RE: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB

[Neil Gibbons]

 
Lol.
The problem seemed to be with my use of the FocusManager.

I was creating an instance of it and passing into "drawing"
functions that were creating the TextInput1 fields:

objFocusManager = new FocusManager();

Then use the nextTabIndex to set fields tabIndex:

txtUsername.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex;
txtPassword.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex;

When I traced this out, I noticed that it always returned 1?

Anyway, I removed the FocusManger and simply added 1,2,3,etc and
evreything appears to be fine now.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fairy dust

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

http://www.thesundancekid.net/code/particles/
http://www.thesundancekid.net/code/particles2/

Basically it's a class I did. It's not exactly fairy dust but the first 
one ("underwater" as I call it in the code) could probably be reversed 
to look like fairy dust.


In my code, for the "water" I use the following values:

velocityX = Math.random()*1 - 0.5;
velocityY = Math.random()*4 - 4.1;
forceY = -0.1;

and perhaps randomizing scale and alpha as well. and then, of course, 
run this code every frame:


velocityY += forceY;
_x += velocityX
_y += velocityY


The "Fountain" code is this:

velocityX = Math.random()*2 - 1;
velocityY = Math.random()*4 - 3;
forceY = 0.3;



But just create a nice particle class and start playing around with it 
yourself. I think the choice of particle (ie the movie clip) makes a big 
difference.


Andreas


I have a quick question, im doing a script that is going to produce fairy
dust, but i cant seem to get the right touch. Does anyone else have 
any good

scripts och tips that they want to share.

For tabbing to work propertly with other v2 components, you don't have



much choice other than extending UIComponent (or any of the

I've said it before, the FocusManager is not one of the best v2

Yes.
I've used FocusManager.nextTabIndex() to set all tabIndexes, but there



the following on screen, (in preferred tab order):

1. A search box at the top
2. Username field
3. Password field
4. A "Login" button
5. A "Register" button

TAB & SHIFT TAB works between the buttons, but only TAB( tabbing 
forward), works on the fields.


All text fields are type TextInput1. If I use the standard TextInput, 
tabbing is fine.

[Flashcoders] dispatching events through a chain of objects

[Jan Schluenzen]

How do you guys handle the following situation:

I have a class, let's say Dog that holds an instance of the class Leg.
Outside of Dog I have another class called Street that holds the dog.
Anyway, now I want street to find out whenever the dog's leg has
moved. The only way I can figure out how to do that is to send the
"move" event of the Leg class first to the holder of the Leg object
(in this case Dog) and then on to the holder of Dog, in this case
Street. I've ran into more complex cases when I've had to hand down
events through several classes...

Is there a common solution to this problem without the need to send
the event from one instance of a class to the next until it reaches
its final destination?

Below an example of what I mean...

class Street {
function Street() {
var myDog = new Dog();
myDog.addEventListener("move", this);
}
function move() {
trace("move event found!");
}
}

class Dog {
private var leg1:Leg;

function Dog() {
leg1 = new Leg();
leg1.addEventListener("move", this);
}
function move() {
dispatchEvent({type:"move"});
}
}

class Leg {

// this event is triggered through some other method of the Leg class.
function move() {
dispatchEvent({type:"move"});
}
}

var blah = new Street();



Thanks,
Jan

What about creation of "event forwarder" method? Something like

function forwardEvent(event:String, target:Object)
{
target[event]();
}

when you pass chain of objects to target. In this case you have to keep 
object references chain but to my mind it's impossible to avoid using of 
 such a chains, method or references.


And then use accessors:

// Dog instance

move("move", 
this.getStreet().getCity().getState().getCountry().getPlanet().getSolarSystem());

FW: [Flashcoders] Ajax and Flash

[Weldon MacDonald]

 
 Amen, but you have to keep up with the abstract discussions in
order to best deal with the real world problems. If you keep forcing new
solutions out of the same mould, your probably not creating the best
solutions.
In many ways Flash and Ajax compete, but Flash can also be an integral part
of Ajax. While Flash has many advantages, handling text rich content isn't
one of them. If your developing something that needs asynchrony for some
elements, but also includes a lot of text, you may have to mix things up. As
you say it depends on the problem.

A lot depends on what "the Ajax paradigm" might be ;-)

I know that Flash and JavaScript have coexisted for about a decade now, and
that both are necessary clientside technologies. Both will also improve and
evolve, at their different rates of adoption and predictability.

