Re: [Flashcoders] inline images in html text fields?

Nope. Flash's CSS support is extremely limited.

Subject: [Flashcoders] inline images in html text fields?
I know that while you can use the  tag in html text fields  
to  load images or symbols, that the image must be left- or right- 
aligned  with the text, and the text wraps around it. I have a  
need to have  small images *inline* with the text, however. I'm  
wondering if  anyone's worked out a hack to make this work (or at  
least appear to  work).
The first thing that comes to mind is to place some other  
character  where the image will go, search for it, figure out its  
position, and  then attach the image on top of it in the  
appropriate place. However  I'm not sure if it's possible to find  
the exact position of a  character in a TextField.
I recall seeing someone demo just that thing on a blog post   
somewhere, but I haven't bookmarked it, and I think it was  
probably  AS3 anyway (this needs to run in FP8). Flash Paper  
Viewer is able to  highlight search results in this way, but I  
believe there's some very  Flash Paper specific things going on  
there (having worked on the  first version of it myself).

Any clues would be much appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Setter Problem

[Ray Chuan]

Hi,
try tracing 'imgViewerFrame' instead of 'frame' on line 32:

trace("setImageViewerFrame() is setting var imgViewerFrame to "+frame)

In your delegated function 'handleButtonClicked' try tracing 'this',
to see if there is anything wrong with the scope.

Re: [Flashcoders] timeout for XML.load?

you could wrap your onLoad event in a dealy function and set it to run the

I'm wondering if it's possible to alter the value which is used as a

which the onLoad event fires when no response is returned. I'm  dealing 
with a server which does not always return data very quickly,  but does 
return it if you wait long enough.


(I'm guessing the answer is: No, this is determined by the host

Could you use MovieClip.onSetFocus instead of MovieClip.onPress or

I'm working on a tablet pc application that requires the user to be

1. The user makes a selection from *any selectable text field*
2. A button appears near the selected text

4. The selected text is copied to a buffer
5. The selection is cleared
6. An event is broadcast

2. A button appears near the selected text
3. The user taps the button
4. The text field loses focus, launching Selection.onSetFocus,  
which checks if the current selection, now "null", is an editable

null is not, so the button becomes hidden.
5. The user releases the now invisible button
6. Selection.onSetFocus gathers that the new selection is "null",  
and uh, returns focus to the text field, which retains its selection.
7. Now that the textfield, which is "valid" in terms of this  
purpose, the button is shown again.


Hmm.. Infinite cycle. Not cool.

The big issue here is that Selection.onSetFocus is called prior to

changes to the current selection
before onSetFocus is called. With this in mind: How the bloody hell

[Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

You have to rework your logic to the way flash handles selections,
Note, there can be a lag between new selections.
Also some things you just wont be able to do :(
 

> 2. A button appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4.

the current selection, >
> now "null", is an editable textfield. Naturally, null is not, so the

Focus will go something like
TextField, null, Button, If your listening for onSetFocus
Here's what I used 

public function onTextFocusOut( event : Object ) : Void
{
clearInterval( this.searchTextForRuleInterval );
getNextSelectionCounter = 0;
getNextSelectionInterval = setInterval( this,
"getNextSelection", 100 );
Key.removeListener( this );
Mouse.removeListener( this );
}

private function getNextSelection() : Void
{
var sFocus : String = String( Selection.getFocus() );
var aIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "addRule_btn" );
var bIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "displayText" );
var cIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "Commit_btn" );

if ( aIndex !== -1 || cIndex !== -1 )
{
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval );
return;
}

else if ( sFocus == undefined || sFocus == "null" || sFocus
== null )
{
this.getNextSelectionCounter ++;
if ( this.getNextSelectionCounter >= 6)
{
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval
);
return;
}
}
else if ( bIndex == -1 && sFocus !== undefined )
{
if ( sFocus == undefined || sFocus == "null" ||
sFocus == null )
{
return;
}
else
{

ds.currentManager.getActions().updateState(ActionStates.commonWizardNav);
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval
);
return;
}
}
}



Although the code is ugly atleast it helps you determine what really
actually has focus!


Hope I helped

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Help

[Yehia Shouman]

You have different ways to do that, Highlighted in red what I added to your
code in the 2 styles:

1) If you plan to do it clean, here it goes.

import mx.utils.Delegate;
private var xml:XML= new XML();
private function playFlv(file:String){
   trace(file);
}

private function getFLV(id:String):Void{
   xml= new XML();
   xml.onLoad = Delegate.create(this,this.handleLoad);
   xml.load(id);
}

private function handleLoad(ok)
{
if(ok){
//xml will be available now because you have declared it above as a class
//private variable.
var node:Array = xml.firstChild.childNodes;
   etc...
 playFLV("test");
 }
}


2) If you plan to not use that xml anywhere anymore, use this fast way, by
declaring a "ref" private variable inside the getFLV function scope which
points at the class.


private function playFlv(file:String){
   trace(file);
}

private function getFLV(id:String):Void{
   var xml:XML = new XML();
   var ref=this;
   xml.onLoad = function(ok){

   if(ok){
   var node:Array = xml.firstChild.childNodes;
   etc...

   ref.playFlv("test");
   }
   };

   xml.load(id);
}


Good luck with both ways

issues with it.
agreed - very easy to skin.  Used them in four different projects.  Ran 
into a few issues in an e-commerce app., but nothing that could not be 
diagnosed and quickly worked around.



good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] Ridiculous problem

[Scott Hyndman]

I've hit a couple problems like this in the past, which are truly
unexplainable. They're player (or compilation) bugs, without a doubt.
My experience showed that moving this code to around can shows that
assignment succeeds.

