[Flashcoders] Re: OTish MP3 files for a piano scale
I have also made a piano keyboard years ago and had the same problem.

[Flashcoders] Re: Re: Producing a random list with no repeats
Thanks to all the suggestions re my random list problem. Particular thanks to
Gerry Beauregard for this suggestion:
It's probably best just to create an Array or Vector containing numbers 1 to
40. (Vectors are only available in AS3, not sure about Array). Shuffle the
array, then choose the first 10 elements..
The following method of shuffling an array works fine in AS2:
var numArray:Array = new Array();
numArray =
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40];
shuffle(numArray);
function shuffle(arr:Array) {
var i:Number;
for (i in arr) {
var tmp = arr[i];
var rNr:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*arr.length);
arr[i] = arr[rNr];
arr[rNr] = tmp;
}

[Flashcoders] Producing a random list with no repeats
I am working in ActionScript 2. I want to create a quiz in which 10 questions
are randomly selected from a block of 40 questions. I found the following code,
but I can't work out how to stop it doubling up the questions.
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
}
for (var i = 0; i 10; i++) {
var n:Number = randRange(1, 40)
trace(n);
}
When I run this it outputs a list of numbers like 40 13 17 12 27 12 3 17
9 15 which means some questions (in this case 17 and 12) will appear twice in
my quiz.
Bearing in mind that I am a bit of an ActionScript dummy, can anybody suggest a
way to modify the above script to prevent the same number being generated more
than once.

[Flashcoders] Filter rendering error warning
I have a Print button in my SWF that prints a defined area off to the right of the stage. There are a few small objects on the stage with drop shadows at that point, but no filters on the objects in the print area which is just a background and some static and dynamic text fields. When I test my SWF and click the Print button the output window tells me Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (6928, 4637) are too large to be drawn. The stage itself is 820 x 545, and the entire area I am using (from the top left of the stage to the bottom right of the print area) is 1516 x 660, so I don't get where 6928 x 4637 is coming from. Is this maybe a glitch in Flash? Everything still seems to work okay for me, but I am worried that this error may cause the SWF to not work properly on some slower computers, or have some other unwanted effect for my clients. Has anybody seen this sort of thing before, and maybe has a solution to stop this filter rendering error from occurring? Alan Neilsen This message is for the named persons use only.

[Flashcoders] Re: AS2: blank input text field when clicked
Thanks to Glen Pike. The solution ended up being very simple. I blanked the
text in the input field using enterPage.onSetFocus as below, then added
Selection.setFocus(null); to all other controls on that screen so the text
field always gets its focus set when clicked.
enterPage.onSetFocus = function() {
enterPage.text = ;
go_btn._visible=true;
};
go_btn.onRelease = function() {
Selection.setFocus(null);
if (enterPage.text != ) {
if (enterPage.text=19) {
whichPage = int(enterPage.text);

[Flashcoders] AS2: blank input text field when clicked
I am working in AS2. I have an input text field I am using with an AS2 flipbook
component so users can type a page number then go to that page in the flipbook.
I want to make it so when the text field is clicked, any existing text is
removed and focus set so the user is then ready to type a page number (then
click a 'GO' button to go to that page). Flash won't let me apply code to the
text field, so I thought I could code it so if that area of the stage is
clicked it will do what I want. This is really basic coding with no classes,
external scripts, etc.; so if anybody has a really basic solution I would be
extremely grateful. This should be the sort of thing people use all the time
(an input text field that is cleared when clicked), so I assume I am not the
first to try and do this.
I thought the following might work, but Flash tells me, The class or interface
'MouseEvent' could not be loaded. So maybe I have left something out, or I am
mixing up my AS2 with AS3, or I am just approaching this all wrong.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, blankText);
function blankText(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseX = 370) {
if (mouseX = 430) {
If (mouseY = 50) {
if (mouseY = 72) {
enterPage.text = ;
}
}
}
}