In such discussions I usually look for the particular job under
consideration -- the tasks that must be done, the audience that must be
engaged, the client who knows the message they're trying to convey. The
technologies must serve these realworld needs to be useful, so I'm skeptical
of abstract technology discussions, unattached to a realworld need.

[Flashcoders] JSFL and Component Definition

[Dan Wood]

Hi

Is there any way I can set the AS2 class in the component definition of a
symbol via JSFL? I've had a look through the docs and I can only see how to
set the linkageClass. This is not enough for what I'm trying to do
unfortunately.

I'm writing a script which will turn a textfield into a component and need
to have an Inspectable property. Failing this is there another way I can get
a value into the clip?

Thanks

[Flashcoders] blank text bug in v2 components ?

[Gavin Lilley]

I seem to have a problem with v2 components, and I cannot get to the bottom
of the problem.

I have a medium sized app with Datagrid, TextArea and ComboBox components
poulated by PHPAMF data.

Certain sequences of events, eg. click on this1_mc and then this2_mc will
make the TextArea and ComboBox components blank. I can select and copy/paste
the etxt, edit the text but I cannot see the text.

If I apply a colour to the backgorund eg.
'myText.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0xFF");' I can see that the
text is visible and the
backgorund appears to be positioned in front of the text.

I have reinstalled Flash with the latest components.

I have recreated the movie from scratch and all is fine at first and then
the bug seems to rear its ugly head.

I have searched extensivly to find out about this problem and it seems that
it shoudl have been fixed in 7.2 and again in 8. I have also tried solutions
related toi masks (I have no masks in my movie) and embedded fonts (this
makes to differance).

Teh only workaround I can find is a cheat which appears to work. '
myText.depthChild0._alpha=0;' But I would prefer to try to understand this
problem and if I am going wrong.

Has anyone experienced simlar problems? Am I missing something?

[Flashcoders] gotoAndStop(".."); then accessing a movieclip.

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Let's say you have a MC with 2 frame labels ("localPlayer" and 
"remotePlayer" for example) and then you have different movie clips 
inside that MC. Something like this:


  |local|remote___
ammo  |x|
life  | |x
money | |x


Then you want to do something like this in your AS code (assuming you've 
previously stopped on "local"):


gotoAndStop("remote");
money.amount.text = "$100";

This wouldn't work because you have to wait one frame before you'd be 
able to access money but what's your prefered way of waiting one frame? 
Is there a real easy way to do it without putting AS code in your 
timeline and without using setInterval(..) to wait one frame?


I hope I've just missed something that's real easy in flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] gotoAndStop(".."); then accessing a movieclip.

[Joseph Balderson]

On your "local" frame, you'd have the money.amount.text field present, but 
either set _visisble=false with AS, or change the alpha to 0 in the property 
inspector. Then, when the playhead gets to "remote", you'd change to 
_visible=true or the alpha back to 99.9 in the property inspector for the text 
field. That way you can set the field text without it showing in the first 
'frame'. It's a technique that works for almost any asset that needs to be 
updated/set X frames deep into a timeline.

Subject: [Flashcoders] JSFL and Component Definition

Hi

Is there any way I can set the AS2 class in the component definition of
a
symbol via JSFL? I've had a look through the docs and I can only see how
to
set the linkageClass. This is not enough for what I'm trying to do
unfortunately.

I'm writing a script which will turn a textfield into a component and
need
to have an Inspectable property. Failing this is there another way I can
get
a value into the clip?

Thanks
Dan

Is there anyway to resize an image imported via loadMovie - not resizing
the mc it is loaded into - but the image itself?

Re: [Flashcoders] XML driven ticker tape

[Ron Wheeler]

Should be easy.
Reading XML is simple.
The scrolling direction seems odd but you can probably figure out how to 
do it easier than someone can figure out how to read it.

Re: [Flashcoders] jsfl and xml

[Danny Kodicek]

I'm trying to build a fla from an xml file using jsfl, and I just realized

I can't create an xml object with it..

am I missing something?


I believe you're right - I hit upon the same problem. Obviously you can read 
in an xml file as a text file and parse it yourself into an ordinary 
javaScript object, but it's something of an effort! Someone else may have 
done a javaScript XML parser you can appropriate, though.

