Re: [Flashcoders] Subversion Client on Mac?

[Flashcoders] Iterate over all movieclips in a timeline
Hello. I feel a bit boneheaded asking this... is there any way of iterating over all movie clips in a timeline? At the moment, I just have a hard coded array that contains references to the clips I need. This isn't a big problem, but that just means one more thing to edit each time I add or remove clips. (and I'd have to name them as well).

Re: [Flashcoders] Iterate over all movieclips in a timeline
Ah, thanks, that's exactly what I needed.
Current frame only is fine, as it's only going to do some initialisation
at frame 1 anyway.

[Flashcoders] setSelection() with TextInput?
Hi all.
I've been beating my head against the wall for a bit, trying to get
Selection.setSelection() to work inside a component.
I've got this code, inside a component which happens to contain a TextInput:
private function focusIn(){
trace(answer_ti.text + ] received focus);
answer_ti.setFocus();
Selection.setSelection(0, answer_ti.text.length);
}
Which gets runs when answer_ti fires a focusIn event. This just doesn't
seem to work... the trace statement comes up, but I can't see the
selection change.
Is there anything I've overlooked? I tried to use Delegate for event
handling, but it didn't make a difference.
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] setSelection() with TextInput?
Aha! That gives me an idea... I might try using doLater(), a method
available to components and see if that works.
Thanks for the tip.

Hi Haikal,
I've just been doing exactly the same thing for the past day - beating
my head against the wall for this same reason. I am not working with
any components, but trying to use setSelection within a class to
select text in a text field nested within a movieClip - and getting
the same non-result. Infuriating.
So, what I finally came up with that is a lame hack but seems to work
is using a setInterval to call setSelection a tenth of a second
later. So basically it's this:
class myClass
{
... (var declarations, constructor, etc.) ...
private function onMouseUp ():Void
{
clearInterval(selectionRunner);
selectionRunner = setInterval(this, selectString, 10);
}
private function selectString ()
{
clearInterval(selectionRunner);
Selection.setFocus(myField_txt);
Selection.setSelection(0, myField_txt.text.length);
}
... (mode methods, etc.) ...
}
If anyone else has a better solution (or even better, an explanation
why this problem occurs in the first place) I'd love to hear it.

Hi all The earliest document I could find about coding conventions for flash and actionscript are from flash 5. Has anyone written up a guide for use AS2/3?

Re: [Flashcoders] PRINTJOB HELL, PRINTJOB NIGHTMARE with several PAGES
My approach to printing oodles of multiline text is to let the browser do it: * When the print button is pressed, save the contents of the text field to a Local Shared Object * Open up an empty HTML page, which has as invisible flash movie which can then: o Read that shared object. o Pass the data that needs to be printed to a JS function which... o ...uses DOM to inject that data onto the page. Simple, and quite elegant, if I say so my self. I've done this before for arrays of objects, and it has worked a treat. The Flash/Javascript bridge comes in handy here as well.

[Flashcoders] Live Preview and Laying out Components
Doing a little looking about Flash Components, and I've made some skinnable components. Now, in the default instance, they're quite boring, the idea being that you associate them with various movie clip instances in the Library to customise the look of these components. (I.e, each instance on the stage will look different) This is all well and good, but I've hit a bit of a problem when it comes to actually laying these out on the stage; Now, according to http://www.flashsim.com/newsletter/v2n3.html, compiling these clips will give me a live preview, however, the live preview will not actually reflect the state of these components. This makes it pretty useless to me, as far as being an aid to laying them out on the stage goes. Any suggestions on what to do?

Re: [Flashcoders] diff between var == value VS var eq value
Yes, they are different.r Actionscript dictionary says 'eq' is deprecated. It just compares string representations, so what you might be doing is comparing a number to it's string representation (User input, perhaps?): http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary198.html What == does depends on what sort of data you're comparing. Again, from the dictionary: The definition of equal depends on the data type of the parameter: Numbers and Boolean values are compared by value, and are considered equal if they have the same value. String expressions are equal if they have the same number of characters and the characters are identical. Variables, objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference. Two variables are equal if they refer to the same object, array, or function. Two separate arrays are never considered equal, even if they have the same number of elements. dnk wrote: Is there a difference?

