[Flashcoders] how to write a class that loads XML?
Hello Flash coders.
:)
Could anyone help me to fix my class code? I can't find any reference
anywhere that will help me... I'm trying to load XML via a generalized class
object, but the data in postXML never makes it to the parseXML constructor,
any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Sebastian.
[CODE]
class XMLoader {
private var postXML:XML;
private function parseXML () {
//do something with postXML
}
public function XMLoader (__file) {
postXML.ignoreWhite = true;
postXML.load(__file);
postXML.onLoad = parseXML();
}
}
[/CODE]

You can use the Delegate class to send the onLoad function back to your
object:
postXML.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, parseXML );

Re: [Flashcoders] how to write a class that loads XML?
1. May be coz you never really created the XML object. You'll need to define
the XML object as well, not just declare the variable.
2. Try using the Delegate class. Its pretty useful in avoiding confusions.
Now the code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class XMLoader {
private var postXML:XML;
private function parseXML () {
//do something with postXML
}
public function XMLoader (__file) {
postXML = new XML();
postXML.ignoreWhite = true;
postXML.load(__file);
postXML.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, parseXML);;
}
}
Hope that helps,

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 addchild question
Hi,
Not sure what you are after, but you might try something like this:
import flash.display.*;
var lista:Array = new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16);
for (i = 0; i lista.length; i++) {
var vSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
vSprite.graphics.lineStyle();
vSprite.graphics.beginFill(0xAABBCC);
vSprite.graphics.drawRect(10, 10, 10, 10);
vSprite.graphics.endFill();
vSprite.x = lista[i] * 30;
addChild(vSprite);
}
Hope that helps,
Petro

Subject: [Flashcoders] as3 addchild question
Hi Guys, I've just read that in AS3 there is no more
createEmptyMovieClip or attachMovie so there is addChild, but the
problem is when I use a loop to said this add child to load
a linkage movie several times, it doesn't appear in the screen but
one. here is the code I'm using in the flash 9 alpha.
import flash.display.*;
var lista:Array = new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16);
trace (lista);
for(i=0; ilista.length; i++){
trace(lista[i]);
trace(newMovie + newMovieX);
var newMovie = this.addChild(new movie1());
var newMovieX= newMovie.x+lista[i]*30;
}
whe I do the trace the screen show several objects but I don't know
how to give them a different values for x.
I can do this in as2, but I'd rather do this in as3, since I'm
practicing with this now.
any ideas?
I need help.
regards
Gustavo Duenas

RE: [Flashcoders] WhITE SNOW and Seven Dwarf - MAth Problems!
OK danny, your script work fine. sorry for not testing it first.
here is the script in conjunction to my prior post. on frame 1:
var tIndex = 1;
//-
// calculate the loop overhead
var looptimestart = getTimer();
//-
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i = 0; i7; i++) {
//OK!! ASYNCHRONOUS DEPTH NUMBER for attaching MC
//trace(Drawing first Icon = + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - +
tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - +
tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
if (tIndex700) {
//--
trace(getTimer()-looptimestart+ ms);
//--
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
break;
}
}
var time = getTimer()-looptimestart;
status.text = times elapsed : +time+ ms;
};
function addIcon(sLinkage:String, nDepth:Number):Void {
var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon+nDepth, nDepth,
{_x:Math.random()*450+50, _y:Math.random()*300+50});
trace(mc._name);
}
it seems that I only gain the ASYNC -sequential number but not
the ASYNC method for attaching movieClip. the above script
will run in average 3300 miliseconds on my old but the only
one PC i have: athlon 1.3 Ghz.
the code below run almost 2 times faster, in average 1800 ms:
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
var c = 3;
var d = 4;
var e = 5;
var f = 6;
var g = 7;
//-
// calculate the loop overhead
var looptimestart = getTimer();
//-
trace(Drawing first Icon = + a + - + b + - + c + - + d + - +
e + - + f + - + g);
drawIcon(myIcon);
trace(Drawing Next Icon = + newline);
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
a +=7;
b +=7;
c +=7;
d +=7;
e +=7;
f +=7;
g +=7;
//ASYNCHRONOUS DEPTH NUMBER for attaching MC
trace(a + - + b + - + c + - + d + - + e + - + f + - +
g);
drawIcon(myIcon);
if (g700-7){
delete _root.onEnterFrame ;
//--
trace(getTimer()-looptimestart+ ms);
//--
}
var time = getTimer()-looptimestart;
status.text = times elapsed : + time + ms;
}
function drawIcon(sLinkage:String):Void {
//attaching mc simultaneously: must be at different depth!!!
//Using seven counter i.e: a-g which count the depth inside
//onEnterFrame loops
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + a, a, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + b, b, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + c, c, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + d, d, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + e, e, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + f, f, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon + g, g, {_x:Math.random()*450+50,
_y:Math.random()*300+50});
}
the above code attach 7 clip at the same time.
I intentionally left the script with its primitive shape merely for witnessing
the loop.
Using debug (list object) the same script also generate the same number of
movieclip
on stage.
based on that, your approach is even better (700 ms);
i just paste addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++) for simultaneous attach!
var tIndex = 1;
//-
// calculate the loop overhead
var looptimestart = getTimer();
//-
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i = 0; i7; i++) {
//OK!! ASYNCHRONOUS DEPTH NUMBER for attaching MC
//trace(Drawing first Icon = + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - +
tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - + tIndex++ + - +
tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
addIcon(myIcon, tIndex++);
if (tIndex700) {
//--
trace(getTimer()-looptimestart+ ms);
//--
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
break;
}
}
var time = getTimer()-looptimestart;
status.text = times elapsed : +time+ ms;
};
function addIcon(sLinkage:String, nDepth:Number):Void {
var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(sLinkage, mcIcon+nDepth, nDepth,
{_x:Math.random()*450+50, _y:Math.random()*300+50});
trace(mc._name);
}
following the thread, jesse seem provides much nicer solution,
although i haven't check it yet.
:) thanks for showing me a more elegant approach.

