[Flashcoders] AS2.0 Class Question
Hello All --- I have what is probably a simple question, but possibly difficult to spell out in email. I have a SFW(A) which is loading Class A I have another SWF(B) which is loading Class B. Both FLAs exist in seperate directories and utilize their own classes. At some point SWF(A) gets loaded into SWF(B) and Class A makes a call to Class B. Everything runs according to plan. However the problem I run into is that when I publish SWF(A) with Class A attempting to call Class B, I get an error in the output panel that states more or less that Class B doesn't exist. Again, if I just ignore the error, everything runs fine. I don't really want to drop Class A into the folder where Class B is as there are about 15 other class files and SWF(A)/Class A doesn't really need them to run. Is there a way to avoid this issue? Hope that somewhat makes sense.

[Flashcoders] Transitions.as Error - The member is private and cannot be accessed.
I have a very strange error occurring when attempting to compile an FLA that utilizes the Transitions class (Transitions.as). I receive an error that states: '**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\DefaultUser\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\ Classes\mx\transitions\Transition.as: Line 160: The member is private and cannot be accessed. this._innerBounds = this.manager._innerBounds;' The only way that I have been able to resolve the issue is to change the class to a dynamic intrinsic class. That change eliminates the error, however, any objects that attempt to use the transition effects fail, that is no effects are run. In this instance, it isn't big deal as I am not using any transitions, but the Transitions Class MUST be included/imported in the FLA as it is part of a larger package. What makes this even stranger is that two co-workers can compile the FLA without any errors and they didn't have to change the type of class. Any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

i think you have to do this manually.
you either create a cellrenderer for your list and handle it this way (look in

[Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior
I have about 20 jpegs that are dynamically being loaded into a swf. These images are loaded one at a time, fade in as the previous one fades out, and then eventually the loop starts over again, loading the initial image. I am using the MovieClipLoader Class to load them. I am, however, running into an odd problem. On the site's live server (Linux Box), the images don't always get loaded in to the swf and there is just 'white' space. I have this exact site on another hosting company's server (windows) and the issue never occurs. To resolve the issue, I have even tried to use a cacheBuster for the images (ex: image1.jpg?12345). This however still doesn't work. I have also tried using a Windows server on the live site, but it yielded the same result. In my mind. clearly this is an issue with the hosting company?. Does anyone have any thioughts about why this may be occuring?

[Flashcoders] Scroll Pane Component - Issue with Scrolling when using mouse wheel
Hello All I am using the scroll pane component loading content via an external swf. I have noticed that the only way the content will scroll with the mouse wheel is if the mouse(cursor) is over the scroll bar. If the cursor is over the content and I attempt to scroll using the mouse wheel, it doesn't work. Is this the correct functionality of the scroll pane?

[Flashcoders] Custom Component --- Maintaining Proper Scale

[Flashcoders] onEnterFrame / SetInterval in a Class (with Delegate)

I have even tried using Delegate with the onEnterFrame and still no luck.

[Flashcoders] Tweening Multiple Objects at the same time
Hello All --- I am using a custom tween class (SuperEase) I found online to tween objects. However, I have run into a situation where I need to have two objects start tweening at the same time. The SuperEase class does not allow for this functionality. I can tween both objectives sequentially (one starts after the other has started) however this produces a noticeable lag between the 2 objects. I have tried to resolve it by changing the # of frames / seconds, but this is somewhat tedious to match up between the 2 objects. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to resolve this issue so that the 2 objects start tweening simultaneously? Any suggestions on an alternate class?

[Flashcoders] Extending Array Question
I have created a Class that extends Array, called ArrayExtension. The only way
that I have found to add
values to this is array is in the following manner:
---
// CODE
import com.ArrayExtension
var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(Hello,GoodBye,World)
//CLASS
class com.ArrayExtension extends Array
{
public function ArrayExtension()
{
super()
for(var i=0; i arguments.length; i++)
push(arguments[i])
}
}
---
The problem I am running into is if I want to add values to the array after
initializing it, I get an error message.
Here is an example:
---
var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension;
myArray = [Hello,GoodBye,World]
---
How can I add values to the array without generating an error?
Thanks for any and all replies.

[Flashcoders] RE:Flashcoders] Extending Array Question
Thanks, that will work. So there is no definitive way to add the values all at once, i.e. [1,4,5,76,3] when extending an Array? Thanks again. Ian Thomasn wrote: Hi there (whoever you are!) Your problem is that the [1,2,3] initialiser syntax is actually a short cut for creating a new Array() object, not an ArrayExtension(). So you're replacing the object you just created with new(). What you need to do is to _modify_ your ArrayExtension() object, not replace it. If you try: var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(); myArray.push(Hello); myArray.push(Goodbye); myArray.push(World); That should sort your problem.

RE:[Flashcoders] dispatching events at creation time?
A little late in the (reply) game, but you could try:
MovieClip.prototype.onConstruct = function()
{
trace(created)
}
This will be called anytime a new clip is created. You could, however, weed out
the unwanted dispatching of events, by dispatching based upon the name of the
clip created, i.e.:
MovieClip.prototype.onConstruct = function()
{
if(this._name == myMC){
trace(created)
}
}
Hope that helps.

when I instantiate this class everything works except the dispatchEvent
in the constructor of the class. Why and how can I do to force an object

RE:[Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview problems
Thanks for the reply. I am using UIComponent. The code that is in the live
preview fla is:
[code]
function onUpdate() {
pushBtn.buttonText_txt.text = xch.btnLabel;
}
[/code]
The strange thing is that in the component's FLA I can drag as many instances
from the library on the stage and it works fine. Once I convert it to SWC, the
problems start. I did trace out the the xch properties, but I couldn't seem to
find the component's name.
I did read the other replies to my post and looks like it is somewhat of a
flawed design and it has to be hacked to get it to work properly.
Thanks for the assistance.

Do you subclass UIComponent or just MovieClip?
What code do you use for onUpdate?
Try to trace components names etc while in live preview.

RE:[Flashcoders] Tell me more about _global
I am using _global variables throught my FLAs, probably because I haven't really been exposed to the negatives of using them, thus not really knowing any better. I am interested in conforming to better 'design' standards and am familiar with the Singleton Design Pattern. Any chance you could provide an example of how _global variables might be stored in a class for retrieval and a later time. Thanks. Nathan Derksen nderksen at sfu.ca wrote: I generally keep at least one singleton class which is responsible for storing global properties. I make those properties accessible with getters and setters so that I can allow changes in those properties to trigger events. You can't really do that if you use _global to store your data. Also, there is always a risk in name space collision if you load in other elements that also use global, where one or more variables use the same name and are thus inadvertently shared for different uses. You definitely do not want to use _global within any classes that you create, as that can cause entanglement, gives you no private protection, and does not properly contain your code into a well-defined unit with a well-defined API.

[Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview ~ problems
Hello All --- I posted this on FlashNewbie and didn't have much luck getting it resolved. I also found a number of posts on Actionscript.org referencing this same problem, but I couldn't find any solutions, so I thought I would try here. I created a custom button component with live preview enabled for the label. The live preview works great with only one button component on stage. However, if I put another instance of my btn component on stage, both btn components are updated to the most recent component's label. Both buttons have different instance names. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks for any and all replies. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
