Re: [Flashcoders] Extending buttons interface

[Janis Radins]

also you should know that using prototypes is bad practice
better create seperate class for button that needs that extra functionality

It works with SWF7, but not in SWF6, where ! myButton instanceof Button.

Re: [Flashcoders] sharing a class with several movieclips, in AS3

[Janis Radins]

Create simgle clas definition which holds functionality of your "selection
state" and add several instances of same class to stage

2007/3/11, Andrei Thomaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


hello list,

With AS2, I could associate the same class with several movieclips. This
was
useful, for example, to create buttons for a menu, when all the buttons
were
associated with the same class (some kind of button, that implemented the
'selected' state, rollout and rollover animations, and so on).

Now, I am trying to migrate the code to AS3, and I am having problems to
share the same class with more than one movieclip. When I try to do this,
I
get this error: "You must specify a unique classname to export this
symbol".

Can I make this, in some way? The only thing i can think is not very
elegant; it would be to create empty classes for each button, like that:

class MyButton extends MovieClip
{
// code here
}

class MyButton01 extends MyButton
{
// nothing
}

class MyButton02 extends MyButton
{
// nothing
}


thank you,
andrei

Re: [Flashcoders] Some AS3 components troubles

Thankyou all for replies.
Just tried to change source to ../icon.gif and no luck, shouldnt it output
an error message?
And btw, mx.controls.Image is extending SWFLoader, so there shouldnt be
issue with that.
And once again I'm clueless :)
Anyone have any idea what should I do?

ok - good info - I was having some problems with the image tag, so I

[Flashcoders] Some AS3 components troubles

[Janis Radins]

Hey people!

I'm trying to make some pretty simple UI component in Flex and it seems like
I'm missing something.
I think I've read everything I could but I cannt find what is it I'm
missing, maybe someone on this list knows wheres the problem.
So what I am doing is:
1. I create some pretty simple MXML project just for test with this content

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:myComp="components.*" layout="absolute">
   


Pretty simple.
xmlns:myComp="components.*" defines that components can be found in folder
named components in root of project, where I have this file
TestComponent.aswith following content
package components {
   import mx.core.UIComponent;
   import mx.controls.Image;
   import flash.display.Shape;
   public class TestComponent extends UIComponent {
   private var imageInstance:Image = null;
   public function TestComponent() {
super();
   imageInstance = new Image();
   imageInstance.source = "icon.gif";
   addChild(imageInstance);
   trace("TestComponent initialized!");
   var shape:Shape = new Shape();
   shape.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
   shape.graphics.drawCircle(50,50,25);
   addChild(shape);
   }
   }
}

"icon.gif" is bitmap stored in root folder of project.
Seems like pretty stright forward and theres nothing to break, but it isnt
so. Shape appears, which make me think that component instance is
initialized and placed in display list.
But I really have bad luck with creating mx.controls.Image i think I tried
everything with no luck.
There must be something I'm missing, but I have no idea what is it :)

Oh, and when I tried to extend some component directly it works, seems like
thers no blank components for me!
Any help will be apreciated!

[Flashcoders] amfphp and postgres

[Janis Radins]

Hey ppl!

I know this is a little of offtopic but still my problem is connected with
Flash and AS.
I'm trying to connect flash to data from postgres with amfphp and somehow it
just doesnt work.
Amfphp is returning results as expected but as soon as I try to pass data
from postgres it just dies silently. Everything works fine from browser and
I think I've checked everything and no luck.
Anyone had this problem before?

Re: [Flashcoders] Point inside Rectangle ?

[Janis Radins]

Check whteher your point is iniside boundries by something like this:
if(point.x > rect.minX && point.x < rect.maxX && point.y > rect.minY &&
point.Y < rect.maxY)

guess something like that should work.

2006/12/21, Oliver Müller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi all,

I'm looking for a mathematic way to check if a point resides within a
rectangle.
The rectangle is not parallel to the axes, instead its rotating all the
time.
It's not a movieclip so hitTest is out of the question.
Any suggestions how I could solve this problem ?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?

[Janis Radins]

btw, not long time ago i heard some person on efnet #actionscript complaning
that FMS and red5 are saving FLV's encoded with sorensen which he claimed is
unconvertable to any alternative format.

2006/11/29, Robert r. Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Ah, ok, that makes things clearer.

First, look at RED5 - http://osflash.org/red5  You'd have to record to
FLV and then run a second program to parse out the audio, but it could
be done.

