[Flashcoders] ComboBox label issue

[Creighton, Gerry]

I’m having a problem properly displaying the font name and variant in a 
combobox.
I have fonts embedded in my swf and am exporting for AS.
I have a ComboBox that I’m populating from an enumerated font array like so...
code

fontArray = Font.enumerateFonts(false);//using false only enumerates embedded 
fonts
fontArray.sortOn(fontName,Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
_fontDP = new DataProvider(fontArray);

FontCB.dataProvider = _fontDP;

//when I set up the FontCB I set the labelField like so...
FontCB.labelField = fontName;
/code

When the ComboBox is opened the display names for the fonts only show the main 
name of the font and not
each variant (shown below). When I publish and select to “Generate Size Report” 
I get all of the proper font names  variants.
How can I get the proper font names to display properly.

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox label issue

[Peter Ginneberge]

If you want to display both the fontName and fontStyle, define a labelFunction 
for the combobox.

function setLabel(item:Object):String {
var fnt:Font = item as Font;
return fnt.fontName +  ( + fnt.fontStyle + );
}

font_cb.labelFunction = setLabel;

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hey Glen,
Thanks for that, but I am not using a class in this case to get the  
items, just a function.
Maybe I should be, but I could never figure out how to use classes  
and there may lie-in the problem.

Think Flash 8. :) Sorry if that hurts a little..

Here is what I have //shortened

AS2 Code:::
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
import mx.utils.Delegate;

var thumbHolder:Object = new Object();
var picBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var colorBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();

var picturesArry = [];
var colorHolder = [];

//Code for loading above arrays not included, but they load fine.

var pr:Number = -1;

function loadItems() {
if (pr  (numimages - 1)) {
pr++;
thumbHolder = attachMovie(Affiliate_MC, Affiliate_MC + pr, 
pr);
thumbHolder.ID = pr;
var parentID = thumbHolder.ID;
thumbHolder.LoadVars(parentID);
thumbHolder._x = 0;
thumbHolder._y = pr * spacing;
		picBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(picture_box, picture_box,  
thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());

picBox._width = 192;
picBox._height = 152;
picBox._x = 14;
picBox._y = 11;
		colorBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(FComboBoxSymbol, os1_ + pr,  
thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());

colorBox._width = 100;
colorBox._height = 17;
colorBox._x = 264;
colorBox._y = 110;
colorBox.enabled = true;
thumbHolder.pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(thumbHolder.pic,0);
var Colors:Array = new Array({label:Choose Color, data:});
colorBox.rowCount = colorHolder[pr].length;
// populate dataProvider
var colorBoxLength:Number = Colors.length;
for (n = 0; n  colorHolder[pr].length; n++) {
Colors.push({label:colorHolder[pr][n], 
data:colorHolder[pr][n]});
colorBoxLength++;
}
// set dropdown list
colorBox.setDataProvider(Colors);
if (colorBoxLength  3) {
colorBox.selectedItem = 1;
} else {
colorBox.selectedItem = 0;
}
var changeObj:Object = new Object();
changeObj = function(evt_obj:Object) {
var num:Number = thumbHolder.ID;
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else if (selectNum  1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
_root.itemSelection_mc.satusTXT.htmlText = ComboBox did not  
change;

}
};
colorBox.addEventListener(changeObj,this);
}
}

I am thinking that I need every colorBox to have its own  
changeObj or
I need to be able to reference the picBox that is inside with that  
colorBox thats being changed.


Structure of a single item is as follows:
Main Stage -
- thumbHolder (Main item MC)
- picBox (preview MC)
- colorBox (comboBox selection for this item)

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Glen Pike]

Have you tried:

colorBox.addEventListener(change, changeObj);

or

colorBox.addEventListener(change Delegate.create(this, changeObj);

I think you got your listener the wrong way around, but might be wrong?

Could it be because I am using the class below?

