One way to instantiate a mc as a button in as3 is:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
my_btn.buttonMode = true;
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Thanks Jim,
I've set up the AS3 event handler as you've specified, and it does change
the cursor from an arrow to a pointer, but the _up, _down and _over states
don't work. I pasted the same button symbol into an AS2 FLA file, and it
does work, so there isn't anything wrong with the way I've set my frame
labels in the button symbol.
According to the docs, it should work in AS3:
If you use the buttonMode property with the MovieClip class (which is a
subclass of the Sprite class), your button might have some added
functionality. If you include frames labeled _up, _over, and _down, Flash
Player provides automatic state changes (functionality similar to that
provided in previous versions of ActionScript for movie clips used as
buttons).
Can anyone else get this working in AS3???

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Yes, I can find nothing in as3 docs about support for that shortcut (_up,_over,
_down frame labels). The buttonMode=true only affects the cursor - changes it
from pointer to hand.
afaik, you need to set functions for each event - possible mouse events include:
CLICK
DOUBLE_CLICK
MOUSE_DOWN
MOUSE_MOVE
MOUSE_OUT
MOUSE_OVER
MOUSE_UP
MOUSE_WHEEL
ROLL_OUT
ROLL_OVER
So I think you need to do this:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
my_btn.buttonMode = true;
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOutFunction);
function myOutFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
I'd love to learn otherwise, though. Of course, using the simple button
component avoids this, maybe you could just skin it to your liking? All of the
button states are separate editable mc's in the library.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Hi Adam,
Use the sample below for Button instances:
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var up:Sprite = new Sprite();
up.graphics.beginFill(0x99);
up.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
up.graphics.endFill();
var over:Sprite = new Sprite();
over.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
over.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
over.graphics.endFill();
var down:Sprite = new Sprite();
down.graphics.beginFill(0xCC);
down.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
down.graphics.endFill();
var hit:Sprite = new Sprite();
hit.graphics.beginFill(0xCC);
hit.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
hit.graphics.endFill();
var botao:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton(up);
botao.upState = up;
botao.overState = over;
botao.downState = down;
botao.hitTestState = hit;
this.addChild(botao);

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Also, the client just wants the buttons delivered in a simple graphical format, so they can add code later. They don't want me to send them an FLA with a ton of code in it, like in Leandro's example. I would go ahead and just use button symbols, but my problem is that these buttons also have an inactive state, which can be represented by a SimpleButton object.

[Flashcoders] Passing Text From Flash To ASP
Hi,
I was doing some RD on sending data from flash to Access database. Got one
example on the net, i tried modifying it and it worked. Now the problem is I
can't pass the text field values of flash to asp.
If I do it statically it works.
set objrecord=objconn.execute(insert into mydbdata(firstName,lastName)
values('john','Miranda')) //ASP code
What should be done to replace 'john' and 'Miranda' with actual values from
flash text fields?

It depends on how the vars are sent from Flash.
If sent via a GET (i.e. the vars form part of the asp target page URL, as a
querystring, then the asp uses:
Request.Querystring(some_value_name)
If the data is sent in the form of a POST request, then the asp is:
Request.Form(some_value_name)

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
According to the docs, it *is* supported. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Sprite.html#buttonMode If you use the buttonMode property with the MovieClip class (which is a subclass of the Sprite class), your button might have some added functionality. If you include frames labeled _up, _over, and _down, Flash Player provides automatic state changes (functionality similar to that provided in previous versions of ActionScript for movie clips used as buttons). Yeah, I could use a component, but I don't think the client is going to want that... And we're trying to keep the file size minimal. It would be really annoying if they took out this simple and useful feature. :( ___ 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

The StarWars.com logo watermark seen in all videos on this site is done with ffmpeg.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Jim,
The problem seems to be that each of my button states is a MovieClip. In
your version, the buttons states are just raw graphics and text the timeline
of the button. Do a convert to symbol on your graphics, and change each
button state into a MovieClip. The hit areas will no longer work.
This works in AS2, but not AS3, so I'm thinking it's a bug in Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
You're right. Unfortunately, there are precious few examples in the flash docs
for simple designer-type actionscript - it's all Flex type class structure.

