RE: [Flashcoders] Random Error
Hi,
Which version of Flash are you using? I tried this on Flash CS3 and it
worked out seamlessly.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.system.Capabilities;
public class Test extends Sprite {
public function Test() {
}
public static function getInfo() {
return(Capabilities.version);
}
}
}
.fla
trace(Test.getInfo());
Cheers,
Petro

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 addchild question
Hi,
Not sure what you are after, but you might try something like this:
import flash.display.*;
var lista:Array = new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16);
for (i = 0; i < lista.length; i++) {
var vSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
vSprite.graphics.lineStyle();
vSprite.graphics.beginFill(0xAABBCC);
vSprite.graphics.drawRect(10, 10, 10, 10);
vSprite.graphics.endFill();
vSprite.x = lista[i] * 30;
addChild(vSprite);
}
Hope that helps,
Petro

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 Alpha Preview TextInput Weirdness
Hi,
Though it's way too late to post this kind of message since Flash CS3 is
pretty much out but anyways. Try to initialize this chunk of code in the
alpha preview:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.TextInput;
public class Test extends Sprite {
public function Test() {
var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
}
}
}
You'll likely get this:
**Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 9, Column 19 : [Compiler] Error
#1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TextInput.
var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
**Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 9, Column 35 : [Compiler] Error
#1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextInput.
var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
**Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 4, Column 21 : [Compiler] Error
#1172: Definition mx.controls:TextInput could not be found.
import mx.controls.TextInput;
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable
Timeline0_d5d529a7787d74f90f259f8632b8b7 is not defined.
Flex 2 compiles this with no troubles. It turns out that for some
unknown reason the alpha release can't read the mx.controls.* package.
Cheers,
Petro

Hi ilteris,
Hmm, this looks fairly weird, though there is a workaround: if by chance
you set the fill of a Sprite to be 0xFF (totally white) and want to
apply a new colour, instead of playing with offsets and multipliers, use
the .color property. Something like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
public class ColorTransforma extends Sprite {
var _sprite:Sprite;
var color:ColorTransform;
public function ColorTransforma() {
_sprite = new Sprite();
_sprite.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF);
_sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
_sprite.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
_sprite.graphics.endFill( );
addChild(_sprite);
_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onMouseDown);
color = _sprite.transform.colorTransform;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
public function changeColor() {
color.color = 0xAABBCC;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
changeColor();
trace("yay");
}
}
}
Cheers,
Petro

Hi ilteris,
Not completely sure what you want to do but assuming you want to change
the colour of the sprite upon mouse click you'd have to set the offsets
to something greater than zero. Say you want to change the colour of the
shape to blue, than your code would look something like below (mind the
value of the .blueOffset property):
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
public class ColorTransforma extends Sprite {
var _sprite:Sprite;
var color:ColorTransform;
public function ColorTransforma() {
_sprite = new Sprite();
_sprite.graphics.lineStyle( );
_sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xAABBCC);
_sprite.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
_sprite.graphics.endFill( );
addChild(_sprite);
_sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onMouseDown);
color = _sprite.transform.colorTransform;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
public function changeColor() {
color.redOffset = 0;
color.greenOffset = 0;
color.blueOffset = 255;
_sprite.transform.colorTransform = color;
}
private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
changeColor();
trace("yay");
}
}
}
Cheers,
Petro

Do additional addChild(hw) in your .fla file. Also, the

Hi Keith,
Little question: what r u working under: Flash 9 Beta or Flex 2? I
wonder your code even compiled. Move this line:
protected var labelClass:String = "default";
inside your class definition. It's outside the scope of the class. I
tried it out, worked fine for me.
Cheers,
Petro

Hi James,
This is not the pure example code from the project but this kind of
resembles the idea.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
public class addChildIssue extends Sprite
{
public function addChildIssue()
{
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
onTimer);
timer.start();
var uploader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
url.url =
"http://www.venturaes.com/macromedia/images/studio8_box.jpg";;
uploader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onResult);
uploader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
onFault);
uploader.load(url);
}
private function onResult(anEvent:Event):void
{
var bitmap:Bitmap =
Bitmap(anEvent.target.content);
bitmap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onDrag);
bitmap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
onDrop);
addChild(bitmap);
}
private function onFault(anEvent:Event):void
{
}
private function onDrag(anEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
anEvent.target.startDrag();
}
private function onDrop(anEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
anEvent.target.stopDrag();
}
private function onTimer(anEvent:TimerEvent):void
{
var uploader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest();

}
}

Copy and past it into Flex, should work. I even now face the problem of
not being able to move any image at all. This works fine with shapes,
but bitmaps fail.
Thanks,

[Flashcoders] AS3.0 - add separate objects to stage
Hi, Whenever I issue a command "addChild(bitmap)" the new image is being merged with the existing one. How do I make sure the new image is added as a separate display object? This is true for both, bitmap & shape data. I think this has something to do with the BitmapData class.