I think the scope is lost in the colorBox not knowing which picBox to

Hi,

   I think part of the problem is scope, but also your first argument 
to addEventListener should be the event type, not the function that is 
called.


   Did you try the call without Delegate - 
colorBox.addEventListener(change, changeObj);  ?

Hey Glen,
Yes I agree with you on how it should be, but for some reason flash  
allows it the other way.
Yes I did try it the way you suggested when I first started working  
on it.

That is the text book way. that is why I am puzzled.
I went to the source and the source isn't working. plus the whole  
allowance of the malformed event listener. weird.

still doesn't work though..

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Glen Pike]

If you are doing multiple anonymous functions, you might have to use the 
naming convention for the combo boxes and picture boxes - if you  have 
multiple instances of these - so when you get a change event on 
combo1, that's associated with picture_box_1, etc?

Right! How to do that though I guess is my main issue.
I cant assign pr to picBox or colorBox.

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Glen Pike]

I think you can use the _name of the clip to assign pr:

You might even be able to set this as a property on MovieClip as it's 
not a closed class...


I am not sure about ComboBox though - try setting a property ID on it 
like you do with thumbHolder.


From your code though, I can't work out how you are attaching the 
combobox as a valid clip...


Here is what I managed to do by hacking your code to get the combo box 
to trace out the message onChange...


import mx.controls.ComboBox;

var thumbHolder:Object = new Object();
var picBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var colorBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();

var picturesArry = [];
var colorHolder = [];
var spacing:Number = 50;
var numimages:Number = 2;

for(var i = 0;i  numimages;i++) {

If you are doing multiple anonymous functions, you might have to use 
the naming convention for the combo boxes and picture boxes - if you  
have multiple instances of these - so when you get a change event on 
combo1, that's associated with picture_box_1, etc?

Hey Glen,
If it wouldn't be a trouble and I know this may sound odd,
but could you send me a FLA with a combo box in it?
no code, just the component on a blank stage?

I am wondering if its just the combo box component that I have that  
isn't working.

yes, that I stole from your code. :)
that was part of it. my component was not working with

It is a UI component and not a compiled clip. When I copied your

the createClassObject(mx.control.ComboBox  it worked except the first

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Karl DeSaulniers]

I think the problem is that it is nested inside a function loadItem 
(). But not entirely sure.
I am aware that this is not the best practice, so I tried moving it  
out of the function, but to no avail.

I have created the code by the book but it still does not work.
What am I doing wrong here???

Hey Karl.
The issue you are facing is that the function on the comboListen  
object
(comboListen.change) steals your scope - so you don't have any  
access to

all the things you need: picturesArry, thumbHolder etc.

So, you can either, forget creating an object to handle events and  
just

put your change function right there:

function change(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, this);


Or, use the Delegate class to set the correct scope:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = Delegate.create(this, onChange);
function onChange() {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, comboListen);

load into.
colorBox =  the comboBox inside thumbHolder that I want to change
the picture MCs contents with.

FYI, by the time I get to using the listener, [picture_box] has
already been loaded with the first image in the array of pictures.
thumbHolder, colorBox and [picture_box] are dynamically loaded
onto the stage at run time.

How do I get colorBox's selection to change the picture in
thumbHolder[picture_box]?

Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. this is my
third day with this and I'm going crazy.
Is there something I need to import to control the comboBox?

I have
import mx.control.ComboBox;
already imported, do I need it?

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

Are you doing something like the following - you need to use the 
Delegate.create function to attach scope to your event handlers. I 
can't remember if you can pass in the event object or not - try it?


HTH

Glen

import mx.utils.Delegate;

class MyMovieClip extends MovieClip {
private var colorBox:ComboBox;

//...


function stuffHasLoaded():Void {
colorBox.addEventListener(change, Delegate.create(this, change));
}

function change():Void {
trace(Hello from  + this + .change);

var selected:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
//...
}
}

[Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hello List,
Have a little snag on my hands. I am trying to get the value of a  
selected comboBox to change the picture of another MC.


