[Flashcoders] Job offer in Berlin (ActionScript)
The company where I work is growing and needs more AS3 developers. The project is called Panfu, one of the biggest virtual worlds for children, developed in AS3 and PureMVC. It's a large and young international team with programmers, designers, illustrators, translators, moderators and many others. Work conditions are quite good I think. Berlin is a great city to live in, specially in summer. It's full of cultural events, parks where you can relax, lakes, and people coming from all countries. You can go around with bicycle or using a very efficient public transportation. Flats and food are quite inexpensive compared to other large cities. For more details or for sending a CV please use my e-mail address. Hopefully one of you is working here with us soon! :) Abe ps. I'm sending this job offer to the list as it was said a couple of weeks ago it is ok to do so. Hopefully it does not upset anyone. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Close current browser from flash without alert message.
Let me make sure I understand: Your user navigates to your page and see a language selection screen. When they choose a language, you open a new fullscreen window and close the original browser window (the one with a back/forward, address bar etc). If that's what you're needing: There's not a way. Simply put, it's bad form under most circumstances. If you were to do this, you would erase that user's history, as well as making it impossible for that user to navigate away from your site. Another thing to think of: My browser settings force all popup windows to appear as tabs. So closing the previous window would also close out your site (I think I've tried this on accident and it crashed Firefox, but that may be because of IE view add-on). ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Input textfields - is it possible, when filled up, to behave like a browser input textfield?
Hello List, Not only can I not work out how to fix this problem, but I'm also having problems describing it pithily. Please bear with me and I hope someone has pointers, even if just to say Nup, can't be done. With input textfields in a browser (that is, the ones I've checked, FF2 and IE7), when you type enough to fill up the textfield, the cursor stays at the very right of the textfield, and the overflow text (the text you are still typing) comes up character by character, each character shifting the existing text to the left by one character-width. With input textfields in Flash (MX2004 and 8), when you type enough to fill up the textfield - or rather, when you get within about 5px of the right side of the textfield - the existing text jumps a good distance (about 20px) to the left, thus opening up more space for you to type into. 1) I need the input textfields in Flash to behave like the browser input textfield behaviour described - essentially, I need to prevent the text jump left behaviour. Is it possible, and if not, how can it be faked? 2) Leading on from how can it be faked, what is the actual condition required to cause the text jumps to the left behaviour in Flash? I've been trying to get around it by making the textfield 1 space wider than its contents, but the number of spaces required seems to vary with the font size - smaller font size seems to require more extra spaces to prevent text jump - so I'm guessing it's something else. Any suggestions and pointers very much appreciated. Even an iota of clue clueless, which is my current situation. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Best way to architect a kind of keyCode rotation
I am going to be getting key events that sum up a degree of rotation. ie. 3, 0, 1, ^ = 301 degrees (well, I get keCodes that I need to translate back into their corresponding numbers) So I was thinking I have an array that I push the values (keyCode) into... when I get a delimiter, I then combine the digits before the delimiter numbOne *= 100; numbTwo *= 10; numbThree = thirdDigitIfExists; totalNumber = numbOne + numbTwo + numbThree; And then set the rotation, clear the array out, and then wait for more keyCodes to pour in. I'm a little worried about the speed of execution, as I could get tons of sets of keyCodes and this needs to be as accurate as possible. I could use a wrapper and use serial data sent in, but i want to avoid a 3rd party wrapper. I imagine that the approach I've outlined above shouldn't be too terribly slow, but wondering if there might be a way that would be quicker execution-wise knowing I'll be getting sets of keyCodes to implement into a rotational number (0-359).

Re: [Flashcoders] 3 level drop down menu - AS3
Yes, but you'll undoubtedly use a server side script to access that information form the database. Formatting that into XML and feeding it to Flash means you get an XML object, which is simply a set of arrays to run through.I just re-read your problem. And maybe I approached it wrong. If you've already build your setup then every object has an id and all its children should know what that id is (parent_id). But each object that has a parent has a .parent paramenter, if its in its display list. and if your not structuring it that way, you should add a parent parameter to your class so that all objects know who their parents are. Then you simply call its id. Hope that made sense. 2008/6/9 Vayu Robins [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hmmm, thanks Ashim, but the site is managed by a cms that runs on a database.

[Flashcoders] Changing the cursor effectively.
I'm curious because its becoming a large requirement for usability and I shy away from it but changing the mouse cursor can be highly beneficial. I'd like to know however, it there's a way to tap into the OS's cursors, instead of changing the cursor position on mouse move. For instance when you have a selectable text field, flash changes your cursor, as when you roll over a buttonMode enabled object. So is there a way to tell it to fall into that state?

Hello, I'm being passed a string that has a reference to an object in

then creating the object but I'm not sure how:
public static function arToObj(a:Array):Object
{
var retObj:Object;
for ( var i:Number=0; ia.length; i++ ) {
if (i==a.length-1){
//dont know what to do here !!
}
};
return retObj;
}
This is untested e-mail ActionScript, but you could do something like this:
public static function arToObj(a:String):Object
{
var strArray:Array;
var clsRef:Class;
strArray = a.split(.);
clsRef = getDefinitionByName(strArray[0]) as Class;
return new clsRef();
}
I'm sure there are bugs in there, but that's the basic approach I'd take.
