[Flashcoders] TextField width bizarrenesss

2010-02-16 Thread Glen Pike
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

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... Jer Brand wrote: StupuidQuestionSoPleaseDon'tHitMeI'mTryingToHelpEvenThoughThisIsLame... Has there been a

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

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.. Sprite-SimpleButton-ComposeButton Jer Brand wrote: Yeah, I tried different ways of scaling the

[Flashcoders] Distributable Player Solution (aka: Mobile Packager) (yet again)

2010-02-16 Thread Andrew Murphy
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). Today I read an article that Adobe will be bringing AIR to mobile devices along with the v10.1 Flash plugin.

Looks like a great example of how Flash with AIR can create experiences that would otherwise be impossible. Too bad it will be on the iPad. On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Gregory Boudreaux gjboudre...@fedex.comwrote: Pretty cool. http://mashable.com/2010/02/16/wired-magazine-ipad-demo/

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

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). On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 8:45 PM, Jon

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

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
