Re: [Flashcoders] papervision as2 mouse projection

2009-07-28 Thread Hans Wichman
Ok, it seems the as2 papervision horribly distorts the perspective, and each addded hotspot makes the panorama slower. So back at square one. Essentially what I'm looking for is a panorama that takes 6 cube faces and a hotspot definition and generates a cool panorama with hotspots that light up

[Flashcoders] Resizing the drop down list of ComboBox when removeItem() is called

2009-07-28 Thread Fumio Nonaka
When items in a CombBox compnent instance are removed with ComboBox.removeItem() method, its size of drop down list will not be adjusted. I suspect that this behavior might be a bug because ComboBox.removeItemAt() method properly reset its size.

[Flashcoders] a real custom cursor

2009-07-28 Thread Andrew Sinning
Does AS3 support real custom cursors? The only solution that I've found is to hide the cursor and to have a sprite follow the mousex/y around, but it feels like the mouse is sticking when it doesn't refresh a quickly as one would like. ___

Nope - not that I am aware of. The technique you described is the one I have used and haven't heard of any other options. Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Learning Shared Services Solutions Development Monthly meetings on the Adobe Flash platform for rich media experiences - join

You'll need to use a Sprite. Make sure to use event.updateAfterEvent() on your mouseMove event handler. Should work fine. I've swapped cursors using java and Flash talking to it (and controlled the cursor position that way as well)... but that was for a standalone special-case use. I am sure

Does your sprite image have to be converted into an icon to do this? Or what is the max size that image can be? I have had to abandon my custom cursor because it laggs when switching with the mouse. Karl Sent from losPhone On Jul 28, 2009, at 2:35 PM, Eric E. Dolecki edole...@gmail.com

If you are replying to me for the cursor thing and Java, I was controlling the position and I believe I changed the cursor to another type that was already available in the OS. It was so long ago, but I don't think I was able to change the OS cursor to something not already available to it. On

what kind of update method are you using. If the mouse is lagging, perhaps set up a hyper update function. (hyper in the sense that it updates like twice a frame?) other than that, not sure. This is the only method I've used/found as well. On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 12:09 PM, Andrew Sinning

There is a way to this as a hack. No good way though. The hack way is to do a try catch, throw an error in the try and parse the error message in the catch. Only works with the debug player I believe. On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 11:51 AM, Cor c...@chello.nl wrote: Question: Is there a simple way
