Re: [Flashcoders] Drop Shadow Rendering Issue
You should approach drop shadows in Flash the same way you do in Photoshop (or similar). It's allways best to put your shadow in a separate layer if you want to tweek it, move it, distort it, etc ...

Yes, .NET web applications running on MS can be consumed from any platform, But I believe the point he was making was regarding Avalon apps. Isn't Avalon for developing desktop apps? That is the point I was talking about. Apps for Avalon may be delivered as desktop apps or as web apps, through IE7. Avalon apps may be delivered to any platform that has IE7 and the runtime, which should be available for Win, OSX, and probably some flavors of linux. So, no, it's not just for desktop apps, and not just for Windows. In fact, according to their marketing materials, it doesn't even have to be served from IIS. ryanm ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Drop Shadow Rendering Issue
I have a MovieClip, lets call it "mc_holder" that I am creating, drawing a rectangle in, and then applying a dropshadow filter.. Inside "mc_holder", I am creating an "image_holder" MC, inside of which I am creating several MC's, each of which is having an Image Loaded into it When the images load, the drop shadow filter on their ultimate parent "mc_holder" seems to want to render around them, producing some very nasty background colored borders/bars and some shadow rendering. Resizing the swf in the test window causes a redraw that draws correctly. I can simply dedicate an MC to just the dropShadow, but I was wondering if anyone had a nicer fix for this... mc_holder.filters = [new DropShadowFilter (2, 45, "0x00", 100, 10, 10, 2, 2, true, false, false)]; ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I solved this by just embedding the font in a dynamic box ad deleting from the lib., also sometimes you need the reiterate say if you are using a textformat or a style, say you pull the text from an object when you roll over a mc, after you set the text, you also need to re specify the format or style.

[Flashcoders] JIT in 8.5, this sounds good and promissing
Hey, Mike Chambers posted this nice video about Kevin Lynchs Session at Web2.0. http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mesh/archives/2005/10/video_of_kevin.cfm Thanks. Kevin Lynch seems to mention that the future version of the player will support JIT (Just in time compiler). Does this mean that well be able to load .as files? Will we even be able to create AS2(3) Classes code on the fly in a String and run it all from within our environment as if it was a Class that was compiled!? The sound of Binary sockets also makes me drool! Best Regards, Fredz./ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie woes
I am attaching the dots at a position well within the area of the target movieClip. Also, the dots MUST be loaded into this MC because the MC will be programmatically scaled up and moved, and the red dots need to grow and move with it. I just need to know why the width and height of the MC is getting messed up. There's no good visible reason.

Thus the result is the target movieclip is now bigger. It might be better if you attached the dots to the parent of the target clip. That way you are not changing the target clip.

RE: [Flashcoders] calling all accessibility gurus
That's the expected behavior. Unfortunately, you can't take control over focus management from the screen reader or force the screen reader to read something. In fact, if you shift focus with ActionScript using Selection.setFocus(), JAWS will ignore the command and try to keep the focus where it was on the page. A JAWS user would probably understand how to refresh the page using Insert + Enter or how to go the top using Page Up. By the way, it's impressive that you've discovered Microsoft's MSAA tools for debugging your Flash apps. They help a lot!

I'm just starting a project that requires accessibility from a screen reader. I'm testing Jaws version 4.5 and 7, IE6 and flash player 7 on winXP pro. I'm having trouble creating the most simple working example. I've setup a movie with 2 frames and some textfields on each frame, and a movieclip button to move between the frames. I've specified the tabindexes for all items and setup the accessibility properties for everything as well. When the movie loads, everything works as expected - Jaws reads through the contents of the page. When I move to the next frame Jaws doesn't start reading the content automatically. As the screen had been refreshed I was led to believe that Jaws would start reading the screen again from the top. I checked out what MSSA was seeing with microsofts accessibility explorer and everything seems to be ok. Whilst I'm on the second frame if I use the up and down cursor keys Jaws will read each of my text fields but it seems to start with it's focus at the bottom of the page at around the same point as the button on the previous frame. Is this expected behavior? any help or advice would be very gratefully received. thanks, adam ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Fonts not rendered in loaded movie
I'm having an issue where embedded fonts work in my SWF fine, but when I load the SWF into another one, they are no longer visible. Apparently, I can trace the fields out, so I know they have text in them. I remember reading about this issue back in Flash 5. Apparently, if your movie's textfields uses embeded fonts, you need to ensure on _level0, you have a textfield, physically on the stage, that has the the font in question embedded. However, I think this only applied to SharedLibraries. I've tried putting textfields, both static and dynamic on both _root's, embedded the symbols, tried font symbols and not, and done the same thing in both movies... but they won't display. ??? --JesterXL ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] I.E. Security Alert When Playing Flash Locally
This alert pops up when I use I.E. to locally play the html and .swf that Flash publishes: "! Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly. OK" If I put this on a web server, it plays fine. It also works locally in Netscape 4.71. Is this a result of security restrictions in Flash 8?

[Flashcoders] damn trouble: if loop dont go at first condition
Description:
I have some instances of a mc, with inside a button; the button have the
code below:
on (rollOver) {
_root.blinker.myclip = this.arrow;
_root.blinker.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.name = this._name; // NOTICE THIS
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.blinker.gotoAndStop(1);
my_color = new Color(this.arrow);
my_color.setRGB(0xFF);
}
on (release) {
if (_root.name == "blu1") { // NOTICE THIS
my_color = new Color(_root.backpop.ptit.backtit);
my_color.setRGB(0x0066FF);
my_color = new Color(_root.blu1.backpops);
my_color.setRGB(0x66);
_root.numero2 = _root.numero+1;
var goto = _root.numero2;
} else if (_root.name == "red1") {
my_color = new Color(_root.backpop.ptit.backtit);
my_color.setRGB(0x00CCFF);
my_color = new Color(_root.red1.backpops);
my_color.setRGB(0x016FA9);
_root.numero2 = _root.numero+2;
var goto = _root.numero2;
} else if (_root.name == "yellow1") {
my_color = new Color(_root.backpop.ptit.backtit);
my_color.setRGB(0x00CC33);
my_color = new Color(_root.yellow1.backpops);
my_color.setRGB(0x028301);
_root.numero2 = _root.numero+3;
var goto = _root.numero2;
} else if (_root.name == "blu2") {
my_color = new Color(_root.backpop.ptit.backtit);
my_color.setRGB(0xFFCC00);
my_color = new Color(_root.blu2.backpops);
my_color.setRGB(0x838201);
_root.numero2 = _root.numero+4;
var goto = _root.numero2;
} else if (_root.name == "red2") {
my_color = new Color(_root.backpop.ptit.backtit);
my_color.setRGB(0xFF);
my_color = new Color(_root.red2.backpops);
my_color.setRGB(0x99);
_root.numero2 = _root.numero+5;
var goto = _root.numero2;
}
_root.push(goto);
}
on the stage, there is a dynamic textfield, called 'name'.
When the cursor go over the button, the textfield display the instance name
of mc; this work fine.
But when the button is clicked, the action have a strange behavior. As you
can see in the code above, the first two actions that start onRelease are
two color change of mc. Well, the strange is that, any mc I try to click
first, just the second color change work (target: another mc inside the
clicked mc), while the first not. When I click on another mc, ALL work fine.
I.e., if the instance of mc on stage are:
blu1
red1
yellow1
blu2
red2
If I click, i.e., on 'red1', the action target to mc
_root.backpop.ptit.backtit don't work; but if click again, now on 'yellow1'
i.e., both the change color action work!
What about?
