I think I see a problem with this. I don't know how often GarbageCollection runs, but if the loader you create has no references to it, and the only event listener to it is set to have a weakReference, then the loader could get discarded before it finishes, unless the act of loading doesn't allow

You have testInitialize as both a constant value and the name of an event. I would follow this format instead: = Write the custom event: package { import flash.events.Event; public class MyEvent extends Event { public static var

you call the event on the constructor... you add the listener to the event after you make a new instance of that class, so your adding the listener AFTER dispatching the event On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 1:55 PM, Merrill, Jason jason.merr...@bankofamerica.com wrote: You have testInitialize as both

T, What is in this FileList class? Can you just use an Array instead and still transfer the information, say... var files:Array = []; or var files:Array = new Array(); ? you may have to use .push( instead of .addItem( J.A.T. Karl On Jul 9, 2009, at 3:58 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote:

[Flashcoders] styled text disappears when clicked or animated

I have an entire site full of runtime created TextFields. Some are styled with Stylesheet objects, others with TextFormat objects. That all works fine but when it comes time to script some tweens on them or their display parents, the text disappears! Running the .swf by itself locally tends to

I have a similar issue, runtime created Textfields in a scrolling list. If the mouse is within the bounds of the list and I use the scrollwheel to scroll, when the text goes under the cursor it vanishes. I've tried cache as bitmap, didn't work. Any ideas to overcome this annoying little bit of

That's good thinking. I'll have to look into it some more. This one is just hard to test since removeEventListener fails silently if the listener isn't on the targets listener list. On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Ktu ktu_fl...@cataclysmicrewind.comwrote: I think I see a problem with this. I

Can you set the value of the textBox to a variable in the first state and specify while tweening or any other function that the textBox = thatVariable while performing? Might work. That way, while tweening or other, your specifying that the text is the same and loaded. If it was an animation

Re: [Flashcoders] styled text disappears when clicked or animated

2009-07-09 Thread Karl DeSaulniers
The performance hit is when you try and animate or tween anything that is cached as a bitmap. Every time that cached file changes, it has to set it in cache again. If the next frame or state of the text box has not had the text set in it so it can be cached, then it caches an empty text box.

Joel, wondering (seeing as cacheBitmap alone doesn't seem to want to work for me) if adding a subtle filter to text might encourage it to stay put? I'm going to give it a try. Barry. -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com
