Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Web Browser Component
get real, Flash HTML tag support is way too weak to display any even most simple one web page 2006/3/8, Johannes Boyne [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But do you really want ActiveX in your Flash?!

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: getDepth: highest depth, middle depth, lowest depth
Thanks guys! I was reading the archives about the DepthManager class
and peeked into the recent z ordering thread for some useful info.
My one problem that I am running in to is that for whatever reason, my
boss is telling me I am not allowed to use Flash 8 for this project.
They want it published in Flash 6. From what I was reading the new
DepthManager class only works with Flash 8.
I'll post more code snippets when I get in to work. Thanks again for
the responses!

I've found very little info on the DepthManager class. afaik, you need
to increment the kTop property when you use it:
var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc,
DepthManager.kTop++, {owner:this, styleName:this});
At the same time I find it useful to get the next highest depth of the
movieclip I want to be over. This next statement adds the movieclip to
myMovie at myMovies's next highest depth. So if myMovie has one other
object on it at depth 1 then myMovie.getNextHighestDepth() returns 2.
var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc,
myMovie.getNextHighestDepth(), {owner:this, styleName:this});
I've had problems using _root.getNextHighestDepth() in a class. It stops
at a certain number and any new movieclips replace the movie that is at
the same depth.
if createObject is not available (for use mostly with components) use
attachMovie in it's place...

Hey Mel,
Take a look at the DepthManager. You can use it for exactly what you
are trying to do. The catch is that you have to instantiate the
MovieClips you want to use via actionscript with the DepthManager
functions. Remember to do this because the DepthManager needs to
keep track of all elements you want to sort. Then all you have to do
is use the constants DepthManage.kTop, DepthManage.kBottom, etc. The
manager sorts its children instances using these constants by putting
each call to kTop in depth 201 and then moving the rest down
sequentially (actually vice versa).
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I have another question for the group:
I was using this...
for (var i in this) {
if (typeof (this[i]) == movieclip) {
trace(movie clip '+this[i]._name+' is at depth
+this[i].getDepth()*-1);
}
}
...to discover the depth of the movieclips I have on the stage.
Then I wrote this...
postcard_amt = [1, 2, 3];
for (i=0; ipostcard_amt.length; i++) {
postcard_itm = postcard+i+_mc;
_root[postcard_itm].onPress = function(){
trace(this.getDepth());
}
}
...to specifially single out the _mc's I wanted.
Not sure if that is the best way to write it, but that's not my
question
(althought I am open to more efficient ways).
/*
My question:
What is the best approach to finding the highest depth, the middle
depth and
the lowest depth?
*/
Backstory:
Ideally, what I will be doing is swapDepths() with these _mc's and
reshuffling them accordingly.
if original state is...
1
2
3
...onEvent...
2
3
1
...then another Event...
3
1
2
...and so on.
Thanks for the advice,

A.Cicak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are going to work with strings as you mentioned thats actualy much slower than simply loop through array and multiply by 3 each element (of course store extra number which is carried over in the same loop). In your case it would require at least two passes and in this case only one. (I'm not doing this, by the way, it's just theoretical, although now I kind of want to...) I wouldn't work with strings, I'd do it with an array of integers as I said - the binary integers in the example were just to show what I meant. Multiplying each element by 3 is fine, but it was just an example: the point of the method is to be able to deal with arbitrarily large numbers, even those larger than 32 bits in size. In any case, the key point is that 'long multiplication' is a much cleaner operation in binary than it is in decimal.

I've uploaded an example online if it helps: http://www.kurst.co.uk/transfer/copyPixels.fla Here is the code: AS _root.createEmptyMovieClip( container2, 2 ); container2._x = 170; bitmapData1 = new flash.display.BitmapData( 160, 120, true, 0x00 ); bitmapData2 = new flash.display.BitmapData( 160, 120, true, 0x33 ); container2.attachBitmap( bitmapData2, 2 ); bitmapData1.draw( container1 ); // container 1 is on stage var rect1 = new flash.geom.Rectangle( 0, 0, 160, 120 ); var rect2 = new flash.geom.Rectangle( 0, 0, 160, 120 ); bitmapData2.copyPixels( bitmapData1, rect1, rect2 ); toMask_mc.setMask( container2 );// this does not work... /AS Cheers Karim ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] dynamically naming sound objects?
I am trying to create a reusable function to load sound objects, dynamically
naming them in sequence, and dynamically placing them into an array to hold
a pointer to them. however, they do not seem to be being created. any ideas?
// begin code
var mySounds:Array = new Array();
var sPath:String = sound/loops/;
mySounds[0] = sPath + Accident-Broadkas-8819.mp3;
mySounds[1] = sPath + 5-jakkob-2501.mp3;
mySounds[2] = sPath + albert-Mikkel_M-204.mp3;
mySounds[3] = sPath + delerium-queali-1634.mp3;
var sounds_array:Array = new Array();
var sBaseName:String = sound;
function loadSounds() {
for (var i:Number = 0; i mySounds.length; i++) {
sRef = _root[sound+i]
sounds_array.push(sRef = new Sound());
sRef.loadSound(mySounds[i], False);
}
}
// end code
i have no problems dynamically creating mcs and naming them dynamically, but
this method does not seem to be appliying to this scenario. just a direction
would be helpful..

