How do I use the InteractiveObject.focusRect property?
The documentation is sketchy. I can see that I
assign (or get) an Object from it. Setting it to null
defaults to the Stage.stageFocusRect setting.
But how else can I use focusRect?

I understand that when instantiating a class you can set the scope where
the instance is going to run, but how about when we dont actually
instantiate the class on the timeline but we just link the class directly to
the items on the stage, how is the scope treated in this case? I assume the
class
Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything
outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then
they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope
reference). What are you trying to do?

Hey Jason,
All Im trying to do is run some animation inside a movieclip but without
instantiating the class. So what I do instead is just add a MovieClip on
stage that has a link to a class and it knows exactly what to do rather than
having to instantiate it manually.
BTW, I read your previous
Oh, and I forgot an important point, the reson why I want to find the scope
of the class is because inside the class there are variables that talk to
each other and I can have them talk back and forth like this
_level0.instance1.myVariable = blah;
but this of course wont work when the movie is
So I figured it out or at least I think I did,
private var target: myClass;
function myClass(){
target = this;
}
now I can reference to properties within a class without breaking the app.
So in the same lines, is there anyway to code the classe so that we don't
have to reference to the
If class has it's own variables, just use them inside the class- but if
you want to Extend movieClip and expect it to know about variables
outside it's scope, well, that's breaking OOP AFAIK, classes only know
about themselves. Instead, you will want to use a central composition
class and refer
You are correct, and it all seems clear now and working as expected, the
only guy that I cant understand is the Tween class and the way i can pass a
refrence of the main class inside it.
I have learend that this works
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, myNextFunction);
but I am
Correction in my sample code
//code sample
var playOnce:Boolean = true;
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
//correction
Delegate.create(this, nextFunction);
playOnce = false;
}
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
Because that's not how delegate works exactly :) - there is no scope
address to resetWin3 inside of the tween.onMotionChanged event.
This looks like a lot of very strange stuff is going on in the design of this
code. I think you should explain what you want to do at a very high level so we
can see if there is a better and simpler way to accomplish it. (I can't figure
out where the Delegate mentioned in the subject line is

has different security restrictions for local files vs. internet

Even if there is a tool, I don't think it would make a difference. My guess
is that FLV video is handled like any other video with regards to keyframes.
That is, the tween frames only contain content that has changed,
everything else is transparent. A keyframe, contains all of the information.