Second, the blog entry I was thinking of is
http://www.flashcodersbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9  it might contain
useful code if you wanted to try and convert the audio inside of flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?

[Janis Radins]

in that case you got everything wrong, microphone attached to sound object
provides only playback of current sound.
no recording or anything like that.
only way imo is to use FMS or Red5 to send stream serverside and only then
encode it as you need.
thats the only alternative as far as i know.
though i'm not sure about AS3 maybe there are some new features that might
help to do this.
but still sending sound stream sounds a lot more efficient to me than
encoding sound into stream client side, then send string to serverside and
encode it back to sound there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash8: Duplicate Movie problem

[Janis Radins]

That code is so retard, get moving away from flash 4 syntax, it's 2006 out
there!

Try this:
line._y += 4;
line.duplicateMovieClip("tope"+t, t);
t++;
if(line._y > 75) {
stop();
}

And frame loops are bad fasion btw. Use SomeMovieClip.onEnterFrame or
setInterval() for timed loop.
One more thing is that duplicateMovieClip("line", "tope", t); will produce
many MovieClips with same name, wich will cause tageting issues.


2006/11/27, Ricardo Portilho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hello,

I am trying to use a simple duplicate movie in Flash8 AS2,
it works fine in FlashMX, but I can´t to "translate it" into AS2, Flah8:

movie clip Duplicate Line

Frame 1:
//obs: line is the mc instance name

setProperty("line", _y, getProperty("line", _y)+4);
duplicateMovieClip("line", "tope", t);
t = t+1;
if (getProperty("line", _y)>75) {
stop();
}

Frame 2 :

gotoAndPlay(1);

//end

thank you in advance,

color value is number even if it accepts 0xXXX string, hence you can use
simple toWhite[nWhiteCount] without "0x" and toString().
flash works with decimal numbers anyways
as soon as it receives 0xFF it's automacaly converted to 16777215
anyways

2006/11/22, eric dolecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I'm using setRGB, so I did this:

var decToHex = "0x" + toWhite[nWhiteCount].toString(16).toUpperCase();

which is basically working instead of tweaking and setting text formats

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween color of dynamic text

[Janis Radins]

looks right to me

0x4B8CCD = 4951245

im guessing you missed of some of the end values as

0xFF = 16777215

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween color of dynamic text

[Janis Radins]

those  values are decimal representation of hex color values
you can use them as they are for lets say TextFormat.color value

from going from a blue to white:

[0x4B8CCD,0xFF]

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween color of dynamic text

[Janis Radins]

or you could use something like this class of myne
http://www.mediaverk.lv/asd/com/jR/Math/ColorTween.as to get all color steps
and afterwards apply that color in timed loop.
Like var colors:Array = com.jR.Math.ColorTween.getColorArray([StartColor,

and applying that color change within setInterval calls.

Re: [Flashcoders] Remoting bytesLoaded/bytesTotal

yeah I know that i can show "L O A D I N G" and remove it as I receive data
but that's not the case
question was whether there is any possibility to get accurate loaded/total
bytes

How big can be a resulset if you didn't do the query, or open a file or

You can show a indeterminate progress bar. When result come back remove

If I'm not mistaken, blank/empty calls are made to either create a

I'm not 100% sure about that though.

[Flashcoders] Remoting blank requests

[Janis Radins]

Hey!

I'm in a process of exploring why my remoting data feeds get slow somtimes.
Therefore i installed Service Capture and started to look what it does and
found out that there are blank requests before real request with proper
data.
I believe this might confuse my app, since any data request migh fire
response routines or anything like that.
I did checked all places I am calling any remoting services and I am
absolutely sure there are no multiply calls from me.

Empty call looks exactly as proper one with single difference - it pass null
null null instead of real request data.
I am using amfphp and FF.

Could be that this is normal behavior of Remoting or thats bug in somewhere,
ideas?

tnx in advance

[Flashcoders] Remoting bytesLoaded/bytesTotal

[Janis Radins]

hye ppl!

I'm in a situation that remoting calls get slow at some point for users with
slow connection, hence client asked for loading progress display.
As far as i know there is no sutch thing as bytesLoaded /total for remoting
calls, I just serched help docs and that only confirmed that.

I just would like to know if anyone have hacked/found the way to do that for
AS2 and remoting calls or confirmation that it is impossible.

tnx in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

[Janis Radins]

just force them to execute some registration code on first frame of theyr
movie and pass instance which will accept all those calls according to
predefined communication interface

2006/11/8, Ricardo Sánchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi!

