Re: [Flashcoders] isseu with a custom function in AS2
Hi Jimmi,
I made a class that does just that (and a little bit more).
I can send it to you off list if you wish.
HTH,

Good morning,
I have made a function that adds interpunction marks to a value, for
example the value 1 gets changed to 10.000, 10 to 100.000 and
so forth.
The function work fine, but I'm trying to make it reusable so that i
can use it in a large scale project. That's where the problem comes
up.
This is what the working code looks like:
//
//
var outputNumber:Number = 1 // input value
var outputString:String = new String();
function init ()
{
outputString = String(Number(outputNumber));
interpunk (outputString);
trace(outputNumber); // output is 1
trace(outputString); // output is 10.000
}
function interpunk (par1):Void
{
trace(par1)
switch (par1.length)
{
case 4 :
outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + "." +
par1.slice (1))
break;
case 5 :
outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) +
"." +
par1.slice (2))
break;
case 6 :
outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1)
+
par1.charAt (2) + "." + par1.slice (3))
break;
default :
outputString = String(par1)
break;
}
}
init ();
//
//
So i tried to make it reusable, so i tried this(changed
outputString to par1).
But now the value comes out unchanged so 1 stays 1, while i
expected it to become 10.000.
I hope someone can help i the right direction.
This is what the non working code looks like :
//
//
function interpunk (par1):Void
{
trace(par1)
switch (par1.length)
{
case 4 :
par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + "." + par1.slice (1))
break;
case 5 :
par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) + "." +
par1.slice (2))
break;
case 6 :
par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) +
par1.charAt (2) +
"." + par1.slice (3))
break;
default :
par1 = String(par1)
break;
}
}
//

weird,

path to the button like this:
Eg:
_root.stage_mc.quote_mc.close_btn.gotoAndPlay("close");
Where "_root.stage_mc" is in Movie1 and ".quote_mc.close_btn" is
inside Movie2 swf.
_root.stage_mc is what Movie2 is loaded into.
Am I missing something here? Shouldn't the button in Movie2 work
with a relative path?
Eg:
this.quote_mc.close_btn.gotoAndPlay("close");
?

Re: [Flashcoders] Searching all ActionScript in an FLA
Hi list, I have a .fla with symbols in the library and a docClass.as going with it. When I publish, I get the following waring message: "WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored." But I can't find any. Not with Edit -> Find and Replace. And also the tree in the actions panel contains just 1 frame with one empty line (I'm absolutely sure, also no invisible characters). What can I do to get rid of the annoying warning? Thanks, Willem van den Goorbergh On 17-sep-2009, at 13:32, Glen Pike wrote: F9 brings up the Actionscript editor for an open FLA file.

Try using "find and replace", just make sure your not selecting anything. No frames, no MCs. Click off stage once just to make sure before you use "find and replace". It should search everything. You can also find actions for everything in your FLA by looking at the window on the left of your actionscript pane (where you type your AS). There are usually two windows just to the left. One on top with pre-written stuff and then a tree of all the frames and symbols that have AS on them. If you select one it will take you to that spot in your AS pane so you can edit it. the AS you select will move to the top of the tree and be called "Current Selection". EG: (a frame icon) Layer 1 : Frame 1 you may have to open these two windows up. they are not by default opened up (I think) but if you do, just look at the left edge of your AS pane. on the edge in the middle of it, there will be a small box with a triangle in it. click it and you'll see what I mean, then look at the bottom of that windows edge for another box with a triangle pointing up. this is the window you want.

Re: [Flashcoders] add properties to Event object
Hi Andew,
Just a month ago Jason posted a very very usefull note on how to
write custom events.
See below:
Here is how you write a custom event:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class MyEvent extends Event
{
public static var SOUND_REQUESTED:String =
"sound_requested";
public function MyEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function clone():Event
{
return new MyEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function toString():String
{
return formatToString("MyEvent", "type",
"bubbles", "cancelable", "eventPhase");
}
}
}
Here is how you would dispatch that event with bubbling:
dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(MyEvent.SOUND_REQUESTED, true));
Here is how you would listen for it and handle it anywhere in the
display chain:
addEventListener(MyEvent.SOUND_REQUESTED, onSoundRequested);
function onSoundRequested(event:MyEvent):void
{
//Code to play sound here.
}

Event is not a dynamic class. In AS3, you can only add properties to
dynamic classes. So, as everyone else has mentioned, you have to
extend Event to create a custom event class. Don't forget to override
the clone method and create a new event!

