RE: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
That was it, it works now, thanks. Funny, I didn't notice that, I had it in my code before, but somewhere along the line of messing with things, it just switched back over to .toString() and I hadn't noticed. Thanks everyone! One more question if I may - how can I exclude certain things like blank spaces? I mean, I could check the textfield, but it would seem there is an easier way. If I put a blank space (or nothing for that matter) in the input text field and search for that, it returns all nodes. I could check the input text field, but I'd rather do it with a regular expression (both for elegance and to learn). The help docs are skimpy, so excuse so many questions here. It's also such a huge subject, it's very hard to Google exactly what you need.

[Flashcoders] DART external SWFs/.as?
Hi guys, Has anyone created Flash banners using Double Click's DART where the SWF uses code from external .as class files? A vendor is telling me this: DART can't accommodate files being uploaded to the same directory or folder and communication amongst them. Can you upload those additional files somewhere on your end and have the parent flash file reference the child flash files accordingly, externally. And yet, I've done Motif banners that use external SWFs, external XML files, external JPEGs, etc. Is he making this up? Have you heard anything similar?

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing Images
Hi Theodore, (I'm assuming this is AS2...) Are these images in the library? If so, go to Properties and make sure Smoothing is ticked. If you're loading external images, there is a bug in AS2 which stops smoothing from working properly. There's a workaround for it detailed here: http://code.awenmedia.com/node/27 That should get rid of the pixellation.

Re: [Flashcoders] DART external SWFs/.as?
Hi Tim, I just happen to work for DoubleClick/Google :) That is totally inaccurate, if you are using the Motif AdKit, you can add any external file as a child asset as you've done before. goes without saying, as long as that file type is supported by Flash (SWF, XML, JPG, MP3, text). If the SWF files need to be hosted in an external server, these can be loaded into the main asset just as well, regular Flash Player cross-domain policies applying, for those cases the child files are calling methods on the parent file or vice-versa. These are Flash Player policies and as such they apply to any Flash content on the web, no matter the vendor (this is, it's not a constraint one vendor will have while other don't - Flash is the same for everyone, which is part of its beauty) Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions. .:Manuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys, Has anyone created Flash banners using Double Click's DART where the SWF uses code from external .as class files?

Re: [Flashcoders] removing all listeners from a dpo
No worries.
Personally, I think in most cases using this approach would not save you
much work (in case it works in the first place).
But I agree that it would be useful that the EventDispatcher class exposed a
method to remove all listeners and probably a method to query any
EventDispatcher object about all its registered listeners (maybe returning
an array of some read only value objects / data structures, to prevent
accidental inconsistencies). You have the hasEventListener method, but you
have to know what events to look for before hand, so in this scenario it's
not of much help, I guess.

Hi,
You could try to do your own bookkeeping, so you know what listeners
are
registered to an EventDispatcher object. You can have one class to
hold
that
info in a list and write a method that loops through that list and
remove
all registered listeners. You'd still have to override the
addEventListener
and removeEventListener methods in the dispatcher object, to intercept
those
calls from external code and keep your bookkeeper in sync.

this
is untested and may be not the best idea).

Hi berry.. do you also need help into attaching the elements to the empty movieclip? If you have already attached all the necessary elements to the movieclip on the stage then it is just a matter of moving the movieclip where you loaded all the data into. Say you named that movieclip container all you have to do is the following: conatiner._x = 200; container._y = 300' and all the elements that have been included into the container MC will move with it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
Thanks Gabino for the quick answer. However, I do not know what I have done incorrectly. As per my second email, I have an empty mc on the root and I have created a text field in there, also load in mcs in there, and attachMovie some buttons. But when I move the mc in root only the images which are loaded in move when I move it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
I think you'll have to provide some code. It's hard to tell why you've orphaned your text. Maybe your targeting the wrong clip. It can be pretty convoluted. Luck - Original Message - From: J.C.
