RE: [Flashcoders] pause an onEnterFrame?
You can set a toggle variable to pause and resume the event
Code snippets
//Toggle variable
Var bToggleEvent:Boolean=true
Somemc.onEnterFrame=function():Void
{
If(bToggleEvent)
{
//Execute the code here
}
}
Somemc.onRollover=function()
{
bToggleEvent=false
}
Somemc.onRollout=function()
{
bToggleEvent=true
}
Hope this would solve your problem

Subject: [Flashcoders] pause an onEnterFrame?
Is there anyway to pause an onEnterFrame event?
Right now I delete the onEnterFrame when an onRollOver event occurs,
and reinitialize it when an onRollOut event occurs, but that causes
all of my motion variables to get re-initiated, and thus makes the
motion go through a huge jump.
Is there a way to pause, and resume an onEnterFrame?
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic buttons not showing
Hi Attila, I get your point but,even if i change the code to read _root.attachMovie(butt_btn, butt+i, this.getNextHighestDepth()); will not produce the result of having the buttons placed ontop of the labels where i want them. You say that I only produce an array reference to the butt+i. But I use the same code to produce a number of textFields using the same code and I get the results I want,why is this not working with my buttons? If I want to use the array to give me the appropriate iterations and create the relevant buttons then, how would I go about it? Thanks JohnT PS With the last line of code I was attempting at creating interaction with the various butt[i] Rákos Attila wrote: You are using square brackets a little bit confusing and in chaotic manner :) JT _root.createTextField(mytext+[i], this.getNextHighestDepth(), myX, 0, 100, 30); Why do you refer to i as [i]? Well, accidentally the actual result will be mytext0, mytext1, mytext2, etc. but a simple mytext + i gives the same result. If you type mytext + [i], then with your square brackets first you create an array with single element of i, and since the first operand of + operator is a string, this array will be converted to string (which actually results i as a string), and appended to mytext. So you rely on a side effect of the array to string conversion. JT myId = _root[mytext+[i]]; the same JT _root.attachMovie(butt_btn, butt+[i], this.getNextHighestDepth()); and here too JT btn = [butt+[i]]; and this line is causing troubles, probably you wanted to write btn = _root[butt + i]; Your original code doesn't refer to the button instance, but creates an array (square brackets!) with a single element of a string which consists of a string literal butt and a string representation of an array (square brackets again!) having i as its single element. So after all btn refers to an Array instance (not the button) and you set _x, _y properties of this array (well, there are no such built-in properties, but you create them).

[Flashcoders] Challenge: open YouTube FLV in your own SWF
I've been desparately trying to figure out a way to do so, you can't do it since YouTube's crossdomain XML features *.google.com and *.youtube.com. I want to experiment with a mashup which requires direct access to the FLV. So I started looking at the various Google services, in the hope one of them serves from a *.google.com domain. Google Pages? Maybe pages.google.com ? Nope, googlepages.com Google Widgets? Maybe widgets.google.com? Nope, gmodules.com Google Code Projects? googlecode.com... There's nothing on YouTube about uploading direct files I found, so my little experiment is doomed to fail.. unless I'm missing something? Does anyone of you know a service/idea/trick/API to open a streaming FLV somehow from YouTube? The only thing I could think of is, of course, screen scraping the FLV url (keepvid.com style) and downloading it to my server to play. But that's not really what I wanted...

[Flashcoders] AS2: local events [fuse] to boradcast between classes?
Hey yawl,
I have a question, I'm using FUSE to do tweens and I need an event to be
sent when it is done.
I'm using the following syntax:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
class com.blabla.PostView extends MovieClip {
private var myID:Number;
private var mainPanel:String;
//ommited code more properties...
public function PostView () {
ZigoEngine.register(FuseItem, PennerEasing);
}
//ommited code: this function is inside an 'init' panel funciton called at
runtime =
this.signPost.expandBT.onRelease = function() {
var f:Fuse = new Fuse();
f.label = swoopyIntro;
f.target = this._parent.zoomBox;
f.push({x:0, y:0, start_scale:140, start_tint: 0xff,
start_alpha:100, scale:100,ease:easeInOutCubic, seconds:0.01, tint:
0x2E2E2E, alpha:0});
f.addEventListener('onComplete', this._parent._parent);
f.start(true);
}
private function handleEvent(o:Object):Void {
if (o.type=='onComplete') {
trace (panel action done);
//myBroadcaster is another AS2 file dealing with dispatching
events to subscribers:
myBroadcaster.dispatchEvent
(panelState,{myID:myID,mainPannel:mainPannel});
}
}
//ommited code, more stuff...
}
My {quick} questions are:
1. Am I doing this right? Do I have to send a local event [
f.addEventListener('onComplete', this._parent._parent);] before I can
broadcast an event between [all] classes? Ideally I'd like other AS2 classes
to hear the f.addEventListener('onComplete', this._parent._parent);
directly... [without hardcoding pointers to a specific class file]
2. Is there anyway to pass the 'handleEvent' function a parameter so that I
can broadcast it? Namely I want to broadcast not only that it was done, but
which function was the originator [in this case: expandBT.onRelease or a
string like ExpandAnimationDone] - can I get around that?
Thanks for your time,
Sebastian.

