Re: [Flashcoders] Ideas for a Fill in the gaps activity
Piers, I thank you kindly. In fact, I fall humbly to my knees and offer you my first-born goat. A rough draft of your idea can be seen here: http://snipurl.com/2azzy-meep There was a concern regarding large chunks of (non-editable) text dropping to the next line, so I've temporarily gotten around it by putting each non-editable word into its own textfield. Is that overkill? Will there be problems with drawing hundreds of textfields onChange? Next hurdle: working out how to deal with reeeally long text entry. ie, when the input textfield width exceeds line space remaining. Creating a new, symbiotic input textfield for user input to flow into strikes me as a massive headache, especially when it comes evaluating the user data later. I spose we can but try. I'll keep posting improvements as (or if) they happen. Thanks again! On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 8:21 PM, Piers Cowburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's a solution (in English rather than code though): Create an array of your two different types of fields (editable and non-editable). Create a render function (triggered once at the start, and then subsequently by the Change event of any of the editable fields) which loops through this array making labels / input fields for each one accordingly. Each time you create a new label, check to see if the width of it will exceed the width of the page, and if so, split it into two fields, with the second being on a new line. I think that should work.

It can be seen here: http://snipurl.com/2askk-meep. I have to make something like this in Flash, and it's leaving me stumped. It seems like I'd need all the text (plus growable gaps) to be within one text field, to retain the flow of the words in the paragraph. However, said text field can't just be an input text field because that would make all the text editable. Any ideas very welcome. Even a very small idea 0 idea, which is what I have at the moment. Thanks! I have done this for a commercial product using drag and drop. All the gaps were just drop zones, suitably sized to accept the (largest possible) draggable answer. The non editable text was just labels. The layout was fixed with text flow done by hand. It was a multiple choicedrag and drop thing though - in your case you can just substitute the drop zone for input fields. It is messy, so I'm looking forward to some clever solutions..

Re: [Flashcoders] Image in dynamic text field
Try concatenating the html text and the image if you want the image inline. By your code snippet I'm assuming that you are setting the text in the field then setting the image which is why you get a line break after the data. Try this... ie. movTxt.imageData.htmlText = images[j]+imgContent[j]; You could get more complex on where you'd want that image to sit in the text if you did an indexOf for a particular on the string (data). -Gerry On May 28, 2008, at 2:15 AM, Rajiv Seth (Pixelated) wrote: XML is like: imageshow image path=images/home1.jpg url=www.google.com data=The Department of Education has several options for youth aged between 16 to 21 who are either not attending school or are at risk of droppinglt;img id='arrow' src='arrow' /gt; / /imageshow Actually I want this arrow image which is in data attribute, to be linked to url given in url attribute of above XML.

Yet when I run the applicatin then close the preview window. I get the error listed for every file I loaded into the app. Does anyone has any insight of why this is happening?

[Flashcoders] AS3 GModeler?
Hiya, I'm starting planning an AS3 project and have previously used Gmodeler to plan my classes. Are there any similar apps that will generate my stub classes in the same way GModeler did for AS2?

Re: [Flashcoders] Rectangle doesnt have scaleX/Y?
Ofcourse :) Right now I'm working on a project that does involve a scrollbar. What i do with the Rectangle class is i measure the handle of the scrollbar and use it for the bounds to drag it to. Like so: _maxScroll = _track.height - _handler.height; _bounds = new Rectangle( _handler.x, _handler.y, 0, _maxScroll ); And then in my function where i do the actual dragging, i do this: _handler.startDrag( false, _bounds ); If you look at the documentation for the Rectangle Class it also says this: The following methods and properties use Rectangle objects: * The bounds parameter for the startDrag() method of the Sprite class Hope this makes sense, to me it does :) Sid On May 28, 2008, at 5:33 PM, Helmut Granda wrote: to add to Sid's comments From the docs: *Note:* The Rectangle class does not define a rectangular Shape display object.

I wouldn't mind at all (and I don't) when I am only loading a few files but at times I am loading several items and I get a long row of errors that cover all the real items that I care about.

[Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9
I'm having problems with Fireox blocking my popup windows. I've tried everything I can think of. It seems to happen on Windows running Firefox but I can't replicate the issue on all machines I've tested(it works on most machines but not all). Here is the class I'm using: package { import flash.external.ExternalInterface; public class URLUtil{ protected static const WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION : String = window.open; public static function openWindow(url : String, window : String = _blank, features : String = ) : void { ExternalInterface.call(WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION, url, window, features); } } } //being called this way function recholder1Release(event:MouseEvent) { URLUtil.openWindow(res1link); } Any ideas? TIA, -D ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9
This is probably not what your client wants to hear but the question has to be asked. Isn't Firefox popup blocker there for a reason? When blocking is active there is a message when a popup is attempted. Users have the choice to block or not, or to white-list your popups. I recommend allowing them that choice. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Wade Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:22 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9 I'm having problems with Fireox blocking my popup windows.