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime Font embedding

Re: [Flashcoders] Finding and Removing a Sprite
Hi Theodore,
var mySprite:Sprite;
Do this:
function createBar(dfile:String):void {
...
mySprite = new Sprite();
function createGraph():void {
mySprite.graphics.
addChild(mySprite);
}
}
You declared mySprite inside the function, so it's not accessible
outside that function.
Declaring mySprite outside the function makes it accessible to other
functions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Finding and Removing a Sprite: PART II
You could create an empty array (outside the functions)
And add each newly created bar to the array.
Afterwards, say in another function, you can reference the array
indexes.
Something like:
myBarsArray = new Array();
function createBars():void
{
for (var i:int=0; iSo here is my next issue... One of the functions creates a dynamic
amount sprites based on an xml feed, like so
function createBars():void
{
for (var i:int=0; iAnd see this this is where my ears start to bleed... this is
seemingly creating, say, 9 Sprites ALL with the same name "bar"
I need to keep the new Sprite() line in the loop for them to be
created... but then I need some way to access them to delete them
Any ideas?

I don't think a class can have children, only instances of classes can. (skating on thin ice now ;-)) Also I don't know by heart all the error codes. So please, if you refer to an error code give the full text. I bet your trace resulted in something like [object, MyClass], litteraly meaning that the parent is an object and an instance of MyClass. Somewhere you have created that instance with myVar = new MyClass(); so the parent is accessible through myVar. Also: somewhere you have added my_obj to myVar with myVar.addChild (my_obj) Remove it with myVar.removeChild(my_obj) If you did just 'addChild(my_obj)' (that is within myVar) you can say 'removeChild(my_obj)' (of course also within myVar) HTH Willem On 24-feb-2010, at 15:24, Susan Day wrote: On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 9:44 AM, Geografiek wrote: Well, You could at least give a hint as to what _does_ work: trace(my_obj.parent); Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite
No,
mSprite.x = 0 refers to the x-position of mSprite in the coordinate
space of mSprite's parent (which is (0,0) by default if you never set
it).
The expected x=15 is the position of the newly drawn rectangle in the
coordinate space of mSprite.
localToGlobal does not refer to Points per se (as mentioned in your
earlier post) but it lets you swap the local coordinate space of an
object with the global coordinate space (i.e. the coordinate space of
the stage)

Re: [Flashcoders] (no subject)
Thanks Paul,
Sorry for forgetting the subject line. Won't happen again ;-)
You're right about the Object as an Array I guess I can just create
an associative array instead of an object, althoug Moock states that
both approaches are common practice.
I solved (or rather circumvented) my problem by comparing the names
of myObj and the item clicked
Your idea was nice, but it didn't solve my problem.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I have a lot of 'myArray''s and I
need to know which property 'select' to set when clicking an item ->
the 'select' that is in the same array as the item clicked on.
The theoretical problem remains: myArray knows it contains item1 but
does item1 have a way of knowing it is part of myArray?
thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener Problem
Hi Susan,
In DisplayPicLoaded you add displayObject as a child of container.
So in navToURL you can reference it as e.currentTarget.displayObject

