Re: [Flashcoders] Re: SWAddress logical workflow
Hi, By interrupting the loading / transition I mean: If someone navigates, causing a change in the SWFAddress URL and you start loading data corresponding to the change... ...THEN, whilst your data is still loading, someone clicks the back / forward buttons, maybe more than once... Your SWFAddress URL will change again and you MAY need to handle that change gracefully by interrupting what is going on already and dealing with last SWFAddress change received... For exampe: If you are halfway through an animated transition, what do you do - wiat for it to finish or stop it and make it run backwards, stop it and start a different one?? I don't know if Gaia does this - it might do out of the box reasonably well, so check it out... If you are loading data, that may be easy to interrupt - you could look at swapping Loader objects over, remove listeners from the dead one, if you can't tell the existing Loader to start over with your new request. Whatever happens, you either have to wait until the previous loading/animation finishes (takes time and this is what holds your site up), or you build in a way of killing that and doing another. I think the latter would make your site more responsive, but may take a lot of time and effort to get right so you may have to weigh up pros cons.

Personally, I have not really thought about this in my stuff before, but the way you said you were approaching the SWFAddress bit seemed sensible to me - going a round-about way by setting the URL when you navigate in Flash then responding to the change via SWFAddress. This seems much safer because everything goes through a single route. There is a nice example of doing the dynamic thing with PHP in the SWFAddress examples. You can even tweak the whole site with Apache mod_rewrite to get pretty URL's - this may / may not work with Zend AMF quite nicely so download and examine this example: http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/samples/seo/ which seems to be the smoothest one. If you are worried about fast clicking, have a look to see how an HTML site behaves with this - I guess you get half-assed page loading, etc. But people expect to wait a bit for something to load if they go back forth, you just have to be prepared to interrupt what you are doing (I should probably take my own advice here and make sure my SWFAddress site behaves nicely) Hope this helps and if you come up with any interesting stuff, let us know!

[Flashcoders] understand getChildByName
Hi All, New to AS3. I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I'm at a loss. Example: I have created a movie clip - called myMC. I added it to an existing movie clip called main (main.addChild(myMC)). At this point myMC traces as [object MovieClip]. I load an as2 swf into myMC. At this point myMC traces as [object MainTimeline]. I change myMC's y value to 100 and it traces as 100. Later I want to move it again. To reference it I create a variable like this: var mc:DisplayObject = main.getChildByName(myMC); Now when I trace mc's y value it is 0. I don't know why. Does the trace [object MainTimeline] indicate that I've used addChild incorrectly? Should I have added myMC to main after it had loaded? Why did it go from a MovieClip object to a MainTimeline object? Does the fact that I'm loading in an as2 swf have anything to do with it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anyone knows a tutorial or how-to skin the scroll bar component in flash, I'd rather have something different than the regular scroll bar of flash CS3. regards, Gus ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Now if you have anything with a scrollbar in your movie, the local edited copy of the component should override the default graphics. Try it by adding a text field on stage, setting it to a fixed height, drag a scrollbar onto it, fill text field with text lines height of text field, test movie...
