Re: [Flashcoders] Short syntax for accessing nested display objects? (AS3)

Is there a reason you can't access the Sprite with the variable you 
first created?

cont.visible=false;

Hiya everyone, good to see the list back up and running.

 I'm trying to access a sprite that is inside of 2 other sprites and I 
have 2 questions about this:


1) It seems that the syntax for targeting this sprite once it is 
created is quite long winded (2 temporary vars have to be created):


var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();
this.addChild(cont);
var cont1:Sprite = new Sprite();
cont.addChild(cont1);
var child1:Sprite = new H1();

var target =cont.getChildByName(cont1);
var targ2 = target.getChildByName(child1);   


targ2._visible = false;




2) Also, I can't data type my target var as a Sprite otherwise I get 
an error (unless I cast  the type as well).


If anyone knows of a better of doing this I would be really interested 
to hear it :)

Cheers,
Ali

Well, if you _really_ want to, you can do it with 1...

var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();

My SQL is rusty, but assuming you are using MySQL (no pun there...):

SELECT * FROM NP_socs_nancy WHERE soc_09='foo' ORDER BY soc_01 LIMIT 1, 500;

The LIMIT command uses [offset, max rows], so LIMIT 1, 500 would start 
at row 1 and return 500 rows from the db.  You can increment the offset 
when the data has parsed successfully and query again.

Re: [Flashcoders] unsetting object property in AS2

2007-10-21 Thread ekameleon
Hello :)

See the documentation of the Array class and the splice method :

splice(startIndex:Number 2026.html#419506,
[deleteCount:Number2026.html#419506],
[value:Object 2035.html#421878])


The null value don't remove an item in the Array instances :) clean only the
value in the case :)

If you use a property in an object use 'undefined' or 'delete' :

var o = {} ;
o.prop1 = 1 ;
o.prop2 = 2 ;
trace(o) ;

for (var prop in o )
{
  trace( prop  +  :  + o[prop] ) ;
}

trace(--- remove prop1) ;

trace( remove prop1 :  + delete o.prop1 ) ;

for (var prop in o )
{
  trace( prop  +  :  + o[prop] ) ;
}

... If you want keep the property but this property not must be enumerable
in the for..in loop, use ASSetPropFlags :

var o = {} ;
o.prop1 = 1 ;
o.prop2 = 2 ;
trace(o) ;

ASSetPropFlags(o, [prop1] , 1 ) ;

// with the for..in
for (var prop in o )
{
  trace( prop  +  :  + o[prop] ) ;
}

// but the property exist :
trace(o.prop1 ) ;


EKA+ :)

2007/10/19, Andrew Sinning [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 A question in my sent box from when the list went down:

 I like to use the Object class as an index, but there doesn't appear to
 be a way to completely remove a property from an object.  I can set the
 value to null, but I'd really like to be able to remove the property
 completely.  Why? Because if I want to do a reverse lookup, then I have
 to iterate through all of the properties, but having to iterate through
 the nulled values seems inefficient.

 I can do this with another class, something that includes an Array to
 keep track of current properties and an Object for the index, but I'm
 wondering if I'm overlooking something.  Often I find that I am.

 Speaking of Arrays, it's a bit frustrating that there's no easy way to
 remove an item from an array either.  Currently I use:

iterate through the array to find the index of the needle
splice the Array at the index

 Is there a faster way to remove an item from an array?


 Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] central up to date data

2007-10-21 Thread Michael Ypes
Great to have the list back, I was worried for a while that it was gone
forever, phew

In answer to your question: 

Create a singleton class which stores all data. I use this in applications
to store data from xml files and use it as a mvc pattern. This way you can
extract the information from the data anywhere in the application by using
the getInstance() method.

EG.

ModelData.getInstance().getMenuColor()

Which would then return the color that you are after.

Read Joey Lotts book AS3 with Design Patterns - which can be easily
translated for AS2 but really helps on building a usable architecture for
your applications which are scaleable and usable.

If you require an example then shout again. Bit rushed at the mo.

Cheers

Hi List!

I'm using a class named utils.as to store data like color values in my
project.
This class is then extended by let's say the application.as and the menu.as.

Next in the application class I change the value of a var in the utils
class.
When retrieving this value from the third (menu) class I still get the old
value instead of the new one.

What is the best thing to do when I want to keep my data central, up to date
and accesible for all classes in my project?

Kind regards,

Re: [Flashcoders] Short syntax for accessing nested display objects? (AS3)

2007-10-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hi alistair,
you are confusing variable names with instance names. they're not the 
same thing.


when you do this:
 var cont1:Sprite = new Sprite();
 cont.addChild(cont1);

you are not naming the sprite cont1, you are simply assigning the 
variable cont1 a reference to the new Sprite.


so you can't do:
 cont.getChildByName(cont1);

because the Sprite referenced by cont has no instance name.

you *can* do this:
 var room:Sprite = new Sprite();
 var b:Sprite = new Sprite();
 b.name = ball;
 room.addChild(b);
 trace(room.getChildByName(ball));

however, that technique is not recommended because it requires you to 
refer to the object by an arbitrary string name (ball) that cannot be 
checked at compile time. in a pure ActionScript 3.0 program, rather than 
using instance names, you should reference all display objects through a 
variable. e.g.,


b.bounce()

instead of:

Ball(room.getChildByName(ball)).bounce()

(in the above code, the cast to Ball is required because 
getChildByName()'s return type is DisplayObject.)


if other areas of your code need access to the ball, pass them a 
reference to it. for example, you might have a Room class with a 
getBall() method:


 public function getBall ():Ball {
  return theBall;
 }

all that said, if you are just creating instances on the timeline in the 
Flash authoring tool, and you name them using the properties panel, you 
can reference them directly by name. e.g., if you have a clip that you 
named ball on the main timeline, you can reference that clip using 
this code on that timeline:


trace(this.ball);

the preceding code works because the compiler automatically adds a 
variable named 'ball' to the document class (the class representing the 
main timeline), and assigns 'ball' a reference to your named clip.

var targ2 = target.getChildByName(child1);   


targ2._visible = false;




2) Also, I can't data type my target var as a Sprite otherwise I get an 
error (unless I cast  the type as well).


If anyone knows of a better of doing this I would be really interested 
to hear it :)

Cheers,
Ali

[Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking

2007-10-21 Thread John Olson
I have a client Flash AS3 project where I need to open a new window  
from within Flash.   I won't have any control over the html wrapper  
for the SWF so I can't use javascript within the HTML page.   I've  
read suggestions about using Javascript:window.open but seems that  
will get blocked as well.


Any suggestions?