My code:
var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace(evt_obj.selectedIndex);
var selectNum:Number = evt_obj.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = 
picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
};
colorBox.addEventListener(change,comboListen);

thumbHolder = main MC that holds the picture and the comboBox
[picture_box] =  the picture MC inside thumbHolder that I want to  
load into.
colorBox =  the comboBox inside thumbHolder that I want to change the  
picture MCs contents with.


FYI, by the time I get to using the listener, [picture_box] has  
already been loaded with the first image in the array of pictures.
thumbHolder, colorBox and [picture_box] are dynamically loaded onto  
the stage at run time.


How do I get colorBox's selection to change the picture in thumbHolder 
[picture_box]?


Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. this is my third  
day with this and I'm going crazy.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Barry Hannah]

Hey Karl.
The issue you are facing is that the function on the comboListen object
(comboListen.change) steals your scope - so you don't have any access to
all the things you need: picturesArry, thumbHolder etc.

So, you can either, forget creating an object to handle events and just
put your change function right there:

function change(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, this);


Or, use the Delegate class to set the correct scope:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = Delegate.create(this, onChange);
function onChange() {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, comboListen);

Barry.

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Thanks for that Barry. I will test and see.
Thats funny, it seems I was so close at one point.
I had

function comboListen(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(comboListen);

Guess I forgot the this also..
Will let you know if one of these work.
Thanks again,

Karl

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

Hi Keith,

I am a fine, thank you.
I am also just trying to help, and hopefully together we find the answer.

About addChildAt:
My bad...
I made a mistake and did not get the error. I think that's a BUG. Hahaha.

I rebuild a little test and you are right, it throws the error.

But generally spoken, I think a thrown error is not a bug because it tells
you, you are trying to do something impossible with your program.
So thrown errors are your friend!

Kind regards
Cor

 I guess because you set the customCursor in the array position.
 And array positions can be set to any index, and for that matter it can't
 be
 out of range.
 
 stage.addChildAt(customCursor, 100); will try to put the child at index
 hundred.
 Eventually the displayList notices a empty index and will shuffle
 everything
 in place so there is never an empty indexed location.
 The same as when you remove a child for the displayList.
 
 I am not completely sure if this is the correct technical description, but
 from what I have read about the displayList, it figures.
 
 Kind regards
 Cor

  It is not a bug.
  The displayList stores it objects in a Array, wich starts at 0.
  So Array[obj1,obj2,obj3,obj4] has 4 children wich are located at
  position 0, 1, 2, 3.
  If you remove a child every other moves up 1 place.
 
  So stage.numChildren is accordingly out of range.

  Joel,
 
  Another good optimization point, Joel. If we assume that Karim's custom
  cursor is already a child of the stage, then setChildIndex() should be
  more
  efficient. So I guess it depends on the implementation.
 
  Interestingly,
 
  I get a RangeError with this:
 
  stage.setChildIndex(customCursor, stage.numChildren);
 
  but this works:
 
  stage.setChildIndex(customCursor, stage.numChildren - 1);
 
  However,
 
  stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren);
 
  does not trigger the RangeError, and
 
  stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren - 1);
 
  still produces the desired result.
 
  If this is a bug then 'stage.numChildren - 1' would be the safe way to
 go.

   Very nice Keith. Wouldn't setChildIndex() work as well? Or is
  addChildAt()
   better for ensuring that the cursor is added to the display list?

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

[Keith Reinfeld]

Karim, 
 
In light of Joel's comments I'd like to suggest a refinement: 
 
import flash.events.* 
 
function updateCursor(){ 
stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren); 
} 
 
comboBox.dropdown.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onDropdown); 
 
function onDropdown(event:Event){ 
updateCursor(); 
} 
 
Give it a try! I think it works quite well.