Thank you all. Yes, yesterday's lesson was brought to me by the
letter 'N'
lol.
Today's lesson is different. Here's my code:
function DisplayPicLoaded(evt:Event):void
{
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var myXArray:Array = new Array(10,176,342,508,674,840);
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
var displayObject:DisplayObject = loaderInfo.content;
displayObject.width = 150;
displayObject.height = 150;
displayObject.x = myXArray[countRounds];
displayObject.y = 10;
displayObject.filters = [createBevel()];
container.addChild(displayObject);
addChild(container);
navPics.push(displayObject);
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navToURL);
if (countRounds < 5)
{
countRounds++;
init();
}
}
function navToURL(e:Event):void
{
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navToURL);
Navigate.to("test.html");
}
The above code works fine, but it's only a baby-step toward what I
need. I'm
confused how to change "test.html" into a dynamic url that depends
on which
iteration of the displayObject is created in DisplayPicLoaded. I
believe I'm
supposed to use "e.currentTarget.???" and that's where I'm lost. Of
course,
e.currentTarget refers to "container", not displayObject. Perhaps I
could
add an URL element to "container" in DisplayPicLoaded, then
reference it in
navToURL. Please advise.
TIA,
Susan

Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener Problem
Hi Susan,
Didn't you attach that url in DisplayPicLoaded in the line
displayObject.url = myURLs[countRounds];?
Error 1119 has to do with referring to a non-existent property. Do
you know which?
Tracing is your friend here I would say.
To be honest I don't know if the Navigate.to line is correct AS3.

Half-way there. I now have this code:
function DisplayPicLoaded(evt:Event):void
{
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var myXArray:Array = new Array(10,176,342,508,674,840);
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
var displayObject:DisplayObject = loaderInfo.content;
displayObject.width = 150;
displayObject.height = 150;
displayObject.x = myXArray[countRounds];
displayObject.y = 10;
displayObject.url = myURLs[countRounds];
displayObject.filters = [createBevel()];
container.addChild(displayObject);
addChild(container);
navPics.push(displayObject);
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navToURL);
if (countRounds < 5)
{
countRounds++;
init();
}
}
function navToURL(e:Event):void
{
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navToURL);
Navigate.to(e.currentTarget.displayObject.url);
}
This throws an error 1119 on this line:
displayObject.url = myURLs[countRounds];
How do I attach that url?
TIA,
Susan

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing Symbol inside of loaded SWF
Oké, now I understand,
In that case you have to make sure that the user can click only when
the ball is loaded.
I guess you have an eventListener somewhere that listens for users to
click.
When you trace for the ball in that eventlistener, do you get the
expected reference to it?
Maybe your problem arises not from the ball not being loaded but from
a wrong referencing path.
So you need something like:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
and:
private function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myLoadedSwf.myBall.myStripeToRecolor);
//do recoloring stuff
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Passing Call To Child
Hi Susan,
The error means that 'e.currentTarget.getChildByName(aChild).text'
dies not exist.
I think the syntax should read e.currentTarget.getChildByName
("aChild").text (quotes around aChild as the name of an object is a
string)

If "aChild" is a public property of your currentTarget, your code

If not you can use getChildByName()/getChildAt()
It isn't, so I tried this code:
trace(e.currentTarget.getChildByName(aChild).text);
and while it didn't error, it didn't trace anything when I moused
over :(
Oops. My bad. Moused over the wrong widget. It threw this error:
1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object.
Now, aChild is generated anew with every iteration; however, it's
obviously
bound to the currentTarget. Please advise.

Yes I sent that to the wish list, to make AS4 fairer. ;-)
Did you try the quotes?

But it does too exist! Not fair! :(
I think the syntax should read
e.currentTarget.getChildByName("aChild").text (quotes around
aChild as the
name of an object is a string)
That made sense, but it still threw the same error. So I tried this:
trace(e.currentTarget.numChildren);
and that, too, threw the same error, collaborating with your
evaluation.
However, I have these lines in the code that calls the function
wherein the
trace is defined:
mySprite.addChild(aChild);
addChild(mySprite);
so clearly, mySprite, which is the currentTarget:
mySprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOverHandler);
does indeed have a child. (This is beginning to remind me of certain
deadbeat fathers who divorce their wives and don't pay alimony
lol.) What
do?