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically naming sound objects?
What makes you think they're not being created? Have you traced the
array? More likely, the paths to the mp3's are wrong, in which case
testing from the Flash API you'd get output errors indicating the
file could not be found/loaded.
FYI, sound objects are just code objects created in ActionScript,
not external assets. To be clearer, your post should be referring to
sound files or mp3 files.

[Flashcoders] Can't reference a library font from inside a static class (?)
OK - been stuck on this for too long now, need some help. There is
something I am not understanding about Classes, embedding fonts and
TextFormat(). The basic problem is embedding font in a class definition
is not working like it does with a timeline frame script. Is this a bug
or feature of Flash?
If I do the following directly on _level0, it works fine:
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = Swis;
my_fmt.color = 0x00;
my_fmt.size = 16;
this.createTextField(tf_txt,0,20,20,200,20);
tf_txt.embedFonts = true; //works great as expected
tf_txt.text=Hello world;
tf_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
It works fine as a frame script, the font gets embedded perfectly (the
font is a library font with the exported linked name being Swis).
However, this does not work in a static class UNLESS I take out the line
to embed the font:
(Note: this is purposefully not pretty and dynamic - I just want a
simple text field, so values are hard coded for now)
class com.icfconsulting.objects.SimpleTextField{
public static function create(target_mc:MovieClip):TextField{
//(Note:I just want a simple text field, so values are hard coded for
now)
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = Swis;
my_fmt.color = 0x00;
my_fmt.size = 16;
target_mc.createTextField(tf_txt,0,20,20,200,20);
target_mc.tf_txt.embedFonts = true;
//the above line breaks it ONLY when inside this class - if I remove,
works fine
//but no embedding and of course the default font appears instead.
target_mc.tf_txt.text=Hello world;
target_mc.tf_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
return target_mc.tf_txt;
}
}
And then call it:
import com.icfconsulting.objects.SimpleTextField;
tf=SimpleTextField.create(this)
It ONLY works in the class if I don't embed the font (if I comment out
the line: my_fmt.font = Swis') but of course I want to embed the font.
If I put the same script on the main timeline and substitute the class
constructor argument target_mc for this meaning _level0, then it
works fine and the font get embedded.
Any clues on what's going on? Can you not reference a font in the
library from inside a static class?

I did one, but I think the most interesting development podcasts involve more than one person.

//Embed fonts
fl.getDocumentDOM().setElementProperty('embedRanges', '1|2|3|4');
Thanks for you help.

You do it like this in case anyone was wondering:
fl.getDocumentDOM().setElementProperty('name','default_txt');
easy enough.

RE: [Flashcoders] Assign instance names with JSFL
From the docs:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0].name =
clip_mc;
First you have to add the item to the stage. Then, grab a reference to the
timeline object and select the MovieClip by walking the layers / frames /
elements array.
In the past I've locked all layers, created a new layer, added the item from
the library and then done a selectAll.
I can't remember if the item is actually selected automatically when you add
it to the stage from the library. If it is then just use the reference you
already have.
Hope this helps,
Brooks

[Flashcoders] Help with BitmapData - BitmapDataManager
Hey guys, I quickly whipped something up before. It's called the BitmapDataManager. It's a class that allows a movieclip to stay as a bitmap so that it's easier to animate complex vector data. For more info read http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163 This is where I need help: right now, scaling the movieclip that will be rasterized and then rasterizing it doesn't work. It still takes a snapshot, but it does like as if it were still its orig size. It's hard to explain. Look at the fla. :) Here's the source: http://share.quirkworks.net/net-BitmapDataManager.rar Here's the class implemented with the examples I'm talking about: http://share.quirkworks.net/bdm_test.fla Yup, you need Flash 8. I'm sure I could just edit the Matrix or something like that and input the scaled size so that it takes the correct snapshot, but I can't seem to figure it out. -- Ramon Miguel M.