 Yeh - this might not work - I already have a similar structure, and as the

 solution for AS3 - but no joy there.

 This might be a bit cumbersome but less processor intensive. Instead of

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

[Joel Stransky]

Very nice Keith. Wouldn't setChildIndex() work as well? Or is addChildAt()
better for ensuring that the cursor is added to the display list?

 Karim,

 In light of Joel's comments I'd like to suggest a refinement:

 import flash.events.*

 function updateCursor(){
 stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren);
 }

 comboBox.dropdown.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onDropdown);

 function onDropdown(event:Event){
updateCursor();
 }

 Give it a try! I think it works quite well.

  Yeh - this might not work - I already have a similar structure, and as
 the

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

[Keith Reinfeld]

Joel, 
 
Another good optimization point, Joel. If we assume that Karim's custom
cursor is already a child of the stage, then setChildIndex() should be more
efficient. So I guess it depends on the implementation. 

Interestingly,
 
I get a RangeError with this: 
 
stage.setChildIndex(customCursor, stage.numChildren); 
 
but this works: 
 
stage.setChildIndex(customCursor, stage.numChildren - 1); 
 
However, 
 
stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren); 
 
does not trigger the RangeError, and 
 
stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren - 1); 
 
still produces the desired result. 
 
If this is a bug then 'stage.numChildren - 1' would be the safe way to go.

It is not a bug.
The displayList stores it objects in a Array, wich starts at 0.
So Array[obj1,obj2,obj3,obj4] has 4 children wich are located at
position 0, 1, 2, 3.
If you remove a child every other moves up 1 place.

So stage.numChildren is accordingly out of range.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

[Cor]

I guess because you set the customCursor in the array position.
And array positions can be set to any index, and for that matter it can't be
out of range.

stage.addChildAt(customCursor, 100); will try to put the child at index
hundred.
Eventually the displayList notices a empty index and will shuffle everything
in place so there is never an empty indexed location.
The same as when you remove a child for the displayList.

I am not completely sure if this is the correct technical description, but
from what I have read about the displayList, it figures.

Kind regards
Cor

It could be seen as a bug. addChildAt tells flash to ADD to the current
number of children. setChildIndex works within the existing children.

Very nice Keith. Wouldn't setChildIndex() work as well? Or is
   addChildAt()
better for ensuring that the cursor is added to the display list?

 It could be seen as a bug. addChildAt tells flash to ADD to the current
 number of children. setChildIndex works within the existing children.

   I guess because you set the customCursor in the array position.
   And array positions can be set to any index, and for that matter it
 can't
   be
   out of range.
  
   stage.addChildAt(customCursor, 100); will try to put the child at
 index
   hundred.
   Eventually the displayList notices a empty index and will shuffle
   everything
   in place so there is never an empty indexed location.
   The same as when you remove a child for the displayList.
  
   I am not completely sure if this is the correct technical description,
  but
   from what I have read about the displayList, it figures.
  
   Kind regards

It is not a bug.
The displayList stores it objects in a Array, wich starts at 0.
So Array[obj1,obj2,obj3,obj4] has 4 children wich are
 located
  at
position 0, 1, 2, 3.
If you remove a child every other moves up 1 place.
   
So stage.numChildren is accordingly out of range.

Joel,
   
Another good optimization point, Joel. If we assume that Karim's
 custom
cursor is already a child of the stage, then setChildIndex() should
 be
more
efficient. So I guess it depends on the implementation.
   
Interestingly,

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

Yeh - this might not work - I already have a similar structure, and as the
ComboBox adds the List to the stage. I tried to find a 'lockRoot' type of
solution for AS3 - but no joy there.

This might be a bit cumbersome but less processor intensive. Instead of
using MOUSE_MOVE, create two Sprites on the stage. One as a content pane and
other as a custom cursor pane. Then add all content including the combo box
to the content pane and the cursor to the cursor pane. I can't say for sure
if the combo box will still display on top but may be worth a shot if you're
big on freeing up resources.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox not dropping down in browser?