[Flashcoders] Need help with Get Code for larger numbers
I am writing getCode for smaller numbers and everything works until two
numeric digits together are entered by the user:
this.onKeyDown = function() {
// 0 (frm 1)
if (Key.getCode() == 48){
this.gotoAndStop(1);
// 1 (frm 2)
} else if (Key.getCode() == 49){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
and the list goes on until the user imputs 10, 11, 12 thru 15.
How would I write this, when the keys are pressed for the larger
numbers?
Any help would be great.
Thanks, Sanja

Re: [Flashcoders] Estimating the time required for a project
Thanks for the once again for the advice. It has already proved useful. Kind regards James On 6/19/07, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, i think i'd recommend 'code complete', 'the mythical manmonth', 'software project survival guide', but that's just based on personal preference, picking up some books about agile development methodologies could be a good idea too. To be honest, I know the ideas in there, and read papers about it, but havent got to reading a lot of book on agile methods perse. The thing you describe with the employee sounds familiar, but I think there are two separate issues: * wrong estimates (the subject of your first email) * different programming approaches (the subject of the last email) An employee who hacks everything together might give off very accurate estimates:), the main thing probably is trying to tell your manager WHY that is not the way to go. If you are a perfectionist you might wanna plan for all those one in a million cases that happen 9 times out of 10, but if your boss asked you to develop a quick prototype, you are indeed wasting a lot of time with that formal approach (not saying you are, but just if). The reason we still do it that way is probably that we know 99,% sure that the quick prototype will end up in production before you blink your eyes, and one way or another you've been manouvered in such a position that your biting dust either way. However, i tend to keep all communication and assumptions on email, if someone wants a quick prototype, i give them a quick prototype, ok here is the quick prototype you asked for. Note it has been hacked together, meaning it will probably crash, its unmaintainable, has to be rewritten from scratch if etc etc etc.. You might go on to tell them the nitty gritty details, tell them to read a book on software project management, or tell m to just trust you, depending on the kind of work relationship/environment you are in. (note that i am leaving out the option that you have a solid simple framework, allowing you to put together prototypes more quickly with less disadvantages such as the ones described above). The books mentioned will give you a lot of information on how to educate your boss why it takes you a factor 5 or 10 or 20 compared to your collegue, if he wants a maintainable production ready system. If your boss still doesnt wanna listen, find another boss, more and more managers are seeing the light of solid software development these days :). I had the kind of collegue you mentioned and he was fired because he just couldnt get his stuff bugfree. And for yourself you need to decide what kind of project you are working on, and what kind of measures and overhead it demands. After all a nuclear power system control unit will require different methods than a bouncing flash animation. The estimate for the project I am currently working on, was originally a year. We had to do it in 3 months. So we said ok, we'll do it in 3, BUT documentation will be lacking, functionality will be lacking, it wont be as adaptable, etc, etc, but what we do create will be okay and bugfree. However if you ever want to incorporate more changes, we will have to refactor as we go along (which we are currently doing). Of course it didn't go quite as smoothly as it sounds, but in the end we are getting there. Sorry for the chaotic piece of text, but to conclude: * go with the flow, but communicate about your assumptions so they dont backfire * i try to keep a 'we see possibilities' attitude with a note of warning, instead of a 'we see only problems' attitude * read up on books and try to educate your managers, and dont worry some managers wont understand what you are trying to explain no matter how good you do it:) * if you have established that you are on the right track (based on what you read) and are still not valued and cant change it within your current organisation, leave. Shame to let good talent rot to waste:) just my 2 cnts and really the books explain these phenomena we all encounter way better than i just tried greetz JC On 6/19/07, James Deakin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for taking the time to respond Hans. I actually record how long things take already. I think you are right though perhaps the hard part is having the arguments to hand to support why it will take a while. Which books would you recommend? Where I work there is another employee who is willing to hack things together any old way. I like to do things properly and plan for the cases where the application might fail and try to deal with those gracefully. But whenever I give estimates the project manager says well the other guy can do it in 5 days. its driving me nuts. Thanks once again for the advice.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
This works in ActionScript 3.0, too. You should use Graphic instances for your button's states. Otherwise, set the InteractiveObject.mouseEnabled properties of MovieClips for each state to false. _ Adam Pasztory wrote: The problem seems to be that each of my button states is a MovieClip.