Re: [Flashcoders] trivial or mysterious problem with component?
Hmm.
V2 components are meant to have empty constructors, with initialisation
being performed in an init() method, which will be called by the
component architecture when the time is right.
Try moving your code in your constructer to init();

[Flashcoders] Architechting a drag and drop component.
Hi folks. I've been thinking about developing a drag/drop label/drop zone component, that works in a similar way to the ones that come with Flash's quiz template. The way the flash one is laid out is: * Drag and Drop Activity Component o 8 Different drop label/zone pairs. These pairs seem to be 8 separate components themselves, rather than 8 instances of the same component. The reason for this seems to be that then, the programatically challenged can then just break them apart and draw away to their hearts content. Now, I'd like to develop a drag/drop pair that will also let aforementioned programatically challenged customise them, but without having the restriction of n predefined components that will do the same thing. Has anyone done anything like this before? I was hoping to make a component, of which they can drop any amount on to the stage, and customised as they wish. The idea I had was to use Linkages in the library, in a similar manner to specifying the skin for any other object. That way, they can have different movie clips for the initial and solved states, and another one that specifies the 'hit area'. Even better: Is it possible to write a custom properties panel that can browse the library? Any hints? -- Haikal Saadh Applications Programmer ICT Resources, TALSS QUT Kelvin Grove ___ 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
Re: [Flashcoders] Weird getURL behavior
While I've not run into these problems, I have had good experience with

Takes only a few lines of code to get it running, and the best part is
you don't have to worry about quote matching in those getURL() calls.

I think it stopped woking after a Windows update, but cant nail it down.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Weird getURL behavior
I'm going crazy with this. Hopefully, I'm just missing something stupid.
Weird getURL behavior in my Flash 8 player. Is there any reason why a Flash
file here:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/myFlashFile.swf
Would not be able to link to this:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc
Same domain, same folder! Ah, this is so freaking aggravating. It was
working fine just a week ago. We did recently move the flash file and the
linked-to doc to a new server... is there something about a URL that doesn't
have www.mypage.com in it? I didn't think so... so anyway I am just using:
getURL(EARS_L3_Interview.doc, _blank);
or, I also tried the absolute path:
getURL(http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc;,
_blank);
(note, don't try that paths above, it's on an intranet site and will fail
for you)
it does pop up a new window, but the window says,
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.
HOWEVER, the file IS there and available: if I put the path to the browser
address bar directly, it works fine!!! What's up with that?
Why would getURL only fail in Flash? My worst fear is there is some
security thing on the server the admins changed which is blocking my access
from Flash. Ideas?

The contents, which is a symbol instance that has been assigned a Linkage identifier, is then plugged into the scrollpane. I haven't created a masking layer over the scrollpane, as I have read that scrollpane is supposed to do it's own masking. The scrollpane and it's contents are loaded and working; it shows up, and you can drag the sliders around and everything. It's just that I can still see the stuff that has scrolled out of the ScrollPane. Steven Sacks | BLITZ wrote: How is your movie built? Is the scrollpane component in a loaded in swf?

[Flashcoders] Scrollpane and masking
Hi all.
Having some problems with the v2 scrollpane.
I'm trying to pick up where this post:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2005-January/128299.html
leaves off.
Basically, the content 'outside' my scroll pane is not being masked off,
and by reading the post above, I've got this bit of code:
private function createChildren():Void {
viewport = ScrollPane(createObject(ScrollPane,viewport,
depth++));
viewport.contentPath = TimeLineBackground;
viewport.addEventListener(complete, this);
viewport.move(0,0);
timeLineBG = viewport.content;
timeLineBG._width = 600;
viewport.doLater(this,forceScrollPaneRefresh);
viewport.addEventListener(scroll, this);
}
private function forceScrollPaneRefresh(){
viewport.invalidate();
viewport.redraw(true);
trace (viewPort redrawn);
}
private function scroll(){
viewport.doLater(this,forceScrollPaneRefresh);
trace(scrolled);
}
This is all within a component that extends UIComponent. I can see the
events are getting fired and handled from the traces. Am I
misunderstanding what I'm supposed to do?
Thanks./

[Flashcoders] Custom Components getting squashed?
Hi folks. I apologise in advance if this is a FAQ, but looking at the FlashCoders Wiki and the mailing list archives yielded no satisfactory answers, so I'll take a stab. I have made a custom component, based to the 'Dial' example from the MM Docs, and the problem is, when I test the movie, the components appear to be squashed. Screenshot: http://haikal.freeshell.org/stuff/sqashed_components.png If you look at the stage, and the library, you'll see that the component has the correct dimensions, but when I test the movie, it's not only smaller, but skinnier as well. Aside from that, the component works just fine.