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Hi Cor...

I was looking for an example but I don't have one at the moment.  All
you need to do is add an onEnterFrame function somewhere, then within
that function, set the params of the ComboBox instance. The last line of
the onEnterFrame function is to delete onEnterFrame.  The issue is that
V2 components need one frame to initialize themselves, so when you set
your custom params (data, etc.) you are doing it after the ComboBox has
been drawn to the stage.  You could also look into doing it onInit.  I
believe that's an event for the ComboBox but I am not 100% certain at
the moment.  The onEnterFrame function probably shouldn't be on the
ComboBox itself, but maybe in the MovieClip containing the ComboBox
instance.

Hope that helps, let me know if you've got it working.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox not dropping down in browser?

[Karim Beyrouti]

The problem with the drop down not working could be you removing some needed
assets from the styling MovieClips. I suggest if you need to remove some
bits of components you just test a lot and try to set the alpha to 0 from
the palette if you need to remove something... 

As for the fonts - I had some issues. This code worked for me (AS3 FP9):
Note GothamMedium is embedded in the lib.

code

var tClass:Class= getDefinitionByName(GothamMedium) as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);

var tf:TextFormat   = new TextFormat();
tf.font = Gotham Medium;
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;

cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle(embedFonts , true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle(textFormat , tf);
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle(fontFamily , Gotham Medium );
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle(embedFonts , true );

dob_txt.embedFonts = true;
dob_txt.setTextFormat( tf);
StyleManager.setStyle( textFormat , tf)

/code


Hope this helps

It's possible that if your movie is a one frame timeline, you need to
initiate all the ComboBox params after one frame.  I can only speak for
V2 components in AS2, but I have always needed to set up components
after one refresh.

[Flashcoders] combobox still giving grief

[allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com)]

sorry to necro an old thread but i still have a problem

file structure:
one index swf that preloads the main swf
main swf that loads in several different section swfs and masks them in a
frame
the combobox is in one of the masked sections

the issue is this:
i have a combo box that uses an array populated by a loaded xml file as a
dataprovider. It all works just fine apart from that when the combo box is
first opened, the first 'page' of entries doesn't render. If the list is
scrolled or an entry is selected (it's fully populated), the entire list
renders properly, including the entry that's selected.

This happens when the site is viewed on a server and when the file is 'test
movie'd on it's own but it doesn't happen when the index swf is 'test
movie'd or when the site is viewed locally in a browser

The cb uses fonts used throughout the site and they are embedded (i've added
the code for the cb below). It's been suggested that maybe the cb is loaded
before the fonts so that it doesn't get a chance to render properly but i
can't see how that is happeneing  - i've tried added a textfield with the
fonts embedded make sure that that wasn't it (although i haven't added the
fonts to a frame loaded before the cb - i'm trying that now)

the cb is placed manually onstage and has the following code added on the
timeline:

function init():Void {
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlFile = (xmldata != undefined) ? xmldata : PATH();
xml.load(xmlFile);
xml.onData = function (src:String) {
if (src == undefined) {
this.onLoad(false);
} else {
this.parseXML(src);
this.loaded = true;
this.onLoad(true);
parse(); // creates the arrays
}
}

var cBox:Object = {};
cBox.change = function(o:Object):Void
{
//Selection.setFocus(c); // didn't work
//o.target.onKillFocus=undefined; // didn't work
getGeoEvents(
arrayOfUniversitiesNames[mc_university.cb_listOfUniversities.selectedIndex]
); // sends user to correct tab
lock();
}

 // this is the script for the cb
var c:MovieClip = mc_university.cb_listOfUniversities;
c.setStyle(fontFamily, VAG Rounded Light);
c.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
c.addEventListener(change, cBox);
c.dataProvider = arrayOfUniversitiesNames;
c.text = Select;
//Selection.setFocus(c); // didn't work
changeTab(bt_tab);
}

 file structure:
 one index swf that preloads the main swf

 the combobox is in one of the masked sections

 the issue is this:
 i have a combo box that uses an array populated by a loaded xml file as a
 dataprovider. It all works just fine apart from that when the combo box is
 first opened, the first 'page' of entries doesn't render. If the list is
 scrolled or an entry is selected (it's fully populated), the entire list
 renders properly, including the entry that's selected.