On your "local" frame, you'd have the money.amount.text field present,

change to _visible=true or the alpha back to 99.9 in the property

almost any asset that needs to be updated/set X frames deep into a

[Flashcoders] FLV playing inside component

[eric dolecki]

In my init for a component, I am doing the traditional FLV play:

var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);

video_mc.__video.attachVideo(my_ns);
trace(video_mc.__video)
trace(my_ns)
trace(__videoPath)
my_ns.setBufferTime(0);
my_ns.play(__videoPath);

Everything traces out fine, everything is there, however with the play() -
the FLV loads and stops playing on Frame 1. I do have some drop shadow stuff
going on inside the component - I am wondering if that is somehow freezing
the FLV. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

[Flashcoders] Client editable Flash exe as opposed to powerpoint

[Kurt Dommermuth]

Hi All,

On several occasions I have gotten the request from a client for a 
presentation done in flash as opposed to powerpoint.


The complications are:

1.  It is offline.
2.  They want to add and/or remove slides themselves. (the slides would be 
created in photo shop as 1 static image)


I've done this in the past where I'd pass along the FLA knowing that 
someone on the client side had some experience that would enable them to 
edit XML.


I don't have that option this time.

what I need to do, I think, is develop a tool for the client to "upload" a 
slide (a png, or a jpg) and add a comment. - and then generate/or edit 
existing XML that would save the appropriate info to be used by the 
presentation.


I've frequently loaded, parsed and used XML for various things, but I've 
never edited it from flash.


From the manual it looks like this can be done.  Can it be done 
offline?  is it advisable?  Is there a better way?


Would Zinc or some other third party tool be necessary?

thank you for any advice!

Kurt

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing Imported Images

[Ian Thomas]

You need to do the resizing after the image has fully loaded. The trouble is
if you just set the _xscale and _yscale (for example) and then call
.loadMovie(), the 'new movie' (the image) replaces all the attributes of the
old movie and you lose your _xscale and _yscale values.

If you're using MovieClipLoader, for example, you need to do the resizing in
onLoadComplete() or onLoadInit().

For example, something like this (from memory, so forgive typos):

var clip:MovieClip=createEmptyMovieClip("blank",getNextHighestDepth());
var mcl:MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object=new Object();
listener.onLoadInit()=Delegate.create(this,onGraphicLoaded);
mcl.addListener(listener);
mcl.loadClip("myClip.jpg",clip);

function onGraphicLoaded(clip:MovieClip)
{
clip._xscale=50;
clip._yscale=50;
}

HTH,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] Client editable Flash exe as opposed to powerpoint

[Andy Weisner]

It can be done offline for sure .
The easiest way would be to make the client save the slides as jpgs in 
a folder next to the flash projector in a consistent resolution from 
photoshop ,maybe with numbered names like slide_1,slide_2.(or you could 
use the flash8 file upload dialog to make the client  get the paths easy 
if using a flash8 exe) .
Store the paths in a list as array or object best  ( or XML with DOM 
create nodes functions).
Then you can make a drag and drop like backend interface to load all the 
slides resized as thumbnails from the list . And the client can reorder  
them and add comments to each .Then this interface generates via a loop 
a object (or XML source with a string,shich can be parsed into XML obj 
or XML object  with the DOM if you want ) with all the order nad 
comments and paths . You store this obj or XML in a flash Local Shared 
Object and later for the presentation this obj or XML can be used in a 
interactive presentation or slideshow interface with loadmovie and 
transitions.


No need for Fla or zinc here.
Hope this helps

Andy

Let the MC hold the state of the money and the dynamic text field

[Flashcoders] file upload with flash 8 weirdness

[Tom Rhodes]

Hello all, 

i think my prob is in my php, but i'm uploading a file to the server, 
everything goes aok as far as flash is concerned, onProgress and onComplete 
both fire away happily.

but the file he no end up on server :(

why would flash say everything is cool and the file not end up there? 

the only slightly funky thing i'm doing is passing a filename to the upload php 
page for it to use when it moves the file from the browser temp to the server. 
like so



any ideas???

i have an urgent deadline approaching fast, and this is the last little thing i 
need to complete :(

Subject: [Flashcoders] file upload with flash 8 weirdness


Hello all,

i think my prob is in my php, but i'm uploading a file to the server, 
everything goes aok as far as flash is concerned, onProgress and onComplete 
both fire away happily.


but the file he no end up on server :(

why would flash say everything is cool and the file not end up there?

the only slightly funky thing i'm doing is passing a filename to the upload 
php page for it to use when it moves the file from the browser temp to the 
server. like so


  $uploaded = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], 
$uploadFile);

  echo $uploaded;
}
?>

any ideas???

i have an urgent deadline approaching fast, and this is the last little 
thing i need to complete :(


tia,

tom.

