You have 2 choices so far... you can set up a poll (using onEnterFrame)
to figure out when the images have finished loading and then attach the
events or you can do as David suggested and nest your images inside
another clip. I don't really know if either solution is better than the
other, but with the code you already have and what David suggested you
can make a few changes and probably get by. Some code:
var models = new Array();

Re: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip
What do you have against onEnterFrame? I think when you're loading into mc's it makes sense to use it simply because with setInterval, there's a chance that the image will be fully loaded (bl==bt), but it fires one frame before the mc's onLoad has fired, meaning your onRollOver or whatever still won't stick. Maybe I'm wrong and just being paranoid? john On Apr 6, 2007, at 3:30 PM, David Ngo wrote: Personally, I find onEnterFrames bad practice to use unless you absolutely have to (if your logic is frame-based, etc).

Hi Experts, I've connected to a web service and can see the result fields in the component inspector, but can't seem to get any values into the text area the results are bound to. all i get is undefined... the storage type is complex and the data type is array. is this correct? can anyone tell me how to access the elements in the results array? thanks ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip
Here's a quick and dirty example:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 10);
img.loadMovie("some.jpg");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (img._width > 2) {
this.assignActions();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
function assignActions()
{
img.onRollOver = function() {
// do something
};
img.onRollOut = function() {
// do something
};
img.onRelease = function() {
// DO SOMETHING!
};
}

Re: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip
You have 2 choices so far... you can set up a poll (using onEnterFrame)
to figure out when the images have finished loading and then attach the
events or you can do as David suggested and nest your images inside
another clip. I don't really know if either solution is better than the
other, but with the code you already have and what David suggested you
can make a few changes and probably get by. Some code:
var models = new Array();
models = [ "model1", "model2", "model3", "model4"];
trace(models.length);
for (i=0; i trace (newMC);// so far works until here, creating the movieclips and
loading the pics inside then and assigning them a respective value for
x and y
///from now on, I got the problem, it appear that can't accept any
event in the movie clips
newMC.onRollOver= function(){
trace("hello");
}
}
Hope it helps. Keep in mind that this doesn't let you adjust the size
of the image. For that you'll have to go the other route and wait until
the image has fully loaded. You could do that using the code above, but
attach an onEnterFrame to your "newMC"... like so:
newMC.onEnterFrame = function() {
var bl = img_mc.getBytesLoaded();
var bt = img_mc.getBytesTotal();
if(bl == bt && bt > 0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
// your image is now loaded... do whatever you want here.
}
}

You could try creating a container movieclip inside your clip and load the

RE: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip
I would go with David' suggestion of a container clip to assign the
behavior to, and a separate clip to load the image into so you don't
worry about the images being loaded, or, a function that checks to see
all the clips are loaded, and if so, then calls a separate function that
has a loop to assign the onRollOver actions. Both approaches would have
their advantages and disadvantages. And also mind Andrew's post where
he indicated you used RollOver instead of onRollOver.

RE: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip
What you can also do is create a nested MovieClip and load your image on
that. That way, you set your handlers on the parent clip and don't have to
worry about when it loads.

RE: [Flashcoders] Window component scrolling...am I insane?
I've never used the Window component. I don't even know what it does. I don't use MM components unless I'm mocking something up really quick. The combo box, check box and radio buttons are the only ones I ever use. IMO, the rest are garbage, especially the scrollpane. Everything else I'm better off writing my own or reusing my own or using a 3rd party one like mCom or Ghostwire. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Anti-aliased text in components
...just use global styles to set the font on the components to an
embedded font in your swf. The components aren't anti-aliased because
they use device fonts.

{
bChecked = true;
}
}
return bChecked;

}
I have only tested it on a List component so far, and it does not
work.
I can't even figure out where the actual TextFields are in a List
component. How could MM overlook this? The components are useless
when
you can't match the text to the rest of your app...any ideas/help?

Re: [Flashcoders] re: createTextField
Try adding:
mytext.embedFonts = true;
Also, put an empty dynamic textfield (offstage), select the font
"mysilkscreen" and embed the characters you need.
Should do it.

[Flashcoders] Captivate to flash
Hi, When I export captivate 2 file to flash 8 the fade in effects and the audio I had integrated in the file gets lost. The Audio is in the library but the fade in effect is lost. Is there any setting by which I can over come this. I had published it to swf in that it shows all the effects. But once I export it to flash 8 the effects are all lost. Please suggest why this happens.

RE: [Flashcoders] re: createTextField
TextFields don't have onRollOver events, but MovieClips do. So you'll
need to first create a MovieClip (like in your first question) and then
create the textField in it. Heres some example code:
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace("myMovieClip: " + myMovieClip);
var myTextField:TextField =
myMovieClip.createTextField("myTextField_txt",
myMovieClip.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 300, 100);
trace("myTextField: " +myTextField);
myTextField.text ="test";
myMovieClip.onRollOver = function(){
myTextField.text = "NEW TEXT";
}
In the code above 'this' would be your _root layer. Coding to _root is
generally considered a bad practice.
Hope that helps!

well, I have simplified everything. My only two little issues now
are:
1. my mouseover does not work to change the text's color.
2. i imported silkscreen bitmap font size 8 linkage for first
frame, and linked for actionscript. i named it mysilkscreen.
however, when i execute the movie, no errors but the font is just a
generic serif font now, any ideas? its tough when flash gives me no
errors.
here is the code:
_root.myRed = 0xFF;
_root.myLightGray = 0x99;
_root.myDarkGray = 0x353535;
_root.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,300,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = false;
menuFonts_Fmt = new TextFormat();
with(menuFonts_Fmt) {
color = myLightGray;
bullet = false;
underline = false;
font="mysilkscreen";
size = 8;
}
mytext.text = "Writing";
mytext.setTextFormat(menuFonts_Fmt);
//
_root.mytext.onRollOver = function() {
_root.mytext.textColor = myDarkGray;