 This happens when the site is viewed on a server and when the file is 'test
 movie'd on it's own but it doesn't happen when the index swf is 'test
 movie'd or when the site is viewed locally in a browser

 The cb uses fonts used throughout the site and they are embedded (i've added
 the code for the cb below). It's been suggested that maybe the cb is loaded
 before the fonts so that it doesn't get a chance to render properly but i
 can't see how that is happeneing  - i've tried added a textfield with the
 fonts embedded make sure that that wasn't it (although i haven't added the
 fonts to a frame loaded before the cb - i'm trying that now)

 the cb is placed manually onstage and has the following code added on the
 timeline:

function init():Void {
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlFile = (xmldata != undefined) ? xmldata : PATH();
xml.load(xmlFile);
xml.onData = function (src:String) {
if (src == undefined) {
this.onLoad(false);
} else {
this.parseXML(src);
this.loaded = true;
this.onLoad(true);
parse(); // creates the arrays
}
}

var cBox:Object = {};
cBox.change = function(o:Object):Void
{
//Selection.setFocus(c); // didn't work
//o.target.onKillFocus=undefined; // didn't work

RE : [Flashcoders] combobox still giving grief ...

[S0 F1]

In regards to this part of your question:

---
If the list is scrolled or an entry is selected (it's fully populated), the
entire list renders properly, including the entry that's selected.
---

Can you force or simulate whatever event or function is fired when any of
the above occurs?, before the user actually does anything?

Ah right, that can be annoying indeed.
Did you generate any size reports, while working on the preloader?

 This seems so simple, yet I spent the better part of a day getting this to
 work. I was doing everything exactly right, as far as I could tell.
 Exporting classes on frame 5, instances on-stage in frame 6.

 I'm beginning to appreciate the frustration with V2 components. You'll
 love
 the solution.

 I finally discovered that I was exporting a radio button component on
 frame
 1. The way components interact, that was screwing everything up, and
 neither
 the radio buttons nor the ComboBox were working.

 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Hans.

Yes, I did. I ran the profiler in debug mode. That's when I saw the spike on
the first frame and started digging around.

The ironic thing is that the piece has very little graphics. It's very
code-intensive. It calculates what you need to save for retirement, and uses
some heavy-duty actuarial math, but few graphics.

So, the piece is very light, and the load bar is superfluous on broadband.
Even on a 28.8 modem, it only takes a couple of seconds to load.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

Thanks, Hans. I'll try that. Now that you mention it, there is a warning in

As to ComboBox woes, I have my share of horror stories to share.

[Flashcoders] ComboBox Component and preloader

[Kerry Thompson]

Greetings. This is my first post here--the stuff I'm doing is getting too
complicated for the Newbie list.

I have an app up and running--in alpha, in fact. Now I'm adding a load bar.
Everything is working the way it should, except for the ComboBox components.
It's not showing when it's supposed to. Actually, it's kind of
showing--there's just a little empty square, and the 0th selection text.

What do I need to do with components that is different from Movie Clips?

My movie structure is pretty common:
- preloader code in frame 1
- 6 pages, 5 frames each (all code except preloader is in frame 6, layer
1--the pages are 5 frames so I can see the labels)
- everything I need exported to AS, 1st frame deselected
- in Publish Settings, everything is exported in frame 6
- There is an instance of all mc's and the ComboBox component from the
library in the paste area (off-stage) in frame 6
- The ComboBox does not have a class assigned to it, nor do its instances.
- The ComboBox instances' content, the 50 states, are filled in in the
component inspector, not in code. Their callbacks are set in the frame 6
code.