[Flashcoders] checking for properties AS3
Hi list,
I posted this question a week ago on flash tiger, but never got an answer. So I
try my luck here.
I create an object and dynamically assign properties to it, values from
xml-nodes.
If an xml-node has child nodes the property assigned is an object and the
values of the child nodes are assigned as properties to that object:
private function createProperties(node:XML, container:*):void {
for each (var childNode:XML in node.*) {
if(childNode.children().length() == 0) {
container[childNode.localName()] = null;
} else if(childNode.children().length() == 1) {
container[childNode.localName()] = childNode.*;
} else {
container[childNode.localName()] = new Object();
createProperties(childNode, container[childNode.localName()]);
}
}
}
Now I want to trace what properties are created with the following function:
private function traceProperties(object:Object):void {
for (var prop:* in object) {
trace(prop + " is: " + object[prop]);
traceProperties(prop);
}
if(object.hasOwnProperty("layers")) {
trace("this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title is: " +
this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title);
trace("this.classes.class1.keyText is: " + this.classes.class1.keyText);
}
}
This traces:
source is: null
note is: null
subTitle is: null
copyright is: Geografiek, 2011
mapType is: chorochromaat
classes is: [object Object]
key is: [object Object]
layers is: [object Object]
this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title is: gemeentenamen
this.classes.class1.keyText is: Noord-Nederland
>From this I gather that all properties are actually created on their desired
>level (last 2 traced lines).
But the function traceProperties() does not automatically catch all properties.
At least not the properies inside the objects
How do I check if an object has properties at all and how do I trace them?
TIA

Re: [Flashcoders] checking for properties AS3
Hi Cor thanks, but that won't do.
If I write a part out in a tree structure you'll see why:
map
map.classes
map.classes,class1
map.classes,class1.areaColor
map.classes,class1.value
...
map.classes,class2
map.classes,class2.areaColor
map.classes,class2.value
...
...
...
map.layers
...
...
...
With the node..* syntax all properties would be assigned to the same level
But within the classes part class1 and class2 both have a property 'value'.
class2.value would overwrite class1.value.
What I basically want is to transform the xml structure into an object
structure.
Any other takers?
Tanks

Re: [Flashcoders] checking for properties AS3
Hi Jens,
What I basically want is to transform the xml structure into an object
structure.
xml:
0xEBDBAA
RA01
0xEBDBAA
RA01
false
flash object:
map
map.classes
map.classes,class1
map.classes,class1.areaColor
map.classes,class1.value
...
map.classes,class2
map.classes,class2.areaColor
map.classes,class2.value
...
...
...
map.layers
...
...
...
Things seem to work, but I want to traverse the properties tree of the flash
object and can't get that part working.
Thanks,
Willem van den Goorbergh

[Flashcoders] AlivePDF + high resolution
Hi list, I use AlivePDF to create PDF files from a display container. All works well, except that the image in the pdf (created from vectors in the display container) is only 72dpi. I searched the web and found that the way to go is to create a high resolution (300dpi) image from the display container first and feed that image to AlivePDF. In Flex this is done using the mx.graphics.ImageSnapshot class. But my project is flash AS3 only and mx.graphics seems not to be available in Flash. Also AlivePDF supports high resolutions from v1.5. But the example I got from their website (code below) also seems to be Flex-only. [Embed( source="/assets/cover_300dpi.jpg", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )] private var jpgBytes:Class; myPdf.addImageStream( new jpgBytes() as ByteArray, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, ImageResize.RESIZE_PAGE ); My question: Are there any alternatives for Flash or is it possible to implement one of the previously mentioned Flex solutions in Flash anyway.

Hi Cor, I would say: 1) convert all the floating points in the currency values to points (I have a class that can do that if you need) 2) iterate through all the arrays, convert the items to number and if that value !NaN, push the currency values to a new array 3) sort the resulting array numerically and ... voila HTH Willem van den Goorbergh On 26 feb 2011, at 17:39, Cor wrote: > I read in a txt file with different formats which can be interpreted as > columns. > There are 3 types of text files where every line of text is formatted like > this: > > text - text - currency - currency - text - text - text > > or this: > > text - text - text - currency - currency - currency - text - text - text - > text > > or this: > > text - text - text - text - currency - currency - currency - currency - > text - text - text - text - text > > I trim of all the spaces and put every line in an multidimensional array > with every item in its sub-array > I then would like to detect which currency item is the lowest. > There are empty currency fields, so those have to be discarded. > All the items are String data type and the "floating point" is a comma > because it is a European format. > > How can I iterate through these items with the lowest price as result? > Also any better approach is appreciated! > > > regards, > Cor > > ___ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Geografiek is a Dutch, Utrecht-based map and chart design company.

