Re: [Flashcoders] Undefined property in one fla, but not in the other.
Here's my guess: The classpath in your work fla is incorrect or the linkage is not actually pointing to the original PilotBase. Sounds like you copied the symbol, instantiated it, but Flash is using it's self-created constructor for a symbol in the library. I would go into the linkage properties for the symbol and verify that the path to the class is correct (with the little green check). Otherwise, you're just getting the automatically generated in the SWF upon file export version, which still extends movie clip (thus otherwise behaves normally), but lacks your new properties. -jonathan On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 11:43 PM, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a movie clip symbol 'Pilot', extending a class 'PilotBase'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loosing full-screen when loosing focus
Thanks Rich, I had a chat last week with a sales representative from ScreenTime Media's mProjector. He told me it would be at least two months for the Windows AS3 Update of mProjector. Could even be some considerable more time. The mac AS3 version is out in beta as you said. The official release would be sooner than the Windows version but ScreenTime couldn't give an exact date for neiher. We will be dealing with the OS, reading and writing and most propably some networking too. I checked out Zinc. My first thoughts were that it ran rather slow. Seems to me mProjector is more integrated into the production process. It will be a long term project. Maybe we'll get back on this. As for now, if I would have to select an option, I'd choose to sit and wait for the AS3 mProjector. Although sitting and waiting will be something we won't be doing here, that's for sure. Cheers, Bart Rich Shupe schreef: If you are only READING files, you have a bit more options. If you are writing files, or dealing with the OS extensively in traditional application ways, you pretty much have to go with a projector enhancer. You can't really use the browser, and you can't use AIR. Some may say that their are other options by extending those environments (server-based saving--to server or locally, Java applets that add functionality to the browser, etc., but I don't consider them realities for the average user. mProjector is AS3-stable on the Mac, but not yet released on Windows, so that probably isn't a reality for an AS3 project. I've heard good and terrible things about Zinc, so I can't offer any opinions there. I'm sure others have used it and may be able to help. Finally, I've never had the slightest interest in any product that isn't cross-platform, so I can't speak to any of the Windows-only, or Mac-only (if there are any) options. Anyone else have any opinions on proj-enhancers? On 4/29/08 2:31 PM, Bart Goormans wrote: Our app will be a sort of backoffice in which we will be dealing with the filesystem extensively.

Re: [Flashcoders] Undefined property in one fla, but not in the other.
Hi Jon, Appreciate the response, but I have figured it out. The flas I was using had 'Automatically declare stage instances' checked, while the fla I was needing to work in did not have it checked. This was a real stumper, and it didn't help that the checkbox was hidden under Publish Settings -Flash-Actionscript 3.0 Settings.

[Flashcoders] Automatically Declare Stage Instances and inheritance.
Ok, so I've done a bit of googling and found nothing. And the mailing lists search features are less than ideal (sorry). Apologies if this has been gone over before: I have created an example problem here: http://ubergeek.tv/inheritance_declare_problem.zip The inheritanceDemo.fla shows that classes linked to symbols that extend class with items on the timeline causes a compiler error: 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition AlertBase.okButton in namespace public.� While if I uncheck the 'Automatically Declare Stage Instances' checkbox and declare my okButton manually everything works. This seems like a big deal to me. Since we re-use code as much as possible, it seems like we either need to assume this box is checked or not and base our code on this. Additionally we can assume incompatibilities with 3rd party code based upon whether they checked this box. It would seem that this checkbox shouldn't exist and that all stage vars should be declared manually. I must be doing something wrong. What are the best practices here? Besides unchecking that box, is there any way to get around these errors?

Re: [Flashcoders] Automatically Declare Stage Instances and inheritance.
Disable it. It's one of the most annoying features added to Flash CS3. AFAIK, it only needs to be enabled when using the Flex Kit (when creating swc's to be used in Flex). regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2008 12:42 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Automatically Declare Stage Instances and inheritance.

[Flashcoders] Re: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 8, Issue 11
Thanks Jason and Juan,
I tested it out and the splicing works really well. One thing I'm noticing
is when I uncomment and add another index, I get a compile error. I messed
with the splice index number, but received unsuccessful results. Any
thoughts on this?
var workData:Array = new Array();
//workData.push({pm:Bob, resource:Anthony, client:Microsoft,
role:Developer, job:XXX-, totalHours:40});
workData.push({pm:Dan, resource:Anthony, client:Microsoft,
role:Developer, job:XXX-, totalHours:50});
workData.push({pm:Bob, resource:Anthony, client:Microsoft,
role:Developer, job:XXX-, totalHours:30});
workData.push({pm:Dan, resource:Anthony, client:Microsoft,
role:Developer, job:XXX-, totalHours:50});
trace(workData);
// for each item in the array
for ( var i = workData.length - 1; i = 0; i-- ){
// compare to all other array elements
for ( var j = workData.length - 1; j = 0; j-- )
{
if ( workData[i].pm == workData[j].pm i != j)
{
for ( var props in workData[i] )
{
workData[i][props] = workData[j][props];
}
trace(index: + j
);
workData.splice(j, 1);
}
}
}
trace(workData);

If you're going to remove elements with a splice, you should loop backwards
(for var i:Number = array.length - 1;i = 0; i++), because when you loop
forward and take out one element, the relative position of the next items
will change.
Cheers

2008/5/9, Jason Van Pelt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
This is untested so it may need a bit of tweaking, but you could do
something like this:
// for each item in the array
for(var i = 0; i workData.length; i++){
// compare to all other array elements
for(var j = 0; j workData.length; j++){
// do your comparison(s), making sure not to compare to itself
if(workData[i].pm == workData[j].pm i != j){
// overwrite the propeties of the first element with the
properties of the second
for(var props in workData[i]){
workData[i][props] = workData[j][props];
}
workData.splice(1,j);
}
}
}
Things to consider--
Will all elements in your array have the same properties?
Do you need more logic involved in figuring out which properties should
be
the ones to keep?

I posted about this before and didn't receive and answer but it is still
causing me issues so I am trying again. I need to load an swf from one
server that is a member of some class. For example:
http://server1.mydomain.com/load_me.swf that uses the Document class
com.mydomain.componet.LoadMe.as.
I want to be able to load this swf from a different server, say
http://server2.mydomain.com/load_stuff.swf, and cast it to a LoadMe when
it is done loading. Should this work? I keep getting errors when trying to
cast in the init handler.
import com.mydomain.componet.LoadMe;
var _req:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(http://server1.mydomain.com/load_me.swf;);
var _ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var _context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
_context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
_context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
_ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler, false, 0,
true);
_ldr.load(_req, _context);
private function initHandler($event:Event) () {
var _lm:LoadMe = LoadMe(_ldr.content);
}

I have not tryed this, but check this:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html
Because the instance of the main class of the SWF file has no Loader
