Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;
i have a related question
what is the difference between
- setting _visible = false on a clip
and
- structuring the flash movie so i go to a frame where that same
movieclip is removed.
see what i mean? i always have a pretty massice _root.content_mc with,
say, intro_mc, section1_mc, section2_mc inside it.
i always set _visible = false on all the clips i'm not currently
using, but it's sometimes tempting to have multiple frames in
_root.content_mc, one frame for intro_mc, one for section1_mc etc. to
save cpu.
does anyone know the difference between _visible = false and going to
a frame that hasn't got the clip.
ps. i have noticed how
intro_mc._y = - 2000
together with
intro_mc._visible = false
often gives better performance when showing for instance section1_mc.
but probably attachMovie and removeMovieClip is the best way to go at
this problem, in order to get the best performance?
thanks,
kalle

The other major difference is easily shown:
Place a movieClip on stage.
Give it an onRelease handler:
clip.onRelease=function(){trace(Release!);}
Test your movie - click on it, and Release! is traced.
Set clip._alpha to 0
Test the movie - click on where the clip should be, and Release! is traced.
Set clip._visible=false
Test the movie - click on where the clip should be, and nothing
happens. The clip has effectively been removed from the drawing
heirarchy completely.

when we load a picture or swf ,like this:
this.createEmptyMovieClip(container_mc,0);
container_mc.loadMovie(test.jpg);
container_mc._alpha =0 ;
you can see nothing in the scene.because of ._alpha =0;
but if you
container_mc_visible=false ;
you can see the test.jpg on the scene._visible = false
do nothing.
i want to kown ,what the other different between them.

Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;
yeah sure, but performance wise, how much slower could _visible = false be?
if on frame where the MovieClip is not present, nothing of its property is
accessible
yes, but does that mean that everything else can get more attantion
from cpu, graphics etc?
thanks,

when only setting _visible to flase., all other belongings are accessible,
all properties methods if it is forinstance subClass of MovieClip

so big difference, visualy almost none, though

[Flashcoders] passing variables to a popup using javascript instead of php/asp
hi,
just found a way to send variables to a pop up (or similar) without
having to use a server side language like php or asp.
it's a java script property called document.location.search and is
The sub string that follows the question mark is the query string or
form data.
example:
example getURL in the mother swf:
getURL('javascript:OpenWin(popup.html?someVar=' + someVar + ', 700, 400);')
and the code inside popup.html
var fo = new FlashObject(main.swf + document.location.search,
fotester, 700, 400, 7);
as i have been using php like a sucker all these years, this can make
it simpler for me to work. perhaps it can help someone else.

Re: [Flashcoders] Caret position coords
i remember doing this a few years ago, using — a loop (filling the textfield) and autoSize=true to determine if there was a line break (you could determine this in other ways) — and if _height old_height in the loop, do — letterCurrentY += LINE_HEIGHT then use getTextExtent() to get _x. i remember there was some margins and stuff inside the text field to take into account, but it worked. the problem is it can be hard to find out the constant LINE_HEIGHT. good luck, kalle On 1/2/06, Michael Bedar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To answer the original question - there is no direct way to do this, although you can use the text-extent to get the x offset of the caret fairly easily in a single line textfield.

Re: [Flashcoders] detecting when mouse goes outside of the flash
i did something in javascript that sent the data into flash onMouseMove, which worked very well. especially if the flash movie is on a fixed position. i can't seem to find the code now though. kalle On 11/23/05, Marc Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A 1-pixel wide area is not likely to capture a rollOver.

Even better - 2 such frames,- say, 1 and 2 px from the edge of the stage. Then it can work as follows: 1) If mouse crosses one of frames, check (setInterval or onEnterFrame) if it'll cross other right after this. Then: 2) If inner-then-outer = likely it goes outside; if outer-then-inner = likely it came back. 3) You can use vars (boolean) like hasCrossedInner etc. Hope this can help. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

But I can't find the solution, if there is any. I want a certain thing to happen in my flash when the mouse moves outside flash. Since the _xmouse/_ymouse stops updating when dragged outside you cant rely on them (they do work WHEN mouse is pressed and dragged out from the swf, but that is of course not a solution) I have also tried to add a big 'button' which has onRollOut/onDragOut attached to it, but the problem is that button-events above it will disable the underlying one. So what I know of there is no solution to this problem, but probably some decent hacks? I am not interested in a solution which requires code in the html-page or so, but if you have such one I would like to know about it as well. But mainly I wish to know a solution in which flash internally can say if the mouse-cursor is outside the flash in the html-page.
