[Flashcoders] AS3 fl.controls.List instance change events not bubbling

2009-10-01 Thread Stephen Downs
Change events sent by instances of fl.controls.List in my Flash AS3 project have lost their effervescence. The AS3 Language and Components Reference states that change events sent by List bubble by default, but when I check the event being sent it has the bubbles property set to false.

You're probably running into this because you're attempting to use instance variables like static variables. If you're just storing one variable, you can use a single static variable in your ancestor class. If you wanted to access this variable akin to a local property of specific

Jeff's approach sounds proper. You should also check this issue on the latest Safari, version 3.0.2 (522.12) as of this message, which has addressed many issues with DHTML layers. Steve On 2007-06-28, at 1:39 PM, Phil Chung wrote: If you're completely hiding the Flash layer, then i'd

I am looking for a means to detect user input idle on a system level in ActionScript 2 (I suppose I could accept an AS3 solution if it truly works). This needs to work in Mac OS X too. Can Flash or any other third party application wrapper or daemon process do this? I am developing a Flash

It's unclear what is different between execute the exe and just click twice in the swf form versus execute the exe and access the online swf form. Perhaps if you break down precisely what files are involved, including html wrappers and locations, and precise execution order, it would help.

It is very possible, but the methods are myriad. It depends upon what kind of server or webservice you need to connect to, and the version of Flash you are using. If your needs are simple and you're using Flash v6 - 8, you can use the LoadVars class to get and send string data. If your

still have to, investigate using PopUpManager instead and using some of DepthManager's constants. Alert.show does return an instance, so if you're brave, you can force it up. - Original Message - From: Stephen Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday
