[Flashcoders] AS2Doc not working - no reponse from Mirell

[Flashcoders] F8 AS2 component in livepreview going invisible
I have a component I've created that will disappear when clicked in livepreview. If I click it again it appears and will remain visible even after clicking on other objects on stage. I have the standard set of functions in the component class (based on Joey Lott's tute here http://www.person13.com/articles/components/creatingcomponents.html) and it works fine with the exception of having to click it twice instead of once. I've put traces in all of the functions and see the correct ones getting called when I click on it the first time (and it goes invisible). The strange thing is clicking it the second time yields NO traces at all.. none of my code is called and yet the component displays. This is ActionScript 2.. Flash 8 IDE..

Re: [Flashcoders] load image in livepreview?
Sorry.. AS2, loading from external file --- John Grden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: when you say load are you talking externally? or embedded in the component swc? are we talking AS3? is this a new FLA based component for AS3 or swc? AS3 wraps the component at designtime with a livePreviewParent class and it's running a swf essentially. So, you should be able to load an external file without a problem. I'm building a component right now thats loading XML and multiple images at design time in the IDE without any problem without any special tricks. Although, i will say, you have to use an absolute path - relative won't work from where the FLA is saved if that's what you're assuming.

[Flashcoders] flash 8 components from scratch?
I'm relearning components and came across a somewhat recent thread http://www.mail-archive.com/flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com/msg21869.html that lead me to this statement regarding xch from Eric D.. What do I need to put in my component class to allow updates on the Stage of the component instance to update? I've tried a couple things,even using the old xch. stuff see in context here: http://www.mail-archive.com/flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com/msg21877.html and I've seen a couple of places that Flash 8 was supposed to streamline the live preview of components but I'm not finding much that shows how this takes place. I would rather not use all the pre-built v2 component architecture and it seems that all of the documentation assumes that you're going to extend UIObject, extend Button, etc..I used to make simple components with live preview using xch and it looks like I still can, but if there's a newer and better alternative out there then I'd like to hear about it.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash 8 components from scratch?
k.. what you said jives with other things that I've been reading, but I can't get it to work and it doesn't match up to what I'm finding in the docs or the IDE settings. In Component DefinitionLive Preview there's No live preview, Live Preview in external .swf file, and Live Preview with .swf file embedded in .fla file. There's nothing for use this symbol for Live Preview as well. I have my FLA with symbol in it (the symbol I want to be my component), I point it to my class that contains my [Inspectable] code and I set the symbol to No live preview then convert it to a compiled clip (or a SWC) -- I don't get a live preview when it's dropped on the stage. If I use an external SWF for live preview and use xch then it all works.. I get live preview and parameters entered into the component inspector are updated on the live preview. But it's extra code to maintain, etc. Is there an example of this somewhere? All I can find are old tutorials showing how to build components for MX and MX04.. which use separate live preview SWFs and xch to exchange data with the component inspector. --- Derek Vadneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You get live preview for free when you set your Library item as a component and point it to the AS2 class for that component. However, you won't actually see the live preview in your FLA until you compile the SWF (right-click option in the Library panel), or you create the SWC and add it to an FLA. You also get _global.isLivePreview, which is a variable you can use in your layout methods to determine if you're running in LivePreview mode or not. The only problem I've had with this method is when I've used arrays or objects for parameters that should appear in the Properties panel. The value would not be set as an array or object.

[Flashcoders] detect request from Flash Player?
I can use PHP ( echo($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT]); ) to detect a request from the Flash IDE or from Central. Both show a user agent of Shockwave Flash. However, when I open a standard Flash SWF in the web browser either embedded in an HTML page or just opening the SWF directly in the browser PHP sees the user agent as the browser.

[Flashcoders] load assets from memory stream?
ok, this is way off the beaten path, but does anyone know of a way to load assets (XML, JPG, etc) with a SWF if the SWF is loaded purely from memory (via the Flash Player in a VB wrapper rather than via the browser). Basically in this situation the SWF and all assets need to be unpacked in memory and the SWF is loaded from there. The SWF then needs to load other files but they are never written to the hard drive. Getting the SWF loaded via the memory stream is not a problem.. getting other assets in memory loaded via ActionScript is the question. Any ideas? __ Yahoo!
