[Flashcoders] Little Problem with AMFPHP browser

I've started playing with AMFPHP today, and it's pretty darned cool! I have a little service written, that sends back an SQL query to a datagrid - all is good. But I can't get the online service browser to work - it's a path problem I think. Within the config.inc.php file it has this: /** *

In the error message, it's got amfphp repeated in the path - maybe you need to copy the real path from here rather than using __FILE__ because that may be called from sub-directories, etc. Try this: /hsphere/local/home/blurred/blurredistinction.com/amfphp/ if that does not work, try removing

Jason - This is a valid point, but even if flash is doing it with every mouse move, it's probably not a good idea to make it do it all over again each time... But I'm not sure what's more efficient - mouseMove, enterFrame or mouseOver? -Original Message- From: Jason Boyd

[Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip

Hi I need to detect mouse events on a movieclip's non-white content rather than it's bounding rectangle even where the contents are bitmap based. I'm putting together an activity for kids where they create a piece of art by dragging and dropping visual elements onto their canvas, then

Check out the BitmapData class, specifically the static loadBitmap(id) method for creating an instance from a library symbol, and getPixel() which allows checking individual pixel values. I would think an algorithm that would work would be to iterate through the display list, do hitTest() on

Thanks for those suggestions. I didn't think about Birmapdata.hitTest(), but I had thought about using getPixel() Sure, I can use that to decide whether or not the user has clicked on a non-white area, but that doesn't resolve user confusion. It doesn't help the user to know which item

Can't you override the onMouseOver of the clips to prevent the cursor change? Or wait, why would the cursor be changing? There's no onRollover event being specifically handled, but each of the clips has onPress, onRelease and onReleaseOutside events handled. My understanding is that it's

My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it enters the clip. Oh right, sorry. So I wonder if it is possible to override this by definining an onMouseOver and changing the cursor to the default one?

My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it enters the clip. Using useHandCursor, you could turn that feature off as the default, and then back on when you test positive for your viewable clip area.
