Re: [Flashcoders] swapping depths and disappearing clips
I think the primary problem is that you are retrieving the next highest
depth value from a timeline OTHER than the one where the swapDepths is
being performed. Getting the depth value from "this" (which is the
timeline of the button/clip, itself, but swapping the depth of the
button/clip, which takes place in the timeline of the parent of the
button/clip.

RE: [Flashcoders] Color.setRGB - no such method?
I have neither Flex nor Flash Player 9 -- I suspect your conclusion is correct. Wild hair (is Flash 9 player beta?): might want to see if it's a case issue, and use a different name for the color object (i.e., Flash 6 player would also reject "color" for use as an object name, as it was not case sensitive and "color" was a reserved word). -- Byron "Barn" Canfield > Barn - > > Thanks for testing the code.

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
I was able to get it to work by deleting the m1 button event handler
function, however, the button event handler for m2 cannot be executed
before m2 actually exists, and since it comes into existence on frame 20
of m1, the button event handler function must also be run on frame 20 of
m1.

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
All my code does is terminate the interception of the button event by the
first button. It does not address other code errors.
As was asked before, where is the code for the second button? Is it on
frame twenty of the m1 movieclip? And, if so, has the button instantiated
by the time the button event handler function is created?

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue
Not sure if anyone has responded yet -- my thread sorting is all screwed up.
You cannot delete or terminate an onClipEvent(enterFrame) unless you
delete the movieclp to which you have applied it, either by terminating
it's existence on the timeline with an empty keyframe, or by swapping it
to a "dynamic" depth (zero or above) and using removeMovieClip().
An onClipEvent(enterFrame) is not synonymous with an onEnterFrame() function.

Re: [Flashcoders] The almighty duplicateMovieClip?
Well, no, to the first statement. There IS an answer, and the answer is...
That is correct; that cannot be done. Duplicates are always generated in
the same timeline as the original from which the duplicate is made.
To assign a movieclip to a specific timeline, use attachMovie() attaching
a library object movieclip to which you have applied a linkage.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue?
Part of the problem is that your onEnterFrame is getting stomped on by the
reinstantiation of the target movieclip when the SWF actually begins to
load. That effectively (quite) deletes the onEnterFrame. Either attach the
onEnterFrame to some other timeline, or load the movie into some other
timeline, perhaps a child movieclip.

Re: [Flashcoders] random concatenated txt question
I don't see anything there in that code that limits the string length to
19, nor anything to reset the string to a null value upon reaching the 19.
It just keeps on concatenating onto the end of the string, but you can't
see it because of the limited size of the textfield.
Try putting a trace in your onEnterFrame() and you'll see what I mean:
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
myTxt_txt.text = random2();
trace("myTxt_txt.text: "+myTxt_txt.text.length)
};
That said, it seems to me that you're really going about this the hard
way. Each of those single-letter strings is possible to represent with a
numeric ascii value, such that there is no need for the array -- just
convert the chosen numeric value to a character at the time it is
concatenated.

Re: [Flashcoders] oop question?
The important thing to remember (just learned this Monday, from Aral's
workshop at Flash Forward) is that "#include" actually inserts the content
of an external .as file in the position where the include statement is
issued, whereas "import" does not insert, load, or import anything -- all
it does is say, "there is a class file that the script may or may not be
looking for in this location and by this filename", which is required only
when the class file does not exist in the same location as the FLA being
compiled (the compiler will automagically look in the current directory).

Re: [Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
You can make it a lot easier by doing some of the prep work for that
architecture in the for loop that you use to first create and assign
depths to those movieclips.
This isn't exactly OOP, but it demonstrates the architecture:
var qtyClips:Number = 4;
var nbrDepthOffset:Number = 7;
var rraClips:Array = new Array();
var nbrLastPressed:Number;
//
function fncClipInit() {
for (var i = 0; i Does anyone have a an algorithm for Z sorting multiple overlapping

Re: [Flashcoders] Navigating between labels? Scripting help:
How about just a single function (ala LOTR -- "one ring to rule them all")
and just pass it a 1 or -1 to indicate the direction?
/* Initialize index: */
var index:Number = 0;
/* Declare var frames as an array and populatec with frame labels: */
var frames:Array = ["scene1", "scene2", "scene3"];
/* Get length of array: */
var max:Number = frames.length;
//
/* Attach function to forward button: */
_root.forward.onRelease = function() {
frameChange(+1);
};
//
/* Attach function to backward button: */
_root.backward.onRelease = function() {
frameChange(-1);
};
//
frameChange = function (nbrDir) {
index = (index+nbrDir+max)%max;
trace(frames[index]);
gotoAndPlay(frames[index]);
};
Also, I notice that one of your comments describes these as "scene
labels", but note that scene labels can only be targeted from the _root of
the level AND you cannot use variable references (including arrays) for
scene label designations -- must be actual string literal: the actual
scene name surrounded with quote marks. For the above to work, those must
be frame labels, not scene labels.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloading multiple swfs with moviecliploader
Well, presuming you're speaking of on-line delivery, you're kind of at the mercy of the browser on that one, as most browsers have a physicial limit of 4 simultaneous connections (download streams), though I think some versions on the Mac allow up to 7, such that any quantity of files greater than that will simply have to wait their turns. The problem therein is that the sum of all file sizes is not known until the last file has loaded enough that the byte values can be retrieved, so that means that some files have to load in their entirety before the sizes of others are even known. One way around that is to use a server-side script to feed the filesizes of all files to be loaded to Flash in advance of the first file load, such that the progress bar can be "constructed", in advance, to measure the progress properly. But then again, if you do that, there's really no need to load files quasi-simultaneously -- you can then simply load sequentially. -- Byron "Barn" Canfield > Has anyone been able to preload multiple swfs concurrently and keep > track of progress globally rather than for individual files? > > We can do it sequentially, but that ain't pretty for the user when they > have to endure 12 serial progress bars. > > TIA, > > Randy Tinfow > IMAGE PLANT ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