Re: [Flashcoders] using "this" in AS3 classes?
Hi Micky,
Colin Moock (in EAS3) explicitly advises agains the redundant use of 'this' to
avoid visual clutter.
When you work in the Flash IDE though (sorry Jason) it has the advantage that
all variables and methods of 'this' are available in the code hinting
contextual menu. So I think it's really up to your own preference.

[Flashcoders] as3 component screen redraw
Hi list, In a large project I encounter a strange problem, which I don't know how to tackle. The project is almost done and only now it appears that a significant part of the targetted users view the project on a thin client with NX (? completely out of my league here). On 'normal' computers the project behaves as expected but on thin clients somethimes (not always) there are problems: >From what I have seen this is what happens: - the project loads properly, pulling in all external assets - regular Flash AS3 components do not redraw properly but behave as expected (e.g.: a button is not drawn on screen but for its label (with wrong font). But clicking the button label results in expected behaviour. I know nothing about thin clients, except from what wikipedia learns me (one of their drawbacks is poor multimedia performance) and, of course trouble shooting is next to impossible as I have no access to a thin client. My questions: Does this sound familiar to anybody? Is there anything I can do from the flash side?

Re: [Flashcoders] swf 2 pdf on the fly
Hi Cor and Rodrigo, I use AlivePdf a lot. I managed to get high resolution pdf's from swf's through a little custom class, I'm glad to share if you wish. I recognise the problems you describe Cor but afaik they do not affect the quality of my prints on both platforms. I googled "Warning: Filter will not render.

Re: [Flashcoders] alivePDF
Hi Rodrigo, No. as far as I understand the alivePDF methods are just about how the pdf is created, page size, orientation, meta information like key words, author etc. Basically you create your image (for instance like you said, create a layout and fill it with xml data in one mc) and 'feed' this image to AlivePDF. Don't expect a very versatile pdf however with forms and cross references. It is basically a rasterized version of your mc, wrapped in a pdf document.

Re: [Flashcoders] Image grid with zoom effect
At first I thought no, but maybe you do.
Here's some code I used for zooming
var oldScale:Number; // initial scale of the _dpoToZoom
var newScale:Number; // target scale of the _dpoToZoom
var scaleFactor:Number = newScale/oldScale;
var globalMouse:Point = new Point(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY);
var localMouse:Point = _dpoToZoom.parent.globalToLocal(globalMouse);
var deltaX:Number = localMouse.x - _dpoToZoom.x;
var deltaY:Number = localMouse.y - _dpoToZoom.y;
var newX:Number = Math.round((localMouse.x - (deltaX * scaleFactor)));
var newY:Number = Math.round((localMouse.y - (deltaY * scaleFactor)));
TweenLite.to(_dpoToZoom, _tweenDuration, {
scaleX:_currentScale,
scaleY:_currentScale,
x:newX,
y:newY,
ease:Cubic.easeOut,
});

Well, only when the mc is in the centre of the stage and when the left edge of the mc is at the 0-coordinate ;-) mc.x + mc.width/2 is the x-coordinate of the centre (when the left edge of the mc is at the 0-coordinate) Carry on. Draw it and use real values to test your formulas. HTH Willem On 27 dec 2011, at 14:25, natalia Vikhtinskaya wrote: > Thank you.

