Hello list,

my tooltip class uses code like this "mc.onRollOver = function() {}"
to add its tooltip functionality to a movieclip mc. But this way it
overwrites the onRollOver method of mc and disables the functionality
like highlighting.

So now my question (probably a really simple one): How is it possible
to append functionality instead of overwriting? is there something
like "super()" is for cunstructors?

Thanks,
Matthias

exactly.

super.onRollOver()

will call the method in the superclass.

Re: [Flashcoders] need help in drawing arrow

You could do that witht those classe www.mediaverk.lv/asd
Arrow would be a laine or thin rectangle with triangle on begining or end

The code is intended for drawing elliptical orbits not arrows...sorry

The following code worked for me perfectly:





onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 5;
radius = 100;
xcenter = 250;
ycenter = 200;
ellipticalOrbitX = 2;
ellipticalOrbitY = 1;
angle =120;
_root.lineStyle (2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = Math.cos (angle * Math.PI / 180) * radius *
ellipticalOrbitX + xcenter;
_y = Math.sin (angle * Math.PI / 180) * radius *
ellipticalOrbitY + ycenter;
_root.lineTo (_x, _y);
angle += speed;
if (angle > 359)
{
angle -= 360;
}
}






u can write the same code on the 1st[onClipEvent (load)] and 2nd frames
[onClipEvent (enterFrame)] and write



gotoandplay(2)



on 3rd frame...


if u 10 objects then all u hav to do is



angle=0;
angleShift=360/10;



and in each object,


angle=angle+angleShift;



this will keep the objects at a perfect distance in the orbit...

hope it'll be helpful 4 u...

I have written some code to move some stars in a circle.

This is a snippet of the code:

vStar_Object._x = (Math.cos((vStar_Object.circlePos/180)*Math.PI))*160 +
vStar_Object.centerX;
vStar_Object._y =
(Math.sin((vStar_Object.circlePos/180)*Math.PI))*160 +
vStar_Object.centerY;


vStar_Object.circlePos =
vStar_Object.circlePos + vStar_Object.speed;


if (vStar_Object.circlePos == 360) {
vStar_Object.circlePos = 0;
}

if (vStar_Object._alpha < 100) {
vStar_Object._alpha +=1;
}

This seems to work just fine.

Anyway I need to change this so they move in an oval shape (like an egg
on
its side)

Re: [Flashcoders] how to not overwrite methods, but append functionality


but it doesn't work for me, because I don't want to get onRollOver
from the superclass ( I don't do an extend). I just want to add some
functionality to the onRollOver of the same instance of a movieclip.

it's like that:

var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(MyClipClass.SymbolName,"mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());

var tooltip:MyTooltipClass = new MyTooltipClass(mc, "tooltiptext");


in MyClipClass, there is a public function onRollOver() {}, which
works well, as long as I don't apply MyTooltipClass.

in MyTooltipClass, there I call mc.onRollOver = function() {}, which
overwrites the former onRollOver. But I just want to add something to
the existing onRollOver.

Someone?

Do you mean you want to do something like...

   oldRollOver();  //call pre-existing functionality

Re: [Flashcoders] how to not overwrite methods, but append functionality

2006-08-11 Thread Martin Wood

in MyTooltip you can re-assign the onRollOver to another name and call that from 
the new onRollOver, like this :


in MyTooltip

mc.onRollOver2 = mc.onRollOver;

mc.onRollOver = function()
{
   // some stuff here

   // call the original
   this.onRollOver2();
}

thats one way of doing it

You have two options (or more, but they are variations):

One is to do something like this:

var f = function () {
 mc.showToolTip();
 mc.call( mc, arguments.callee.oldRollOver );
};
f.oldRollOver = mc.onRollOver;
mc.onRollOver = f;

(Of course, you could also simply rename mc.onRollOver to
mc.oldRollOver and call that instead of doing the arguments.callee
thing.)

That's all nice as long as you only add new funtionality, but if you
want to remove one of the behaviours, you have a problem because it's
buried somewhere in the chain.

The alternative is to keep a table of onRollOvers:

mc.rollOvers = {};
mc.addRollOver = function ( id : String, behaviour : Function ) {
 this.rollOvers[ id ] = behaviour;
};
mc.removeRollOver = function ( id : String ) {
 delete this.rollOvers[ id ];
};
mc.onRollOver = function () {
 for( var i in this.rollOvers ) {
   this.rollOvers[ i ]();
 }
};

Use it like this:

mc.addRollOver( "highlight", mc.doHighLight );
mc.addRollOver( "tooltip", mc.showToolTip );


Both could of course be done much nicer, but you get the idea.