There is an online tool that does it:

and tool in Japanese:

If you need to convert dynamically created images in a swf, you can feed 
data to a server and format it as an SVG.

[Flashcoders] Combobox stop working after resize

[Martin Tremblay]

 
The combobox seems to stop working (but I still receive the event) after an 
element been selected and the ComboBox.setSize() method is called.

If no selection been made before setSize, the combo is working just fine.

Is there a workaround other than re-attaching a new combo box?

See the example:
http://www.lvlstudio.com/bug/resizeCombo.html

Here's the code, to try it yourself:

resize_mc.delegate = this;
resize_mc.onRelease = function ()
{
this.delegate.resizeCombo();
}

this.resizeCombo = function ()
{
var nCurrentSize = this.test_cb._width;

this.test_cb.setSize(nCurrentSize == 100 ? 200 : 100);
}

As soon as the image is loaded into the clip, the size of the clip will
adapt to the size of the image.
Therefore you have to store the original size of the clip, wait until
the loading is finished and then reassign the stored dimensions to the
clip:

myClipWidth = myClip._width;
myClipHeight = myClip._height;

this.createEmptyMovieClip('monitor', this.getNextHighestDepth());
monitor.onEnterFrame = function(){
var loaded = myClip.getBytesLoaded();
var total = myClip.getBytesTotal();
trace(_root.myClip+'gugus '+loaded);
if(loaded > 14 && loaded >= total){
myClip._width  = myClipWidth;
myClip._height = myClipHeight;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}

myClip.loadMovie('BlueHills.jpg');

[Flashcoders] "Not enough memory available" on publish.

[Brian Monds]

I have a flash file I've been working on for a few months for a web site.
Everything has been working fine until I did some updates yesterday.  Now
when I run Publish or Test Movie it tries to export for about 5 minutes then
a message pops up saying I do not have enough memory.  Windows reports 300
megs of ram free during this and the .fla is only 15MB.  I check the .swf
that was created and it is 22 - 29MB (varies).  Is this a bug in flash?  The
last task I did was removing some unneeded movie clips from the library and
having it load 3 variables from the html to determine what contact
information to display (for tracking).  I've checked the knowledge base and
help files and couldn't find anything for memory issues, updates, or
publishing oddities in flash 8.

 

Thanks,

Brian

We're talking about creating a separate window which is opened by Flash as

Re: [Flashcoders] passing mouse event

[Éric Thibault]

I must appologise to you H. because your droptarget solution works... 
the only thing was that the mouse pointer must be within the target to 
trigger the doptarget property!


It will be much easier to do that then test all the movieclips on the 
stage at every mousemove!


Thanks again

elibol wrote:


Hi Eric,

The _droptarget property changes before you 'release' a movieclip. It
changes whenever the majority of the area of the movieclip is over something
other than what is taking up the majority of the area at that instance. I
accually made sure this was the case before I posted because I was sure that
you would need the target before it was droped.

As for your other problems, you should gather as much information as you can
about the anatomy of the movieclips that need to be triggered if you arent
able to collaborate with your partners. If you're able to collaborate with
the developer that is creating the targets, you should have him construct an
abstract API for each target so you can 'question' any of the movieclips for
a movieclip group style identifier; which will allow you to differentiate
one target from the next without loops.

Good luck,

H

I've tried it with no success because the droptarget property is only

Hi Eric,

Maybe a more optimized solution would be to have an onMouseMove event on
 


the
   


movieclip that is being dragged, which would be activated when the
 


movieclip
   


is dragged, that would run eval on the clips _droptarget property for
 


each
   


onMouseMove event. Each target could have a distinguishing public
 


property
   


that would be evaluated with the hitTest that would serve as the
 


exception
   


for triggering the onRollOver function. The dragging clip would also do a
onRollOut trigger on the last clip it was over once the clip is no longer
over the target.

