Hello flashcoders,
How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button?
The onRollOver/onRollOut events seem not to fire when a button is
disabled. I see two solutions right now:
1. Add an onMouseMove listener (within MyButton extends Button) and
check whether _xmouse/_ymouse

I have the Tree component in my scene and this is generated by a xml. It's
working fine.
But I want to know the _x and the _y of any tree node or folder, by passing
mouse over them, with the function itemRollOver.
For example, the Tree shows that:

In AS3 you can actually put code before a super() as you can in other

as i admitted, clearly need a some refactoringright now its just a
prototype so i'm not too concerned

Hi,
i see menuTree*2*.selectedNode and menuTree.addEventListener?
Beside that, might be a scoping/reference issue, your listener doesnt have a
reference to the menuTree.

Doesn't the debug version of the Flash Player plugin have an option to

Well, i don´t know for sure, but i never, ever use window[element] to

Also, you should better not use document.write to write content on a page.

For the disabled state for our buttons we actually use a different movie clip.
Basically, each button consists of a Button object and a Movie Clip
with the image used for the disabled state. When the button is
disabled we hide the Button and show the MC, and when it's enabled we

Hi,
we use a ButtonTooltipWrapper thingy.
Basicly you do:
new Tooltip (myButton, myTooltip, [hitArea])
it creates an empty movieclip, with the button as hitArea. All events that
are not triggered on this clip are used to show/hide tooltip and then
dispatched to lower lying button. Still tweaking
Hi,
When I have the Flash Player 9 plugin, NetStream stops working, videos don't

hi, this is code:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.myLoader._x eq this.myLoader._x-1){

}
I'm trying to move this loader created by code and it looks ok, it
moves,
Hello :)
1 - eq keyword is depreciated !! don't use eq but the == operator :)
if ( x == 2)
{
// do it
}
2 - to move a movieclip, a simple example :
// the speed of the move
var speed = 10 ;
// the max x position
var xMax = 500 ;
mc.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._x += speed ;
I'm pretty sure this line:
if (this.myLoader._x eq this.myLoader._x-1){
will never resolve to true, given that no number is equal to the same
number minus one. Thus, the code in that if statement will never
trigger.
Should one of those this.myLoader values be a different variable?

It probably depends on how complicated the thing you're replacing is.
I'm doing something similar with the VEGAS library. I have a simple
logging class that I wrote as a central place to do logs, but needed
to extend it a lot. The logging framework in VEGAS is just about
exactly what I needed,

Usually ?: notation is used specifically for quickly choosing between
2 values (picking between 2 things inline). That's a case where you
really have to have an else, otherwise you wouldn't have a value to
represent the failure case of the IF part.
If you're doing logic that isn't inline in a
if ( condition){

?

hello :)
I don't understand you question ? why you don't use the if keyword ?
if ( isNaN(x) ) x = 0 ;
you can use the || operator too
function write ( txt )
{
var message = txt || empty message ;
trace(message) ;
}
write(hello) ; // output : hello
write() ; // output : empty message
For that specific example, you can usually turn lines like
return object ? true : null;
into
return Boolean( object );
as long as object != 0 and your code doesn't mind getting a false instead of a
null. Most objects, as long as they exist, evaluate to Boolean true.
Really, though, the

I dont
Hello :)
warning with the Boolean( o ) if your object is a number... the Boolean(0)
is false but :
var n = 0 ;

When you test a number the isNaN(n) is better i think :)

thanks everyone for your comments, yes
You can also set up your code along these lines:
var inTestMovie:Boolean = false;
trace( inTestMovie = true );
if (inTestMovie)
{
// do wacky test movie stuff
}
else
{
// do normal stuff
}
Then you can just turn off trace statements when you want to see the 'normal'
behavior, and leave

1. You can remove the braces.
I always use:

But rarely use:

else somethingElse();
because it can get lost visually in code.
2. Inline conditional

Works fine for me. Not the best practice (I would never use it), but
just showing what's possible with inline conditionals.

sin(a1) = l1/h

assuming you know l1, then h=l1/sin(a1)
and then l2 = h* cos(a1)