HTH,
Mark

Re: [Flashcoders] how to not overwrite methods, but append functionality


hi,
maybe using mx.events.EventDispatcher could help
i'm probably wrong, but have you tried ?


class A {
 function onRollOver() {
  doTheRollOver();
  dispatchEvent({type:"onRollOver", target:this});
 }

function doTheRollOver() {
   // do somtehing here
}
}

class B {

 function B() {
var a:A = new A();
a.addEventListener("onRollOver", Delegate.create(this, onRollOver));
 }

 function onRollOver(e:Object) : Void {
   // do something else here
 }
}

Re: [Flashcoders] how to not overwrite methods, but append functionality

I agree with Julien - EventDispatcher is ideal for this purpose. It's
one of the reasons it exists - to allow more than one object to be
notified when an event occurs.

hi,
maybe using mx.events.EventDispatcher could help

 function doTheRollOver() {

Re: [Flashcoders] need help in drawing arrow

2006-08-11 Thread Jim Kremens


Here's an AS1 way to do it, from the deep archives...

MovieClip.prototype.drawArrow = function(sp, ep, th, headL, headW, c) {
// sp, ep = startPoint, endPoint; (point objects, objects with xand y)
// th = line thickness
// headL = headLength, headW = headWidth
// c = color
this.lineStyle(th, c, 100);
this.moveTo(sp.x, sp.y);
this.lineTo(ep.x, ep.y);
this.arrowAngle = Math.atan2(ep.y-sp.y, ep.x-sp.x);
// value in Radians
if (headL>0 && headW>0) {
 this.drawArrowHead(ep.x, ep.y, this.arrowAngle, headL, headW, c);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.drawArrowHead = function(x, y, a, l, w, c) {
// x, y = reg.point of arrowhead
// a = angle
// l = length, w = width
// c = color
var halveWay = (w/180*Math.PI);
// value in Radians
var AX = l*Math.cos(a+halveWay);
var AY = l*Math.sin(a+halveWay);
var BX = l*Math.cos(a-halveWay);
var BY = l*Math.sin(a-halveWay);
this.moveTo(x, y);
this.beginFill(c, 100);
this.lineTo(x-AX, y-AY);
this.lineTo(x-BX, y-BY);
this.lineTo(x, y);
this.endFill();
};
// usage:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("arrow", 10);
this.arrow.drawArrow({x:100, y:100}, {x:400, y:100}, 1, 50, 10, 0x33);

RE: [Flashcoders] need help in drawing arrow

Hi,

Here is how I draw vector arrow (it's an extract of a more complete vector
renderer class): 

/*/

import flash.geom.Point;

//Parameters
var p0:Point = new Point(100, 100);
var p1:Point = new Point(200, 200);
var arrowWidth:Number = 4;
var arrowHeight:Number = 8;
var _thickness:Number = 2;
var _rgb:Number = 0x66;
var _alph:Number = 100;
var _buffer:MovieClip = this;

//Line style
_buffer.lineStyle(_thickness, _rgb, _alph);
//Draw the line p0 -> p1
_buffer.moveTo(p0.x, p0.y);
_buffer.lineTo(p1.x, p1.y);
//Get line angle
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(p1.y-p0.y, p1.x-p0.x);
//Drow the arrow
_buffer.lineTo(p1.x-arrowHeight*Math.cos(angle)-arrowWidth*Math.sin(angle),
p1.y-arrowHeight*Math.sin(angle)+arrowWidth*Math.cos(angle));
_buffer.lineTo(p1.x, p1.y);
_buffer.lineTo(p1.x-arrowHeight*Math.cos(angle)+arrowWidth*Math.sin(angle),
p1.y-arrowHeight*Math.sin(angle)-arrowWidth*Math.cos(angle));

[Flashcoders] Datagrid Sorting

2006-08-11 Thread Brandon Krakowsky/MTC

I have a datagrid populated with a dataprovider.  I add items to the 
dataprovider with the following type of statement:
dataprovider.addItem({u:{label:clearUser, role:clearRole}, 
uState:clearState, sel:false, data:l});

I can sort according to "uState" no problem with the following:
dataprovider.sortItemsBy("uState", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);

I'm having trouble sorting according to "u".
dataprovider.sortItemsBy("u.role","u.label", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);

This doesn't seem to work.  Should I access the "u" object differently?