I tested this:

var lastMC:MovieClip;

function onPress(){
this.startDrag();
onMouseMove = runOnMouseMove;
}

function runOnMouseMove(){
var t = eval(this._droptarget);
trace(t);
if(t!=lastMC){
if(lastMC.isTarget){
lastMC.onRollOut();
lastMC = undefined;
}
if(t.isTarget){
lastMC = t;
t.onRollOver();
}
}
}

function onRelease(){
this.stopDrag();
onMouseMove = undefined;
}

onReleaseOutside = onRelease;


Good luck,

I have an application that uses startdrag events.

My problem is that I have about 20 targets with rollover events (each
hilighting a different portion of a radiography). When I drag an MC
over those targerts, the rollover dont get triggered! Is there a way to
pass the mouse event under my dragged MC to trigger my rollovers? To
temporary solve this (an get a demo working) I've put en onenterframe

There must be a better way to do that!

Re: [Flashcoders] AsUnit 3.0 alpha released!

[Luke Bayes]

Hey Eric,

Yep - AsUnit 3.x (all versions) will support only ActionScript 3.0. We do
plan to continue iterating on AsUnit 2.x which will continue to support
ActionScript 2.0. I need to get a build posted for 2.0 next week. I'm
waiting for Ali to get back from vacation as he was working on that build
last.

Please take a look at the AsUnit.as file in the zip bundle to see how a root
test fixture should look now. Essentially, you just extend
asunit.textui.TestRunner from a DocumentRoot ActionScript file and call the
start method with a reference to a TestCase "class" (not instance).

Thanks for the update on your name - I've been wondering! I'll get the site
updated this week!

[Flashcoders] Fwd: [flexcoders] AsUnit 3.0 alpha released!

[Luke Bayes]

Hey Robert,

Here's a great article on Test-Driven Development:
http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm

Essentially, AsUnit 3.x is built directly from the JUnit source code. It is
a pure ActionScript framework that allows you to construct test fixtures for
your applications. It lets you build each encapsulated element of an
application, test it, gaurantee it's functionality and then through
continuous integration, grow your application over time with confidence. If
at any point, you break some long-forgotten entity, your test fixture will
notify you immediately with exactly what is broken and why it broke. If you
later expose issues (bugs) that went originally untested, you can develop a
new test that exposes the behavior, then fix it and be assured that it won't
be reintroduced.

This is an alternative approach to what's known as "Waterfall" development,
and without a clean unit test framework, it's very difficult to implement...

Thanks for asking!

[Flashcoders] Detecting when a swf loses focus

[JOR]

Has anyone written some sort of lost focus detection for their flash 
movie before?


What I want to achieve is a simple message in Flash like "Stop switching 
between applications or this test will end. This is your final warning."


I want to display this message in my swf anytime someone leaves the 
movie to do something else like ALT+TAB to another app or click on an 
open app in their taskbar, or another open window.


I've tried messing around in JavaScript with all sorts of onBlur and 
onFocusOut event handlers attached to the embed, body and window objects 
but nothing seems to work.  The problem is if Flash has focus then none 
of those onBlur events get triggered if a user clicks on another open 
app without first clicking on the body of the page holding the Flash 
swf.  It's like the browser still thinks the Flash app has focus.


Anyone know how I can do this?

[Flashcoders] Offline/Online Security in FP8

[Mike West]

Hello Flash Gurus...

We've run into what seems to be a pretty big issue with Flash Player  
8.  We have an application (swf) that is loaded from our website and  
plays flv files from the client's CDROM.  This worked fine in version  
7, but is broken in version 8 due to the new security model.  Has  
anyone run into this and if so, have you found out how to modify the  
security settings so that a website hosted swf can read flv's from a  
clients CDROM or hard drive?


Thanks for the help.

I made a simple test to show you what I mean:
http://www.synergymedia.net/downloads/focus.html

It's set up for IE only for now, but once I get it working in the IE 
browser I'll figure out code for others like Firefox.


If you click on the flash app it gains focus properly.
If you click inside the browser it loses focus properly.

But try clicking on the Flash app, then clicking on another open window. 
 The onBlur for the Flash app is never called and it never knows it 
lost focus.

[Flashcoders] XML and CData

[Ron Wagner]

Hi all,

Using Flash 8 Pro.

I am a little confused on whether or not Flash can import data in a  
CDATA through XML. I am just getting started with XML in Flash, so  
not sure if it's something I am doing or not, but I can get all my  
data in my XML except what is in a CDATA. When loading the schema in  
the Component Editor for an XMLConnector, the elements with CDATA  
data have type . The other elements have their proper types.


