RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3

2008-04-08 Thread Jack Doyle
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to mention a few things that
might interest a few of you:

1) The entire TweenLite family now does synchronized tweens.

2) TweenLite's big brother, TweenMax, was just released and it adds
support for Bezier tweens, sequencing, hex color tweening, and a bunch more
features. It does everything TweenLite and TweenFilterLite do plus more.

3) In addition to normal Bezier tweening, TweenMax has a bezierThrough
feature that allows you to define points through which you want the bezier
curve to travel (instead of normal control points that simply attract the
curve)

There's an interactive demo that lets you play with the Bezier
functionality, as well as a feature comparison chart for TweenLite,
TweenFilterLite, and TweenMax, and a Bezier speed test all available at
www.TweenMax.com. Of course everything is available in AS2 and AS3.

Cheers!

Jack

Tweenlite has one lil thingy against it though; tweens aren't synchronised.
It doesn't happen much that this becomes a problem, though I can imagine
projects where people want lots of tweens ending at the same time, which
simply won't happen with lots of objects in TweenLite, other than
that it's pretty sweet.

[Flashcoders] IE7 wont trigger popups locally

2008-04-08 Thread Martin Klasson
Hi People.

I am having trouble with opening popups from Flash,
I am using getURL to call a javascript-function that should open a popup.

it worked before, and it works in Firefox, but it doesnt work in IE7 when
trying it locally, but it will work in IE7 if run from a server.

It is an older projekt, published in Flash 6,
if I make it to Flash 8 and use ExternalInterface to call the javascript -
then it do work,
but not when running it as it is - Flash 6 with getURL - the
javascript-function will not
be reached.

How can this be solved - without digging through an old application and turn
it to flash 8 and
going that way?

I am using the SWFObject, in a version where it puts the allowScriptAccess

so it can not be that one that is bugging me.

I can not even make a getURL(alert('Hello World')) in IE7 when running the

 Suddenly it crashes, usually on the second compile, it's pretty

 What might be some possible things that could be causing this crash?

 The subclass has to do it's own imports even if the super class imports

 Anyone have any ideas?

[Flashcoders] AS2 TextField tabbing

2008-04-08 Thread Andrew Sinning

I have a problem somewhere in my movie but I'm not sure where to look.

Something somewhere is intercepting the TAB key and preventing it from 
getting to the object that handles the selection focus.


If I just create a movie with four fields then tabbing is automatic, but 
in my project I can't get tabbing to work at all.


Curiously, if add an event listener to the Key object, the onKeyEvent 
never happens for the TAB key.  As a test, I wrote an event listener to 
manually change the selection when ENTER is pressed and it works just 
fine.  The following doesn't do anything when TAB is pressed, but it 
does register for all the other keys pressed:


Key.addListener(textListener);
textListener.onKeyDown = function() {
   trace(key down);
}

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

1. Is this in the IDE preview (Ctrl-Enter), and if so, do you have Disable

2. Do you have any components on the stage?

No sir, I'm on good ole' windows xp.

I know one of the ideas about packages is that you can have 2 classes 
that are named the same, as long as they're in different packages.
However at this point, where i have ruled out everything that it could 
be it's time to start ruling out 'that should never happen's so I might 
try renaming all classes that have the same name as one another even if 
they're in different packages.

[Flashcoders] Accessing loaded content variables

2008-04-08 Thread Omar Fouad
Hi list,

I am loading an swf that contains two MovieClips into an AS3 Project, B1 and
B2.
in the fist (and only) frame of the swf loaded I added:

B1.Pid = 1;
B2.Pid = 2;

Now I would like to access that property from the class wich loads that SWF
here is the code I used:

public function getMap(link:String):void {
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Maps/ + link);
ldr.load(urlReq);
Map_Container.addChild(ldr);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
getProject);
}
public function getProject(e:Event):void {
trace(Movie Loaded); // works
trace(ldr.B1.Pid); //undefined.
}

How can I access it? In AS2 I used to write the name of the container like:

container.MC.property;

But how in AS3?

Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] possible reasons for crash on compile in flashcs3?

2008-04-08 Thread Rich Shupe
It sounds like you know this, but the case you describe can still be a
problem if you don't use the fully classpath in the instantiation.

Hypothetical example:

import com.thirdPartyTweener1.TweenIt;
import com.thirdPartyTweener2.TweenIt;

var tw:TweenIt = new TweenIt();

Even though the like-named class is in two different packages, the usage
isn't obvious at instantiation. You'd need to do this:

import com.thirdPartyTweener1.TweenIt;
import com.thirdPartyTweener2.TweenIt;

var tw:TweenIt = new com.thirdPartyTweener1.TweenIt();

But the compiler would probably warn you about this in a relatively clear
way, so that's probably not the problem. Just thought I'd point that out.

 Hi list,

 in the fist (and only) frame of the swf loaded I added:

 Now I would like to access that property from the class wich loads that

 here is the code I used:

 How can I access it? In AS2 I used to write the name of the container
 like:

 container.MC.property;

 But how in AS3?

 Thanks.

Are you on a mac? I've had lots of problems with swfs playing back slowly
on macs, but fine on pcs.

Otherwise, macs just work. ;-)

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing loaded content variables

2008-04-08 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto

init precedes complete, so if you use Event.COMPLETE the properties
of loaded asset are readily available.

In AS2 things were the other way round: onLoadInit is fired after
onLoadComplete.

Re: [Flashcoders] movement

2008-04-08 Thread Cory Petosky
My buddy and I were playing with some performance benchmarks we wrote
(put 100 bitmaps on the screen by manual blits to a backing
BitmapData). We weren't surprised that it ran stably at 120 FPS in the
Flash IDE. We were alarmed to discover, however, that the same SWF ran
at a mere 80 FPS in the Flash standalone player and was just under 60
FPS when viewed in the browser.

Windows XP, Flash CS3 Professional, IE7.

Yeah look at this
in the swf timeline:

import flash.events.*;

const ON_PRESSED:String = onPressed;
var PressedId:int;

B1.id = 1;
B2.id = 2;

B1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendId);
B2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendId);

function sendId(e:MouseEvent):void {
PressedId = e.currentTarget.id;
dispatchEvent(new Event(ON_PRESSED));
}


this works..