[Flashcoders] AS2 SWFs with pageFlipper component
I have 12 x AS2 SWFs (build in CS4 Pro) that each use a purchased flipbook component called pageFlipper. These SWFs are AS2 because this component doesn't work in AS3. The 12 SWF using this component are loaded at various places into a main interface that is AS3, also built in CS4 Pro. When I run the interface and go to a screen where one of the AS2 SWFs is loaded it works fine, but when I go to any of the other screens where another of the AS2 SWFs is loaded, the flipbook does not appear. It does not matter which order I try this; whichever of the 12 AS2 SWFs that loads first is the only one that works. In each case the loaded AS2 SWF is removed from the main program with loader_clip.removeChild(ldr) when I navigate away from the screen where it was loadd. It seems to me that I also need to do something to remove the component as well so it will work again when a subsequent SWF using it is loaded. Can anyone shed any light on why it only works on the first SWF loaded, and what I might do to make it work when subsequent SWFs are loaded?

[Flashcoders] Why is my HTML file so huge
Hi List I don't recall changing any publish settings for my HTML file, but when I publish my SWF its HTML file ends up 2,582 KB instead of the expected 10 or 12 KB. When I open the HTML file I find it is the same as earlier back-up versions that were 10 KB, but for some reason when these later versions get to, !--text used in the movie-- they now list all the text in the SWF many, many, many times with lines like: p align=leftfont face=Futura LtCn BT size=16 color=#ff letterSpacing=0.00 kerning=1General data about timber framing products to go here./font/p The HTML code then goes on like that for more than 14,000 lines with, as I said, many repetitions of all the text used in the SWF. I have seen this sort of thing before, but have no idea what is causing it. Can anybody shed light on this for me? Alan Neilsen This message is for the named persons use only.

[Flashcoders] Enter key to activate focused button
I have set up a custom Tab order, so the Tab key moves through the interactive elements (buttons) of my SWF in the order I want. I then want the Enter key to execute the code for whichever button has focus (as if that button was clicked). I can't work out how to add a listener that listens for the Enter key to be pressed and then execute the code the button (as suggested by Karl: thanks). Can anybody provide a code snippet for this? I have tried to find a solution in the online help system for Flash, but that system is sadly lacking. For instance, if I select This Help system only and do a search for addEventListener I get no results - which seems ludicrous to me. How is it possible that the term addEventListener does not exist anywhere in the Flash Help system? Alan Neilsen This message is for the named persons use only.

[Flashcoders] Why doesn't Enter key work on focused button?
I found the following code (in a forum) which makes my Tab order work the way I
want, but I thought when a button had focus (yellow box around it and showing
rollover state), the Enter key would then execute the code on that button (as
if it were clicked), but this does not happen. The Enter key just makes the
button flicker. Do I need to add more code here (or change something) to make
the Enter key work like I want?

something like that

}
But when I trace (loader_clip.child) it comes back undefined whether the

What can I use to test this so loader_clip.removeChild(ldr); doesn't produce an

[Flashcoders] Getting hypertext to work
When I use 'Options' in 'Properties' to apply a link to text in my Flash movie (CS4), it works okay when I test the movie, but when I create the SWF and try the same thing, it tells me, Adobe Flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. This seems strange, because hypertext created in Dreamweaver does not generate a potentially unsafe warning, so why should it happen in Flash? There is no point me changing my Flash Player settings (as advised by the warning) because it still won't work for my client's end users (who are generally computer-illiterate, and cannot be expected to understand about changing Flash Player settings).

Does Flash CS4 run very slowly for everyone, or might there be something wrong with my installation? Just about anything I do takes ages to happen. For instance, if I open Properties to type in an Instance Name, when I click somewhere else after that it takes 4 or 5 seconds before I can do anything - it just locks up for those seconds. 4 or 5 seconds does not sound much, but when it happens again and again and again day after day it really slows my work down.