I've Googled my butt off today and found some people say that CDATA  
is supported, some say it is not supported, some say it is only  
supported on the way in and not the way out. What I'm trying to do is  
load data into an XMLConnector, then bind to a user interface  
component such as a DataGrid, eventually with a DataSet component in  
between.


Can CData be used through an XMLConnector? Do I have to do things  
manually via a new XML(), etc., or will even that not work?


Thanks,
Ron Wagner

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing Imported Images

[Fumio Nonaka]

Most of MovieClip's properties are initialized when an external file is 
loaded into it.  But some properties including _x, _y, _xscale, and 
_yscale will hold their value.  Of course if you would like to calculate 
its scales based on the external file's actual size, you should do it 
after it is fully loaded.

_
Ian Thomas wrote:

You need to do the resizing after the image has fully loaded. The trouble is
if you just set the _xscale and _yscale (for example) and then call
.loadMovie(), the 'new movie' (the image) replaces all the attributes of the
old movie and you lose your _xscale and _yscale values.


Good luck,

[Flashcoders] AsUnit XULUI alpha released!

[Luke Bayes]

As it turns out, I got a spare 1/2 hour this evening which was combined with
a miraculously simple fix for a problem that I thought would take hours...
With that - we're ready to announce the public alpha for the AsUnit XUL UI!

This is a completely tool-agnostic desktop application built on top of the
Mozilla XUL platform. The primary purpose of this tool set is to make it
much easier to automatically create a wide variety of class types,
TestCases, and automatically manage Test Suites for both ActionScript
2.0AND ActionScript
3.0 applications!.

This tool is a much more robust replacement for what used to be our
.mxp-based Flash IDE extension. It works beautifully alongside any and all
ActionScript development tools including, Sepy, X-Code, Textpad, ASDT, FDT,
Flex Builder 2.0 alpha, Flex Builder 1.0/1.5, Flash MX 2004, Flash 8 and
MTASC!

You can download the build here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108947&package_id=168969

If you run into any issues or have any questions, please subscribe to our
mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/asunit-users

[Flashcoders] AsUnit needs you!

[Luke Bayes]

Hey Folks,

I just posted an announcement for the XUL UI and wanted to follow up with
this request...

We have put in countless hours of development designing, building and
supporting AsUnit over the past couple of years. We are looking for a couple
of motivated individuals to help us with the following tasks:

a) Build a Mozilla .XPI (Cross-Platform-Installer) for AsUnit XUL UI and our
source releases.
b) Write up some documentation / quick start guides for AsUnit 3.x and XUL
UI.

Of course the pay is really low, the hours are probably longer than you
think and there aren't any medical or pension benefits... But we will put
your name up in lights (of the lcd variety) and do our best to say nice
things about you as often as possible!

Please let us know if you're interested in helping with either of these
tasks!


Thanks,

[Flashcoders] ROTATION - ROTATION

[Manuel Gonzalez]

Hi,
I'm trying to rotate a movieclip from its center point. The problem is I have 
loaded an image into the movieclip and it x and y is 0,0.
I know that you can not dynamically set the x,y of a movieclip. I would prefer 
to handle all the actions via actionscript, versus making a clip on stage 
centering its x,y and adding an empty Movieclip to load into. Has anyone 
accomplished this via actiionscript.
Leads?, solutions or ideas.

CDATA should be no problem, even for the schema.
It should be listed as String. Make sure your xml is valid.

The following simple xml:



 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 


Looks like this when loaded as schema:

There is an online tool that does it:

http://www.eprg.org/~sgp/swf2svg.html

and tool in Japanese:

http://www.game3rd.com/soft/action/

If you need to convert dynamically created images in a swf, you can feed

data to a server and format it as an SVG.

Hello Flash Gurus...

We've run into what seems to be a pretty big issue with Flash Player 8.  We
have an application (swf) that is loaded from our website and plays flv
files from the client's CDROM.  This worked fine in version 7, but is broken
in version 8 due to the new security model.  Has anyone run into this and if
so, have you found out how to modify the security settings so that a website
hosted swf can read flv's from a clients CDROM or hard drive?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Muzak,

Very interesting... I plugged in your sample xml and it worked. After  
looking for significant differences between yours and mine, I found that




 
 
 
 


works, but









does not. Only difference being the space between  and [CDATA. I can't find any requirement for there being a space before a  
CDATA, so unless someone else knows that the space is required it  
looks like a bug in Flash.
