It sounds like you're replacing the document class for some reason. Which,
most often, is indeed a singleton. Although I normally aim towards it being
static for all intents and puposes, and use that as my central information
source for passing around shared assets/code etc.Tell me if I'm
Hi cool list.
In the following piece of code, I cannot make the type of the parent reference
to DisplayObject. If I set the reference-type to *, all works fine. But there
must be a more sophisticated way that produces cleaner code.
Anyone?
Code:
public class Test extends Sprite
{
Sander,
.parent is of type DisplayObjectContainer, not DisplayObject. Only
DisplayObjectContainers have the .addChild() method.
If you use DisplayObjectContainer as r's type, it should all work fine.
HTH,

Why aren't you using a static class for that instead of a Singleton?

Mike,
A mask (as defined by setMask()) isn't a visible object, so you
can't apply clicks to it like that. setMask() is used for clipping
areas of a movieclip (like looking at the movieclip through an
irregularly-shaped window).
A better bet would be either to apply the onRelease/onMouseDown
Hi,
Use a transparent clip over the top rather than making a clip a mask
for your loaded clip - that should intercept mouse clicks, not sure a
mask will?

Okay well setting these values:
mask.onMouseUp = Delegate.create(this, advertClickthrough);
mask.onRelease = function() { }
mask.onPress = function() { }
mask.onMouseDown = function() { }
mask.onMouseMove = function() { }
to

I forget but doesn't the _mc.enabled property cascade downwards? So once
loaded you could set the container for the loaded swf as enabled = false...

Hi,
You need a separate clip to attach the mouse handlers too - not the
loaded clip, but another transparent one over the top of this - you
probably need something in the mousetrap clip with an alpha of 0 to
make this work.

I think enabled only applies to the clip, not it's children.

setting _adContainter.enabled = false; doesnt work. (this is the one that
contains the loaded swf);
I have tried using MovieClipLoader and then doing the masking and the event
listening after the load too
If you would like i can do you an example with that method too.
I have tried making a
Okay the mousetrap over the top doesnt work. Find the new example here:

Okay i have now tried the mc.enable approach and still the clicks are
getting through?

Use the (very) old invisible button trick.
So create a Button symbol with only the hit state (keyframe) defined and put that on top of the movieclip that holds the loaded
swf.

Hi Mendelshon,
You shouldn't use a singleton to take off, just use that main document
class to take of !
The main Document class is automatically your main stage as a MovieClip
- Displayobject.
That is always a static class and is a Singleton by itself I gues
becuase you only van have 1 stage

I am using compc to compile a swc with the classes I need in it.
The problem is, when I inspect the swc the formal parameter names in the

Does anyone know how I can change this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
How could I convert a bitmap to a binary-coded bitmap ... or anything
else that will represent a binary-coded image ?
Thanks

If you mean 'how do I encode a bitmap into an image format' e.g. PNG
or JPEG, check out this library:
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/wiki/Main
which has code for both PNG and JPEG.

No it's more like to obtein a treshold image...I just read that in a

The reason why the input image is converted to a binary-coded image is
because binary-coded image requires less data size than color or BW image.
get not more clue with google :)

If you're just after the look the TweenFilterLite library has a great
inbuilt filter. But if you actually want to convert it, I imagine you'd just
run through every pixel and if the value (calculated however you'd like) is
greater than your decided threshold, make it white, else black. I'm not
Yeah, the invisible buton trick won't do in this case (only just now looked at
the zip file).
Looks like the loaded swf listens for Mouse Events.
An overlaying invisible button will only work to prevent underlying buttons
from working.
I'm not sure if there's a way to 'hijack' those mouse
Hi,
BitmapData class has a threshold method that does what Ashim mentioned which
if you were to go to the extreme 0 and 255 of a pixel value you'd ultimately
obtain a black and white image anyway. Main use of thresholding however is
for image processing purposes which I will not go in depth here
