Re: [Flashcoders] Photoshop CS3 breaks Flash development workflow
Hi Francis, i'm always looking for workflow time-saving techniques, and yours is really great thanx a lot Gilles Le 8 sept. 07 à 17:22, Francis Turmel a écrit : Hey Steven, you can always go another route to have the same result. At the bottom of the History palette, there's a button called Create new document from current state. You could use this and then flatten the image. I'm not sure if you're using this action to export to PNG/JPG, but I've been using an action to do this that I'd like to share, it's been incredibly useful for me. I've mapped it to F2, so I can just set the desired selection and hit the shortcut. 1. Create new document from current state 2. Crop (it will remember the previous selection) 3. save (with prompt) 4. close (no save) Try it out here: http://www.nectere.ca/ps_actions.zip F3 is mapped to the same behavior, but it also expands the canvas with an additional 2 pixels transparent border ( oldschool bitmap shift fix ). ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CMS
Hello Corban, I've been working on such a CMS for 2 years now, but i haven't yet totally finished (no doc, code optimisation not done, etc...) As for today, this CMS lacks a 'creation' module, i.e. I generate by hand the first site with chapters, subchapters,etc as a 'template'. Then everything is editable. The CMS doesn't require database, just PHP. If you're interested, i can provide links and access to test sites.

var obj2:Object = {a:0,b:1,c:[0,1,2],d:[{x:0,y:10},{x:10,y:0}]}

Re: [Flashcoders] Init generic clip
Hello Jiri,
do you absolutely have to use an enterFrame function ?
you can write an init function like this :
function init
(myMc:MovieClip,myLabel:String,mySize:Number,hasIcon:Boolean) {
myMc.setLabel(myLabel);
myMc.setSize(mySize);
myMc.setIcon(hasIcon);
}
init(toto_mc);
This function won't make your movie flick.
Hope this helps,
Gilles

Hello list,
I have made a very simpele MovieClip that functions as a generic
button,
this is clip 'gen_btn_mc'.
For the designers it is important that I place the gen_btn_mc on stage
and not attach it at runtime. The gen_btn_mc clip itself has a few
functions on the 1st frame of its timeline, these are:
setLabel()
setSize()
setIcon()
Because the button is place on stage during authortime, it seems the
functions of the gen_btn_mc can only be called after one
'onEnterFrame'
because it seems the functions are 'undefined' otherwise.
EXAMPLE
clipInstance0 is set on stage timeline. Then on the stage timeline I
have to put this code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
clipInstance0.setLabel('hello world')
clipInstance0.setSize(200)
clipInstance0.setIcon(true)
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
This makes the clip flicker, and it is clearly being set, becuase
of the
one onEnterFrame loop.
QUESTION
Is there a way I can overcome this init. problem WITHOUT attaching the
clip at runtime?
Many thanks.
Jiri

Re: [Flashcoders] Weird removeMovieClip problem
Hi Eric,
i often got the same problem, which I usually resolve with these
basic rules :
- when creating MCs inside a loop, first create an empty movieClip
before the loop to contain the other clips :
var containerMc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip
(containerMc, 10);
for (var i=0;i3;i++)
{
var clip:MovieClip = containerMc.attachMovie()
}
then, when you need to remove them, juste invoke
containerMc.removeMovieClip();
- do not use getNextHighestDepth()
- keep on _root a manageable array of attached MCs
- do not attach on _root.
The weird thing is, using your script on an almost empty movie, the
removeMovieClip method works allright...
maybe you can try using _level0 instead of _root, or try the
container trick above.
Hope this helps,
Gilles

I am attaching 3 movieclips, then later need to remove them. No
dice. This
seems SO noob, but its not happening:
for( var i=0; i3; i++)
{
var clip:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie( object_3D,
object_3D_ + i,
i+40 );
// other normal stuff
}
then later I run this function:
killCamera = function():Void
{
for( var i=0; i3; i++ )
{
_root[object_3D_+i].removeMovieClip(); //Does
nothing... clips
remain
}
// Hmm... lets try this make sure they are really there:
for (prop in _root)
{
if( typeof( _root[prop] ) == movieclip )
{
if( _root[prop]._name.indexOf(object_3D) != -1 )
{
trace( _root[prop]._name ); // traces the
instance
name just fine...
_root[prop].removeMovieClip(); // Does nothing...
}
}
}
};
These freaking clips stick around for some reason. ???
