Re: [Flashcoders] Funny, Code Worked Before...
Ok, I've nailed down where the problem is as to why my silly little *.as file
that worked so well before won't work with minor changes in my latest *.as
file. The problem appears to be that Flash freaks out over different image
files! Here's the code, simplified:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextLineMetrics;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[SWF(backgroundColor=0x565656)]
public class DeJonghPreloader extends MovieClip
{
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
private var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
var imgFlag1:Boolean = new Boolean(false);
public function DeJonghPreloader()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init, false, 0, true);
}
private function init(e:Event)
{
var clientName:TextField = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = 'Arial';
format.size = 35;
clientName.textColor = 0x023048;
clientName.text = 'Delta Electric';
clientName.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
clientName.setTextFormat(format);
var nameSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
nameSprite.x = stage.stageWidth/2 - 70;
nameSprite.y = stage.stageHeight/2 - 40;
nameSprite.alpha = 0;
TweenLite.to(nameSprite, 2, {alpha:1});
addChild(nameSprite);
nameSprite.addChild(clientName);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imageLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest(images/charles.jpg));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
loop);
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
addChild(myTextField);
myTextField.width = 250;
myTextField.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
myTextField.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
myTextField.selectable = false;
myTextField.border = false;
myTextField.borderColor = 0xAA;
myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = 0x023048;
myFormat.size = 24;
myFormat.italic = true;
myTextField.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
}
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
{
imgFlag1 = true;
completePreloader();
}
function completePreloader()
{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('index.py');
navigateToURL(req, '_self');
}
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal;
myTextField.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() + %;
}
}
}
Now, that code works just fine. However, if I change the image from
charles.jpg to left1.png it doesn't work. What breaks? Who knows? If I put
a trace in completePreloader(), it traces, so one would thing that the
URLRequest works, right? Wrong. The page is never sought, witnessed by the fact
that, if charles.jpg is in, an error is traced on my Mac when trying to find
the relative address, but if left1.png is in, no error. Now, it doesn't
matter if it's a png or a jpg, because the original file that works has a
couple pngs as well. I've gone so far as to copy and rename the working files
in the same directory as the originals, prove they work, copy over my images
and change them and watch this code break. So it _is_ the images that are
causing the problem. But why, o why???

[Flashcoders] Funny, Code Worked Before...
Hi;
I have this code:
function completePreloader()
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('index.py'));
trace('yep');
}
that is triggered after all the assets have loaded in the preloader. It prints
the trace. But it doesn't surf to the URL. It just sits there. Also, when I run
the other code that works, which is basically identical, it prints this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
because it can't surf to that relative URL. But my new *.as file doesn't print
that error. Why?
TIA,
John

Re: [Flashcoders] Funny, Code Worked Before...
does it work differently locally vs when uploaded to the server?

Hi John,
No in this case no need to pass the Event.
Try classifying the SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted.
Check for allowScriptAccess=always in the containing document.
You will not be able to navigate the windows _self, _top, or _parent
if the SWF file is contained by an HTML page that has set the
allowScriptAccess to none, or to sameDomain when the domains of the HTML
file and the SWF file do not match.
Check all of these
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Funny, Code Worked Before...
Just a guess as I am not aware of the whole picture:
try this -
function completePreloader(e:Event)
Well, I tried that, but what argument am I supposed to pass? Again, this
doesn't seem to be on track, because this same code works fine with another
*.as file. All I've done is changed this:
private function imageLoaded9(event:Event):void
{
imgFlag9 = true;
if (imgFlag1 == true imgFlag2 == true imgFlag3 == true
imgFlag4 == true imgFlag5 == true imgFlag6 == true imgFlag7 == true
imgFlag8 == true imgFlag9 == true)
{
completePreloader();
}
trace('9');
}
which is called after each image is loaded (in this case the 9th). When all
the images load, then completePreloader() is called, and it gets called
because the trace in the same prints. But for some reason this:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('index.py'));
never gets called. Why??
TIA,
John
as you call this on an event.
Let me know. Also check if your debugger is on.

Hi John, No in this case no need to pass the Event. Try classifying the SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted. Do I really need to go to that length? I have another script without that that works fine. When I run said script on my Mac Pro, since it can't find the relative URL, it throws an error, that the script in question here doesn't throw. If I need to do this, can you suggest how to do this? Check for allowScriptAccess=always in the containing document. I changed it to no avail :( TIA, John ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
