Re: [Flashcoders] attachMovie fails on embedded clip in a movie, why?
Hi Chris, I can't follow your code snippets too well, but I try to guess your mistake: You can only attach MovieClips/Symbols with attachMovie, that are available (exported for AS) within the container SWF. Example: MovieClip A.swf contains a MovieClip Symbol S in the library (exported for AS) then you can attach S to any Movieclip inside of A.swf, that was created using attachMovie or createEmptyMovieClip. MovieClip B.swf conatain a MovieClip Symbol R in the library (exported for AS) When you load B into A via loadMovie, you can then inside of B only attach R, not S. (I guess, this example is near to your description when you see person101 as S.) Tipp: To be able to attach S as well, you should read about shared at runtime. hth, Matthias 2007/6/21, Chris Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Flash Friends, attachMovie works on a clip that is inside a clip that has been loaded by attachMovie but fails on a clip that is inside a clip loaded with loadMovie. This should be so easy, but it is simply not working. I'd appreciate any tips pointing me to the part that I don't understand ... The setup: - Main movie (mainMovie) - A symbol (person1) - A symbol (template1) that contains a movieClip (chair1) - A swf (template2) in the same folder as the Main movie that contains a similar movieClip (chair2) THIS WORKS: Load the symbol (template1) using attachMovie attachMovie(template1, mainMovie, 250); //hardcoded depth here for clearness On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair1 movieClip inside template1 template1.chair1.attachMovie(person1, person1, 101); //hardcoded depth here for clearness THIS DOESN'T WORK: (keeping everything the same except loading the movie from an external source...) Load the swf (template2.swf) using loadMovie mainMovie.loadMovie(chosenTemplate); On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair2 movieClip inside template1 Template2.chair2.attachMovie(person1, person1, 101); //hardcoded depth here for clearness Is there some limitation to attachMovie that I'm missing?

[Flashcoders] Selecting All in a TextArea
I am trying to create a Select All button for a textArea component and I
cant seem to get the selected text to stay selected. It gains focus, selects
the text and then then unselects itself immediately.
Am I missing something here?
btnSelectAll.onPress = function() {
Selection.setFocus(txtBox);
var nBegin:Number = Selection.getBeginIndex();
var nEnd:Number = Selection.getEndIndex();
Selection.setSelection(nBegin, nEnd);
};

[Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names
Hi Flashcoders, Can somebody confirm my worst suspicions (think I am answering my own question here) swfA loads swfB Both swfs are compiled from separate classpaths but share a similar class structure, so swfA compiles classes like swfAProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfAProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as and swfB compiles swfBProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfBProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as I'm presuming that when swfB is loaded the _global.Application class is overwritten?

RE: [Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names
You can not have the same classpath/class combinations. So if you were importing inside SWFA SWFB: com.this.is.my.class.path.Class But on the file system, SWFA points to: myproject1/com/this/is/my/class/path/Class.as And SWFB points to: myproject2/com/this/is/my/class/path/Class.as You will get errors because Flash would have used the first classpath/class loaded since it's stored and identified as a string. You would need to either alter the class path one one of those classes, or have the class path start from the project name and not 'com'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names
Michael, No, you have that backwards, but it's a similar problem -- the _global.Application class _isn't_ overwritten. The flash player operates a class cache -- it always stores (and uses) the first class of a particular classpath/name that it encounters. So in your case, when swfA loads, Flash caches a class called com.UserInterface.Application, and uses _that same class_ when swfB loads, ignoring swfB's implementation. Every attempt on your part beyond that point to refer to Application() will refer to swfA's version. You can get around this (as a hack) by calling delete _global.__Packages.com.UserInterface.Application; before loading swfB. Then swfB will use its own version of Application. But then swfA will have problems - it's not a brilliant solution in your case. What you really need is to separate the classpaths out in the way that you suggest. That'll certainly fix it.

RE: [Flashcoders] wmode transparent,disappearing cs3 components and Firefox
Kevin, Yes, i've run into this as well. After some testing, i narrowed it down to the fact that the mozilla Flash player doesn't capture RENDER events when wmode = transparent. A bug has been filed with Adobe. In the meantime, this is a fairly significant player bug that does break the CS3 components because they rely on RENDER events for invalidation. One quick fix is to change the invalidation setup to use ENTER_FRAME instead of RENDER. I've attached an updated UIComponent file that does this (look in the callLater and callLaterDispatcher functions). I'm pretty sure this is kosher under the EULA.