RE: [Flashcoders] WhITE SNOW and Seven Dwarf - MAth Problems!
OK danny, your script work fine. sorry for not testing it first. here is the script in conjunction to my prior post. on frame 1: Before you start timing different methods, you should remove all your 'trace' lines, they add a time overhead of their own. Try it again with no traces and I suspect you'll see very little difference between the two scripts (and they should both run almost instantly - creating 700 clips doesn't take that long) Danny ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
And for as often and inaccurate as they want to fire, I often think the best solution is to check time change from the last frame to the current with whatever method. I assumed Intervals only fired once per frame, but apparently they fire as often and as accurate as they 'can'. If I remember correcty there were some tests done when setInterval was first introduced and it turned out that setInterval can fire approx. 10 x per frame. But alot depends on what else is going on while the interval runs and that number may/will drop. Oh, I now just spotted that your sample code shows those same numbers (11x per frame) ;-) regards, Muzak ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] create image grid
I'm trying to make a two grids of images but am stumped at the moment.
Here's what I have so far that works just fine but I want to have two grids
of 25 thumbnails side by side. You will only be able to see one grid of 25
which is masked.
code
function makeGrid(){
this.createEmptyMovieClip(kk, 1029);
tg._x = startx;
tg._y = starty;
tg.setMask(mm);
var remThumbs:Number = thumbnails.length-maxCube;
//creates grid of thumbnail
for (var i = 0; ithumbnails.length; i++) {
//drawSquare creates the thumbnails inside of the MC tg
var clip:MovieClip = drawSquare(tg, i, 0, 0, 0, 40, 40);
//used 45 to space each thumb 5px apart. (thumb width +5)
clip._x = (i%columns)*45;
clip._y = Math.floor(i/rows)*45;
}
}
/code
I want the first grid to be 25 boxes then the second get built to the right
of the first
at the same y position as the first.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] how to write a class that loads XML?
If you're working from a network drive, make sure its clock runs in synch with your working machine. On windows, you can click the clock in the system tray, go to the last tab (Time) and synchronize it with time.windows.com. Do that for both machines. You shouldn't get any errors after that (at least for a while untill they run out of synch again).

[Flashcoders] Random Error
Once in a while, when compiling, I get an error from one of my classes. The
error is something like: 'property System not found', and it is thrown from
this function:
public static function getPlayerVersion()
{
return(System.capabilities.version);
}
I only see the error once out of 20 compiles or so... thoughts?

[Flashcoders] [FlashGameCoders] Persistent Game AI for Off-screen baddies
Hello all, When building a game where collision detection for enemies is important (such as a scrolling tile game), how do you create persistent AI for an enemy when it's off-screen? For example, walking away from the enemy causes it to be removed from the game area, but the enemy needs to keep wandering around the world in virtual terms, so the player can't easily tell where the enemy is going to be when returning to the same area. How do you maintain that interaction for the enemy, or is it not done like that because it's too processor intensive? Any tips or pointers to resources would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] [FlashGameCoders] Persistent Game AI for Off-screen baddies
I did this type of thing by having the collision detection separate from visual elements (each tile had a collision rect) so that the tiles need not be displayed to have the AI interact with them. This allowed their off screen position to be updated, and it was pretty low CPU hit - the biggest hit usually comes from graphics rendering.

