Re: [Flashcoders] Flash hmtlText weird problem
First of all, make sure you're xml file is saved as UTF-8. It says so at the top of the file (encoding="utf-8"), but it isn't, which confuses the browser and therefor throws an error (in IE) or will display odd characters (in Firefox) when trying to view it directly: http://www.heliospb.net/_2pestudio/xml/artigos.xml Here's the exact same file, saved with UTF-8 encoding http://muzakdeezign.com/2pestudio/artigos.xml This will ensure it displays properly on all systems and allows you to view/debug the xml in a browser. As for the bold text problem when assigning a new htmlText value, try setting the textfield.htmlText and textfield.text properties to an empty string before assigning the actual value. _txt.text = _txt.htmlText = ""; _txt.htmlText = "; I think that's how I solved it in the past.. Then there's a few more problems.. In IE 6, I can't see the top right text (on the grey background) --> http://muzakdeezign.com/2pestudio/ie.gif In Firefox, the first time I view the page, all fields display 'undefined'. When refreshing the browser, the text shows up. --> http://muzakdeezign.com/2pestudio/ff.gif This indicates that you're not properly loading the xml (trying to display it before it's loaded). regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: "Helios Pregioni Bayma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 4:54 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash hmtlText weird problem Hi, New problem that looks like Flash bug, but it can be my mistake. I have a dynamic html textField in Flash, that imports a text from XML, and is formatted by CSS. Lets say I have this text in XML (there are 2 texts in real XML): When I open the site in the browser, I can navigate in both texts (clicking in buttons to call each), and everything is perfect, with the title and author bold, and body not bold, normal text. So I try clicking in the authors link inside the text, what opens another browser window. But from this time on, if I change to the other text, both appears all bold. The title, the body, the link, everything. And it happens in both, I can change between them, and it happens all the time. You can try it live here (http://www.heliospb.net/_2pestudio/artigos.html), the links are in the bottom of both texts, and their links are "branding" and "comunicao dirigida". I looked for any wrong reference to the text, text style, nothing, the code only handles it when its loaded and stays in a _root var. Is it a bug of Flash or mine? Another question is, do you have a clue why the link is hard to work in Firefox while in IE just a click makes it open the other browser window?

[Flashcoders] Strange problem with AS2 class
Hello, I'm working on an excisting project. The project needed radiobuttons, so I made a radiobutton component. It works perfectly in my stand alone test .fla, but once in the project it just won't work. No errors, no trace from the constructor, no exotic coding, ... I checked export in first frame in the lib, I checked the publish settings ( and the class export frame ) and other things I could think off. Does anyone have an idea what this could be ? Thanks !

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash hmtlText weird problem
Hey Muzak, thanks for all the help! About the files being saved as UTF-8, I really thought they were, I did set Dreamweaver to use it as default. As I never found this choice at exact saving time, I decided to do it with notepad, so now they are UTF-8 for sure, thanks. About the bold text problem, badly your solution didn't solve the problem. I did exactly as you said, but it keeps going on. Any other idea? The problem with 'undefined' vars, it happens cause the file is alone in this folder, and there´s an alternate code that load it if it´s '_level0' and don´t check the xml, cause it´s there only to test the file without loading the base file, but in the whole site ( http://www.2pestudio.com/_emConstrucao/), the base swf only opens the content windows after having the XMLLoaded var setted to true (and it´s setted to false when the swf loads). So it doesn't happens in the site. But thanks for calling attention for that. The problem with the menu options not showing is weird. That text is embedded, and supposed to work. I could not make it happen here, with IE6 or 7, or Firefox or Opera, but if happened once with you, it can come again. I am checking the code allover again to see any possible failure. Again, thanks for it. br, Helios ___ 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] AS3 continuous loop on mouse down
hi All,
What is the syntax for a continuous loop in AS3?
Have working code for a code loop using mouse down - one frame-main
timeline, but can't figure out how to maintain the rate of movement when the
mouse is stationary with the mouse button still in down position.
thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] jsapi question
Steve,
no i'm not calling this from a panel. I'm using an external jsfl file and
importing swfs and running the command against that. I'll see if i can find the
rectangle or mouse click option. But i was hoping there was a way to find out
what each elements DOM position is on the stage.