Thanks,
Brandon

Hello list,

my tooltip class uses code like this "mc.onRollOver = function() {}"
to add its tooltip functionality to a movieclip mc. But this way it
overwrites the onRollOver method of mc and disables the functionality
like highlighting.

So now my question (probably a really simple one): How is it possible
to append functionality instead of overwriting? is there something
like "super()" is for cunstructors?

[Flashcoders] desperate! works locally, not on server

2006-08-11 Thread Lisa Haitz

I was told this is where the experts are...I'm trying to mount a flash document 
I didn't write.
   
  http://www.libraries.uc.edu/instruction/Module1/Module_1.html
   
  All files are here in this folder:
  http://www.libraries.uc.edu/instruction/Module1/
   
   
  The problem is, when I test the movie, debug the movie, play it, etc... on my 
machine, or any other machine locally, it works fine. If we open the local file 
in a browser- works fine.
   
  But, when viewed at the above url, two things dont work:
   
  1-slides do not advance correctly
  2-narration doesnt play (which might be due to the first problem).
   
  The way this was put together has me stumped- the action script looks right- 
so I think there must be something I am missing.
   
  Would appreciate any insight!

RE: [Flashcoders] print question

2006-08-11 Thread Mike Mountain

Have you thought of perhaps loading the swf into an MC offstage and
using the printjob class to print that. And googling first is just plain
courtesy man. Otherwise the quality of the forums decline and all the
people who would've had the answer to your problem move on elsewhere.

Many times this can be caused by case differences - locally MySwf.swf and

[Flashcoders] Can't access mc

2006-08-11 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael

Hi list...

I'm trying to access a mc within a mc in my class as follows:

class linker extends MovieClip {
function linker() {
trace(theClip);
}
}

The linker clip is on the stage, and there's a mc within it called
theClip.  I get the error "There is no property with the name
'theClip'."  What am I missing to access it?

Thanks,

declare theClip as a member of the class linker.
like,

private var theClip:MovieClip;

Also, try to keep ur code out of the constructor. Write a onLoad function
and put ur code in there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't access mc

2006-08-11 Thread Shane Korin


I think it's because Flash thinks your trying to refer to a member variable
of your class (which hasnt been declared)

If you put like:

class linker extends MovieClip {

   var theClip:MovieClip;

   function linker() {
   trace(theClip);
   }
}


It shouldn't give you an error, and I think it should work.

If anyone knows a better solution for this problem please say so!

hi micheal,

you have to declare that property inside your class before you can access it


class linker extends MovieClip {

 function linker() {

RE: [Flashcoders] Can't access mc

2006-08-11 Thread Merrill, Jason

Classes are unaware of the timeline they are imported into.  So you need
to pass a reference.  Also, wouldn't make sense to me to do an extends
on MovieClip if you are going to refer to another clip altogether.  So
instead of that, pass a reference to the timeline through your
constructor function:

class Linker {
function Linker(target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace(target_mc.theClip);
}
}

var myLinker:Linker = new Linker(this)

however, (and I don't know what your class will be for) if you DO want
to extend MovieClip, then set that class as the class in the movie
clip's linkage properties in the library.

Class 'linker' is not dynamic. This means that unless you add something like

private var theClip:MovieClip;

(or:

dynamic class linker extends MovieClip)

to your class definition, you can't reference it within the class.

But, Arul, what is the advantage of putting it in an onLoad function

instead of the constructor?
Just to be on the safer side, thats all :)

Try this:

add a trace each in the constructor and the onLoad. And test your movie.
You'll see that the constructor gets called even before onLoad.

Now, if your movie clip had a V2 component instance in it, and you added
code in the constructor to addEventListener to the component,it wont work.
Because the component wouldnt have initialize by the time of the call to the
constructor.
Placing that code instead in the onLoad method makes sure that it will work.

Hi dnk,

This may not be a proper answer to your question, but when faced with
this kind of headache I stick all the problem buttons, thumbnails etc

whole thing from scratch. Bad for the processor, good for my sanity.