So, what else do I need to do to get the ComboBox to appear when I want it
to?

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox Component and preloader

[Kerry Thompson]

Sorry, I should have been specific. 

I'm using CS3 on Windows Vista, publishing as F8. Using AS2  AS2
components. Code is almost pure OOP, except for the preloader and a couple
dozen lines in frame 6 where I instantiate some movie clips with my MC
subclass.

Oh, yes--I'm not a novice, so you don't have to be too gentle. I've been
programming for 25 years. It's just some aspects of Flash I'm not yet
familiar with.

 components. Code is almost pure OOP, except for the preloader and a couple
 dozen lines in frame 6 where I instantiate some movie clips with my MC
 subclass.

 Oh, yes--I'm not a novice, so you don't have to be too gentle. I've been
 programming for 25 years. It's just some aspects of Flash I'm not yet
 familiar with.

  Subject: [Flashcoders] ComboBox Component and preloader
 
  Greetings. This is my first post here--the stuff I'm doing is getting
 too
  complicated for the Newbie list.
 
  I have an app up and running--in alpha, in fact. Now I'm adding a load
 bar.
  Everything is working the way it should, except for the ComboBox
 components.
  It's not showing when it's supposed to. Actually, it's kind of
  showing--there's just a little empty square, and the 0th selection text.
 
  What do I need to do with components that is different from Movie Clips?
 
  My movie structure is pretty common:
  - preloader code in frame 1
  - 6 pages, 5 frames each (all code except preloader is in frame 6, layer
  1--the pages are 5 frames so I can see the labels)
  - everything I need exported to AS, 1st frame deselected
  - in Publish Settings, everything is exported in frame 6
  - There is an instance of all mc's and the ComboBox component from the
  library in the paste area (off-stage) in frame 6
  - The ComboBox does not have a class assigned to it, nor do its
 instances.
  - The ComboBox instances' content, the 50 states, are filled in in the
  component inspector, not in code. Their callbacks are set in the frame 6
  code.
 
  So, what else do I need to do to get the ComboBox to appear when I want
 it
  to?
 
  Cordially,
 
  Kerry Thompson

[Flashcoders] combobox class object not showing starting value

[Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle)]

thanks for all your help today guys

last question (for today :D  )

i've loaded an array (including a starting value) into a combo box  
that was made using createClassObject in actionscript and it works  
fine (drop down has the full list of values, including the starting  
one) except that nothing ever appears in the 'up' state.


var comboInit:Object = new Object();
var sizes:Array = [{thisSize: choose one}];
for (var i:Number = 0; i  productArray[product].sizes.length; i++) {
sizes.push ({thisSize:productArray[product].sizes[i]});
}
comboInit._y = 450;
comboInit._x = 500;
comboInit.dataProvider = sizes;
comboInit.labelField = thisSize;
createClassObject(ComboBox, variationCombo, 5004, comboInit);

did i not do something correctly?

hope you can help

[Flashcoders] Combobox embed fonts PC/Mac problem

[Chip Moeser]

We are having an cross platform issue when trying to embed fonts using 
the combobox and set style.


When we publish on a mac with:
myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
the fonts show up embedded on a mac but not a pc.

When we publish with (minus quotes around true):
myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
The fonts show up embedded on the pc but not the mac.

Have also tried using both lines, the later always cancels out the 
previous. Has anyone run into this issue before?

Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Combobox embed fonts PC/Mac problem

[Chip Moeser]

Keith,
Thanks, but this didn't work. Since we will always be doing our final 
compile on a mac and embedding takes place at compile time checking the 
version of the machine wouldn't really make a difference. I think we may 
just end up building our own combo box.

