You don't and should never have to.
Create a custom button (MovieClip+Class) that dispatches an event (e.g
.
release), rather than using a generic Button/MovieClip
symbol.
So instead of:
someMC.onRelease = Delegate.create(_level0, doSomething);
you'd then use:
function doSomething(o:Object):Void {
trace(o.target);
}
someMC.addEventListener(release, Delegate.create(this,
doSomething));

Howdy,
Quick question...How can I pass vars if i'm using delegates for

I have it set up like so...
someMC.onRelease = Delegate.create(_level0, doSomething);
what i want to be able to do is know which instance of someMC
actually
called it...

Re: [Flashcoders] onMetaData
I don't think you can rely on metaData being called just once, but it is easy enough to add logic to handle the metadata once only. The nature of the metadata depends on how (and with what tool) the flv was encoded. So the answer to your question of predictability is Yes only if you have strict control over how the video is encoded. Otherwise, the answer is No. - Randy On Jan 29, 2008 1:39 AM, strk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can one rely on the assumption that onMetaData will be called only once for a given video loaded by NetStream ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Google Maps or Yahoo maps
Hello, I have little experience with the Google API but AFAIK the API is strickly AJAX based. Yahoo! maps on the other hand, has an AS2 based component that you can hack and extend in Flash. They do not have an AS3 based component at this time but released an AS3 communication kit that facilitates direct API calls within Flex to the AS2 map though ExternalInterface. Google is the leader with maps. But IMHO Flash/flex is a better performer when layering interactivity on a map and a better development platform.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] migrating to Flex
I recently started to work with Flex Builder 2 for OSx and I am very impressed. I found a perfect use of it in a website I am building and was able to put together an nice proof of concept together within hours. This rich internet application has the microsoft developers I work with drooling. They have nothing to match it has the cross-browser/cross-platform support that the flex platform has.

Since you mention education licenses, one thing I can add is that academic licenses for Flex 2 w/Components are a mere $79! Of course you have to be a student, teacher, professor, etc. One source here: www.academicsuperstore.com/market/marketdisp.html?PartNo=760814 Also, since you already have Flash 8 Pro you can use that to start doing AS3 programming today, by just downloading and adding in the Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/ (btw ... since you have had issues with upgrade licenses, I suggest you download the AS3 Preview today just in case you do not upgrade to Flash 9 immediately upon it's release. Likely the AS3 Preview will disappear off of labs as soon as Flash 9 ships.) Lastly, Flash and Flex play to completely different audiences. Flex barely steps on Flash's turf, if at all. For instance you ask What if anything will I lose by switching to Flex? Well for starters: drawing tools, timeline, swf's under 119KB. Flash developers who do crossover work in Flex offer customization options that straight Flex developers can not. But if Flex Framework components do not address your requirements, then you may have little or no need to commit any of your time or $$ to Flex. Following are links to some well enunciated observations about Flex from a pair of powerhouse Flash developers: Jesse Warden and Grant Skinner.

Re: [Flashcoders] [POLL] getters setters preference
Initially I was wary of the built in get and set framework, but I came
to really like this technique. For example, you want to update the
score of your game, but doing so requires touching numerous gui
elements and properties. Using the built in setter methodology allows
you to abstract and simplify the API call.
score ++;
score += 10;
score --;

Hello all,
After a long time of trying to figure which method of using getters
setters is better I though the best way to get a good answer is to throw
it open to the list.
Do you prefer to use the inbuilt getter setter functionality?
i.e.
public function get myProperty():Number{ return _myProperty; }
public function set myProperty(intSet:Number):Void{ _myProperty =
intSet; }
or do you prefer using normal functions?
i.e.
public function getMyProperty():Number{ return _myProperty; }
public function setMyProperty(intSet:Number):Void{ _myProperty = intSet;
}
I like the first method as it looks cleaner, but there have been issues
with inheritance where if you overwrite either the getter or setter, but
not both in the child class it gets ignored.
What are your views?

Re: [Flashcoders] Using EventDispatcher in AS 1.0 code
I am a big fan of EventDispatcher! If you are using Flash MX2004 or later you can use AS2.0 (class based or not) to code. It all compiles down to AS1 code within the swf when you publish. You can set the target flash player in publish settings to an earlier version to accomodate the most users (Flash 8 player sits around 60% acceptance at this time I believe). Some new features and classes are not backwards compatible, and Flash will warn you of these when you publish. You are safe if you want to write your application using an AS2.0 class based framework and publish back to Flash 6 compatibility. This includes EventDispatcher.

Re: [Flashcoders] my old problem... with big loads of swf's
My experience has been that content loading from a local drive will cause the player to freeze until the entire contents of the asset is loaded into ram, therefore making it impossible to show loading progress. This is of course unlike loading an asset from a web server where showing load progress works quite well. If your asset is large enough (+8mb) it can start to really cause problems where the flash player freezes up and the user is left to wonder if the app crashed. If your large swfs are video, I suggest converting them to FLV and use netStream and netConnection objects to stream the video in. This will alleviate the problem.
