[Flashcoders] Dragging a window component object drags movieclips under it

How can I avoid it? I notice that having the title bars of two Window class objects overlapping does not produce this problem. I drag the topmost window without dragging the one immediately below it. However a movieclip with the usual drag code (onMouseDown, onMouseMove if hitTest startDrag etc)

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm

Hi, great nice to hear, it's all starting to work now. With respect to the moving, are you moving the pieces to round _x, _y values, not sure, but this might have something to do with it. I remember building a panorama with hotspots area's that had to move along with the panorama, and I had the

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SQL

Well you can change it right there in the browser by calling methods on the movie object and setting variables. It is important to keep anything like that on the server side, as you can see with a lot of online flash games with high incredible hiscores, etc. I did this a couple of times to test

[Flashcoders] Netstream strangeness on stream failure

Re: [Flashcoders] as3: weird package problem

Thanks for your reply, I just tried out what you suggested, but didn't make any difference :( It works when I leave the package name empty (this seems obvious). But that wouldnt be a solution, because a class sitting somewhere else wouldn't be able to access it. On 7/15/06, John Grden [EMAIL

Re: [Flashcoders] Book recommendations for AS2 and game development

Sounds like you need books on OOP rather than ActipnScript. You are not going to find a book on OOP with ActionScript at the moment. Rather you are going to have to branch out a bit. Here are some books that I would suggest. At the least they will get you looking in the right direction. Object

[Flashcoders] Sending variables

Hi there I am trying to send variables from a flash form. No trouble for the normal form variables that sit at the root level, I press my submit button (which is also on the root level), and they all get sent fine. However, the variables that are inside a movie clip, are not sent. This

Re: [Flashcoders] First attempts at wirting code in AS2

Classes don't share scope with the main timeline. You should pass in little_stars_mc as an argument to the Constructor when you create your Class, then store it as a member variable so all your methods have access to it. The fact that it worked before with AS 1.0 was merely a side-effect of the