Re: [Flashcoders] [FlashGameCoders] Persistent Game AI for Off-screen baddies
James, Unfortunately, it all depends. :-) It depends on the complexity of your game and your AI - on how big your play area is and on how much optimisation you want to do. I've seen the following approaches or combinations of these approaches: i) AI (and pixel-perfect x/y positioning) is maintained for every object all of the time (slowest and most memory intensive) ii) AI (pathfinding etc.) is maintained while offscreen, and 'grid location' for each object, but not pixel location. That's only turned on when an object gets 'close' to the screen. iii) AI (pathfinding etc.) is only maintained for objects close to the screen - anything too far away from the screen essentially 'freezes'. This sort of approach is often dealt with using sectors or regions, for speed - each region has a list of objects/enemies that are currently inside it, and only the regions in the vicinity of the player are turned on; the rest just aren't processed during a game-update loop. iv) AI _is_ maintained while objects are offscreen, but their AI update is run on a slower update rate than the AI for objects near to/on the screen. But in reality, there are as many approaches as there are programmers! Of the above, I favour number iii) for a grid-based running-around-sort-of-a-game - but as I said, it depends on the game and circumstances. Hope that's of some help.

Re: [Flashcoders] [FlashGameCoders] Persistent Game AI for Off-screen baddies
Separate your display code from your game logic. One thing that I see frequently is people inheriting directly from movie clips for their game objects. This is bad because it encourages overuse of inheritance, and makes display/game logic separation harder. Usually, I'll have my game object as separate items, with their own x and y properties, then a viewport object for determining where you're looking. To determine what gets displayed, I'll check to see if the game object is within half a screen distance from the viewport, and if it is, and not already displayed, I'll attach a new movieclip, and position it relative to the screen center by the distance from the viewport to the game object. --- James Marsden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, When building a game where collision detection for enemies is important (such as a scrolling tile game), how do you create persistent AI for an enemy when it's off-screen?

RE: [Flashcoders] create image grid
I didn't understand your question fully.
But if you want create a grid side by side then use if condition in
your for loop.
Like if (i 25){
clip._x = (i%columns)*45; // reset the position as per your
requirement then you will get the new position for the new set of grid.
clip._y = ---; //
}
Cheers,
Parvaiz.

Subject: [Flashcoders] create image grid
I'm trying to make a two grids of images but am stumped at the moment.
Here's what I have so far that works just fine but I want to have two
grids
of 25 thumbnails side by side. You will only be able to see one grid of
25
which is masked.
code
function makeGrid(){
this.createEmptyMovieClip(kk, 1029);
tg._x = startx;
tg._y = starty;
tg.setMask(mm);
var remThumbs:Number = thumbnails.length-maxCube;
//creates grid of thumbnail
for (var i = 0; ithumbnails.length; i++) {
//drawSquare creates the thumbnails inside of the MC tg
var clip:MovieClip = drawSquare(tg, i, 0, 0, 0, 40, 40);
//used 45 to space each thumb 5px apart. (thumb width +5)
clip._x = (i%columns)*45;
clip._y = Math.floor(i/rows)*45;
}
}
/code
I want the first grid to be 25 boxes then the second get built to the
right
of the first
at the same y position as the first.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] create image grid
I see that I left some info out like that the images are coming in via xml.
Here is a sample
of what I have so far: http://www.thespikeranch.com/test/photoGallery.html
If you go to the last image in the lower right corner of the grid then let
it play or click next
you'll see the grid of 25 images slide then the yellow indicator box slides
down to the x and y of
image 26. I want image 26 - 50 to be a grid like image 1-25 but to the right
of them.
Am I making sense? I was up late and my correspondence might be a bit mixed.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Persistent Game AI for Off-screen baddies
Really great advice there guys, thanks a lot :) I had my suspicions it would be done like this, but needed to be reassured by the Ninja's. Luckily the game logic is separated from the display, in a similar way to how you're describing. I currently have multiple scrolling engines, each representing a layer of parallax. I'm guessing I just need to duplicate a single 'terrain' scrolling engine (which is never actually drawn) and combine it with the necessary collision detection for each baddy that needs AI. Cheers folks! J Joshua Sera wrote: Separate your display code from your game logic. One thing that I see frequently is people inheriting directly from movie clips for their game objects. This is bad because it encourages overuse of inheritance, and makes display/game logic separation harder. Usually, I'll have my game object as separate items, with their own x and y properties, then a viewport object for determining where you're looking. To determine what gets displayed, I'll check to see if the game object is within half a screen distance from the viewport, and if it is, and not already displayed, I'll attach a new movieclip, and position it relative to the screen center by the distance from the viewport to the game object. --- James Marsden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, When building a game where collision detection for enemies is important (such as a scrolling tile game), how do you create persistent AI for an enemy when it's off-screen? For example, walking away from the enemy causes it to be removed from the game area, but the enemy needs to keep wandering around the world in virtual terms, so the player can't easily tell where the enemy is going to be when returning to the same area. How do you maintain that interaction for the enemy, or is it not done like that because it's too processor intensive? Any tips or pointers to resources would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] blendMode in as3
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, so I'll take a shot at
this. I think there might be a confusion between blend mode and alpha.
Applying a blend mode to a MC is a single-step process, which says give this
MC a blend mode of darken. This is akin to a PS layer mode, so Darken will
color only those pixels below it that are lighter. There aren't varying
degrees of the darken blend mode, so you can't set it to 10 and increment
it. Incrementing a blend mode assignment, if that's still supported in AS3,
will cycle through different blend modes. I wouldn't use the integer
assignment--again, assuming it's still supported, but would use the constant
assignment instead.
There are other things I'm not sure about, like the multiple x assignment
and the unfinished array line, but here's what I think might work:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.display.BlendMode;
var mcArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i:uint=0; i20; i++) {
var myMC:MovieClip = new movie1();
//myMC.x=222; //either omit this
myMC.y=186;
myMC.x = i*40; //or use += ?
myMC.rotation=i*20;
addChild(myMC);
trace(mcArray);
mcArray.push(myMC); // change to push?
myMC.blendMode = BlendMode.DARKEN;
trace(myMC);
}
The darken blend mode, however, will just affect underlying pixels, so your
MC will have to have more varying colors to see any effect. You might want
to look into .alpha, which controls opacity, to see if that's what you want.
Sorry if I misunderstood.