Where I work we are about to begin a pretty big project collaborating with
some other agencies.

The thing is we are going to develop the main movie with the menus and
other
stuff where every other movie any agency develops is going to be loaded.

I was thinking about writing an interface class and give it to our
collaborators so their main class would have to implement some specific
methods (like start, finish, resize...)

But then I thought that doing it this way will probably force us to
compile
their fla ourselves, and that's something we want to avoid. Every movie
has
to be independent and compile on itself, and then the swf should fit in
our
proyect.

Does this make any sense? Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] access to drawing API information via ActionScript

[Janis Radins]

No you cannt access curve data throught AS.
Only thing thats possible would be to save all drawing activity in memory
for later reproduction.
That wouldnt be that hard actually.

2006/11/7, Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi Flashcoders

is it possible to write ActionScript code to gain access to
lines/fills/shapes drawn on the stage using the standard Flash API?

eg
open a new document
draw a line on the stage
draw another line
add some more lines, curves, add some filled shapes, rectangles, circles
etc

now is it possible to write ActionScript that will translate the drawing
you
created above into AS-style:

moveTo(x1,y1);
lineTo(x2,y2);
curveTo(cx,cy, x3,y3);
beginFill();
lineTo(x4,y4);
etc etc

I want to be able to trace out a fairly complex drawing using all the
Flash
tools, but then control how it gets drawn entirely from ActionScript.

Thanks! Ben.

Re: [Flashcoders] wmode=transparent and buttons behavior woes

[Janis Radins]

My problems appear only on FireFox IE does just fine.
I'll send you link of how my problems looks offlist.

2006/10/31, Lyndon Headley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Here's an interesting article I just came across concerning Flash 8 (if
that
is the version you are using) and wmode settings.

http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2006/02/23/wmode-woes/

Here's a relevant snippet concerning Events:

"*Inconsistent Performance*
SWFs using wmode actually perform slightly different from SWFs that have a
default wmode. The difference is that when you are running as transparent
or
opaque, events are delayed until an onEnterFrame. If you are running at a
slow frame rate and drive your movie with setInterval or use any number of
other events, you are back to your slow frame rate. If you would like to
see
an example of the difference in the way it runs, take a look
here<http://justin.everett-church.com/wmode>(must use IE). The real
kicker is that SWFs in IE have this bug. SWFs in
Firefox are just fine.

While this does irk me just because one of the best things about Flash is
its cross-everything consistency, It has caused a problem for a specific
application I've worked on. At one point I needed to instantiate a lot of
SWFs in HTML. Each instance running at its own framerate starts to bog
down
the machine at some point just from the processing power it takes to idle
a
lot of transparent 12 FPS SWFs. My proposed work around was to make the
SWFs
run at 1FPS or less, and then drive the file with setInterval. This would
allow me animate the files at the appropriate frame rate when needed, but
otherwise idle at a super low framerate. This works fantastically with a
default wmode. With a transparent SWF, the Interval only fired once per
second right along with the onEnterFrame. "

[Flashcoders] wmode=transparent and buttons behavior woes

[Janis Radins]

Somehow when i set wmode=transparent to flash object all buttons start to
behave in some strange way, calling onRollOver/onRollOut on wrong moments.
Anyone knows what exactly is going on and why, or how to prevent this?
I've noticed this long time ago.

Re: Simgletons... you can have all other public methods in that class
subscribe to interface methods, except 'getInstance()' or 'create()' or
whatever.  So singletons can definitely make use of interfaces.

I agree that static methods would be useful, as would intrinsic getters

setters.

Re: [Flashcoders] Some whining about AS2 interfaces

[Janis Radins]

Interfce main purpose is to define communication methods for some kind of
object.
Pls be so kind and tell me what in a hell private properties have to do with
external objects which what to communicate with instance implementing
particular interface?
Static mighe be usefull, but then again, creating instance level proxy
method for static function access, or even getters setters are so easy that
I dont see here any problem 404.

2006/10/23, Andreas R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


So i'm trying to build a framework around interfaces. To create an
application within this framework, ideally all you'd have to do is
implement the interfaces and satisfy their conditions.

However:

No static methods in interfaces means no static methods means no
singletons. Bummer.
No way to specify private constructors (also for singletons). Bummer.

How would you smart people work around this? Documentation?

It seems like a major disadvantage to interfaces, but i may just be
missing the point entirely. Some tell me interfaces are "only for
polymorphism", and while that's nice and all it doesn't make sense to me.