Hey Jason,
Are you calling this from a panel? If you are, make sure the panel is
docked. There are bugs with certain JSFL commands if a panel isn't
docked when it calls them and setTextString is one of them.
Also, you could also try selecting the text field using the rectangle
selection command (not sure what it is off-hand) and then using the
document command for setting a text string, versus the element command.
You could also try using the mouse click command, though that's kind of
dirty.

[Flashcoders] Render order
Does anyone know of a specification for the render order of items on a frame? For example if on some frame on a parent timeline a variable is set and it's children set the same variable, how does the interpreter decide which value to go with? Or if a variable is logically dependent upon the state of three child clips and they are affected by each other, how does the interpreter resolve this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Render order
I could be wrong, but... The last variable setting will be the one that sticks. var someVariable:Number = 0; someVariable = 1; someVariable = 2; someVariable will equal 2.

I'll elaborate on that so it's actually helpful ;)
Make sure your DIV has an ID
Call a Javascript function that goes something like this
function hideSWF(){
var s = document.getElementById('swfDIVid');
s.style.display="none";
}
if you need it to appear again JS...
s.style.display="block";

[Flashcoders] Motion to combine coders and newbies.
Hear me out before freaking out. 1. Half of the posts in Coders are more or less Newbie posts anyhow. 2. There is just not a lot of traffic in Newbies. So, it's hard to pick Coders brains and honestly, most Newbie questions can be answered by a Coder in less than a minute. I post in Newbies, but answers can take days. Seems like Jason Merrill is one of the few Coders dedicated to helping out those less fortunate. 3. Making Newbies stronger benefits all. After a while, a typical dedicated Newbie will be able to field a lot of the other Newbie questions and the situation will level out. 4. But oh, the increased traffic! Please. I have a dedicated gmail account for this list. It threads the posts together and has practically unlimited storage and very good search. 5. Pound home the idea that Newbies need to title their posts as such "No0b: How do I make a movie clip?" Coders don't have to do anything. 6. What's good for Flash developers is good for the Flash Platform. Getting more Newbies to an intermediate level benefits the Flash Platform as a whole with better apps, better people in jobs to lobby for Flash, etc, etc. Ok, now you can freak out. -- count_schemula ___ 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] Thoughts about circular references and memory leaks
So if the Garbage collector delete classes with no references to them immediately, but waits to do the more expensive check to see if the class has no references from the root, then with your classes that you know will have circular references, would it be a good idea to write a dispose method that does a for in loop on the instance, and deletes everything it can find? In other words, when you don't need an object, you just delete it, or make all references to it null, but if your object contains an object that has a reference to the original object, then there's still a reference. So you just include a method in the contained classes that delete all their references, and a method in the containing class that does the same thing, so if you do everything right, when you call that method, it takes care of eliminating all it's references, and gets cleaned up more quickly. Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo!

[Flashcoders] Re: Thoughts about circular references and memory leaks
I see no need for you to rush the garbage collector. It will run when the System.totalMemory has reached some predetermined ceiling, and when it runs, you can trust that it will count references and also mark-and-sweep. Circular references should be no problem for the GC. Memory leaks are caused by other things. An important thing to consider, though, is whether you really want to delete this object of yours. It has a circular reference, so I'm betting it contains some complicated code. Rather than deleting it and creating new ones, you may want to try recycling the objects that you have. That way, memory management won't be such a big issue, and your code will conserve memory. -Rez On May 13, 2007, at 10:41 PM, Joshua Sera wrote: So if the Garbage collector delete classes with no references to them immediately, but waits to do the more expensive check to see if the class has no references from the root, then with your classes that you know will have circular references, would it be a good idea to write a dispose method that does a for in loop on the instance, and deletes everything it can find? ___ 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
