[Flashcoders] Why would Selection.setFocus(mc) return false?

[Tom Versweyveld | VERSO]

Does anybody know why Selection.setFocus(mc) would return false, even if mc
has a unique tabindex .it won't receive tabbing focus, unless you put it
inside a handler:

 

test_mc.tabIndex = 1;

 

trace(Selection.setFocus(test_mc)); // traces false

 

test_mc.onRelease = function() {

trace(Selection.setFocus(this)); //traces true



};

 

Does anybody know what goes on behind the scenes here.?

 

Grtz,

Tom

RE: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Compiling just from AS3 code, no mxml files

[Tom Versweyveld | VERSO]

Would it be possible to loadmovie a flex swf into a lightweight as3 only
swf? It would come in handy when you need a lightweight frontend
application, but want a flex backend app (where filesize isn't too much of a
problem)...

There is not support for using the Flex Framework in an AS only  
project. While it is theoretically possible, you would have to  
manually bootstrap a lot of the application initialization code that  
Flex handles (something which would be rather complex).

If you want to play with the framework, but don't want to layout your  
app with mxml, then the easier way is to create a simple mxml file  
that contains an application tag, and a script tag that then points  
to your code.

This way, the application tag will take care of all of the  
initialization, and you can then leverage the framework via  
ActionScript.

If you just want to use ActionScript and no framework, then mxmlc  
will also compile an .as file.

Hope that helps...

 Hi all,

 I want to start playing with AS3 so I´ve downloaded the Flex 2 SDK
 from Adobe Labs. I don't want to use Flex Builder, I'm interested in
 the free compiler.

 I want to keep living without the Flex Framework but seems that the
 mxmlc compiler *needs* an mxml file (which, by the way, make sense):

 The basic syntax of the mxmlc utility is as follows:

 mxmlc [options] -file-specs target_file|dir [...]

 The file-specs options is the default option, and it is required to
 have a value. It refers to the target MXML file that mxmlc compiles
 into a SWF file.

 How do I create a SWF just from AS3 code without MXML files, aka Flex
 framework? Is this possible? Am I missing something important here?

 Cheers,

 Juan