[Flashcoders] AS3: custom cursor
Hi list,
I posted the following question a few days ago on Flash Tiger but got
no response there.
Anybody here knows?
I have an mc attached to the mouse as a custom cursor.
Somehow I'm not able to click on buttons etc. in this setup anymore.
It seems as if the display items under the cursor do not recieve
moude events anymore because the custom cursor is intercepting the
clicks, although I set both _customCursor.mouseEnabled and
_customCursor.mouseChildren to false.
When I offset the _customCursor slightly from the actual
event.stageX and event.stageY position all works well.
What am I missing?
Here's the code:
//customCursor is called in mouseUp functions of individual tools
private function customCursor(event:MouseEvent):void {
Mouse.hide();
for(var kwik:uint = 0 ; kwik < _lengthAll ; kwik++) {

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: custom cursor
Thanks Cedric but that doesn't help.
Only if I get the custom cursor really out of the way (say 15 px or
so) the underlying button receives the event.
_customCursor.mouseEnabled and customCursor.mouseChildren both trace
'false'.
Shouldn't this this prevent the custom cursor from intercepting the
event?
Pulling my hair,
Willem

Hi list,
I posted the following question a few days ago on Flash Tiger but
got no response there.
Anybody here knows?
I have an mc attached to the mouse as a custom cursor.
Somehow I'm not able to click on buttons etc. in this setup anymore.
It seems as if the display items under the cursor do not recieve
moude events anymore because the custom cursor is intercepting the
clicks, although I set both _customCursor.mouseEnabled and
_customCursor.mouseChildren to false.
When I offset the _customCursor slightly from the actual
event.stageX and event.stageY position all works well.
What am I missing?
Here's the code:
//customCursor is called in mouseUp functions of individual tools
private function customCursor(event:MouseEvent):void {
Mouse.hide();
for(var kwik:uint = 0 ; kwik < _lengthAll ; kwik++) {
if(_allToolsArray[kwik].name != event.target.name)
//do nothing for the moment
} else if(_allToolsArray[kwik].name == event.target.name) {
_customCursor = _allToolsArray[kwik];
_customCursor.mouseEnabled = false;
_customCursor.mouseChildren = false;
_customCursor.backDrop.visible = false;
addChild(_customCursor);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,redrawCursor);
_customCursor.visible = true;
} else {

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: custom cursor
Thanks again Cedric,
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, redrawCursor, false);
didn't make any difference.
The custom cursor is an mc made up of shapes plus 1 child mc, called
'backDrop'.
backDrop in turn contains a child called 'backDropVis' + a
transparent shape to define the outer boundaries of the custom cursor.
But then again:
_customCursor.mouseEnabled and customCursor.mouseChildren both trace
'false'.
backDrop.visible = false
and shapes don't intercept events, do they?
I did a test with a custom cursor that contained nothing but a shape -
> same result.
I have no clue what's causing this.

I would say 'yes'. What type of graphic is your custom cursor

Out of curiosity and frivolity, did you try to set your listener

Hi Kerry, I understand you got an error not typing your variable in 'var clip = e.target;' I tried 'var type = "myType";', which gave no error. Appearantly in some cases you _need_ to type a variable, in other cases you don't (!?) In my case Flash automatically assigns String as the data type to 'type'. (maybe only for primitive data types?)

Finally: (just to vent my frustration, skip this is you want ;-))
Why is it that font handling in CS3 is so @[EMAIL PROTECTED] intimidating?
- There are multiple strategies to make a font available to
TextFields, but not one that seems to be better than others for
general purposes
- You need to apply mutually dependent settings in different places
to get things right
(e.g. create a font symbol *and* export it for AS (why not in the
same window like all other symbols??) *and* assign a value to the
font property of a TextFormat object *and* assign that TextFormat to
a Textfield *and* set myTfld.embedFonts (why is this not a property
of TextFormat. When I define a font there, it's obvious that I want
to embed that font in the textField the textFormat is assigned to)
When one of these settings is incorrect Flash fails silently in some
cases (just displays nothing, no placeholders for missing characters,
no error message, nothing))
- The cs3 help docs contain plain errors (I remember 'myTfld.html'
but this generates an error because the property html doesn't exist
in AS3
- Again in the help docs, in the part explaining style sheets, the
harderst part (defining the font family) is left out of the example
- syntax is inconsistent. When I want to format existing text I need
a method 'myTfld.setTextFormat(myTfmt2)' but when I want to format
text to be added afterwards I suddenly need a property
myTfld.defaultTextFormat = myTfmt2' (where did AS2's setNewTextFormat
() method go?)
- why is the way text in TextArea components is formatted so
different from formatting TextFields
(e.g. myTextArea.setStyle("embedFonts", true) versus
myTfld.embedFonts = true;

