Re: [Flashcoders] New way to resize TextField in IDE ?
You have never been able to numerically resize text in Flash. Flash 7 had the same behaviour. Many had hoped Flash 8 would *resolve* this issue, but it didn't happen. It certainly isn't a new issue.

With Flash 2004 and before, one just have to put a textfield on the stage and give it values with the property inspector. It was fast and easy. With Flash 8 IDE, if I do the same, the font inside are resized ? Whatever tool I use : Arrow, Free transform or Text, the behavior is the same. Should I say that on a mac ? Is it an osx only (how could I say) **new** feature ? Is there any way to give values to a textfield on stage.

Firstly, you need a movieclip whose class has EventDispatcher tied into it

function click() {

The problem resides in how the Flash Player is initiatated on first
render. Basically the ActionScript is being interpreted faster than
the visuals are rendered (which includes the scene).
I've gotten to understand this and I have adopted a way of
initializing all the Stage parameters first then initializing the
elements. And lastly, I actually call the onResize method for good
measure because in some instances first render does not trigger a
resize event.

immediately.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can You Extend a Swc Component?
A SWC is only a zipped up component. Once you put it in your movie, it becomes a compiled clip, or component. From my tests, you CAN extend a component, as long as the component you are extending is in your library. Additionally, it looks like any assets inside the component can also be used. I didn't try extending a class that the component itself extended (for example extending UIComponent, instead of Button) The example I used was a simple component I created a while ago which I knew the classes would not be available for (eg: not the V2 components, which has class files in the classes folder) -- I created an empty movieclip, and attached a class which extended the component's class. I added a trace in the constructor (and called super()), and added some timeline code calling methods in the super class. It worked fine. If you would like an example I can send it to you.

Re: [Flashcoders] changing the width of a dynamic text field
You don't necessarily need to create it with Actionscript, just remove the transform on it in the IDE. Text fields that are scaled in the IDE (stretched) will measure their width adjusted with their scale. So if you have a 100px wide text field (not stretched), and stretch it to 200px in the IDE (with the transform tool or numerically), the _width of the field is 100px*2. If you then set the _width with AS to 200px, the result will be 400px (200px*2). It seems to me that this is an odd way for flash to handle text field scaling, but if you understand whats happening, its easy to circumvent. As a developer who frequently receives scaled assets from designers, CTRL-SHIFT-Z (remove transform) is my best friend :) On 6/8/06, Phil Glatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 04:14 AM 6/8/2006, João wrote: I think is something related to the name of your textField, if it was created in the designing or programming mode I got this sample from the ActionScript manual, tested it and it works fine this.createTextField (my_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 40, 160, 120); ...

Re: [Flashcoders] changing the width of a dynamic text field

If you then set the _width with AS to 200px, the result will be 400px (200px*2). It seems to me that this is an odd way for flash to handle text field scaling, but if you understand whats happening, its easy to circumvent. As a developer who frequently receives scaled assets from designers, CTRL-SHIFT-Z (remove transform) is my best friend :) On 6/8/06, Phil Glatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 04:14 AM 6/8/2006, João wrote: I think is something related to the name of your textField, if it was created in the designing or programming mode I got this sample from the ActionScript manual, tested it and it works fine this.createTextField (my_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 40, 160, 120); ... Yes; I created it in design mode, rather than from actionscript. Your suggestion works perfectly, so I will use actionscript to create the field. Why wouldn't it work either way? I have a feeling these is something I must do in actionscript before changing the width. thanks for your suggetsion, Phil ___ 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 -- - Lanny McNie -- - Lanny McNie ___ 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] replacing the Library palette?
The library panel is not written in JSFL. JSFL has access to most of the properties of the library and its symbols, but not the symbol preview. There are some helper tools, such as ALF which can make your life easier.

Re: [Flashcoders] gProject
All of the class templates are stored in the flash configuration folder for each version of flash. In windows, the config folder is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\flash version\en\Configuration\ The class files are located in the gskinner\templates\classes\ directory You can also specify a template file to use in the panel preferences. There are details in the bundled documentation on setting up custom templates.

On 11/27/06, Derek Vadneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Buy it. I don't have a lot of large projects, but I do have a lot of them and gProject has been a huge time saver. It helps organize your projects. I think some of the (seemingly) simple pieces are worth the dough. Things like exploring the directory where your project is when you need to move and manage file assets. The folder locations feature is also a time saver. I use it to include common directories for all projects so you can quickly get to frequently-used files. For OOP projects, they say it should have been part of flash. Forget OOP, just about any project can use it.