[Flashcoders] Question on old AS1 code
Hello all. This is my first post on the group, but I'm a regular member of the FlashNewbies list. I'm a fairly new Flash developer using Flash 8, web player 9, and IE6. Hopefully the members of this list can offer some guidance with a problem. Background: I've been asked to review some old Flash 5 or 6 code from another developer built in 2001 or early 2002. The code is completely undocumented and the original developer is unavailable. The FLA and AS files load a few external JSP files and produce a detailed graph from those files. On an HTTP server the files work as expected and have been working properly for several years. Problem: Recently the web team moved the files to an HTTPS server. The background graphics load normally but the external data is completely blank. I have access to the FLA and AS files and have reviewed the code. Being a new developer I can't detect any obvious problems with the FLA or AS files. The external data files are referenced by name only, not by an explicit file path. I have been assured by the web team that the necessary files are all present and located within the same folder. Question: Are there any known compatibility or security problems between Flash player 9, AS1 code and using HTTPS servers? Any ideas what might be causing this problem? I do not have direct access to the servers so I cannot give specifics about how the servers are configured, but I can forward questions to the web team. Also, the code is proprietary so unfortunately I'm not able to post or share the actual code. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

I fixed the problem by reading the file in Director and passing it to Flash as a string - one case where Director's lack of Unicode support turned out to be a virtue... Admittedly, the only readon I had the problem in the first place is having to spend the last year or so rewriting our software to work around Director's lack of Unicode support :) Which ironically is almost certainly due to be fixed in the next release of Director. Whenever that happens.

Re: [Flashcoders] wmode transparent, disappearing cs3 components and Firefox
Kevin Newman wrote: Has anyone else experienced a problem with using CS3 components along with wmode transparent? I tried that recently, and the CS3 widget I was using (List) simply will not show up if wmode is set to transparent in Firefox (Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows - opaque works fine). As it turns out, this seems to be a problem with every browser that uses embed (which is all of them but IE) on Windows and on Mac OS X. Just an update. To fix it, I've switched to using opaque instead of transparent, but that is not quite optimal. I'll let you know if I find something that fixes it better.

Re: [Flashcoders] wmode transparent,disappearing cs3 components and Firefox
Hey Phil, Thanks for the info. I think your attachment was stripped, could you point me to the class file and line number? I found a UIComponent.as file here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Component Source\ActionScript 3.0\User Interface\fl\core I replaced all three occurrences of Event.RENDER with Event.ENTER_FRAME in that file, but it didn't seem to take. Is that the correct file? Thanks, I really appreciate the help, Kevin N. Phil Chung wrote: Kevin, Yes, i've run into this as well. After some testing, i narrowed it down to the fact that the mozilla Flash player doesn't capture RENDER events when wmode = transparent. A bug has been filed with Adobe. In the meantime, this is a fairly significant player bug that does break the CS3 components because they rely on RENDER events for invalidation. One quick fix is to change the invalidation setup to use ENTER_FRAME instead of RENDER. I've attached an updated UIComponent file that does this (look in the callLater and callLaterDispatcher functions). I'm pretty sure this is kosher under the EULA.

RE: [Flashcoders] wmode transparent,disappearing cs3 components andFirefox
Crap, i should have known. If you replaced Event.RENDER with Event.ENTER_FRAME it should work. If its not taking, try making a copy of UIComponent, and set up the directory structure (fl/core/) in your project folder and it should use that version instead of the compiled version.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on old AS1 code
The HTTP vs HTTPS stuff should be completely handled by the browser, so I don't think the plugin would have any issues. One thing I find helpful for debugging these kinds of problems is Fiddler (http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/). This will log all requests IE makes and the responses to them. Try installing it, starting it up (it adds a button to the IE toolbar), and then loading your SWF. You'll be able to see what files are being requested. You can see if you're getting 404 errors, or even if they're being requested properly. This might help track down the problem. -Andy On 6/22/07, Vaughn, David (Contractor) (J6B) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all. This is my first post on the group, but I'm a regular member of the FlashNewbies list. I'm a fairly new Flash developer using Flash 8, web player 9, and IE6. Hopefully the members of this list can offer some guidance with a problem. Background: I've been asked to review some old Flash 5 or 6 code from another developer built in 2001 or early 2002. The code is completely undocumented and the original developer is unavailable. The FLA and AS files load a few external JSP files and produce a detailed graph from those files. On an HTTP server the files work as expected and have been working properly for several years. Problem: Recently the web team moved the files to an HTTPS server. The background graphics load normally but the external data is completely blank. I have access to the FLA and AS files and have reviewed the code. Being a new developer I can't detect any obvious problems with the FLA or AS files. The external data files are referenced by name only, not by an explicit file path. I have been assured by the web team that the necessary files are all present and located within the same folder. Question: Are there any known compatibility or security problems between Flash player 9, AS1 code and using HTTPS servers? Any ideas what might be causing this problem? I do not have direct access to the servers so I cannot give specifics about how the servers are configured, but I can forward questions to the web team. Also, the code is proprietary so unfortunately I'm not able to post or share the actual code. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