Re: [Flashcoders] SOLVED++: fonts and stylesheets in AS3
Hi,
I solved my problem (and some more, see below)
The wrong line in my code appeared to be:
heading.font = myVerdanaBold.fontName;
I changed it in:
heading.fontFamily = myVerdanaBold.fontName;
and al was well.
The the exact phrase 'fontFamily' is crucial here (but it doesn't
appear as a key word!) !!??
Also it appears that the V3 TextArea component doesn't support
stylesheets.
I found this page:
http://www.sharedknowhow.com/2008/07/fixed-flash-textarea-css-
incompatibility/
It provides a very simple (meaning: understandable, even for me)
explanation + solution.
Even I can apply a stylesheet to a V3 TextArea now. Must be peanuts
for most of you.
cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime font embedding in Flash CS3...
Hi Michael, I agree embedding fonts in Flash is a pain. I don't think you can define a range of characters in an exported font symbol in the Flash IDE. (as stated in www.betriebsraum.de). developer.yahoo.com describes the flex approach. You might try the following: Define 2 dynamic text field off stage (one for each font) and define the character range there. These characters should now be available to all text fields in the .swf *Should* work, but with Flash and font you never know :( HTH Willem Op 18-aug-2008, om 10:49 heeft Michael William Ypes het volgende geschreven: Something that should be sooo easy always seems to be a real struggle in flash. I had finally worked out how to do it in as2 and now all the parameters have changed again in as3. I have read various articles on the subject and get most of it. I have one swf with two font symbols exported in the library and used registerfonts. These are now available in my other swf that is loading them, however I want it to be multi lingual and therefore have different font libraries. The bit I am falling down on is defining the character sets. Now if I had a texfield then I would just choose the character sets but I cannot see how to do that with a font symbol. Any help, different approach, links much appreciated, I hate flash and fonts - nothing but a pain!!

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: organizing packages and classes
Hi Ian,
Thanks for your quick response.
This is AS3 actually.
Class paths point to both the folder the class file is in and the
'parentfolder' of 'nl': 'myProjects'
The package definition reads: 'package nl.geografiek.utilities {'
(I get the same error when I change this to 'package utilities {' btw)
But still no luck.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: organizing packages and classes
Thanks again Ian,
This works (but)
I removed all class paths but the path to the native flash classes
and the path to my own classes (i.e. the parent of 'nl')
This removed the 5001 error.
instead I get another error:
'1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
FormatDecimalen.'
(my fla contains
import nl.geografiek.utilities.FormatDecimalen;
var mijnFormat:FormatDecimalen = new FormatDecimalen();)
I can get rid of it only if I add the class path to the parent of
the .as file ('utilities'), but this introduces the 5001 error again.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: organizing packages and classes SOLVED
Blush,
It appeared that somewhere on the way I changed a folder name higher
up in the hierarchie without changing the class path.
This kind of thing cost half a day of anger and frustration.
Thanks for straightening things out Ian,
Willem
Op 15-aug-2007, om 16:13 heeft Ian Thomas het volgende geschreven:
Sorry, Willem - you must still have something set up incorrectly.
Without seeing your project files, I can't help further.
To recap:
- The class path should be set to the folder _above_ 'nl'
- The package definition should read 'package
nl.geografiek.utilities {'
- The class definition (inside the package definition) should read
'class
FormatDecimalen {'
- The import should be 'import
nl.geografiek.utilities.FormatDecimalen;'
If all those are correct, it should work - check for spelling and
capitalisation errors, too.
Cheers,
Ian

