[Flashcoders] passing variables to a popup using javascript instead of php/asp
hi,
just found a way to send variables to a pop up (or similar) without
having to use a server side language like php or asp.
it's a java script property called document.location.search and is
The sub string that follows the question mark is the query string or
form data.
example:
example getURL in the mother swf:
getURL('javascript:OpenWin(popup.html?someVar=' + someVar + ', 700, 400);')
and the code inside popup.html
var fo = new FlashObject(main.swf + document.location.search,
fotester, 700, 400, 7);
as i have been using php like a sucker all these years, this can make
it simpler for me to work. perhaps it can help someone else.

[Flashcoders] adding button handlers extending movieclip
He,
I have a question, wich is probably very simple.
In a class I am looping through an array to make buttons;
for (var i : Number = 0 ; i buttonList.length ; i ++)
{
var btn = makeButton (listholder_mc , 0 , 0 , labelTXT );
btn._y = 1 + (prevBtn._y + prevBtn._height);
btn.onPress = Delegate.create (this, _onPress)
btn.onRollOver = Delegate.create (this, _onRollOver)
var prevBtn = btn;
}
As you can see I am assigning button handlers by using Delegate and
pointing to a method of the class.
My question is, is it possible to it by letting this class extend the
MovieCLip class. And how would i do this.
Or is this the normal way to do it?

Hello,
I am loading dynamically some images to a emptyClip. The images have

I am using this code at my Clip but it´s not working correctly. Can anyone
help?
onClipEvent (data) {
maxWidth = 163;

Re: [Flashcoders]
2 things:
- your for loop is erroneous... your dt variable isn't used as
expected (increment it in the for statement) and your i variable is
unused and shouldn't be here ;-).
- you should prefix all your textfields with _root as they are created
on _root level.
Change your code as below, and you'll see plenty of textfields :)
for (var dt:Number = 0; dt = 70; dt++) {
dtd = var+dt;
trace (dtd);
trace (dt);
_root.createTextField (dtd, dt, 50+dt, 50+dt, 200, 100);
_root[dtd].text=dr;
_root[dtd].border = true;
_root[dtd].background = true;

Use removeColumnAt() and addColumn()/addColumnAt()

dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});

dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
myDG.dataProvider = dataArray;
myDG.removeColumnAt(2);
// Later call the following to get the column back:
myDG.addColumnAt(2, baz);
Note that the third column of data is not removed from the data
provider when you call removeColumnAt(2), it just removes the visual
representation of the data.

[Flashcoders] What is profile?
Hi all,
One for the detectives in y'all:
Background
--
I have an object, that I ought to fetch via a singleton and save as a
local variable or member of my classes, but sometimes forget to declare.
Thus sometimes I reference a member or a variable of a class, that
hasn't been defined.
The compiler doesn't complain about this certain variable, which is
quite annyoing as I thus doesn't know, that it is undefined.
Proof
-
I have very easily boiled it down to:
class Test {
function Test() {
trace(prof is +profile);
}
}
No compiler-error. Change profile to any other (non-existing) variable
and the compiler throws an error.
And of course, the trace is undefined - profile isn't a member, but why
does the compiler handle this member-name in some special way? It looks
like some nasty hack made by some developer, who forgot to remove it :)
I do hope, that you are all able to reproduce. It have confirmed it at
multiple computers using Win XP Pro and Flash 8.
Question
My question is as simple as: What is profile?

Re: [Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of amovie clip?
No, there is no way to do this by extending the MovieClip class. Unfortunately the _x and _y are unique beasts, along with all the other MovieClip properties from the Flash 4 days (such as enabled). You can't watch them, create getters/setters for them, or even over-ride them. You have to have a getter/setter x and y and inside those set the _x and _y. If you're feeling creative and absolutely have to have _x and _y as the properties to watch, then you're class can't be attached to the actual sprite. You'd have to have a real sprite-based MovieClip referenced inside the class that you manipulate. I know that probably doesn't make sense, and it's a programming project you don't want to undertake, with a lot of potential for problems and failure (I know). You'll have to use the x and y, which always looks better anyway.

Re: [Flashcoders] video weirdness
John, The streaming stops when the onRollOut event is invoked which happens when I rollout of the thumbnail images. When I noticed that i tried to desable the onRollOut event that i had on the thumbnail images to see if the same thing was happening with the onRollOver event. And yes the same thing is happening... when I rollover a new thumbnail image the movie stops streaming... Arrrgh... I don't get it there's nothing in the onRollOut or onRollOver event that trigger anything on the video. the only thing that they both have in commun is the use of the delegate class...

[Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods
Hi
Just wondering if there was a consensus on which use of getter/setters is used
most often
traditional getter/setters ie
public function get Size():Number{}
or accessor methods
public function getSize():Number{}
Which do you prefer and why...?

Re: [Flashcoders] Outsourcing
I'm assuming the USA is a developed country. Yes. Tons of work is outsourced; it's the same with manufacturing; if the same job can be done cheaper in the long run, outsourcing is a good idea. There is a high demand for Flash, yes, but a higher demand for Flex is on the horizon, mainly because bigger projects are typically done with Flex, and as such, companies are needed to take responsibility with those projects vs. individuals. Additionally, there are a ton of companies right now that have no clue what the difference between a prototype and a product is, so, even if you know just AS1 and Flash 6, you can still make bling producing prototypes that really don't function nor are coded with future modications in mind. A lot of people see a prototype as 80% done not realizing. Same goes for design work and interface prototyping as well. I'd say the future is bright for outsourcing Flex AJAX. - Original Message - From: Ramon Tayag [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FlashCoders Programming flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 10:13 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Outsourcing To all those in developed countries: Do you outsource your work to developing countries?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods
Right. And in simple assignment, getter's returned value is returned as
the assignment formula's value. According to ECMA-262 (11.13.1), the
formula's value should be its lefthand expression.
var _mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(my_mc, 1);
var a:Number = _mc._rotation=270;
trace([a, _mc._rotation]); // Output: 270,-90 // Good
var o:MyRotation = new MyRotation();
var b:Number = o.rotation=-90;
trace([b, o.rotation]); // Output: 270,270 // Bad
// ActionScript 2.0 class definition for Testing
class MyRotation {
var _rotation:Number = 0;
// gets the value between 0 and 360
function get rotation():Number {
trace([get, _rotation]);
return (_rotation%360+360)%360;
}
// sets the value between -180 and 180
function set rotation(n:Number):Void {
_rotation = (n%360+540)%360-180;
trace([set, _rotation]);
}
}
