It's free to install locally, and works with like 5 IP's in developer 
edition mode.  Then, you can hit debug, and look at the improved v2 code to 
see how they implemented the dropshadow.

... and Flex 1.5 will also cost you $15,000.00 USD.  Rather expensive for a

I didn't say it can't be done. I said it wasnt the smart thing to do. If
you work with someone elses framework but can't subclass or supply your
own prototypes along the road, you got a pretty shit deal in my opinion.
Funny this comes up now, so soon after we discussed the value of
properly organizing your depths, spacing them out to make room for
adjustments and extra content. In my window class, the base clip is
empty, with the first layer of graphics being drawn on level 10 of that
clip. This gives me 10 depths to stick whatever frivolous junk i want
underneath the window.

>The new DropShadowFilter works on the principle I described

Not at all really. Any filtered movieclip in Flash 8 is bitmap cached,
and is thus rendered by the bitmap renderer, which filters a given
movieClip based on the contents of its filters array. You don't assign a
clip to a filter, you assign a filter to a clip. Which goes along the
same lines of what i described. Since you're not actually filtering
anything in flash 7, the smart thing to do is draw the dropshadow in the
same process that draws/rescales your windows.

>You could do it in Flash 7, but it would take a lot more code than

It would take a lot more code than i WOULD write in one minute. Don't
get all fussy with me. First i assumed you were using flash 8 (in which
the solution is laughably easy) and merely urged you to find your own
solution. Then, as i realise you're stuck with flash 7, i urge you to
pursue a solution that's not a hack, but stable, reliable and smart. If
my boss asks me to add a dropshadow to a framework that is prohibitive
against a smart solution, i'll tell him it's a frivolous thing to spend
so much time on, given the limitations of the project. Choose your
battles. Complex doesn't mean it's smart.

Your real problem stems from the fact that you can't attach the drop
shadow clip to the clip you want drop shadowed, mostly because you also
want the clip to be resizable and drawing the drop shadow would be
dependant on the clip's width and height. Drawing in a clip alters its
width and height with every lineTo, which means you need to do something
like store the clip's "real" width and height to some temporary variable
before updating, based on whatever width it originally had. So say you
do a different thing, and draw all the drop shadows on a completely
separate clip on a lower depth, so all your dropshadowed clips are being
drawn together. The problem then is managing their depths in relation
not only to the clip they're shadowing, but also of other clips,
shadowed or unshadowed.

The actionscript solution to the problem as you describe it sounds, in
my book, a lot like skiing on tarmac. And i tend to be mr can-do.

As noted, I am working within another developer's framework, and cannot make 
fundamental design changes at this time. The new DropShadowFilter works on 
the principle I described, you register a view and bang, full functionality 
in a couple of lines of code. You could do it in Flash 7, but it would take 
a lot more code than even you could write in one minute.

  Any classes that do this would be greatly appreciated.

Hahahah. Dude. Write your own classes. That class would take me less

I'd still get PAID for that minute though at work.

Open flash, hit F1. Learn. You'll love yourself for it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic drop shadow

2006-02-17 Thread Philip Smith
  The window pane is constantly resizing. I'm working within the framework 
of another developer's project, and an encapsulated Flash 7 class would be 
the solution I would like to implement, one that is also less memory 
intensive than the new DropShadow filter class.


Thanks,

Philip

Thanks for the responses. Is there an AS 2.0 equivalent AS 2.0 Flash 7
version of the Quasi file?

  I know the drop shadow can be created with a shape tweening class
from
scratch, but there is not enough time in this project for that. I found
the
Flash 8 DropShadowFilter class which enabled me to create the effect in
about two minutes, but the client may not want to output for the Flash 8

player.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic drop shadow

2006-02-17 Thread Philip Smith
Thanks for the responses. Is there an AS 2.0 equivalent AS 2.0 Flash 7 
version of the Quasi file?


  I know the drop shadow can be created with a shape tweening class from 
scratch, but there is not enough time in this project for that. I found the 
Flash 8 DropShadowFilter class which enabled me to create the effect in 
about two minutes, but the client may not want to output for the Flash 8 
player.

Hi there,

   I'm looking for an AS2 class that will provide a drop shadow for a 
window pane that is continually resizing. I would prefer a class with an 
easy interface, that allows a movie clip to be registered as the clip to 
be shadowed, with a constant loop running inside of it to keep the shadow 
proportional.


  Any classes that do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hahahah. Dude. Write your own classes. That class would take me less than 
a minute to write, and i'm not a particularly clever guy.

I'd still get PAID for that minute though at work.

Open flash, hit F1. Learn. You'll love yourself for it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic drop shadow

2006-02-17 Thread Charles Parcell
I wouldn't have such a class loop to keep checking the dropshadow. There
really is no need. The dropshadow is always rendered from the visible part
of a MC. So if the MC is resized then it too resizes.

You don't even need a class to do that really... apply a dropShadow filter
to it and you're done.