Ok - as an update I realized why this was not working - my buttons were being
wiped out and recreated,
but the original delegates (onPress) were the issue. When my class was
initialized the delegates were
calling their respective functions as it should. The issue I had was that when
the 2nd page of thumbnails
were loaded - the buttons were still listening to hte original delegate functions. I have written those
functions to use variables to load the images - but it seems that when the functions used by delegate - had

not updated the variables.. it seemed to only want to do that on the initial
load. I hope i am explaining this properly.
For the way I seem to think about code - it would be nice if there was a way to
write dynamic functions. But that is another posting.

RE: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML

2006-08-11 Thread Paul Venton

Crazy talk my arse!  ;-)

I've used XML with HTML and CSS to drive several commercial products I've
developed.  So long as all tags are correctly terminated it makes sense to
use XML; where do you think XHTML came from?

XML is, by nature, a portable document that can be used and interpreted by
other programs.  You only use CDATA as a last resort as it can be a real
pain to process in some other languages.  Flash Player doesn't even
recognise CDATA nodes as a type; only element and text nodes.

With XML, you know the structure of the document you're working with as it
is defined at some point.  If I know that all data inside my content element
is XHTML then I only need to fetch its contents or rather its child nodes.

[Flashcoders] |:::| can you write dynamic meathods in a class?


Hi there

Can you write dynamic methods in a class?


for example

for (var i:Number = 0; i < 11; i++)
{
   function onBtnPress + i()
   {
  trace("Button number: " + i + "was pressed");
   }
}

So then that would essentially create 10 methods (onBtnPress0 to 
onBtnPress9) to be used by various onPress events.


Is this possible? Then at the same time you could write the delegate and 
create the buttons and so one as well.


Then continuing on my thought - could you then over-write the onBtnPress 
functions with new values (say for example the trace would be:


trace("Button number: " + i + "was pressed with the currValue of " + 
externalVariable);


instead of the original:

trace("Button number: " + i + "was pressed");


I am a hobby AS coder, and I am probably way off here. All I am trying 
to do is build a thumbnail nav for a gallery.


Thanks in advance!

Yes. Just load it up, set the player version to 9 and away you go.

To answer my original question I did some digging and discovered that 
people were having some issues
with FP9 occasionally crashing when using AS3. Although these may 
have been fixed by now I decided that using AS3 with an alpha 
development environment and a "v.0" player probably wasn't a good way 
to go right now as using another player or dev environment would 
require a rewrite back to AS2.0. As it is I'll stick to AS2 and the 
FP9 player and if I have problems I can always downgrade.

I don't think you can create dynamic functions.. even if you could, I
don't see the need to.

use your arguments to make your functions all-purpose.

Ex.

function onBtnPress(n:Number):Void
{
 trace(n + " was pressed.");
}

button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 0);
button1.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 1);

}
}

So then that would essentially create 10 methods (onBtnPress0 to
onBtnPress9) to be used by various onPress events.

Is this possible? Then at the same time you could write the delegate and
create the buttons and so one as well.

Then continuing on my thought - could you then over-write the onBtnPress
functions with new values (say for example the trace would be:

trace("Button number: " + i + "was pressed with the currValue of " +
externalVariable);

instead of the original:

trace("Button number: " + i + "was pressed");


I am a hobby AS coder, and I am probably way off here. All I am trying
to do is build a thumbnail nav for a gallery.

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField._height reported incorrectly with wordWrap = true


this happens to me only sometimes and when I use negative leadings.
Try to encapsulate your textfield with a movieclip and grab the height
of the movieclip instead of the textfield height. That's the common
workaround, I think.

Have fun,

No IDE for Linux yet :( Can't find any coding errors. Single line text fields
are lining up just fine. When I ask flash for the size of the double line
text field, it adds thirteen to the _height. I am using embedded fonts. Maybe
I'll try it without the embedded fonts.

Re: [Flashcoders] |:::| can you write dynamic meathods in a class?

I don't think you can create dynamic functions.. even if you could, I
don't see the need to.

use your arguments to make your functions all-purpose.

Ex.

function onBtnPress(n:Number):Void
{
 trace(n + " was pressed.");
}

button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 0);
button1.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 1);




Ah! I never knew you could throw args like that to your functions 
through delegate


Sweet!


That totally makes more sense!

Now my next question

Say for example I needed to throw a different arg to that function?

IE this time I needed one var, and later I needed another?

var nMyNum:Number = 0;

button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, nMyNum);

nMyNum = 10;

//need to update the delegate here
//button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, nMyNum);

Can you remove or overwrite delegate instances?

Sorry, I'm using a custom delegate class.. I completely forgot.  Let
me dig up that post that has what you need...
