Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-03-08 Thread Tyler Wright 
I have a DepthManager that will take care of this. It adds the .swapDepths()
method to TextField and Button. More specifically, it replaces the
MovieClip.removeMovie() and TextField.removeTextField() methods so that they
work at whatever depth.

The DepthManager is self-instantiating, but you have to refer to is
somewhere in your code or Flash won't include it when you publish. So
instead of just doing an import (which doesn't force the class to be
included) you can refer to it directly: var dmClass =
xt.core.managers.DepthManager;

These methods aren't dirty, they're just necessary to overcome some of
Flash's shortcommings.
See http://codext.com/code/6

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-03-01 Thread Serge 

Accidentally discovered a workaround:

although you could not apply swapDepth to textField directly, you could do 
it with help of mc dummy:


//text_txt - text field on a timeline
var newTFdepth = 1;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(dummy, newTFdepth);

trace(1 t: + text_txt.getDepth())//traced: -16383
trace(1 mc: + mc.getDepth())   //traces: 1

var oldTFdepth = text_txt.getDepth();
mc.swapDepths( oldTFdepth );

trace(2 t: + text_txt.getDepth());//traces: 1
trace(2 mc: + mc.getDepth());//traced: -16383

Hello everyone,

I'm using .swapDepths() on a textfield on the stage,
that was not created dynamically, but was placed there
from iside the Flash IDE.

It's depth doesn't change and it remains negative.

Is this how it should work?

Thanks,

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-02-10 Thread Dimitrios Bendilas 

Right, this is not what I'm trying to achieve. The issue
is only for textfields, not movieclips.

I finally managed to find a workaround that works.
I used the TextField.prototype.swapDepths = MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths;
approach and it worked great!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and discussion.

Regards,
Dimitrios

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-02-09 Thread Dimitrios Bendilas 

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately this is not an option. So, I thought I'd create a dynamic 
textfield
in the depth I want, copy all properties from the original textfield to the 
new one
and set .text =  for the original textfield (unfortunately removeMovieClip 
doesn't work either).


I'm having some trouble making an exact duplicate of the first field, but I 
think I'll manage it.


Thanks again.

Regards,
Dimitrios

Dimitirios,

Have you considered loading a blank movieclip into the textfields depth 
then removing the movieclip?  Loading the mc into that depths should 
clear that depth then removing the mc should clear that memory

RE: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-02-09 Thread Francis Cheng 
A couple corrections:

1. Use  instead of || in the if conditional statement
2. In the else block, change in identifier to a name that isn't a
keyword (e.g. tempInst).

function removeMofo(mc)
{
var theD = mc.getDepth();
if ( theD  -1theD  1048576)
{
mc.removeMovieClip();
}
else
{
var tempInst = mc._parent.getInstanceAtDepth(100);
mc.swapDepths(100);
mc.removeMovieClip();
if ( tempInst != null)
{
// put it back
tempInst.swapDepths ( 100 );
}
}
}

 someone posted a function the other day on here that means you can

 WOW!
 
 I never knew Flash would not remove _mcs with negative depth.  I just
 tried it and it and it won't work.  I guess you learn something new
 every day.

 _mc.onPress = function(){

 this.removeMovieClip();

Although you can put mc's in depths higher than 1048575, you cannot
remove them, just like negative depths, so you have to use that as the
ceiling.

if ( theD  -1theD  1048576)

Is there ever a case where theD would be higher that -1 and not lower
than 1048576? Seems to me the extra comparison isn't even necessary.
