Ah yes. I missed that part.
How about this moderately less simple one using Kenneth's suggestion?
function swapCharAt(s:String, index:Number, char:String ):String{
var ptrn:RegExp = new RegExp((.{+index+}).(.*));
return( (s).replace(ptrn, $1+char+$2) );
}
trace( swapCharAt(Flash, 2, e) );

RE: [Flashcoders] ReferenceError: Error #1065 issue
Thanks Mario!
I actually found the solution to this. It was my own mistake, of course.
I've got a base level swf loading in a child swf which contains the super
class and subclass mentioned below. Turns out the loading swf also uses the
super class, and I hadn't recompiled it in the process. It was loading the
older version of the super class into memory first, so the updated
definition compiled into the child swf was not being used.
Thanks again for your response,
Bob

If you override that function like so, does it compile (to make sure the
override is correct) and do you see the trace (to make sure the call is
correct)?
override protected function mthGetPDataTag(stgInput:String) :String
{
trace('call worked')

[Flashcoders] What REALLY causes an IOError?
Hi all, I am trying to drill deeper into Flash player IOError handling in AS3, in order to distinguish different types of load failures when loading child swfs and data into a parent swf. For instance, I need to know, and react differently to, loads errors where the file is missing altogether vs. loads where severe network congestion mid-load interrupts a load after a part of the file has been received. Can anyone offer some deeper information on exactly what initial condition(s) triggers an IOError event? Is it time-based (no bytes loaded in N ms), a reaction to a server response, something else? I've been googling and reading through Adobe docs all morning and haven't seen anything deeper than the often repeated, but largely unhelpful Adobe line: FlashR Player dispatches an IOErrorEvent object when an error causes a send or load operation to fail. I'm looking for more depth than that. A definition of error and the criteria used to decide the load was a failure, for instance, would be a good start. Any info. or directions to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...
Hi Boyd,
Yes, you'll need to do import flash.system.Security; to use the
loadPolicyFile method.
Also, in your crossdomain.xml, you'll need to include
allow-access-from domain=www.boyd-speer.com/, or
allow-access-from domain=*.boyd-speer.com/
The way it is coded now will only allow the specific domain,
http://boyd-speer.com. Any differences to that (www, dev, etc.) will cause a
mismatch and the domain will not be allowed.

You can resolve that in a few ways: 1. have the swf you load in already be visible=false, pre-set in the external file. 2. load the swf off-stage coordinates and then move it to the stage only after you set visible=false 3. set the alpha of the loading clip to zero, load the child then set visible to false and restore the alpha as needed Hope this helps, maybe someone else has a better solution. anuj sharma wrote: I am sorry i forgot to mention i am using UILoader componenet for loading that external SWF , if you guys have any other container in mind for this purpose i would be happy to use that.

the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to
_summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your loop
undoubtedly runs faster than the loading process, what your imgLoadComplete
handler is actually doing is this,
_summaryElement[4].sumImg.addChild(ev.target.content). It wouldn't be
surprising if you looked at the contents of _summaryElement[4].sumImg and found
that all the images are added to its display list as each load completes.
I would either get rid of the persistent var and find a way to use an ID number
to link the loaded images and the containers, OR add this line to your
loadImage method, _mcName.addChild(imageLoader);, and forget the event listener
(at least for doing the addChild).
Hth,
Bob

RE: [Flashcoders] Button addEventListener is cancelled out by my Timerfunction.
Hi Vlado,
It looks like your button is probably on the timeline rather than make
instantiated with code. Make sure your button exists before you do the
addEventListener() on frame 25. Also, do you maybe have a key frame in the
button layer at frame 65? If so, each key frame creates a new instance of
the button and any properties of the new instance will have the default
values until you reset them. To avoid the problem you described, just remove
the key frames and give your button a continuous, uninterrupted layer for
the whole length of the time line that you need it.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Button addEventListener is cancelled out by my

Timeline problem:
As soon as my pauseTimeline function is called on frame 65, my button
infoONEbtn doesn't register on frame 65.
And after frame 65, my button doesn't work unless I call the
addEventlistener again on frame 66.
Is there a way around this??
I have this code on frame 10
function pauseTimeline(howLong:Number):void {
stop();
var t:Timer = new Timer (howLong, 1);
t.addEventListener(
TimerEvent.TIMER,
function(evt:TimerEvent):void {
play();
}
);
t.start();
}
then this code on frame 25
//infoONEbutton
infoONEbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, infoONESCENE);
function infoONESCENE(evt:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndPlay(infoONE);
}
this code on frame 65
pauseTimeline(3000);
Thankyou for bothering with my simple problems.

RE: [Flashcoders] RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out ofbounds.
Hi Anuj,
According to Flash Help files for getChildAt(), this error is generated by
getChildAt() when, RangeError - Throws if the index does not exist in the
child list. Either your aa variable is not evaluating correctly inside
the function or there is no child object at depth index 0 when the function
is called.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE:Flashcoders] Extending Array Question
You could also do: var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(); myArray.push(Hello, Goodbye, World); same result as doing them separately. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, that will work. So there is no definitive way to add the values all at once, i.e. [1,4,5,76,3] when extending an Array? Thanks again. Ian Thomasn wrote: Hi there (whoever you are!) Your problem is that the [1,2,3] initialiser syntax is actually a short cut for creating a new Array() object, not an ArrayExtension(). So you're replacing the object you just created with new(). What you need to do is to _modify_ your ArrayExtension() object, not replace it. If you try: var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(); myArray.push(Hello); myArray.push(Goodbye); myArray.push(World); That should sort your problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] LOADVARS not working IE
I had this same issue last month. Here's the advice I got (Thanks to
Mark Llobrera) on this board. It was right on target for me. Hope it
helps you too.
You may want to check this posting: http://www.blog.lessrain.com/?p=276. As I
understand it, if the server is returning no-cache headers for the data you're
trying to load it may fail in IE. I say may because I've only run into this
problem when loading XML data over SSL in IE, not a plain .txt file. Something
tells me your problem may be related, however.
Good luck

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem
You're defining the onRelease function before outside_btn.swf is loaded.
Wrap your onRelease definition in an onLoadComplete function to solve your
problem:

Your code is written correctly to get the result you described.
Is that not the result you were after?

[Flashcoders] SSL and Flash in IE6
Hello group, I've run searches in the archives, google and other groups and am unable to find a cause for this: I've built a very simple Flash MX (6) test swf file, uploaded it to an http server. Its only task is to load a small data file (.txt) from another server (same domain) through https, using a LoadVars, and display the data in a text field. When running the test, I'm also using a packet sniffer tool and can see that the data is retrieved back to my machine, but it is not getting to the Flash player. My test swf indicates that the data was not received. This happens in the Flash 6, 7, and 8 players, only in Internet Explorer. The data load works as expected in Netscape and Firefox, in all players. If I retrieve the data through unencripted http, the test works fine in IE also. It only fails in IE when the data is transfered via https. I've tweaked IE security and privacy settings. I've added https://; to the codebase and pluginspage params in the html. I've added secure='false' to the crossdomain.xml. I've submitted it to the Macromedia bug report site. Any insite would be greatly appreciated!
