RE: [Flashcoders] ASO files, file times, and classes, oh my
Thanks - however I don't think it's a cross reference issue with various
classes. I'm not referring to any other code in other classes. I'm
thinking it's related to file times and a bug with Flash.
Cool compiler class though, may come in handy.

I've seen this before, but can't clearly understand the root cause.
Most likely it is the cross-referencing bytecode compile bug that
plagues Flash 8. Deleting ASO files does not work in many cases.
I solve it by using my devilishly simple Compile class, as pointed
out in the recent Flash 8 OSX - Classpath woes thread. Here again
is the class, with usage help in the comments:
// -
/**
* Compiler class
*
* This is a simple class to aid in compiling other self-referential
classes that stubbornly refuse to compile. This frequently occurs
when a class (A) refers to another class (B) which then refers back
to the first class (A), giving the following compile error: The name
of this class, 'x', conflicts with the name of another class that was
loaded, 'x'. To address this issue, just change the import reference
in this class to refer to the problem class, and check syntax on this
class.
*
* The logic behind this fix is explained here: http://
ericlin2.tripod.com/as2/conflict.html

* @author Stephen Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* @version 1.0
* @langversion ActionScript 2.0
* @playerversion Flash 8

// Change this reference to target the stubborn class.

Hi,

It's always the same error:

Also, I don't even have to touch anything - go to the main .fla file,
select Delete ASO files, and I get that particular error again (the
one
about System.capabilities). I haven't even modified the
System.capabilities class! (but I use system.capabilities in the
code
in various places)
This happens when I try to publish the SWF.
Try to publish it again, and it magically works! WTF!
I've tried to work around this issue by changing my system date to
a few
days in the future. This seems to temporarily work, but then
sometimes
it gets all weird again.
For a few classes that are being worked on, it's gotten to the point
where I can't even modify the class and see the changes when I reload
the browser without deleting the class's ASO file (at which point,
I get
the conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded error -
2nd publish attempt works fine).
Anyone know what's going on? Macrodobe, please fix this in CS3 if
it's
not already!!!

RE: [Flashcoders] links behaviors in a data grid component
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you trying to display clickable links (instead of just regular text) inside cells in a DataGrid? If so, you probably want to use a CellRenderer to do this. CellRenderers allow you to display custom content in each cell of a column inside the DataGrid. They can be a little involved, but the docs cover them pretty well... -=matt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gustavo Duenas Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 1:20 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] links behaviors in a data grid component Hi, I've recently downloaded a data grid editor and a data conn wizard, it went fine in order to retrieve data from a xml page, but I'd like to use the links in order to go to the site where the news is bigger, do you know how? in the wizard everything went ok, but when I tried to click on the link, nothing happens I know is easier in flex, But I'd like to have this in flash 8.

RE: [Flashcoders] Getting frustrated. regarding set Interval, and for loop.
Paul:
I understand what you're trying to do (make a time-delay slide show of
images).
Using setInterval for that is fine, but you have to make sure you're
using it correctly.
Calling setInterval will set up a flash system timer that will call your
function every X milliseconds.
It will keep going, and keep calling that function (every X
milliseconds), until it's stopped.
Hence, there is no reason for you to be calling setInterval in a loop
and setting up 5 timers (that will each repeat forever). Simply have 1
timer, that repeats 5 times, then you stop it.
To do this in simplified code:
//set up the call count.
_root.timerCalls = 0;
//make the function that will be called.
function foo()
{
trace(Timer function got called!);
if(_root.timerCalls++ == 4)
{
trace(Max calls reached. Stopping timer...);
clearInterval(_root.myTimerID); //timer will never get
called again.
_root.timerCalls = 0; //reset counter
}
//do stuff (every 1sec).
}
//make the timer, and start it.
_root.myTimerID = setInterval(foo, 1000); //system will call
foo() every second until you stop it. Timer ID gets stored into
_root.myTimerID.
This is just one way to do it. In your timer function, you'll implement
your code for loading the new image, and taking away the old one.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Getting frustrated. regarding set Interval,and
for loop.
Let me explain the problem I am having and then I will send you some
code. I want to load up images in a slide show with set interval, with
the images being called image1 image2 image 3 etc. I want to be coding
a dynamic slide show so that if I change the images I can just replace
the mc images.
here is the code I am working on, I am a little new to setInterval
(completely new to that function actually) - I do understand the basic
syntax,
setInterval( function (){ //entire function here;},1000);
But I don't know how to run a for loop inside it and pass a variable to
it. (I am a newbie).
function loadImages(){//Ihave this here so I can run an external
for loop.
for(i=1;i6;i++){
setInterval(function(){ //set interval and begins anonymous
function i.e function() -no name
attachMovie(image+i,image+i,41); //trying to attach the
images, image1 - image5
image = eval(image+i);//instance assigned to
variable 'image'
image._x = ((Stage.width / 2)-(image._width/2)); //positioning
image._y = (yFactor);
//positioning
oldwidth = image._width;
//saving dimensions for resizing formula
oldheight = image._height;//saving
dimensions for resizing formula
image._height = yheight; //image
height set to variable
image._width = ((oldwidth*yheight)/oldheight); //image width set
to proportions of original
},1000);
//interval to 1 sec. 1000 milliseconds
}
//end for loop
} //end
container function
I am trying to set the images up for a second and then have them switch.
Help me out if you you know a solution. Or even if you see some obvious
errors. Like I said I am new with the set interval. by the way if you
like that little resizing technique, you can use it. Thank you.
Looking forward to a response on this one.