[Flashcoders] Font Symbol, with cyrillic export characters?
Hello Flashcoders, we are using Font Symbols in our project, and it works really well. but now I want to be able to have the Font Symbol to contain cyrillic characters. And what I can see, there are support for cyrillic characters in the font, but flash only exports the western characters. Do I have to change settings on windows xp to be able to push out a Cyrillic Font Symbol?

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic buttons not showing
John,
(FYI, there's something wrong with your reply to that caused this to bounce
last night with a 501 Bad address syntax error. It looks like your own
address and FlashCoders have been combined into one. I'm not sure if that
error is from you, the list, or one of the gateways along the way, but you
might want to look into it, as I have only had this problem with replying to
your post. Here's the body of the email I sent last night.)
I've made a lot of assumptions about what you're trying to do, but it looks
like you have a lot of odd syntax in your script. Avoid using _root whenever
possible, use brackets only for array indices, etc. You can also assign the
create and attach returns to a variable immediately, instead of after the
fact.
As for how you can reference the code for the relevant functions, you can
reference them either by their newly created instance name, by their
inclusion in your arrays, or you can add a function during creation.
This script addresses most of these issues and works:
//
//create missing mc lable_mc. rotated 90-degrees? (vertical label)
//
this.createEmptyMovieClip(lable_mc,this.getNextHighestDepth());
//
//Init variables
//
var myTxt:Array = new Array(branding, news, about us, print,
marks, contact);
var subMenuArray:Array = new Array();
var myBtnArray:Array = new Array();
var myX:Number = 430;
var ySpacing:Number = 190;
var myId:TextField;
var myformat:TextFormat;
var btn:Button;
//
//create a movieClip to hold the vertical label
//
lable_mc.createTextField(myName, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 484, 200,
140, 408);
var myNformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myNformat.font = Verdana;
myNformat.size = 70;
myNformat.bold = true;
myNformat.color = 0xEE;
myNformat.align = center;
lable_mc.myName.text = contact;
lable_mc.myName.setTextFormat(myNformat);
//
//create the textFields for the subMenuItems
//
for (var i:Number = 0; i myTxt.length; i++) {
myId = this.createTextField(mytext + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(),
myX, 0, 100, 20);
myId._y = ySpacing;
ySpacing += 20;
myId.text = myTxt[i];
//Format the text of the subMenuItems
myId.border = false;
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = Verdana;
myformat.size = 13;
myformat.bold = true;
myformat.color = 0x55;
myformat.align = right;
myId.selectable = false;
myId.setTextFormat(myformat);
//
//array with submenuItems for button control
//
subMenuArray.push(myId.text);
//
//attach a button (on top of) to each textFields
//
btn = this.attachMovie(butt_btn, butt + i,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
btn._x = myX;
btn._y = myId._y;
btn.onRelease = function () {
trace(this._name);
}

then the right way. Do I use the Proxy class (or mx.utils.Delegate) also
when I remove the listener??
//adding a listener

This won't work unless your Proxy class ensures that all instances
with the same parameters are identical. (It probably doesn't--I've
tried that route and it's a processor hog--you build up dozens of
instances and have to search through them all whener you call the
create() method.) Your last line will just create a new Proxy function
instance and, when it attempts to remove it from the event dispatcher,
it won't do anything, since that new Proxy function instance was never
added.
What you have to do is create a reference to the Proxy function:
import utils.Proxy;
// Among the field declarations:
private var $onBlockContentDestroyed:Function;
// In constructor:
$onBlockContentDestroyed = Proxy.create(this,
onBlockContentDestroyed, 'text', url);
// Adding the listener:
currentDisplayObject.addEventListener(onContentCleared,
$onBlockContentDestroyed );
// Removing the listener:
currentDisplayObject.removeEventListener(onContentCleared,
$onBlockContentDestroyed );
Also, in general I would suggest using Delegate rather than Proxy. The
relevant information ('text', url) can be gleaned from the dispatched
event's target or by using a custom type of event. This approach
allows for stronger type-checking (and hence more errors caught at
compile-time rather than at run-time) and is more consistent with how
things are done in AS3. (Where, praise Odin, you don't need delegates
at all, since each function instance has a reference to its scope.)

