleManager class with sprite or shape in order to be able to use it with addChild. So I went ahead and added extend Shape to my CircleManager class. It corrected the error but when I ran this I don't see anything on the screen. When I debug the code I can trace the x,y values for Circles. So my questions: Should I still be adding all the circle objects with addchild() method in order to render them on the screen? Isn't there a way to just add my CircleManager and let it do the job? Should I make Circle subclass of CircleManager in order to do it? I am looking forward to your advices. best, ilteris ___ 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] timeline function call from inside of a class
Hi List,
I am trying to call a function I have created on the timeline of some
movieclip from inside of a class I have created. It looks like I
cannot do that, as it is giving me undefined when I trace the
function. Is this doable in AS2.0 or not? Is there workaround I
should follow and please enlighten me if I am missing something!
as a code example:
in my _root.main :
function foo() {
trace(foo);
}
and in my class I am trying to access this function by;
_root.main.foo();
***
is this doable?
thanks in advance
ilteris kaplan

Re: [Flashcoders] timeline function call from inside of a class
yep, it looks like it exists, my problem is somewhere else probably.
thanks!!

[Flashcoders] private property doesn't get called?
Hello I am having a really strange problem here.
I have a boolean property in my class and I am trying to set its
value to true as it should be, but it looks like it didn't get even
instantiated in the class. Briefly in my class first sendVar method
gets call from outside and pass two Number value to two properties
(_current, _previous).
According to those values I do instantiate openCanvas() method from
outside which calls a delegated function canvasOpenFinished(). So it
triggers openSection() and with the help of closeButton function
(which is also delegated from onPress() inside of canvasOpenFinished
()) I trigger closeSection() method and then things get funky here. I
call an outside function which after done triggers closeCanvas() in
this class. And closeCanvas() triggers canvasClosedFinished() method
and this is where I check if my property(this.flag) is true or
false. Only the trace tells me it is undefined!
What is it I am missing here? I am looking for your advices!!
ilteris.
Here is my class:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
class Canvas {
private var tween1:Tween;
private var tween2:Tween;
public var mc:MovieClip;
public var closeBtn:MovieClip;
private var _level:Number;
private var flag:Boolean; // this is the property I am talking about
public var _current:Number;
public var _previous:Number;
// Constructor
public function Canvas(timeline:MovieClip, level:Number, y_:Number) {
mc = timeline.attachMovie(canvas, kanvas, level, {_x:158,
_y:y_, _width:0});
mc.obj = this; //
_level = level;
}
public function openCanvas() {
tween1 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 0, 673, 1, true);
tween1.onMotionFinished = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
canvasOpenFinished);
}
public function closeCanvas() {
tween2 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 673, 0, 1, true);
tween2.onMotionFinished = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
canvasCloseFinished);
}
public function canvasOpenFinished() {
trace(canvas is open);
// we add our button on the right up corner.
closeBtn = this.mc.attachMovie(closebtn, _closeBtn, _level+1,
{_x:657, _y:4});
//closebutton is a method to call when we want to close the
section
// and the canvas without opening new one.
closeBtn.onPress = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, closeButton);
// check if there is already an opened section here
if (_previous == null) {
openSection();
} else {
// method to close an already opened link and canvas
here!
}
}
public function canvasCloseFinished() {
// trace(current: + this._current);
// trace(previous: + this._previous);
if (!this.flag) {
this.openCanvas();
} else {
_root.main.prevMovie.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.main.prevMovie.teks.textColor = 0xff;
}
}
public function openSection() {
_root.main[container+_current]._visible = true;
_root.main[container+_current].main.startAnimation();
}
public function closeSection() {
// if(_previous != _current) {
// trigger closeCanvas inside of loaded swf's method
finishAnimation!
// I must find a better way of doing this.
_root.main[container+_current].main.finishAnimation();
// else {
//_root.main[container+ _previous].main.finishAnimation();
// }
}
public function closeButton() {
trace(flag: + this.flag); // undefined
this.flag = true;
// call closesection function
// which will call finishAnimation() of a loaded mc!
closeSection();
this.mc._closeBtn.removeMovieClip();
_root.main.prev = null;
}
public function sendVar(cur_:Number, prev_:Number) {
_current = cur_;
_previous = prev_;
}
}

[Flashcoders] delegate and proxy
Hello List,
I am trying to pass a parameter to my function with the help of
delegate or proxy but I couldn't succeed in both :(
I have read http://www.person13.com/articles/proxy/Proxy.htm but
still couldn't quite figure out how I should do it. Honestly I begin
to feel like dumb four in the morning.
please let me know what I am missing here!!
best,
ilteris.
import ascb.util.Proxy;
function finishAnimation(_mc:MovieClip) { // mc is my movieclip I am
passing inside of this function
// I am trying to pass _mc as a parameter to endOfMotion() method
var tween4 = new Tween(image, _alpha,
mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 100, 0, 3, true);
tween4.onMotionFinished = ascb.util.Proxy.create(this, endOfMotion,
_mc);
}
function endOfMotion(_mc:MovieClip) {
// this.obj.canv.closeCanvas();
trace(_mc); // when I trace it, it still gives me [Tween]
}

[Flashcoders] delegating inside a tween class
Dear List,
I am trying to use tween's onMotionFinished method in order to make
use of this, only when I try to call it normally (see closeCanvas
method below) and trace(mc) it traces undefined. So when I tried to
delegate onMotionFinished, I stumbled accross another problem. This
time since tween1 is instantiated insideof the openCanvas method,
delegating it in the constructor doesn't help at all.
So what should I do to workaround this? Basically I am trying to
trigger an event when the motionFinished.
IS using tween inside classes is a bad habit, should I take the code
to the timeline? I really appreciate advices and helps!!
best,
ilteris.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
class Canvas {
private var tween1:Tween;
private var tween2:Tween;
public var mc:MovieClip;
// Constructor
public function Canvas(timeline:MovieClip, level:Number, y_:Number) {
mc = timeline.attachMovie(canvas, canvasS, level, {_x:158,
_y:y_, _width:0});
this.tween1.onMotionFinished = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
this.mcMotionFinished);
}
public function openCanvas() {
tween1 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 0, 673, 3, true);
mcMotionFinished(); // this doesn't scope to the class
}
public function mcMotionFinished() {
trace(this); // I am assuming this should scope to
// the class only I am not able
to call this method.
}
public function closeCanvas() {
tween2 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 673, 0, 2, true);
tween2.onMotionFinished = function() {
trace(mc) // nope, this scope to the tween itself.
// check which one is pressed for next!
}
}
}

Helen,
you just saved my day! I wish you were here and I bought you a brunch!!

ilteris,
You can't assign a function to the onMotionFinished property (in
the constructor) before the Tween instance has been created (in
openCanvas). Those should be more like:
public function Canvas(timeline:MovieClip, level:Number, y_:Number) {
mc = timeline.attachMovie(canvas, canvasS, level, {_x:
158, _y:y_, _width:0});
}
public function openCanvas() {
tween1 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 0, 673, 3, true);
tween1.onMotionFinished = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
mcMotionFinished);
}