[Flashcoders] CS3: unexpected type
Hi list, The following puzzles me: //code in frame 1 1 var xmlData:xml; 2 trace(typeof(xmlData)); //'object' not xml?? //mijnXml.getHetXmlObject() is a method of a custom class that is supposed to return an xml-object //code that loads the xml is ommitted 3 trace(typeof(mijnXml.getHetXmlObject())); //'object' not xml?? 4 xmlData = mijnXml.getHetXmlObject(); //called from a button I have the following: 6 trace(typeof(mijnXml.getHetXmlObject())); //'xml' 7 trace(typeof(xmlData)); //'object' ??? My questions: Why does flash see 'xmlData' as an object in line 2 although I specifically type it as 'xml' in line 1? I understand that in line 3 somehow flash has not yet determined the type of the variable (not yet fully loaded?). Only after a while it 'sees' the correct type (line 6). Is that correct? From Moock's EAS3 (p30) I understand that, as the type of the original variable (returned by mijnXml.getHetXmlObject()) is an object (line 3), xmlData holds only a _reference_ to the original variable. Thus, when the original variable changed to type 'xml', xmlData should also become type 'xml'. But according to line 7 it is still an object. Why??

Hello :)
for me your notation in AS2 is false too... you can't use the 'var'
keyword
and the 'this' keyword after. The compiler throw an error.
If you want use dynamic variables ... for me the best way it's an
HashMap or
an Object :
# Use an Object :
var items = {} ;
for (var i:Number = 0 ; i<10 ; i++)
{
var item:Type = new Type() ; // you can test the type of your
object
with a local variable in your loop
items[ "my_var" + i] = item ;
}
# Use an HashMap implementation like my implementation in VEGAS :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/
Documentation : http://vegas.ekameleon.net/docs/vegas/data/map/
HashMap.html
Example :
import vegas.data.map.HashMap ;
var map:HashMap = new HashMap() ;
for (var i:Number = 0 ; i<10 ; i++)
{
var value:Type = new Type() ; // you can test the type of
your object

[Flashcoders] AS3: dynamically accessing parts of XML
Hi list,
I have an XML object (listed below)
I can access a node like, for instance:
trace(myXml.MAMMAL.*) //traces: humancowdog
Now I want to access nodes dynamically through a function like:
function traceNode (thisNode:String):void {
trace(myXml[thisNode].*;
}
traceNode(MAMMALS) works fine because it's a first generation child
of myXml
but traceNode(MAMMAL) returns empty (because MAMMAL is of a younger
generation?)
Eventually I want to be able to access even the whale dynamically by
passing it's 'path' through an argument of my function.
How would I do that?
Thanks,
Willem van den Goorbergh
xml follows:
var myXml:XML =
human
cow
dog
blackbird
dove

Re: [Flashcoders] Print Rows DataGrid
Hi Veiky, How about cloning your data grid to a seperate frame and scale it down, so that all rows fit on stage (so small they are probably unreadable on screen). You can set this frame as the target to be printed. HTH, Willem van den Goorbergh Op 6-sep-2007, om 16:43 heeft Vivek Gaikwad het volgende geschreven: Hi, I have a DataGrid on the stage having almost 70 rows. A vertical scrollbar appears since these many rows can't fit in one shot. When I print this movie, the rows which were visible from the DataGrid only get printed. What if I want to print the entire DataGrid(all 70 rows)? peace, veiky =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Geografiek is a Dutch, Utrecht-based map and chart design company.

Re: [Flashcoders] MultiLanguage
Hi Dave, I would ask the designer to put all the text in dynamic textFields (and fill them w3ith dummy text). You can than adress these TextFields and fill them with text from a database at runtime, depending on a 'language' flag. HTH, Willem van den Goorbergh Op 21-jan-2008, om 13:26 heeft Dave Mennenoh het volgende geschreven: I may be doing an app that has to be deployed in various languages, and I'm trying to find a good method of doing it. I guess my main issue is that the interface is Flash, and would be created by a designer. Content is pretty much all external, but things like button text, tool tip text, etc. are put in place by the designer. I'd thought of just making different interface 'shells' for the various languages, but that'd be more difficult to maintain. What'd be perfect is language plugins but then I'm not quite sure on how to handle sizing problems - especially with certain languages like chinese. Just looking for some guidance.
