[Flashcoders] [AS3] optional parameters - sans defaults for Boolean/Number/int

I'm trying to create typed functions using optional parameters sans the defaults. I'm finding String to be the only thing that allows for null to be passed. Is there a way to extend that functionality to other types like; Numbers, Booleans, and/or ints? NOTE : I am aware of ...rest and passing an

Hi, You can have * to specify any parameter: function myFunc(param1:Boolean, param2:*); Matthew Houliston wrote: don't you mean function test2 ( a:Boolean = false ) { trace( a: + ( a == true ) ); } ? A Boolean is never null. var b:Boolean; trace(b);

[Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate a clip with an externally loaded image in it. Function duplicateMovieClip does not work for movieclips with content loaded using MovieClip.loadMovie() or the MovieClipLoader and I'm stucked and confused on how to proceed. Also, is it possible

Re: [Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image

Stathis, No, in AS2 you can't duplicate loaded content using duplicateMovieClip. Your choices are: - to load each image again, every time you need it (isn't as slow/bad as it sounds - the cache speeds it up dramatically) - to duplicate the image by storing/copying loaded images's BitmapData -

RE: [Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image

I hadn't thought using BitmapData, I 'll give it a try. As for loading images twice, if this is the only way then I'll have to walk it! Many thanks Ian! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 1:23 PM

RE: [Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image

Stathis, Create a class that deals with the loading of images. Once that image has been loaded you can create a bitmapdata of that image and then distribute it as many times as you want. I have used this method several times and have built classes to deal with it. If you need some class files

Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

Theodore, How was holder_lesson created? If it has been scaled up from some other mc, the loaded movie will also be scaled up. Best to use a non-scaled clip as a holder. AS2 example: this.createEmptyMovieClip(holder_lesson,this.getNextHighestDepth()); holder_lesson._x = 10; // or wherever

Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

And if you are loading it into a clip that you've set _xscale + _yscale on, the movie replaces those properties when it's loaded. loadMovie essentially replaces the movie it's called from, wiping its properties. On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 1:28 PM, Marc Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Theodore,

Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

Yes, my apologies. I guess I was mixing up dynamic properties with the standard properties. Dynamic properties do get wiped, but standard ones are preserved, as Marc states. loader2.idiot = jonathan; loader2.onRelease = function(){ this.loadMovie(circle.swf); } // then once it is loaded

Re: [Flashcoders] Border color change of UILoader

Scrap focusRectSkin :) You can just add a border Sprite to the UILoader and toggle its alpha on mouse up/down. A quick example: public class Main extends Sprite { public function Main():void { var ldr:UILoader = new UILoader(); with(ldr){
