[Flashcoders] Singleton AS2
I have 5 applications and one of them was created with the Singleton pattern, those 5 apps are being loaded at different times into a container, when any of the movies is loaded and unloaded everything works fine but everytime the movie with the Singleton pattern is loaded into the container it creates a new copy of itself. one way to see that is creating a static counter variable that increases everytime the movie is loaded into the container. Could some one point me to a site where I could understand why this is happening. I understand what is going on but I can't grasp the reasoning behind it so that I can avoid those duplicates.

I may not understand. I can't tell if this means that no mouse down is fired with MOUSE_OVER/_OUT or if a mouse down is fired automatically with ROLL_OVER/_OUT, or something else. What I guessed this means is that ROLL_OVER/_OUT occurs when the mouse is down when the rollovers occur, and MOUSE_OVER/_OUT occurs when the mouse is up when the rollovers occur. In any case, I can't find an instance where mouse down has any impact. The short story is, ROLL_OVER/_OUT was introduced to prevent out/over sequences between touching/overlapping children of a display object container. For example, if you created a menu by grouping three touching buttons inside a display object container, and rolled into the first, through the middle and out the last, you would get this with ROLL_OVER/_OUT... over out ...but this with MOUSE_OVER/_OUT... over out over out over out You can see this by setting up a file this way: button or clip 1, touching button or clip 2, inside a parent clip in the main timeline, then make another copy of the parent clip, instancing the first "doc1" and the second "doc2", using this code: doc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, report) doc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, report) doc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, report) doc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, report) function report(evt:MouseEvent):void { trace(evt) } Rich >From the documentation: "The purpose of the rollOver event is to simplify the coding of rollout behaviors for display object containers with children. When the mouse leaves the area of a display object or the area of any of its children to go to an object that is not one of its children, the display object dispatches the rollOver event.

We have a a few Desktop Flash applications: One is a main application, the other an update utility for the main app. They use a Flash Cookie to find each other, as the main app could be installed anywhere (USB, C). The apps are based in Director using the Flash8 Xtra. Say we start with a completely empty SharedObjects folder Running the main app sets a cookie into a folder like Flash Player\#SharedObjects\BFYLPV7P\localhost\02000.sol via a call like var so : SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal ("02000", "/"); where "/" should see the root of the Flash Cookies. then say Pandora (or any other flash based website using cookies) runs it generates a new sandbox Flash Player\#SharedObjects\2S7GJDMQ\pandora.com and then all future read requests are against that new '2S7GJDMQ' folder instead of the "BFYLPV7P" folder, and then neither the app or the updater, can see the old shared local object folder anymore. Which in the case of it containing lots of persistent configuration data, is the equivalent of clearing the Browser cache and forgetting everything. Trying to understand how it's created, I can delete the contents of the shared Objects folder and then republish in the Flash IDE and get a new hash for the folder every time so it seems to be either random or time based.

Re: [Flashcoders] #SharedObject not so shared
I remember asking the same question years ago. The answer was something like this: SharedObject.getRemote("my_so", "rtmp:/./..", "/"); I am not completely sure and do not have time to test it. As I forgot my mailing list password I couldnt search the archives... And next to that, I'm not sure if it still works in the current players.

Re: [Flashcoders] Photoshop CS3 breaks Flash development workflow
Hey Steven, you can always go another route to have the same result. At the bottom of the History palette, there's a button called "Create new document from current state". You could use this and then flatten the image. I'm not sure if you're using this action to export to PNG/JPG, but I've been using an action to do this that I'd like to share, it's been incredibly useful for me. I've mapped it to F2, so I can just set the desired selection and hit the shortcut. 1. Create new document from current state 2. Crop (it will remember the previous selection) 3. save (with prompt) 4. close (no save) Try it out here: http://www.nectere.ca/ps_actions.zip F3 is mapped to the same behavior, but it also expands the canvas with an additional 2 pixels transparent border ( oldschool bitmap shift fix ).
