[Flashcoders] A v2 Window with a Checkbox and a Button

2007-01-17 Thread Alexander Farber 

Hi,

I've drawn a red rectangle, then pulled a v2 Checkbox and
a Button inside of it, named them my_checkbox and my_button
and then converted all of that into a MovieClip which I called
Settings and removed from the stage.

Finally I've pulled a Window on the stage and called it my_win.

While I'm able to resize the my_win in its complete event,
I can't find the way to change the labels of the checkbox and
the button programmatically:

import mx.containers.Window;

var my_win:Window;
my_win.contentPath = 'Settings';

function complete(evt_obj:Object){
   var metr_obj:Object = my_win.getViewMetrics();
   my_win.setSize(my_win.content._width + metr_obj.left + metr_obj.right,
  my_win.content._height + metr_obj.top + metr_obj.bottom);

   my_win.content.my_checkbox.label = 'Green';
   my_win.content.my_button.label = 'Save';
}
my_win.addEventListener('complete', this);

And if I try to use an object casting:

   var my_set:Settings = Settings(my_win.content);
   my_set.label = 'Green';
   my_set.label = 'Save';

then I get this misterious error message:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Actions, frame=1:Line 17:
The class or interface 'Settings' could not be loaded.
   var my_set:Settings = Settings(my_win.content);

I feel that I've done my homework by rereading the Flash8
help on the Window component and the nice book Advanced
ActionScript Components: Mastering the Flash Component
Architecture, but I'm still missing something... Any help please?

The test case source code is here:

So, you have a symbol in your library with a  linkage identifier of 
Settings. Does this symbol also have the name of your class that is 
supporting the symbol? This class would be called Settings also.

Looked at this for about 15 min. and for some reason neither component is 
available for me to change. Strange...

Hello Thomas,

is your question related to the error message:


**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Actions, frame=1:Line 17:
The class or interface 'Settings' could not be loaded.
   var my_set:Settings = Settings(my_win.content);


after me trying the object casting? No I don't have a Settings.as

Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] A v2 Window with a Checkbox and a Button

2007-01-17 Thread Muzak 
The checkbox and button aren't ready (initialized) by the time the Window 
complete event is triggered.

To found out when the Settings movieclip is ready, attach a class to the 
movieclip (call it Settings), which extends the MovieClip 
class.
Define an onLoad method and dispatch an event.

import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class Settings extends MovieClip {
 private static var dispatcherInit = 
EventDispatcher.initialize(Object(Settings));
 // EventDispatcher methods
 public var dispatchEvent:Function;
 public var addEventListener:Function;
 public var removeEventListener:Function;
 //=
 // CONSTRUCTOR
 //=
 function Settings() {
  trace(Settings ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
 }
 //=
 // PRIVATE METHODS
 //=
 private function onLoad() {
  trace(Settings ::: onLoad);
  this.dispatchEvent({type:ready});
 }
}

And use the following in the main timeline to achieve what you want:

import mx.containers.Window;
var my_win:Window;
this.my_win.contentPath = 'Settings';

// window content ready event handler
function ready(o:Object) {
 trace(Application ::: ready);
 this.my_win.content.my_checkbox.label = 'Green';
 this.my_win.content.my_button.label = 'Save';
}

// window complete event handler
function complete(o:Object) {
 trace(Application ::: complete);
 var m:Object = this.my_win.getViewMetrics();
 var content = this.my_win.content;
 // listen for ready event on window content
 this.my_win.content.addEventListener(ready, this);
 this.my_win.setSize(content._width+m.left+m.right, 
content._height+m.top+m.bottom);
}

this.my_win.addEventListener(complete, this);

regards,
Muzak

Hi Muzak,

Shouldn't the EventDispatcher.initialize() apply to the prototype of a 
class?

The checkbox and button aren't ready (initialized) by the time the Window 
complete event is triggered.

To found out when the Settings movieclip is ready, attach a class to the movieclip (call it Settings), which extends the MovieClip 
class.

Define an onLoad method and dispatch an event.

import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class Settings extends MovieClip {
   // private static var dispatcherInit = 
EventDispatcher.initialize(Object(Settings));
  private static var dispatcherInit = 
EventDispatcher.initialize(Settings.prototype);

 // EventDispatcher methods
 public var dispatchEvent:Function;
 public var addEventListener:Function;
 public var removeEventListener:Function;
 //=
 // CONSTRUCTOR
 //=
 function Settings() {
  trace(Settings ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
 }
 //=
 // PRIVATE METHODS
 //=
 private function onLoad() {
  trace(Settings ::: onLoad);
  this.dispatchEvent({type:ready});
 }
}

Yup, it should.. Thanx for spotting that ;-)

private static var dispatcherInit = 
EventDispatcher.initialize(Settings.prototype);
