[Flashcoders] Arabic Text Problem
Hi list, We are having trouble to create XML files containing Arabic text. When we copy and paste the text from Word or Excel (Arabic is displayed correctly in theses software), the text appears reversed in the XML editor. Is there a way to write XML file with Arabic language on a European OS. Thanks ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] strange as2 combobox issue
Hi folks I've got a combobox that is in a swf that get's dynamically loaded into a master clip with a mask on the container (so the combobox is in a masked, loaded swf). When it first shows on the stage, the text area shows the default text (in this case 'Select') but when the cb is clicked on, none of the contents are rendered until something is clicked again - either the scrollbar or one of the fields, and then it works properly again. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is it something to do with the focus manager? Will captain america come back from the dead? thanks for all your help (don't need the third question answered - he blatantly will) alz ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] MouseEvents on overlapping siblings in AS3
Hello, this was probably asked before, but I can't find. Imagine two or more sibling MovieClips. Both listen to MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER. When the mouse rolls over the overlapping region I would like the event to be dispatched to both of them and not only to the one above the other? How can I achieve this without using hitTest or enterframe scripts?

I eventually threw away the AS2 ComboBox because it was so buggy. However, some problems can be cured by: - Making sure there's a ComboBox instance in the top-level SWF (i.e. the SWF that is doing the loading); even if it's off-stage somewhere (or in a library symbol, as long as that library symbol is set to export in frame 1). - Using _lockroot=true on the loaded clip.

Re: [Flashcoders] strange as2 combobox issue
we did the lockroot thing - strange this is, without any rhyme or reason, it still doesn't work when the loaded swf is viewed but when it's viewed through the main swf, it's all lovely jubbly again 'sgot me knackered but i'm not touching anything :) On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 12:18 PM, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 11:53 AM, allandt bik-elliott > (thefieldcomic.com) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi folks > > > > I've got a combobox that is in a swf that get's dynamically loaded into a > > master clip with a mask on the container (so the combobox is in a masked, > > loaded swf).

Re: [Flashcoders] strange as2 combobox issue
if i use this._lockroot = true on the loaded swf (the one with the cbox), will that mess it up if it is used on it's own the behaviour seems to be that it is flaky when tested using command-return but when viewed in the browser as part of the bigger site, it 'seems' fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] strange as2 combobox issue
It shouldn't, no - all _lockroot=true does is tell the loaded clip to treat its own timeline as _root, rather than _root being the timeline of the top-level clip.

[Flashcoders] Flash Player 9, https and firefox
I recently supplied some flash to a client who deploys it via dynamically created html pages (with sharepoint in the mix). The flash reads an xml configuration file. Natuarally during testing everything has worked without problem, however once deployed on the end-client site, https has become an issue (though never mentioned to me until now) and apparently there is now an "issue". First thoughts are that a crossdomain policy file might do the trick, but the client seems to thing that the xml configuration is read from the same place as the flash is deployed. It's all a bit like chinese whispers. Any particular gotchas I should know about with https, flash 9 (AS3) and perhaps firefox (not sure if this is only a firefox problem). Initial searches on the web talk about a firefox problem and flash getting confused about ports, but I'm not sure if this is still a current issue. Any ideas?
