RE: [Flashcoders] buttons lined up next to each other- rollout not work

[Dwayne Neckles]

OK 

on rollover the correponding text clip fades in on rollout it fades out..

during debuging.. all of the targets are "text4" and it shouldnt  be..

clip0 should control text0 and etc..
but what happens is that clip0 to clip4 controls text4...
 
which is wrong, any suggestions?


Code below:

//this also sets the event handling in one shot
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
clipName = this["clip"+i];
target= _root["text"+i]
trace(target);


clipName.onRollOver = function() {
Tweener.addTween(this.person,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
Tweener.addTween(this.whiteborder,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
Tweener.addTween(target,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
trace("onrollover"+target);


};

clipName.onRollOut = function() {
Tweener.addTween(this.person,{_alpha:30, delay:0, time:1});
Tweener.addTween(this.whiteborder,{_alpha:0, delay:0, time:1});
Tweener.addTween(target,{_alpha:0, delay:0, time:2});

};


}

No such problem here with either adjacent or overlapping buttons. 
Please post your code. Here's mine for four buttons named "btn1," "btn2," etc.:


for (i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
this["btn" + i].onRollOut = function() {
trace(this._name);
};
}

This is probably a classic issue..

I have  5 buttons lined up next to each with no space between but they arent 
overlapping.

I have rollover and rollout events.. but the rollout event doesnt work when i 
roll over to the next button..

the onrollout event works only when i rollout on to negative space..which sucks

Yes, you can load Flash 8 made .swfs into Flex, you just can't directly
interact with any code inside of them except by using External Interface
or perhaps local connection.

Re: [Flashcoders] using graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk

[Glen Pike]

Possibly because CS3 is expensive & a memory hog and maybe unnecessary 
if you are heavily into coding - FL8 is just as handy & Flex has a 
different set of components :)

Re: [Flashcoders] using graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   You can embed assets from Flash into Flex using the [Embed] meta 
directive.
  
   In Flash all the MovieClips in your library need to have a LinkageID 
- not sure if they need to be on the timeline, but probably a good idea.


   In Flex you can [Embed] individual MC's or an entire SWF at compile 
time (assets will expand the SWF file).


   You need to put the [Embed

   Keith Peters has a good example of the code needed here:

   http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=853

   Not 100% how this translates to MXML or if that is possible.

   Also not sure about runtime shared libraries, but try googling with 
flex too.

Re: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Well, I've made a class to do just that, might be handy to have it. You can
find both AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 versions here:

http://pastebin.be/8273  (AS 3.0)
http://pastebin.be/8274   (AS 2.0)

Just add any entity you need to the charMap.

Use example:

var original:String = "día sésamo ñoño
Ño";

var modified:String = HTMLEntities.decode(original);

trace("original: " + original);
trace("modified: " + modified);

Using RegExp was way easier (though I suck with regexp's and took me a while
to figure it out the way to replace anything between '&' and ';'.

Only if you're not going to run into any naming conflicts.

I generally find it's better to only import the classes you're going
to use, for a couple reasons.

1) It reduces the chance of naming conflicts (like two packages having
Button classes in them).  The only time you'll have to deal with
naming conflicts here is if you actually need to use classes with the
same name from two different packages.  If you import the entire
packages there's a higher chance of conflict.

2) It makes it much easier to tell, at a glance, what a class depends
on.  This can be beneficial in many cases.

Very good point Glen... Although this seems kind of redundant if you import
your classes and then use the qualified name to instantiate a specific
class. But I fully understand what you mean.

So then it is safe to do

import flash.display.*;

and not to worry about bundling up the SWF eh?

Thanks Zeh, that is what I thought but I wasn't sure. specially when I
instantiate my Classes there was no difference on the way I was using them,
of course unless I needed to pass some parameters.

Re: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Perhaps this is not the most optimal (performance-wise), but if the
flash html renderer doesn't natively support most of the html entities, you
can make your own (I don't know of any class that already does it, but it
might already been written).

It shouldn't be hard.

You can find the a list with the standard entities here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html
( bullet 24.2.1)

You should map the entity name on the left of the table to correspondent
char. Something like:

var map:Object = {};
map['aacute'] = 'á';
map['eacute'] = 'é';

and so on.

You could also use the char codes, but then some chars might or might not
work depending on the encoding you're using, so using the literla char seems
more reliable.

The you should loop through the input string, look for anything between '&'
and ';' and look up the map to find the correct replacement. If you're usign
AS 3.0, the RegExp could be handy and will save you from doing it manually.
Finally, return the modified string and you're done.

It's not hard, just tedious! (specially, writing the lookup table)

Cheers

[Flashcoders] using graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk

[Gregory N]

Hi all,

I have an application made a while ago in as1 (flash 6).

Now I need to make new version of it in AS3.
Fortunately, there's no code in clips, only in frame 1 on _root :-).
But all graphics currently is in FLA.
And I haven't upgraded to Flash CS3 yet (hope not to do it at all).

I've seen this article:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flex2_flash.html

But it mentions Flex Builder 2, not SDK.

Question:
Can I (if yes, how) use graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk?

I can think of loading "graphics-only" swfs (as2) into final (AS3) swf...
But doubt that I'll be able to access their assets (not code, just mc's).

RE: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText

[Rob Emenecker]

Hi Andrew,

I took a look at what we did and, unfortunately, our solution was a
"pre-processing" script before the HTML was deployed to our Flash project.
Since there are "real" differences between Flash HTML and standard HTML --
especially with regards to white space -- we provided our client a set of
guidelines so that they could use any WYSIWYG HTML editor. We then parsed
the files subbing out character entities for Flash Unicode notation
(\u), collapsing whitespace, etc.

Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday. 

...Rob

P.S. FWIW, using split/join, is probably the easiest way to do it.

Thanks Helmut.  With your lead I was able to come up with the following.
(There's probably a better way to do a replaceAll, but using slit.join is
least amount of code that I know of.)

function htmlAmpCharsToFlashHtmlAmpChars(str:String):String {

str = str.split(" ").join(" ");

str = str.split(" ").join(" ");

str = str.split("–").join("–");

str = str.split("—").join("—");

str = str.split("—").join("—");

str = str.split("‘").join("‘");

str = str.split("’").join("’");

str = str.split("“").join("“");

str = str.split("⁄").join("⁄");

str = str.split("€").join("€");

str = str.split("™").join("™");

str = str.split("←").join("←");

str = str.split("→").join("→");

str = str.split("←").join("←");

str = str.split("→").join("→");

str = str.split("↔").join("↔");

str = str.split("⇐").join("⇐");

str = str.split("⇒").join("⇒");

return str;
