Nah I never would... The thinking was was OK if some folks arent responsive on one list, I'll go to another different..like casting a wider net..

[Flashcoders] [SOLVED FINALLY!] Inconsistent rolling over for a plane
Life is good.
I went through major pains to figure out the answersorry for the numerous
emails but I really wanted to learn this PV thing
the answer is to not have any segments..
plane = new Plane(material,navItem.width,navItem.height,0,0);
set the segments to nothing other than 0... otherwise it literally breaks up
the plane into that many segments with tiny space in between the pieces..
WHICH IS WHY THE ROLLOVERS ARE INCONSISENT.. holy ish!
and
WHich is when you would click it wouldnt work! You were clicking on the plane
visually but in PV3d u were click in between the segment..
I know this is no revolutionary break through compared to Mr D00b :) BUT im
sending it to you in case you have every grappled with the same issue..
Dang guys you have no idea how good this feels.

This is one of those issues that seems to get neglected in most AS3 books and
online references. Then it's maddeningly difficult to find what's going wrong.
You assume that if you've added an eventlistener to the button clip, in the
handler the event target will actually be the button. However, although you
added the MouseOver listener to the button, the event target in the handler
actually turns out to be the text within the button.
I would handle this in one of two ways:
*** In the handler function, instead of using "target", use "currentTarget".
*** Set the mouseChildren property of the button to false.
Either way, your rollover should then display properly.

[Flashcoders] How to structure this site
http://dnecklesportfolio.com/pv3d/archive/2/PaperCloud.html That column represents a prototype menu, there will also be a similiar looking subnav column to the right. like my current site dnecklesportfolio.com I am redoing this site to use a lil PV. Real minimal. My question for you: Do you recommend having a class for the main navigation that contains the transition intro and outro and a seperate sub navclass for the sub nav navigation that contains the transition intro and outro and then a separate class for the project detail. This is probably an OOP question more than papervision.. Currently each part are in the old school way . 3 seperate movieclips that all talk to each other.

Gang here is a stumper for you..
When in the first trace statement j is 0 through 4 but in the second trace

inside a nested function..
what can i do to make it the same?

trace("j is"+j);
this["clip"+j]["button"+j].onRollOver = function() {

RE: [Flashcoders] buttons lined up next to each other- rollout not work
OK
on rollover the correponding text clip fades in on rollout it fades out..
during debuging.. all of the targets are "text4" and it shouldnt be..
clip0 should control text0 and etc..
but what happens is that clip0 to clip4 controls text4...
which is wrong, any suggestions?

//this also sets the event handling in one shot
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
clipName = this["clip"+i];
target= _root["text"+i]
trace(target);
clipName.onRollOver = function() {

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Biased Random Particle Distribution
My god are you guys seriously talking about Flash here. I mean this is so advanced. I feel like I gotta be a math whiz and a flash whiz ( an unexpected combination ) to get all of this. god bless you guys, meanwhile Ill be lurking figuring out how exactly "biased random particle distribution" can be applied to flash.. ill send an fla if i get it figured out goodness, Dwayne Original Message Follows From: "clark slater" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Flashcoders mailing list To: "Flashcoders mailing list" Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Biased Random Particle Distribution Date: Sat, 27 May 2006 11:58:57 -0700 Thanks Ron, I'm working on a dynamic portfolio component for a client and I've been given static designs that I have to match. The beginning of the portfolio has a couple hundred *tiny* icons that appear spread across the stage in a non overlapping random pattern. Thing is, it's not a normal distribution - with many more of the icons appearing to the upper left (origin) of the stage...then spreading out in a random but decreasingly dense pattern across the stage. So it turned out that using the squared random value worked really well in this particular case. I was kind of surprised how well it works actually. That link's a wonderful resource for these kind of things, thanks a million.

I think that the log transformation will give you less of a bias toward one side but I have not pulled out all my old stats and calculus books to check this out. It would seem that a normal distribution(cut in half and shifted) or a Poisson might be what you are looking for. What is the physical phenomenon are you trying to model? http://mathworld.wolfram.com/topics/ContinuousDistributions.html has more distributions that I ever knew existed. It has a picture and formula for each one.

[Flashcoders] {Business/Workflow} The use of mock prototypes
Hello folks, Just wondering when you are developing flash site how many folks actually develop flash prototypes or fake quick mock up of how the site functional will feel...it seems like a waste of time to me especially with larger projects... but if someone didnt mind sharing their experiences on whether one should I'd appreciate it.

[Flashcoders] Autosave Feature in Flash?
I don't know JSFL but they say its good to create extensions with it. Is it possible to create a feature that allows the files to be auto saved every or 2 minutes.. I ask cause Flash just crashed on me and when I am in the middle of some heavy flashing it's possible to forget to save it. Let me know if or if not possible.

Re: [Flashcoders] flv video encoding for flash 7

Someone suggested using sorenson squeeze instead of the flash video encoder as it may produce better results but I'm pretty green on flash video. The settings I used for that where : Sorenson spark codec, frame rate same as source (29.xx), keyframe placement automatic, quality, custom, 1000 kilobits per sec, no video resize, audio mp3, 128kbs stereo.

[Flashcoders] using AS to set the height and width of a new browser window
myButton.onPress = function () {
getURL("html/myHTMLpg.htm", "_blank");
}
along with a event handler just attached to the button instance directly:
on (release) {
getURL("html/myHTMLpg.htm", "_blank");
}
do you know of a way using actionscript (setting properties) where you can
specify the height
and width of the new browser window along with the positioning on the
screen. i have not been
able to find any reference for this.
in my html site i just use a javascript function to open a new window where
i can set the size,
position and scrolling properties which is then called by the ahref to open
up in this specific
sized and positioned window.
i tried messing with html but i did it wrong.