[Flashcoders] Bitmap draw and transparency

Can anyone spot the error?

then the right way. Do I use the Proxy class (or mx.utils.Delegate) also
when I remove the listener??
//adding a listener
this.currentDisplayObject.addEventListener('onContentCleared' ,
utils.Proxy.create(this , onBlockContentDestoyed , 'text ' , url))
//removing it
this.currentDisplayObject.removeEventListener('onContentCleared' ,
utils.Proxy.create(this , onBlockContentDestoyed))
Thank you
Jiri

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Dynamic buttons not showing
Accidentally I sent this reply to your address instead of the list, so I send it again there: JT _root.attachMovie(butt_btn, butt+i, this.getNextHighestDepth()); JT will not produce the result of having the buttons placed ontop of JT the labels where i want them. This naming is correct (and it leads to the same result as your original butt + [i], but without unnecessary array creations and conversions), the main problem however is caused by this line (as I wrote): btn = [butt+[i]]; This doesn't refer to the button instance, so thus btn._y in the next lines doesn't refer to the button's _y property. Probably you need something like this: btn = _root[butt + i]; JT You say that I only produce an array reference to the butt+i. But JT I use the same code to produce a number of textFields using the JT same code and I get the results I want,why is this not working JT with my buttons? No, you did not the same, you wrote this line at the text fields: myId = _root[mytext+[i]]; Do you see the difference? Square brackets can be used to refer to a property of a particular object by the property's name, if you put an object reference before the square brackets (you did it with text fields, but didn't with buttons). If you use square brackets alone, then it is a shorthand for creating an array, e.g.: var a1: Array = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); var a2: Array = new Array(); is the same as var a1: Array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; var a2: Array = []; Attila ___ 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] Dynamic buttons not showing
Thanks Attila, Now I understand... (I think ;)) I have made the changes, That lineof code was an attempt at addressing each of the buttons and I wrote it to see what output I would get; I know that it is not right. I think I will approach the whole thing in an alltogether different manner though: attach movieClips that contain a button and a lable, that way I may be able to control the content and look of the lable as well as the navigation.

John,
(FYI, there's something wrong with your reply to that caused this to bounce
last night with a 501 Bad address syntax error. It looks like your own
address and FlashCoders have been combined into one. I'm not sure if that
error is from you, the list, or one of the gateways along the way, but you
might want to look into it, as I have only had this problem with replying to
your post. Here's the body of the email I sent last night.)
I've made a lot of assumptions about what you're trying to do, but it looks
like you have a lot of odd syntax in your script. Avoid using _root whenever
possible, use brackets only for array indices, etc. You can also assign the
create and attach returns to a variable immediately, instead of after the
fact.
As for how you can reference the code for the relevant functions, you can
reference them either by their newly created instance name, by their
inclusion in your arrays, or you can add a function during creation.
This script addresses most of these issues and works:

[Flashcoders] Zombie symbol - can't get rid of some text
Hey all, I know this is more of a flash question than an actionscript question, but it's sorta related. Anyway, at one time (a few versions back), I had some static text across the top of the scene, in its own layer. I moved it off the stage to test dynamically displaying the text (the movie ended up becoming multi-purpose, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, I came up with a solution using query variables) And now, the text is there when I publish it, even though I've deleted the text object, a symbol version of it AND the layer it was on. I had understood anything off of the stage wouldn't be displayed, but I'm sure that's a checkbox I'm missing. In any event, with or without hiding the off stage area, how come I can't get rid of this text? It shows up about where I originally moved it to for the testing, way above the scene, but it's not in the FLA that I can see. Is there something else I'm missing? Maybe some extraneous object files that I should delete? I can't find anything other than the SWF, FLA and HTML files in my publishing folder and it's frustrating me to no end. Help?

Is there anyway to pause an onEnterFrame event?
Right now I delete the onEnterFrame when an onRollOver event occurs,
and reinitialize it when an onRollOut event occurs, but that causes
all of my motion variables to get re-initiated, and thus makes the
motion go through a huge jump.
Is there a way to pause, and resume an onEnterFrame?

RE: [Flashcoders] ASO files, file times, and classes, oh my
Thanks - however I don't think it's a cross reference issue with various
classes. I'm not referring to any other code in other classes. I'm
thinking it's related to file times and a bug with Flash.
Cool compiler class though, may come in handy.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] ASO files, file times, and classes, oh my
I've seen this before, but can't clearly understand the root cause.
Most likely it is the cross-referencing bytecode compile bug that
plagues Flash 8. Deleting ASO files does not work in many cases.
I solve it by using my devilishly simple Compile class, as pointed
out in the recent Flash 8 OSX - Classpath woes thread. Here again
is the class, with usage help in the comments:
// -
/**
* Compiler class
*
* This is a simple class to aid in compiling other self-referential
classes that stubbornly refuse to compile. This frequently occurs
when a class (A) refers to another class (B) which then refers back
to the first class (A), giving the following compile error: The name
of this class, 'x', conflicts with the name of another class that was
loaded, 'x'. To address this issue, just change the import reference
in this class to refer to the problem class, and check syntax on this
class.
*
* The logic behind this fix is explained here: http://
ericlin2.tripod.com/as2/conflict.html

