Re: [Flashcoders] papervision as2 mouse projection
Ok, it seems the as2 papervision horribly distorts the perspective, and each addded hotspot makes the panorama slower. So back at square one. Essentially what I'm looking for is a panorama that takes 6 cube faces and a hotspot definition and generates a cool panorama with hotspots that light up as you mouse over them in 3d space, and that all in as2 :). So I'm looking for the documentation that provides me with the knowledge on how cubic panorama's work... yes grasping at straws here:), any pointers pretty plz... regards, JC On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM, Hans Wichman j.c.wich...@objectpainters.com wrote: Hi, yes the as3 version does:) But I'm very lucky to be stuck on the same as2 project for 5 years in a row... However I chose the easy way out, I've drawn the hotspot in a separate layer and now I can click.

[Flashcoders] Extending Flex UIComponent in flash SWC
Hi, Im creating a SWC with some UI movieclips exported in the lib to use with FLEX. Right now they extend MovieClip and when I create a new instance in FLEX and add to mx:Box I need to add to rawChildren. This means I cant use the alignment properties of mx:Box to align the graphics. apart from adding them to a new UIComponent as a child and then adding the UIComponent to the Box, is there another way to do this? thanks, MaTT ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] dynamically capture and display the name of the currently executing function in the Output panel
Question: Is there a simple way to dynamically capture and display the name
of the currently executing function in the Output panel?
Sample function:
function doStuff ():void {
trace (Function: doStuff() );
//run doStuff code...
}
Without hardcoding the name of the function in the trace statement shown
above, can I somehow display the function name dynamically when it runs?
I've never seen this done but thought I'd ask anyway
TIA

You'll need to use a Sprite. Make sure to use event.updateAfterEvent() on your mouseMove event handler. Should work fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] a real custom cursor
If you are replying to me for the cursor thing and Java, I was controlling the position and I believe I changed the cursor to another type that was already available in the OS. It was so long ago, but I don't think I was able to change the OS cursor to something not already available to it.

Re: [Flashcoders] a real custom cursor
what kind of update method are you using. If the mouse is lagging, perhaps set up a hyper update function. (hyper in the sense that it updates like twice a frame?) other than that, not sure.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically capture and display the name of the currently executing function in the Output panel
There is a way to this as a hack. No good way though.
The hack way is to do a try catch, throw an error in the try and parse the
error message in the catch. Only works with the debug player I believe.

[Flashcoders] Flash doesn´t detect MOUSE_LEAV E event while dragging outside stage on Firefox
Hello,
Is there any workaround to the issue with Adobe Flash where a Flash Movie
does not receive a MOUSE_LEAVE event if the mouse is dragged outside of the
movie? Neither when i MOUSE_UP outside the stage.
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, dropIt);
function dropIt(e1:MouseEvent = null, e2:Event = null):void {
textField.text = OK ; // extreme debug method
full_mc.stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, dropIt);
}
That actually works when I run the SWF file, and even on IE.
But on Firefox and Chrome nothing happens, it continues dragging the
MovieClip when the cursor returns to stage. The dropIt function doesn´t run
( the textField.text doesn´t update)
Thanks a lot!
Isaac

Yup, using CS4. Doing the same thing as you described: - select File - Publish Settings - in Formats tab: - deselect HTML in Flash tab - select Flash Player 9 - select ActionScript 3 - select Export SWC - create Movieclip symbol, fill in a class name (export for ActionScript) - select the Movieclip in Library, select Commands - Convert Symbol to Flex Component - File - Publish I'm only asked to change the framerate to 24 when converting the MovieClip to Flex Component.
