[Flashcoders] TextField width bizarrenesss
Okay teddy bears, I may be doing something really dumb here, but I have
checked my code through thoroughly and can't find any stupid mistakes,
maybe you can spot the deliberate one??
I have a button with a background and a text field.
The button is resized dynamically according to the length of time it
represents and the resolution.
The size is applied to both the background and the text field.
For some reason, my text field width always ends up 1.5 x the width of
the background
Here is some code below - as you can see the _renderWidth is calculated
and applied to both _text and _bg - the trace always shows the text is
1.5 x the _renderWidth - any ideas???
protected function _styleButton(xmlConf:XML):void {
switch(_btnType) {
case CLIP_DRAG_TYPE:
case TIMELINE_TYPE:
//Button maybe sized according to length and has
icon or text label.
this._bg.height = TIMELINE_BTN_HEIGHT;
this._numText.visible = false;
_attachIcon(xmlConf, TIMELINE_BTN_HEIGHT);
//resize button!
var dur:int = duration;
if (_minDuration duration) {
dur = _minDuration;
}
_renderWidth = int(PIX_PER_SEC * int(Math.max((dur /
_minDuration), 1)));
this._bg.width = _renderWidth;
this._text.width = _renderWidth;
this._text.x = Math.floor((this._bg.width -
this._text.width) / 2);
break;
}
_initialised = true;
trace(ComposeButton::_styleButton + this.name + type
+ _btnType + width + this.width + _numText width +
this._numText.width + _text width + this._text.width +
_renderWidth + _renderWidth);
}

StupuidQuestionSoPleaseDon'tHitMeI'mTryingToHelpEvenThoughThisIsLame... Has there been a scaleX applied to any of the items (_bg, _text, this). That's the only way I could reproduce your results.

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField width bizarrenesss
Thanks - I don't think so - I have checked through the code for scaling, but not apparent. I even resized my graphics for the clips so the children are not scaled at all in the IDE...

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField width bizarrenesss
Yeah, I tried different ways of scaling the mc's in the IDE and couldn't reproduce the results -- scaling in the IDE is just adjusting width/height not scalex/y. Nother stupid question, but this is a MovieClip instance type or an actual Button instance type? I assumed MC, just because I haven't used Buttons in years. Don't know if it helps, but your code does exactly what it's supposed to do for me.

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField width bizarrenesss
It's a subclass of a subclass of Sprite, both of which are handrolled. I thought it was possibly to do with 9slice scaling or something, but no. It's bizarre - I might clear out my FLA and see..

It is far from impossible to make one with the same name, but you are asking for name collisions. I hope that you have a good reason for the name. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hi. Just wanted to post a follow-up on my previous posts regarding Adobe dropping the beta version of the Distributable Player Solution (aka: Mobile Packages).

It's an Adobe AIR application running on an unknown tablet device. It's not an iPad and has nothing to do with it. Someone made a mistake with the copy for the article. FYI, it's not impossible to do this in other languages or environments. There are other, more powerful frameworks that are robust for UI development and multi-touch systems than Flash. - jon On Feb 16, 2010, at 7:55 PM, Ktu wrote: Looks like a great example of how Flash with AIR can create experiences that would otherwise be impossible.

Re: [Flashcoders] Has everyone seen this yet?
It's how printed media might be transformed if people warm up to the whole concept. It doesn't really matter what platform or device it runs on. We saw some AIR and some Cocoa-touch. Looks pretty juicy but also a little confusing and non-standardized (yet).

Re: [Flashcoders] Has everyone seen this yet?
My mistake for saying such a strong statement. Of course there are other frameworks available to do the same thing. Glad its not actually an iPad. I think I'm just glad to see Flash being used for more than just flashy websites and games. Flash can do a lot more than I see it get credit for on a day to day basis. (And I know flash is used for more than just websites. I've developed quite a few things outside the website realm) I would like to see it in my hands to evaluate the usability. In theory it could be brilliant but yes, people will have to warm up to it, and it will have to be standardized. Strictly out of curiosity Jon, would anyone actually choose a different framework to develop this type of application? Does it make sense considering development life cycle and platform availability?

Re: [Flashcoders] Has everyone seen this yet?
I think the statement was justified... this is Flashcoders. I just wanted to state that developing UIs like that isn't limited to Flash, that's all. :) After doing more research, it's entirely possible that this is running on an iPad. We just can't tell from the video if that really is, in fact, the case. Whether or not it's an iPad though doesn't mean much in the context of the coolness of the application itself. I think any technology could be used to develop an application like this - from WPF/SL, Flash to more complex environments using Cocoa, openFrameworks and . That last comment though – whether or not it makes sense – is probably the largest unknown. I can see many reasons why choosing Cocoa would be better than choosing Flash, in the case of iPhone development. Or, in the case of a windows platform target, I can see reasons why WPF/SL or Surface would be chosen. I think we're all past the question of 'what framework/kit/language can we do that in?' If given the time, we can do pretty much anything in any language. I like to think that these days, it's the hardware that limits us. - j On Feb 16, 2010, at 9:47 PM, Ktu wrote: My mistake for saying such a strong statement.