RE: [Flashcoders] Wave effect
One thing you're doing right is that you're not using
an easing function to move the center of magnification
to the mouse pointer. I looked at that mandchou site,
and it's really not good from a usability standpoint.
OSX's magnification feature is directly tied to the
pointer, which means that you don't have to chase
icons down, which is something that you don't even
have to know anything about usability to know to
avoid.
The thing causing that awkward pop on your version is
that you're using the distance from the icon to the
pointer to know when to magnify or not. This distance
shrinks or grows depending on how big the icon is,
which leads to weird feedback.
Also, if you have a mac handy, turn on magnification
on the dock. Notice that when you mouse over the dock,
the icons move away from the magnified icons in both
directions, whereas in your example, they only move
away form the magnified ones downwards.
Really, if you want that effect, follow OSX's example,
and not mandchou's.

[Flashcoders] Duplicating a movieclip/sprite in AS3
Hey everyone, I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate a sprite in AS3. Thanks to various tutorials online, I got so far as to take the constructor of the sprite I want to duplicate and instantiate a new one. var targetClass:Class = (stamp as Object).constructor; mStamp = new targetClass() as Sprite; This works in normal situations. However, the sprite I'm getting are SWF's loaded at runtime. If I trace a normal asset's constructor it will trace as [Object myasset], but no matter what I do, my externally loaded SWF's constructors all trace as [Object MovieClip] or [Object AVM1Movie]. So of course creating a new instance of the constructor will result in a blank, fresh-made movieclip. Basically my external SWFs are just some graphics on stage in one frame. I've tried setting the document class, and publishing as Flash 8, 9, Actionscript 2, Actionscript 3, and nothing changes. I'm not using Flash CS3 yet, just the AS3 Alpha for making assets and then compiling with Flex 2 SDK. Anyone?

RE: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
I got to thinking...
The problem with setting a single interval using setCurrentInterval is that
you can only have one interval running at a time, while the problem with
clearAllIntervals intervals is being forced to reset those you want to keep.
So I just wanted to share another idea, clearing all intervals EXCEPT those
you want to keep.
//
// CLEAR ALL INTERVALS - EXCEPT
//
function clearAllIntervalsExcept ( a:Array )
{
var x = {};
for ( var i in a ){ x [ '_' + a [ i ] ] = 1; };
// create new interval
var id = setInterval ( this, 'blank', 0 );
while ( id != 0 )
{
// count through all intervals and clear them one by one
// except those defined in the array
if ( !x [ '_' + id ] ) clearInterval ( id );
id--;
}
}
function test ()
{
trace ( arguments );
}
var _1 = setInterval ( this, 'test', 0, 1, 0 );
var _2 = setInterval ( this, 'test', 0, 2, 0 );
var _3 = setInterval ( this, 'test', 10, 3, 10 );
var _4 = setInterval ( this, 'test', 100, 4, 100 );
var _5 = setInterval ( this, 'test', 1000, 5, 1000 );
var exceptionArray = [ _4, _5 ];
clearAllIntervalsExcept ( exceptionArray ); // only _4 and _5 will run

