[Flashcoders] FocusManager in External SWF
Hey people, Light please? -- Forwarded message -- From: Daniel Boey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 11:30 PM Subject: FocusManager in External SWF To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Hi people, I was able to get FocusManager to work properly in let's call it, SWF B. But when I load SWF B into SWF A, I get an error, TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.managers::FocusManager/activate() at fl.managers::FocusManager() at class::SWF_A() This is baffling me, apparently it's dying out at the constructor of SWF B itself right after I instantiate with focusManager:FocusManager = new FocusManager(this); Works just splendid in SWF B on its own, allowing me to go to NextFocusManagerComponent and all. I don't get it, can anybody shed some light on this? -- Thanks & Best regards, Daniel Boey ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Checking if a Function Exists
There's a bug if you return in a try or catch (maybe it's just catch). Colin Moock mentions it in his AS3 book. I personally think it's cleaner to return after a try catch because try catch is not an if else and really shouldn't be treated as such, but that might be because I have avoided returning inside them since I first started using them because of the bug. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Rotating device text in AS3 for Flash 10
List, you're my last resort. Has anyone ran into any way of rotating textfields that use 'device' fonts in Flash 10? Other than making a BitmapData copy and using that instead, that is. I'm not sure this is at all possible now, but with so many changes to the way text works, I'm having a hard time getting a definitive answer. Embedding them in /real/ time would do too, if there's anything crazy like that.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Checking if a Function Exists
Thanks for the tip, Steven - any info as to why? If the error is
thrown, the function returns; if it isn't thrown, the function
returns. Is this just 'good practice' - if so, instead of blindly
following dogma, I'd like a little insight as to _why_ it's good
practice?
(I've had issues like this in the past where it turns out the 'good
practice' evolved because of a specific implementation bug in an early
C++ compiler, rather than because it was actually good practice for
the language I was using at the time.)