[Flashcoders] Re: Re: Passing text between SWFs
Thanks dr.ache
I still can't get this to work. Whatever is wrong, it doesn't like the line
public function completeHandler(event:Event) {.
I get Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event
I tried adding import flash.events.Event, but then I get several various
errors.
Currently my faulty code to load child objects and use contentLoaderInfo
looks like:
package {
// Import stuff
import flash.events.addEventListener;
import flash.events.Event
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Graphics;
public class rte2124buserName {
var rect1:Shape = new Shape();
rect1.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
rect1.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1966, 660);
addChild(rect1);
var ldr1:Loader = new Loader();
ldr1.mask = rect;
var url1:String = topics/rte2124b_topic1.swf;
var urlReq1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url1);
ldr1.load(urlReq1);
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler1);
var rect2:Shape = new Shape();
rect2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
rect2.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1966, 660);
addChild(rect2);
var ldr2:Loader = new Loader();
ldr2.mask = rect2;
var url2:String = topics/rte2124b_topic2.swf;
var urlReq2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url2);
ldr2.load(urlReq2);
ldr2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler2);
// Call up topics from topics folder.
public function completeHandler1(event:Event) {
MovieClip(event.currentTarget)._parent = this;
trace(_parent.ldr1);
}
public function completeHandler2(event:Event) {
MovieClip(event.currentTarget)._parent = this;
trace(_parent.ldr2);
}
}
}
All I want to do is to pass user input (user name) from a parent SWF to a child
SWF. Could somebody please tell me all the code I need and where the code goes
to do this. I am sorry that I can't work this out, and to be honest, Flash help
is less than useless unless you have been doing OO programming for years. It
does not contain decent examples of everything one needs to do to get stuff to
work.
Cheers
Alan
Hi Alan.
In the same class / at the same position where you load your child
movieclip.
One line below your loadClip method call.

[Flashcoders] Passing text between SWFs
Can somebody please help a dummy. I am trying to pass user input text (user's
name) from a parent SWF to a child SWF. Poste9 has told me I can use:
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);
public function completeHandler(event:Event) {
MovieClip(event.currentTarget)._parent = this;
}
Thanks Poste9, but I don't know where/how to use that. I assume I need to put
this code in a package (that's what the Flash help tells me), but I am not sure
how to do that and how to refer to the package. Can somebody please explain the
steps I need to follow to pass user input text from one SWF to another.

[Flashcoders] Accessing text between SWFs
I have a SWF (rte2124b_birthing-duties.swf) in which the user enters their name in an input text field. This SWF then calls in another SWF as follows: import flash.display.*; import flash.net.URLRequest; var rect1:Shape = new Shape(); rect1.graphics.beginFill(0xFF); rect1.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1966, 660); //this covers the print-out area as well addChild(rect1); var ldr1:Loader = new Loader(); ldr1.mask = rect1; var url1:String = topics/rte2124b_topic1.swf; var urlReq1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url1); ldr1.load(urlReq1); addChild(ldr1); Is there a way I can get the text entered in the first SWF (e.g. Fred Smith) to be accessible by the second SWF (rte2124b_topic1.swf)? I want the print-outs from the second SWF to start with This activity was completed by User Name (e.g. Fred Smith). Alan Neilsen This message is for the named persons use only.

[Flashcoders] Making dynamic text look the same as static text
I have found that when I call text into a dynamic text field from a variable, it does not look the same as the text in a static text field set with the same font, size, etc. The text in the dynamic text field appears with no anti-alias, emboldening or italics, even though I have set those properties for that dynamic text field. Can anyone advise how I make those properties work for a dynamic text field?

[Flashcoders] Re: Re: huge html file (Glen Pike)
Thanks for that, Glen. I still can't work out what is going on. I looked up HTML templates but it does not explain how to fix the problem. I have tried publishing on another computer, and it worked fine. However, when I publish on my computer I still get an enormous HTML file full of 120 entries for every bit of text in the movie. I compared both, and even though the publish setting and HTML template files are exactly the same on both computers, the HTML file that writes properly contains the lines: !--text used in the movie-- !-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -- While the other huge HTML file ends up with hundreds of lines of p/p code between these two line. Can anybody tell me how to stop this from happening?

[Flashcoders] Adding n days to dateField.selectedDate
I am building a cattle birthing calculator. Can anyone help me with the code to add a certain number of days (usually around 283) to the output of a dateField.selectedDate (breeding date) so the result can be put into a string and output to a text field such as, The estimated birthing date is 7/7/2008. Currently my output can show spurious dates like the 13/33/2008, and I assume there is an easy way of adding days and ending up with a real date. This message is for the named persons use only.