Re: [Flashcoders] newbie question - drawing a ring

[Janis Radins]

check out www.mediaverk.lv/asd it might give you just what you need


2006/10/20, Guntur N. Sarwohadi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hello David,

You can use flash drawing API. You might use just 2 drawing methods:

moveTo(x,y) moves a pointer from where you want to start drawing from

and

curveTo(cpx, cpy, x, y) draws a curve with cpx is the location of the
curve
control point by x, cpx is the curve control point by y, and x & y is the
final point / destination to draw

you might as well define the line style using lineStyle or filling it with
a
color using beginFill and then endFill.

it's all in the help / manual located at the IDE..

Hope this helps,

Guntur N. Sarwohadi

Re: [Flashcoders] hello, and interval management question

[Janis Radins]

yes you can pass that interval ID
you can do something like this:
var intContainer:Object = new Object();
intContainer.interval = setInterval(someFun, 50, intContainer);

in this case intContainer will be to first argument of that functon and
you'll be able to refference it anytime as arguments[0].interval

2006/10/15, Giles Bowkett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi, I'm mainly a coder, with some experience on the arts side as well.
I've got a site where I need to be able to set and clear a bunch of
intervals dynamically. It's a visualization application which involves
node-link graphs with a potentially large number of nodes, and in
which you can generate new graphs by exploring particular nodes.
Various animations and things will have to happen, and one use of the
application could conceivably involve hundreds of intervals being set
and cleared. I need to be able to manage fade-outs, fade-ins, and
movement for all these different nodes without any of the interval
clearing or setting obliterating pre-existing intervals used in
different functions.

I've been reading various books and googling for a while and I really
just haven't found any sophisticated technique for doing what I want
to do.

There are limitations, too. The system is a prototype and has to be
finished very quickly. It's not object-oriented, it's in AS 2, and
I've probably made a number of hideous mistakes as my prior experience
is generally limited to bit101 tutorials and Jared Tarbell style art
experiments.

My question is, is there a way to pass an interval to the function
you're calling within setInterval? Should I create a NodeFader class
and pass it the interval?

nodefader = new NodeFader() ;
nodefader.interval = setInterval(nodefader, 50, node_to_fade) ;

Something like that?

My second question is, did I just answer my first question in the
process of asking it?

Hey Guys,
I'm working on duplicating the zoom function for the Flash Player via
fscommand calls.  Using an fscommand call to flashplayerobject.Zoom
(50) works as expected, it zooms in.  However, it always zooms to the
center of the swf.  If you use the contextual right click menu to
Zoom, it zooms to an area surrounding your cursor.  I'd like to be
able to do this with fscommand.  Any ideas?  Using ZoomRect seems to
disable the panning ability of the flash player, essentially locking
your view to the rectangle.

Re: [Flashcoders] reseting ASSetPropFlags back to default

[Janis Radins]

That would only indicate one isHiden value of property. "can overwrite" and
"can delete" would still stay unprocessed.
I am looking at table of ASSetPropFlags right now and it seems like theres
no bloody way to do that. If only it would be possible to change only
visibility leaving canOverwrite and canDelete alone, but guess thats not
possible.
Thanx for your reply anyways.

Hi,
you can record all the public fields for an object, prior to unhiding all
the hidden fields.
Now afterwards, hide everything and unhide the fields you recorded

[Flashcoders] reseting ASSetPropFlags back to default

[Janis Radins]

Hey ppl!

I have made some pretty nice printR function (
www.mediaverk.lv/asd/com/jR/Utils.as) it's working pretty well and i'm
thinking of new features.
One good feature would be to use ASSetPropFlags in order to show private
properties and that could be done relatively easy.
Thought the problem IMO is that property visibility isnt there just for
nothing so making everything visible should be followed by seting object
visibility back to default state.

I'm pretty sure this is almost impossible but i'd just would like to make it
100% sure that someone havent found a way.

Re: [Flashcoders] masking a clip which uses the drawing api

[Janis Radins]

Masking with elements made up by drawing API works 100%, ive done it many
times.
What is it that doesnt work for you?

2006/9/15, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


>>Is it not possible to mask a clip into which you draw things using
>>the drawing API?