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
@ Muzak
Clearing the previous interval works as expected. I'm showing the same
example with a little more padding to illustrate how it might be better used
inside another function - the benefit being the ability to still keep track
of the most current interval id.
//
// ONLY ONE INTERVAL
//
function setCurrentInterval ()
{
var id = setInterval.apply ( null, arguments )
clearInterval ( id - 1 );
return id;
}
function something ()
{
trace( 'something' );
}
var id = setCurrentInterval ( this, something, 0 )
var id = setCurrentInterval ( this, something, 10 )
var id = setCurrentInterval ( this, something, 100 )
var id = setCurrentInterval ( this, something, 1000 )
trace( 'ID: ' + id );
Personally I hate intervals, and I don't mind saying that. For all the
problems they cause due to scope issues and whatnot, but unfortunately you
can't avoid them if you really care about time. So I say just clear them
all.
//
// CLEAR ALL INTERVALS
//
function clearAllIntervals ( )
{
// create new interval
var id = setInterval ( this, 'blank', 0 );
while ( id != 0 ){
// count through all intervals and clear them one by one
clearInterval ( id )
id--
}
}
clearAllIntervals ( );
Through the course of this discussion about the never ending saga of
intervals, a few things beyond the last example stood out at me.
setInterval is probably just using 'apply' when you don't supply scope.
//
// SCOPE TEST
//
function whoAmI ()
{
trace ( 'I am: ' + this + ' saying: ' + arguments );
}
whoAmI.apply ( this, ['Hello World'] )
whoAmI.apply ( null, ['Hola World'] )
setInterval ( whoAmI, 100, 'Goodbye World' );
// I am: _level0 saying: Hello World
// I am: undefined saying: Hola World
// I am: undefined saying: Goodbye World
And for as often and inaccurate as they want to fire, I often think the best
solution is to check time change from the last frame to the current with
whatever method. I assumed Intervals only fired once per frame, but
apparently they fire as often and as accurate as they 'can'.
//
//ONENTERFRAME VS. SETINTERVAL
//
fTime = getTimer()
iTime = getTimer();
var frame = 0;
var id = setInterval ( this, 'onInterval', 0 );
function onInterval () {
var now = getTimer();
var change = now - iTime;
iTime = now;
trace( 'onInterval: \tf: ' + ( frame ) + '\tc: ' + change );
}
this.onEnterFrame = onFrame;
function onFrame()
{
var now = getTimer();
var change = now - fTime;
fTime = now
trace( '\nonFrame: \tf: ' + ( frame++ ) + '\tc: ' + change +
newline);
}
//
onFrame:f: 1c: 85
onInterval: f: 2c: 8

Re: [Flashcoders] Duplicating a movieclip/sprite in AS3
Personally I wouldn't try mixing the Alpha Preview with Flex.
It's not feature complete and certain things will be quite different in FCS3.
For instance there's the Flex Component Kit for FCS3 that makes Flex/Flash
integration ALOT easier:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3
AFAIK, there's no easy way to make copies of loaded swf's.
If they're nothing more than simple graphics, I'd say the easiest way to make
copies is to use the BitmapData class.
Here's an example (using mxml), where I'm loading a Flash 8 swf containing a
simple graphic (bitmap) on stage.
The swf is loaded into an Image component. Once loaded, the Image content
(AVM1Movie) is copied.
Then the new BitmapData is set as the source of another Image component.
You should be able to do the same in AS3 with the Loader class instead of an
Image component.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

trace(- content width: +t.content.width);
trace(- content height: +t.content.height);
//
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(t.contentWidth, t.contentHeight);
// or
//var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(c.width, c.height);

This works in normal situations. However, the sprite I'm getting are SWF's
loaded at runtime. If I trace a normal asset's
constructor it will trace as [Object myasset], but no matter what I do, my
externally loaded SWF's constructors all trace as
[Object MovieClip] or [Object AVM1Movie].
So of course creating a new instance of the constructor will result in a
blank, fresh-made movieclip.
Basically my external SWFs are just some graphics on stage in one frame.
I've tried setting the document class, and publishing as
Flash 8, 9, Actionscript 2, Actionscript 3, and nothing changes. I'm not
using Flash CS3 yet, just the AS3 Alpha for making
assets and then compiling with Flex 2 SDK.
Anyone?
Thanks!
