Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] stop caching
If you are loading the swf directly from the file system (that is, localy)
appending parameters to the querystring won't work because they'll be
considered part of the file name. So those parameters will not be
interpreted as such. In a http environment (i.e. a server, local or remote),
on the other hand, the querystring will not be considered part of the file
name.
So yes, it's a local / server issue.

I am trying to prevent caching via:
function startLoad(dfile:String)
{
var ran:int = Math.round(Math.random()*10);
var dfileb:String = new String();
dfileb = dfile+?ran=+ran;
var mRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(dfileb);
}
startLoad(moive.swf);
but I get an error 2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:text=Error #2035: URL Not

You could add a new Date variable at the end of your swf like:

var nc:String = ?nocache= + d.getTime();

addChild(scrollBar);
*//check if it is required if so show it,put this function right after

*function updateScrollBar():void{

Subject: accessing variable
I am accessing a mc via:
for () {
parentName.getChildAt(j);
}
I would like to read a variable in this mc, like:
parentName.getChildAt(j).variableName;
but it does not work - how would I go about that?

[Flashcoders] Resizing
So I have a sprite that is holding a map and some mc's overlaying the map I am trying to resize the sprite (and thus everthing in it...)

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Zooming
If you're a Club GreenSock member, the transformAroundPoint can make this
pretty simple to integrate into a tween. For example:
var center:Point = new Point(275, 200);
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {transformAroundPoint:{point:center, scaleX:3,
scaleY:3}});
That would scale mc's scaleX/scaleY to 3 and use the center point as
though it's where your object's registration point is. You can affect
rotation too if you want. There's an interactive example of
transformAroundPoint in the Plugin Explorer at http://www.TweenLite.com
Alternatively, you could wrap your object in a Sprite and offset its
position internally so that the Sprite's registration point is where things
should scale from on your image, and then tween the scaleX/scaleY of the
Sprite. Or do the math to figure out where your image's registration point
would end up after scaling it from wherever the focal point is and tween the
x/y/scaleX/scaleY together.
Or use the camera suggestions others have offered.
Sorry, hope that didn't overwhelm you with options :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Saving MC as image
Thanks - that is doing the trick... One issue: I am doing: var file:FileReference = new FileReference(); var jpgSrc:BitmapData = new MitmapData(mc.width, mc.height); jpgSrc.draw(mc); var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(85); var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource); file.save(jpgStream, 'test.jpg'); The issue I am having is that the mc is not lining up with the image... the image seems to be capturing the stage at 0,0 which is only getting like the top right of the mc anyway to line the mc up with the jpg?

[Flashcoders] drag issues
I have a mc that has other mc in it... this mc is hard coded on the stage... in
the as I have:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.target.startDrag();
}
The problem arises that instead of dragging the mc as a whole - it drags each
mc in the main mc separately... I just want the whole thing to drag as one -
instead it get pulled apart and each mc inside drags on its own any ideas?

[Flashcoders] removingChildAt
First - let me say that this code may be totally screwed up... that is a
possibility!
What I am trying to do is remove child mcs and load a new one. My code is:
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event)
{
var pChildren:int = new int(parent.parent.numChildren);
parent.parent.addChild(e.currentTarget.content);
var foundMC:int=0;
for (var j:int=0; jpChildren; j++)
{
if (foundNav==0)
{
if (parent.parent.getChildAt(0).name != navName) {
parent.parent.removeChildAt(0);
} else {
foundNav = 1;
}
} else {
parent.parent.removeChildAt(1);
}
}
if (foundNav==1) {
parent.parent.removeChildAt(0);
}
}
}
The intent of this to remove all of the mcs on the stage (except for the one
that is added at the beginning of the function - making sure that the last one
removed (navName) is the one that is firing this code
Doing some tracing, I am seeing that it is failing like half way through the
removal - say if I have 8 mcs on the stage at the beginning - it goes up to 9
when I add the new one then about half way through - at this line:
parent.parent.removeChildAt(0); I am getting Error #2006: The supplied index
is out of bounds I would think there would be a child at 0 if there were still
children in existence...
any thoughts?

It's possible that because the content property is the root class of the
loaded swf that you have to set the name property of your document class.
parent.swf
Loader.load(child.swf)
child.swf
this.name = MyName;
Maybe that is what you need to do. I'm going to run a test to find out

I want to be able to name the swf that gets loaded... right now it is just
getting a random name like: instance77
How can I name it?

[Flashcoders] RE: Passing Var value to loaded swf
I am finding this solution everywhere:
Calling Parent Variables and Functions from a Loaded
SWFhttp://mattmaxwellas3.blogspot.com/2008/10/accessing-variables-and-functions-from.html
Let's say I have one SWF (child.swf) that I want to load into another SWF
(parent.swf), then I want to call a function that is in parent.swf from the
child.swf. In AS2 you could just do _parent._parent as many times as needed to
reach up the tree to get to the parent's top level. In AS3 you need to use this
code below instead. Put it inside the child.swf. I have no idea what this line
of code means, but is magic:
MovieClip(parent.parent).ParentFunction();
...then this sample code goes inside the parent.swf on its main timeline:
//this sample code loads the external SWF into the Parent SWF
var indexSwfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(index.swf);
var indexSwfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
indexSwfLoader.load(indexSwfRequest);
addChild(indexSwfLoader);
//This is the parent function that can be called from the command that is
inside the child.swf
function ParentFunction():void{
trace(It worked!);
}
But for some reason I can not get that to work... I get: Error #1009: Cannot
access a property or method of a null object

You tween objects got garbage collected.
I was bit very hard by that one in a kiosk touch screen that needed to have

function doYourFunction (evt:TweenEvent):void

eligible for garbage collection when the function is complete.
YES:

Loads a .swf 2. creates a tween like: var mouseToTween:Tween = new Tween (mc,x,Strong.easeOut,mc.x.-159,3,true); The weird thing is that sometimes the tween just stops (sometimes it doe complete) and it seems to be tied to the swf getting loaded - as soon as the swf loads - the tween will stop where ever it might be... sometimes, though, it does work... just bugg or am i doing something wrong? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