I'm not totally sure about masking, but in general, I think there are
some bugs or conflicts with a movie clip drawn upon with the draw API
and other elements of the movie.  I'm not sure this is as related as you
would like, but for example, I had an issue with one of those drawn-on
movie clips which had another movie clip as a child, which had a
textfield on it.  It worked fine until the textfield was updated with
new data - then the old text still showed, and the new text was also
drawn over the top - so it looked like there were two overlapping
textfields.  If I separated the textfield from the clip being drawn on,
it worked fine.  I never could figure out the behavior, but I assumed it
had to do with the clips and children of clips drawn on by the draw API
and the way the player renders them/redraws them.  In another case,
portions of v2 components always displayed below clips which were drawn
upon - the drawn on clips were always on top.

Post again if you figure it out.

The following code worked for me perfectly:





onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 5;
radius = 100;
xcenter = 250;
ycenter = 200;
ellipticalOrbitX = 2;
ellipticalOrbitY = 1;
angle =120;
_root.lineStyle (2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = Math.cos (angle * Math.PI / 180) * radius *
ellipticalOrbitX + xcenter;
_y = Math.sin (angle * Math.PI / 180) * radius *
ellipticalOrbitY + ycenter;
_root.lineTo (_x, _y);
angle += speed;
if (angle > 359)
{
angle -= 360;
}
}






u can write the same code on the 1st[onClipEvent (load)] and 2nd frames
[onClipEvent (enterFrame)] and write



gotoandplay(2)



on 3rd frame...


if u 10 objects then all u hav to do is



angle=0;
angleShift=360/10;



and in each object,


angle=angle+angleShift;



this will keep the objects at a perfect distance in the orbit...

hope it'll be helpful 4 u...

that is because attachMovie returns MovieClip.

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a colorreturnedfrom getPixel

Brightness of color can be found in quite easy way.
If we have decimal representation of RGB brightness in percents will be
100*(((R+G+B)/3)/255)
Color brightness represents position of particular color in color tween from
0xFF at 0 position The base color at position 127.5 and 0x0 at 255.

   var b = pixelvalue & 0xFF;
   var bright = Math.max(Math.max(r,g),b);
   return Math.round((bright/255)*100);
}

And for an "optimized/faster" version, you could try something like:

function computeBrightness(pixelvalue)
{
   // returns the larger value of r, g or b -- and scale it down to a
0..100
range.
   var r = pixelvalue >> 16 & 0xFF;
   var g = pixelvalue >> 8 & 0xFF;
   var b = pixelvalue & 0xFF;
   var bright = (r>g)?((r>b)?r:b):((g>b)?g:b);
   return (bright/255)*100;  // no rounding.
}

(Again, this is untested code -- but it looks like it should work).

[Flashcoders] Getting FLV file size server-side

[Janis Radins]

Hello people!

archive and web but found no results.

know where exactly?

Re: [Flashcoders] Conditional Import Statements

[Janis Radins]

no there is no way
improts are executed at compile time all you can do is to define which class
to use depending on player version

2006/6/5, Christian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hey Guys,

So i'm in the process of writing a class that does a lot of JavaScript
handling.  The tricky part is, I want to use External Interface for
those files published in 8 and simple getURL calls for those published
in 7 or below.

For all intents and purposes, this is a private class that won't be
exposed to the public, so I can't simply require the user to import
version 8 of class or version 7 of class.

Is there a way to do a conditional import based on published version,
instead of runtime version?  I often use $version to detect major
version of play to handle other functionality, but as you all know
External Interface breaks if not published in 8.

OR better yet, could I simply just copy the file to the FP7 folder and
fake it?

Does this make sense or am I smoking crack here?

Christian

array clone is done quite easy.
see this:
var old_array:Array = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);

new_array.shift();
trace(old_array+" : "+new_array);

Re: [Flashcoders] rotate gradient fill

[Janis Radins]

it seems that matrix of form {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i} is capable of doing
this job
i found matrix implementation that allows this kindof manipulations at
http://www.flashadvisor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=380&start=0 and seems that
after transfering ti to AS2 and slight modifications it might help
anyways, that just isnt logical that one kind of matrix does something that
other kind doesnt while they shsould be equal
shame on you Adobe :)

[Flashcoders] rotate gradient fill

[Janis Radins]

Hello people!

Just noticed that beginGradientFill matrix r property doesn't have any
effect on radial fills.
That might be my mistake as well, though i tested it with MM sample code and
still no luck.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("gradient_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
with (gradient_mc) {
colors = [0xFF, 0xFF];
fillType = "radial";
alphas = [100, 100];
ratios = [0, 0xFF];
matrix = {matrixType:"box", x:100, y:125, w:200, h:150, r:(90/180)*
Math.PI};
beginGradientFill(fillType, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
moveTo(100, 100);
lineTo(100, 300);
lineTo(300, 300);
lineTo(300, 100);
lineTo(100, 100);
endFill();
}

In this code changing 90 degrees to anything else has no effect at all.
Anyone noticed this one before, maybe somebody have ideas how to make
workaround?
I know about Matrix object in flash player 8 that might help me with this
problem but I'd like to avoid it and stay flash player 7 compatible as long
as possible.

