Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects

[Gabino Travassos]

I think you'll have to provide some code. It's hard to tell why you've 
orphaned your text. Maybe your targeting the wrong clip. It can be 
pretty convoluted.

Thanks Gabino for the quick answer. However, I do not know what I have 
done
incorrectly. As per my second email, I have an empty mc on the root 
and I

have created a text field in there, also load in mcs in there, and
attachMovie some buttons. But when I move the mc in root only the 
images

which are loaded in move when I move it?

Hi Jonathan,

How about creating a root movieclip and then making your objects as
children of that clip, so something (pseudocode) like:
create movieclip f1 // root button
create movieclip f1.button1 // button clip
create text field f1.button1.text1 // text
create movieclip f1.button1.rect1 // rectangle

and then you can move f1._x+=10 or f1._visible=0

 Hi all, I hope this is not too basic, but are there any tutorials

hints on how to move multiple objects as a group with AS (preferably 
AS2)?
Whenever you could throw me a line I would appreciate it! Thanks so 
much.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Moving groups of objects

[Helmut Granda]

Hi berry.. do you also need help into attaching the elements to the empty
movieclip? If you have already attached all the necessary elements to the
movieclip on the stage then it is just a matter of moving the movieclip
where you loaded all the data into. Say you named that movieclip container
all you have to do is the following:
conatiner._x = 200;
container._y = 300'

and all the elements that have been included into the "container" MC will
move with it.

Does that makes sense?

Re: [Flashcoders] removing all listeners from a dpo

[Juan Pablo Califano]

No worries.

Personally, I think in most cases using this approach would not save you
much work (in case it works in the first place).

But I agree that it would be useful that the EventDispatcher class exposed a
method to remove all listeners and probably a method to query any
EventDispatcher object about all its registered listeners (maybe returning
an array of some read only value objects / data structures, to prevent
accidental inconsistencies). You have the hasEventListener method, but you
have to know what events to look for before hand, so in this scenario it's
not of much help, I guess.

Cheers
Juan Pablo Califano

Thanks everyone! 


One more question if I may - how can I exclude certain things like blank
spaces?  I mean, I could check the textfield, but it would seem there is
an easier way.  If I put a blank space (or nothing for that matter) in
the input text field and search for that, it returns all nodes.  I could
check the input text field, but I'd rather do it with a regular
expression (both for elegance and to learn).  The help docs are skimpy,
so excuse so many questions here.  It's also such a huge subject, it's
very hard to Google exactly what you need.

The only reason I can think of for not using a single library is the case
in which loading a movie would override a previously defined font.
It would explain why a loaded movie can use fonts from loader but
not the other way around (a kind of visibility graph).

I had similar problem a while back on a pure AS3 project, but it only  
manifested in IE 6 to my knowledge. Essentially you need to listen for

Re: [Flashcoders] DART & external SWFs/.as?

[Manuel Ponce de Leon]

Hi Tim,

I just happen to work for DoubleClick/Google :)

That is totally inaccurate, if you are using the Motif AdKit, you can 
add any external file as a child asset as you've done before. goes 
without saying, as long as that file type is supported by Flash (SWF, 
XML, JPG, MP3, text).


If the SWF files need to be hosted in an external server, these can be 
loaded into the main asset just as well, regular Flash Player 
cross-domain policies applying, for those cases the child files are 
calling methods on the parent file or vice-versa. These are Flash Player 
policies and as such they apply to any Flash content on the web, no 
matter the vendor (this is, it's not a constraint one vendor will have 
while other don't - Flash is the same for everyone, which is part of its 
beauty)


Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing Images

[Matt S.]

smoothing. Cast the image as a Bitmap and apply smoothing, and you'll
be able to resize without image degradation.

function loadTheImage(iMG):void {
url = "uploads/"+iMG+".jpg";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(request);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onThumbLoad);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, 
preLoader);

}

function onThumbLoad(e:Event):void {
//"cast" the loaded content as Bitmap
var b:Bitmap;
b = e.target.content as Bitmap;
b.smoothing = true;

this.img_mc.addChild(b);
}

.m

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing Images

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Theodore,

   (I'm assuming this is AS2...)

   Are these images in the library?

   If so, go to Properties and make sure "Smoothing" is ticked.

   If you're loading external images, there is a bug in AS2 which
stops smoothing from working properly.

There's a workaround for it detailed here:
http://code.awenmedia.com/node/27

That should get rid of the pixellation.

Hope that helps,
   Ian

[Flashcoders] Shared fonts

[strk]

I'm trying to figure wheter the overcomplex solutions for shared fonts
are due to bugs in the proprietary player or design choices.

In particular, why shouldn't a loader movie be allowed to use
fonts defined in a *loaded* movie while the other way around should
be possible ?

Or, why not maintaining a single shared font library for a whole run ?

RE: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour

[Merrill, Jason]

That was it, it works now, thanks.  Funny, I didn't notice that, I had
it in my code before, but somewhere along the line of messing with
things, it just switched back over to .toString() and I hadn't noticed.
Thanks everyone! 

One more question if I may - how can I exclude certain things like blank
spaces?  I mean, I could check the textfield, but it would seem there is
an easier way.  If I put a blank space (or nothing for that matter) in
the input text field and search for that, it returns all nodes.  I could
check the input text field, but I'd rather do it with a regular
expression (both for elegance and to learn).  The help docs are skimpy,
so excuse so many questions here.  It's also such a huge subject, it's
very hard to Google exactly what you need.

[Flashcoders] AS3 shop

[Romuald Quantin]

Hi everyone,

 

Do you know some solid flash cart / flash shop in AS3?

 

Even classes to manage a cart, I wouldn't like to build everything. I found
some but unfortunately in AS2.

 

Thanks
