[Flashcoders] swf doesn't work the same online
Hi;
I built a swf that works the way I want it in Flash, but when I upload it, it
acts differently! I built buttons in as3 like this:
function nav(nname:String, nurl:String, myX:int, bgcolor:uint):void
{
myfont2 = 'Arial';
mydize = 15;
mytxtcolor = 0x00;
myborder = true;
mybordercolor = 0xFF;
myY = 170;
myfill = 0x97f9ec;
mynav = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = myfont2;
format.size = mysize;
mynav.htmlText = 'a href=' + nurl + '.html' + nname + '/a';
mynav.textColor = myTextColor;
mynav.border = myborder;
mynav.borderColor = mybordercolor;
mynav.background=true;
mynav.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
mynav.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mynav.x = myX;
mynav.y = myY;
mynav.setTextFormat(format);
var navdrop:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();
navdrop.color = 0x00;
navdrop.blurX = 3;
navdrop.blurY = 3;
navdrop.angle = 0;
navdrop.alpha = 0.5;
navdrop.distance = 3;
var navfilters:Array = new Array(navdrop);
mynav.filters = navFiltersArray;
var nsprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.name = nname;
nsprite.addChild(mynav);
var len:int = mynav.numLines;
for (var i:int = 0; i len; i++)
{
var metrics:TextLineMetrics = mynav.getLineMetrics(i);
with(nsprite.graphics)
{
beginFill(myfill, 1);
drawRect(mynav.x, mynav.y, metrics.width + 4,
metrics.height + metrics.descent + 1);
endFill();
}
}
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOutHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPressHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onReleaseHandler);
nsprite.mouseChildren = false;
nsprite.buttonMode = true;
}
function onRollOverHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x97f9ec);
}
}
function onRollOutHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
function onClickHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
mynav.textColor = 0x00;
mynav.borderColor = 0xFF;
}
function onPressHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0xff);
}
}
function onReleaseHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
}
I can't figure out why it doesn't work online like it does in Flash. Online,
it's all broken. Is this common? What should I do?
Thanks,
John

Re: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work the same online
Hi; I built a swf that works the way I want it in Flash, but when I
upload it, it acts differently! I built buttons in as3 like this:
your code is corrupted:
function onRollOutHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
the IF statement is not closed!
cheers,

No, the if statements were closed. I just edited some stuff out and missed
that. The code works perfectly well in the swf in my Flash, and that's what
confuses me.

What's broken about it? I recently had an issue with filters working
differently in the browser than the authoring environment ...

[Flashcoders] swf doesn't work
Hi list... [CS3, dev machine has FP10 installed] I have a swf rendering problem on the pc. Two people are viewing my swf with player 9,0,16,0. When the swf initializes, there are a series of animations that occur where sprites are faded in on the stage. These two people only see the last sprite fade in, without seeing all the other sprites accumulate on the stage. My gut tells me it's a player version issue somehow. I am not sure why they aren't seeing it correctly. I'm publishing for 9, but I'm not sure if it's publishing a 9 build higher than 9,0,16,0. I target 9,0,16 in the html. I'm really puzzled. Thanks for any advice, - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work
Michael, Sometimes things that appear to be player issues turn out to be loader issues. When you first publish for external people, it's often the first time you go over the web AND the first time you get configurations. Can you be sure the app handles the loading of those sprite assets properly, using Test Download and reviewing the code? -jonathan On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Mendelsohn, Michael michael.mendels...@fmglobal.com wrote: Hi list...

RE: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work
Thanks for responding Jonathan. My only external asset is an xml file, and I write a textfield to the stage if there's an IOError. That's not happening, and all other sprites/graphics are within this swf. It seems to me it's more of an ActionScript error, as if each chunk of code wipes out the previous chunk of code and all I'm left with is the last chunk of code. - MM Sometimes things that appear to be player issues turn out to be loader issues.

Re: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work
Hi Michael Keep in mind that Flash CS3 was released in conjunction with Flash Player 9r45 (9,0,45,0). I can't recall all the differences. But there are certain events such as the ADDED_TO_STAGE/REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event that didn't make it in till at least 9r28. I also believe that 9r28 was the first release that supported all the various OSes and processors including Vista, Mac Intel. There were separate releases that added these features/OS support, but if need to set a minimum target for your content then don't go any further back then 9r28 and if you are using any of the Flash CS 3 features and components, you can't reliably support prior to 9r45 (without a lot of compatibility testing).