You could also do this:

userInterface.attachMovie("textForwarderMC","textForwarderClip",TEXTFORWARDERDEPTH);
textForwarder = userInterface.textForwarderMC;

It's a hack, but hey...if it works, right?

Re: [Flashcoders] Has anyone had any experience with Bit Components?

[Rich Rodecker]

for skinnability, they are great.  there are some wierd issues you'll
encounter here and there, I would check over the products forums for some
examples. One such example is that I dont think you can change the animation
of the accordion pane.  The documentation is decent enough, I don't have any
issues with it.

Any thoughts?

RE: [Flashcoders] allowScriptAccess

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

> Just waisted 3 hours of my time trying to debug my JS/Flash
application.

Here's a general debugging tip that I hope will save you time and
frustration in the future.

One of the best things you can do when a part of your application isn't
working, and it isn't readily apparent why, is create a brand new file
and make a simple test that does the single action that is failing in
your main file. 

If it fails, you can debug it much easier in the simple test since the
number of possibilities are greatly reduced, and implement the fix in
the main file after. 

If it succeeds, then you have a good clue that it's something else and
you can either slowly add pieces to your simple test until it fails or
begin looking elsewhere in your main file.

HTH,
Steven

Re: [Flashcoders] Disabling Nested MCs?

[Rich Rodecker]

just add the map._visible = false part to after the tween ends.  If you're
using the built in Tween class there is an onMotionFinished event handler
you can use on the tween, and pretty much most of the other tweening engines
have something comparable.

I hope they don't find out that the PDF is also stored in memory while

Seriously though, if it were me, I'd tell them it has to be in a temp

convince them, and you have a linux server, you might look into FIFOs

This will disable all buttons in map, and if the whole map is 0 alpha
anyway will make no visible difference.

[Flashcoders] Disabling Nested MCs?

[Kevin Cannon]

Hi,

I have an interactive map with various clickable countries on it. At
certain times the map fades out to alpha = 0.

When that happens the country movieclips are still clickable so I need
to disable them.

I expected map.enabled = false; to do it, but it seems to have no
effect since the map movieclip itself has no actions.

If there a way to disable the nested MCs without having to do it by
manually disabling them all? I don't want to reinvent the wheel if
there's a native way of doing it.

Thanks,

Following was posted last week on the
blogover
at
flashcomguru.com:

September 27, 2006
Alternative Mailing List for Flashcom and Flash
Video

After I have been receiving many emails on a daily basis from people asking
me what has happened to chattyfig's flashcomm
listI want to
remind everyone about the existence of the Flash
Media List .

It's not as popular as chattyfig but around 200 people are signed up
already. You're welcome to
subscribeand ask
questions related to Flash Media Server, Flash Video and the like -
or simply have a chat and say hello.

I don't want to encourage anyone to leave chattyfig's flashcomm list but
maybe this list offers an alternative until figleaf can fix their database
problems , which
will hopefully be soon.

You can subscribe to the Flash Media
Listhere:
http://www.flashcomguru.com/flashmedialist/

** END BLOG POST **

fwiw, some members of the Flash Media Server team (Asa Whillock and Steve
Wolkoff) are now on the Flash Media
Listand have posted
there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone intheface

[Muzak]

If I'm getting this right, you're running into the annoying 'feature' of the 
FocusManager stealing focus when a 
TextArea/TextInput/ComboBox previously had focus. If that is the case and you 
want to get rid of it, use the following, preferably 
in the main timeline of you app

function onMouseDown():Void {
focusManager.enabled = false;
}
function onMouseUp():Void {
focusManager.enabled = true;
}

focusManager is a movieclip instance created by the v2 Component Framework. It 
lives in the root/main timeline.
So if you need to target it from within a class, use _root.focusManager

It's one of those exceptions where using _root is kewl (in my book) ;-)

Does that fix your problem?

regards,
Muzak

RE: [Flashcoders] Boolean variable

[Merrill, Jason]

>>I want the variable to be stored in a shared object. :)

You'll need a Flash file to store the shared object, and if you close
the browser window, there is no Flash file anymore, so I'm not sure how
you would accomplish this. I'm not sure you can capture the close
browser window event as it pretty much closes the browser window
immediately.  If you could, you could try capturing the browser close
with a Javascript function and I suppose maybe write a custom JS
function which communicates with a Flash file, which saves the SO, but
again, not sure how or if you can capture the browser close - and run a
script before the browser shuts down. You may be out of luck, but then,
I'm not a browser guru either. Perhaps someone else knows more about the
IE DOM and can chime in.  Maybe also check Microsoft (or whatever
browser you are targeting) and JS resources.