[Flashcoders] Internet Explorer and CTRL keyboard trapping
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about how to get this to
work in IE 6 or 7 (Windows XP or Vista; Flash Player 9):
var listener = {};
listener.onKeyDown = function()
{
var lastKey = Key.getCode();
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) lastKey == 65) //65 == A
{
_root.createTextField(foo, 5, 5, 5, 70, 50);
_root.foo.text = Control-A pressed;
}
}
Key.addListener(listener);
...Works just fine in Firefox. I've noticed that a lot of hotkeys are
trapped by default in IE... is there some secret parameter I can pass to
the embed object, or am I missing something really basic? Why does IE
suck so much?
Also, this doesn't seem to work when you test it inside the standalone
flash player. I tried Control - Disable Keyboard Shortcuts already.
Thanks...

RE: [Flashcoders] Transparent list component
Hi,
Try this code:
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.backgroundColor = null;
mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.drawRowFill = function
(mc:MovieClip, newClr:Number):Void
{
mc.clear();
var bgAlpha = 100; //opaque - no alpha defined
var dg = this._parent._parent;
if(dg.className.indexOf(DataGrid) != -1) //this is a DataGrid
or derived from it
{
if(dg.backgroundAlpha != undefined dg.backgroundAlpha
!= null
newClr != dg.rollOverColor
newClr != dg.selectionColor
newClr != dg.selectionDisabledColor)
bgAlpha = dg.backgroundAlpha;
}
//otherwise, the alpha will be 100, like before
if (newClr == null) mc.beginFill(0xFF, bgAlpha); //white -
no color defined
else mc.beginFill(newClr, bgAlpha);
mc.drawRect(1, 0, this.__width, this.__height);
mc.endFill();
mc._width = this.__width;
mc._height = this.__height;
};
//this override lets us draw the background color where there are no
valid rows (instead of alternating colors)
mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.getNormalColor =
function(Void):Number
{
var col;
var o = this.owner;
if ( !o.enabled ) col = o.getStyle(backgroundDisabledColor);
else
{
//empty rows get the background color. backgroundAlpha
is kinda weird with this...
if(this.item == undefined o.backgroundAlpha ==
undefined) return o.getStyle(backgroundColor);
var itemIndex = this.rowIndex + o.__vPosition;
if (this.rowIndex == undefined) col =
o.getPropertiesOf(this.item).backgroundColor;
else col = o.getPropertiesAt(itemIndex).backgroundColor;
if (col == undefined)
{
var colArray =
o.getStyle(alternatingRowColors);
if (colArray == undefined) col =
o.getStyle(backgroundColor);
else col = colArray[itemIndex%colArray.length];
}
}
return col;
};
The first function will let you specify that a DataGrid or List has a
transparent background.
To set a transparent background on the list or DataGrid, do:
my_list_or_grid.backgroundAlpha = value; //value = 0-100
The second function lets you draw the list background where there are no
rows present (you can omit this function if you want).
Note: for this stuff to work, make sure NOT to set backgroundColor on
the list or grid, and make sure to DO set alternatingRowColors (you can
use anything... like [0,0]). Note that you can even use
alternatingRowColors with 1 element to simulate backgroundColor (like
[0xFF]).

Hello gang,
what is the current status on components-with-transparent-backgrounds?
I did search the archives but and it seems people have been working on
all sorts of patches and solutions, but is there a real definitive
solution?
Never thought that putting a background image in a list view component
would be hard... :-)