* @author Stephen Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* @version 1.0
* @langversion ActionScript 2.0

Hi,
I have a project I'm working on that contains multiple class files.
Every now and then someone is working on these files who is located
in a
different time zone. They check in their changes, I get them, and all
hell breaks loose with Flash.
It's always the same error:
**Error** C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\Classes\FP8\System\capabilities.as: Line 7: The
name
of this class, 'System.capabilities', conflicts with the name of
another
class that was loaded, 'System'.
... where the actual class name in the error depends on what's being
compiled at the time.
Also, I don't even have to touch anything - go to the main .fla file,
select Delete ASO files, and I get that particular error again (the
one
about System.capabilities). I haven't even modified the
System.capabilities class! (but I use system.capabilities in the
code
in various places)
This happens when I try to publish the SWF.
Try to publish it again, and it magically works! WTF!
I've tried to work around this issue by changing my system date to
a few
days in the future. This seems to temporarily work, but then
sometimes
it gets all weird again.
For a few classes that are being worked on, it's gotten to the point
where I can't even modify the class and see the changes when I reload
the browser without deleting the class's ASO file (at which point,
I get
the conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded error -
2nd publish attempt works fine).
Anyone know what's going on? Macrodobe, please fix this in CS3 if
it's
not already!!!
Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] pause an onEnterFrame?
Yes it would be better that we did that on the object. But I guess Schemula
specified for a movieClip?

Don't use onEnterFrame event in mc instances, example:
var o:Object = new Object();
o.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(true);
};
var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(a, b, 1, o);

Is there anyway to pause an onEnterFrame event?
Right now I delete the onEnterFrame when an onRollOver event occurs,
and reinitialize it when an onRollOut event occurs, but that causes
all of my motion variables to get re-initiated, and thus makes the
motion go through a huge jump.
Is there a way to pause, and resume an onEnterFrame?
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders][OT] is the Flash9/CS3 delivered to anyone yet?
I know this is OT so I'm marking it so, but I DO want to offer the advice to anyone interested You may want to buy the boxed version. I only mention it because with MM and their site I got into the habit of purchasing the download version and later on, checking the also send a cd checkbox for reinstalls. But the Adobe site, a) doesn't have this option, which you don't find out until the end of the process because the MM option was at the end of the process. b) the cs3 web premium version is 2+gigabytes and is 1 monolithic rather than seperate downloads - so download errors are still possible even in todays broadband world and backup will require dvdr rather than cdr c) I can't remember c, but think there may have been one. I would also like to add, as long as I'm already spamming folk with OT that 1) The price for CS3 for studio 8 owners is way more reasonable than I expected and has engendered some good emotions on my part towards adobe, (especially since Corel has completed it's ruination of both Painter and PSP) 2) I'm amazed how similar photoshop cs3 seems to whatever version I had last which was, like, 1997. 3) Fireworks CS3 Is really nice. Glad they kept it and did something with it. 4) We really need to create some open source liquid layout components for Flash 9. Do well, Sorry for the OT Out. -Cort On 5/7/07, Hairy Dog Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can't speak for the unbundled version, but the CS3 version bundled with the CS3 Suites is out and shipping.

Re: [Flashcoders] pause an onEnterFrame?
Thanks everyone.
The onEnterFrame is not attached to any clip, but, I have a bunch of
balls bouncing around a screen, and I just wanted to pause them when
interacting with one of them.
I never really figured out how to pause the onEnterFrame. What I did
was, pull the setting of the variables for direction and velocity into
an init function that is only run once. The variables are not
destroyed when I delete the onEnterFrame, and when I want motion to
resume, I go to the same frame, basically refiring the onEnterFrame.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitmap draw and transparency
did you try filling with 0? You're setting the background color to an
opaque color, and then drawing the transparent bitmap on top of it.
var m_cBitmap = new BitmapData( target_mc._width, target_mc._height,
true, 0x0 );
if you don't specify the color, it might be using 0xff00 (black with an
alpha of 255).

Hey all,
I must be missing something straight-forward here...
I'm loading a PNG file with a transparent background, and then I want
to extract the Bitmap, preserving its transparency. The loaded clip
shows up with the transparent background, but after the .draw(), the
bitmap seems to lose its transparency. (the trace statement, of
course, shows the .transparent property to be true)
Can anyone spot the error?
Thanks,

var pMatrix = new Matrix();
var pColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