That's called an anonymous function, which it sounds like you don't
want.  So then, you can do this:

function myFunction(){

myBtn.onRelease = myFunction

Re: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface

[Andreas Rønning]

All this stuff is true, but my problem isn't getting the selection, it is 
*unselecting* it. As in setSelection(0,0);
My problem is more related to not being able to control setSelection with an 
onPress without having it borking on me.

Right now i've "solved" it with a clearSelection method that runs an 80ms 
interval before it calls setSelection(0,0); and it works. It just seems like such a 
foolish solution :(

Subject: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface

...which is, i gather, somewhat of a general consensus.

I'm working on a tablet pc application that requires the user to be able to 
select text and transfer this text to other parts of the application.
The ideal way is as such:

1. The user makes a selection from *any selectable text field* 2. A button 
appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4. The selected text 
is copied to a buffer 5. The selection is cleared 6. An event is broadcast

Now my problem is, this is what happens:

1. The user makes a selection
2. A button appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4. The text field 
loses focus, launching Selection.onSetFocus, which checks if the current selection, now 
"null", is an editable textfield. Naturally, null is not, so the button becomes 
hidden.
5. The user releases the now invisible button 6. Selection.onSetFocus gathers that the 
new selection is "null", and uh, returns focus to the text field, which retains 
its selection.
7. Now that the textfield, which is "valid" in terms of this purpose, the 
button is shown again.

Hmm.. Infinite cycle. Not cool.

The big issue here is that Selection.onSetFocus is called prior to 
MovieClip.onPress. This basically means there's no way i can make changes to 
the current selection before onSetFocus is called. With this in mind: How the 
bloody hell is it possible to make changes to a selection with a button?
The more i kick this horse around, the more contrived the AS looks, and it's 
becoming seriously demoralizing.

Any input is appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in the face

[Adrian Ionut Beschea]

I don't know if I understood your problem but here's a thought. 
The setFocus event gives you oldFocus and newFocus as argument.
If oldfocus is you button, you can code around it in your setfocus handler.

You could use onSetFocus to update a variable with the 'lastFocused'. 
This could then be used in your button code.

Any input is appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Flash webcam sites ...

[Stephen Ford]

I have recently purchased a webcam for my pc.
 
Does anyone know of any sites (flash or other) that currently incorpotate 
webcams into their site.
 
Community sites / online chat / etc, I want to see how webcams are currently 
being used on the net.
 
I saw one site a while back that used flash with webcams, but can't recall the 
URL.
 
Cheers.___

[Flashcoders] allowScriptAccess

[Igor Volk]

Just waisted 3 hours of my time trying to debug my JS/Flash application.
Flash simply refused to call any JavaScript defined in HTML at all. The
culprit turned out to be the new insane "security" features of Flash Player
that even its own creators got themselves confused about. allowScriptAccess
HTML parameter gets, by default, published from Flash IDE with "sameDomain"
value. In fact, as they say on Adobe site, it isn't a valid parameter at
all!!! The 2 valid values there are "always" and "never". Setting the value
to "always" obviously got it all working, still, Adobe, why by default
desable JS interations and also have your IDE write wrong HTML publishing
Flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] Ridiculous problem

[Andreas Rønning]

It was cast before. No difference.

Hello Andreas,

try with casting:

var textForwarder:ClassName =
ClassName(userInterface.attachMovie("textForwarderMC","textForwarderClip",TEXTFORWARDERDEPTH)); 



attachMovie has MovieClip as return type. You would like to cast to
your class which you call "(TextForwarder is a )MovieClip extension".
I use the syntax above, and it works perfectly for me. The only
difference is, that I use something like this:

var instanceName:ClassName =
ClassName(this.attachMovie(ClassName.SymbolName,"instanceName",this.getNextHighestDepth())); 



and my Class looks like this:

class ClassName extends MovieClip
{
public static var SymbolName:String = 
"__Packages.com.domain.ClassName";

public static var SymbolOwner:Function = ClassName;
public static var SymbolLinked = 
Object.registerClass(SymbolName,SymbolOwner);


// constructor
public function ClassName()
{
}
}

Have fun!
Matthias

Re: [Flashcoders] Ridiculous problem "solution"

[Andreas Rønning]

var tempTF = userInterface.attachMovie(etc)
textForwarder = tempTF;

That solved it. But i'd really like to know why

trace("TF: "+textForwarder);

output:
TF instanced
TF: undefined

Boy am i stumped. What would cause this? The class works admirably, 
except, of course, it apparently can't be referenced, because it's 
always undefined.