Re: [Flashcoders] Combobox embed fonts PC/Mac problem

[James Dean]

i've not used setStyle with a combo box... but i have had some
experience with embedding fonts. I'm not saying this is the best
practice, but it is one that has worked for me in the past. remove the
embedFonts line. somewhere on the stage create a dynamic text field,
set to the font you want. embed the glyphs you want, and use that font
for the combobox.

practice, but it is one that has worked for me in the past. remove the
embedFonts line. somewhere on the stage create a dynamic text field,
set to the font you want. embed the glyphs you want, and use that font
for the combobox.

Keith,
Thanks, but this didn't work. Since we will always be doing our final
compile on a mac and embedding takes place at compile time checking the
version of the machine wouldn't really make a difference. I think we may
just end up building our own combo box.

 Chip,

 Try this:

 // check the Flash Player version

 trace(System.capabilities.version);
 var OS:String = System.capabilities.version.substring(0,3);
 trace(OS = +OS);
 if(OS == WIN){
   trace(Windows);
   myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);

 if(OS == MAC){
   trace(MAC);
   myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
 }
 if(OS == UNI){
   trace(UNI);
   myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);// OR WHATEVER WORKS 
HERE

 }

 From LiveDocs:

 The format of the version number is: platform majorVersion, 
minorVersion,
 buildNumber, internalBuildNumber. Possible values for platform are 
WIN,

 MAC, and UNIX. Some examples:

 WIN 8,0,22,0
 MAC 7,0,25,0
 UNIX 5,0,55,0

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Combobox embed fonts PC/Mac problem

 We are having an cross platform issue when trying to embed fonts using
 the combobox and set style.

 When we publish on a mac with:
 myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
 the fonts show up embedded on a mac but not a pc.

 When we publish with (minus quotes around true):
 myCombobox.setStyle(embedFonts, true);
 The fonts show up embedded on the pc but not the mac.

 Have also tried using both lines, the later always cancels out the
 previous. Has anyone run into this issue before?
 Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] combobox

[ntasky]

Hi,

Had the same problem, solved it by bringing an instance of the combo 
component in the main movie even if th emain movie doesn't use it.
Also, in other cases i had to uses the _lockroot property 
(http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004file=1522.html) 
which works well but be carreful with it cause it doesn't goes right with 
the encapsulation

RE: [Flashcoders] combobox

[Rost, Andrew]

Also, when you load a clip using loadMovieNum, you're loading the SWF
directly into the timeline. When you use loadMovie, you're loading the SWF
into a target clip.

When you load a SWF into a target clip that utilizes components, you'll need
to set _lockroot = true; on the target clip.

var link:MovieClip = this.myClip;
loadMovie(combo.swf, link);
link._lockroot = true;

Hope that helps,
Andrew

[Flashcoders] ComboBox woes

[Trevor Burton]

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with the ComboBox component.



I have a small application that attaches a combobox instance to the stage
via actionscript… I've used _lockroot = true to make sure it works correctly
and all is fine except that I can't seem to access the ListComponent part of
the component. When you open the combo box you see all the names – but
they're in Times New Roman and there's no onRollOver color – I can access
the font face and color and stuff but I can't change the onRollOver to make
it work and guess what? That's exactly what the client wants… any ideas?

[Flashcoders] combobox collapsing sub

[Eskil Janson]

Hi!

I'm using components for an Admin. Have had and overcome all sorts of 
stupid problems with components, like the infamous
_lockroot bug with the ComboBox and the not so well thought depth 
construction of components in _root.


After solving that so that the submenu folds down appropriatley even 
when the CMB is loaded in an external clip,
the little scrollbar that shows in the submenu, when there is not enough 
room in the mc to completely fold the clip,

stops working. ARRGH!

It can now only be manouvered by a mouse with scrollwheel...My client 
don't appreciate this so much, and neiter do I...

Anyone has a clue?