Janis

Hey ppl!


I just lounched first project which runs on amfphp 1.0 and I've encountered

on data transfers.
Simple call for few kb data takes 5-10 seconds.
Otherwise everything is allright, and its very fast when lounched from ide.
Anyone expierienced that?

Re: [Flashcoders] lil OOP question

[Janis Radins]

I made it quite simplyer.
I named all class variables that could be possibly set from outside
class with leading "_", so if I have
private var _property:whatEverDataType = null;
it's setter is named same name just without "_" so a little check for
if(this["_"+i] != undefined){
this[i] = iniObject[i];
}
All variables must have initial value and thats it, it's working

Re: [Flashcoders] lil OOP question

[Janis Radins]

Explination to why I need this is very simple.
The actual class I have looks like this:

class foo {
function foo(initObject:Object){
for(var i:String in initObject){
if(setter named same as i exists){
this[i] = initObject[i];
} else {
trace("error, invalid value in initObject")
}
}
}
}

As I allready said I have alternative solution so this is what I
expected and doesnt make any problem.

Thankyou for response.

[Flashcoders] lil OOP question

[Janis Radins]

hey ppl

I'm wondering is there a way to chech wether some class function
exists from constructor?
smthn like:
class foo {
function foo(){
if(this class has property named fooProperty) dothis()
else doThat()
}
public function set fooProperty (smthn):Void {
someFooProperty = smth;
}
}

As far as I've tried it this["fooProperty"] returns only undefined.

I know more than one possible workaround, just this way seems to me
more elegant.

Tnx in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a button class entirely in 2.0 with no symbol association, possible?

[Janis Radins]

No thats no a problem, you can do like this:

public function set _x(value:Number):Void {
mc._x = value;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a button class entirely in 2.0 with no symbol association, possible?

[Janis Radins]

I'm doing this all the time I've made tonns of different inputs fro
diferent projects and finally I am planing to code some fullscale AS2
only UI collection.

Thats done like this:
class myButton {
private var mc:MovieClip;
function myButton(host:MovieClip, level:Number){
mc= host.createEmptyMovieClip("myButton"+level, level);
}
}
In this case all drawing is done by variable mc.

Re: [Flashcoders] [Web usability - Fullscreen - CSS?] I know ... but customer wants it Mac/PC

[Janis Radins]

CSS works only inside browser window, you cannt have to fullscreen
without resizing window to that size.
So only option is to use JS window.open(... fullscreen=1 ...)
Popup blockers can be tricked, btw

Re: [Flashcoders] Ho to hide flash layer in Mozilla?

[Janis Radins]

document.all doesnt exist in w3c specifications there for FF doesnt
know about it
use document.getElementById instead, and it will work in both browsers

[Flashcoders] Dynamic resizing of flash object throught JS calls

[Janis Radins]

Hey folks!

I have here flash page which is ment to change it's size dynamcally
through JS calls but somehow I cannt manage to get it bug free on
anything else than FireFox.
The idea is that I have flash movie with:
[AS]
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
[/AS]
initaly set to width and height 100% of page, when flash content
expands I call fscommand that gets throught to JS located in page that
does the very simple thing like:
[JS]
var element = document.all ? document.all[objectID] : document[objectID];
if(document.body.clientHeight > __height){
element.height = document.body.clientHeight;
} else {
element.height = __height;
}
[/JS]

Movie handles Stage.onResize events and keep itself centered horizontally.
As i allready mentioned everything is beautifull in FF while IE shows
strange behavior, flash object is resized only in case __height (which
is fscommand param for ner height) is larger than current size of
flash object, so calls that should make flash object smaller doesnt
seem to be applyed. Even thought IE do receive new values, as I
tested.

Just tested that in Opera 9 and it gets even worse somehow Opera
thinks that flash has made infinte loop, think that might be something
with way Opera flash plugin deals with flash loadMovie calls.

One thing I thought about as possible cause for those errors might be
flash javascript communication kit, which i am using togeather with
fscommand to have flash <> js communications though it would be kindof
strange if it would affect sutch things.


At this point I'm with no clue how to make it right, any help will be
appreciated.

Regards
Jānis
