Re: [Flashcoders] Stage instances, nested clips frames (AS3)
hi, this old as3 feature has upset so many people that, as far as I remember, this has been fixed in flash player 10.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3
Yeh - this might not work - I already have a similar structure, and as the ComboBox adds the List to the stage.

Instead of using MOUSE_MOVE, create two Sprites on the stage. One as a content pane and other as a custom cursor pane.

Great links, Olivier! One of the additional oddities called out in the second link: if i trace the number of children i get 1 still, but if i do getChildAt(0), it traces null on the first frame That is something I noticed myself but forgot to include in my link. Really amazing! I am going to give the CustomWait static helper a shot.

[Flashcoders] targeting an event listner to a button inside a movieclip?
First time posting on this list, hope y'all can help with this one, it
should be easy, but having gone through what seems to be every
possible permutation, I can't get it right.
in the main movie, there's a button named upperoffice, and the event
listner correctly triggers the displayinfobox function to send the
movieclip infoboxmc to a named frame... the code in frame 1 of the
main movie:
upperoffice.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayinfobox);
function displayinfobox(event:MouseEvent):void
{
infoboxmc.gotoAndStop(mainoffice);
}
That works as expected. Now, there's a button in the infoboxmc
movieclip that I'd like to have send the movieclip to another named
frame, I expect that I need to have the event listener point to the
button in the movieclip, some thing like
infoboxmc.closethat.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeinfobox);
function closeinfobox(event:MouseEvent):void
{
infoboxmc.gotoAndStop(blank);
}
but that does not work
I get something like: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a
property or method of a null object reference.
at interactivecampmap1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
this should be pretty simple, but I can't come up with a path that
correctly targets the button inside the movieclip, can anyone point me
in the correct direction?

Make sure you line is draw as a Hairline and not a thickness of 1. Or if you draw the line dynamically (in code) then make sure to set the line style to no scale.

[Flashcoders] Fwd: Reasonable Expectations (might be off topic)
I have recently completed a project for a client that involved a heavy video component (by their request). I went to the nines on this one with a streaming server from akamai to help with the video load time. The main swf file weights in at 96K. The sub swfs that load in are about 50K. The video streams from the server. The original version contained bandwidth detection to supply video, etc. The client elected never to launch the project because they couldn't get it to work on a couple of their employees internal machines. I had it tested on about 200 computers all over the country before delivering without any problems. The client only tested about 3 computers at one facility and said it didn't work. I went to their place and tested myself and it worked on 10 machines. The ones that weren't working were IBM thinkpads running a 1 ghz celeron processor with 512MB of RAM. That's the only thing that I can think of that is caused the hiccup. Their internet connection came back at almost T1 speed but they still had issues with the video. Is it reasonable that it was the computer that was the barrier or am I missing something? They are now in a don't want to pay mode and I'm trying to show them that it was a problem on their end since I could never recreate the problem except on those few machines? Thanks and sorry if this is OT. I can post elsewhere it need be. I just thought that you guys have dealt with this on a wide scale with the scope of your projects and could shed some light on what i might have overlooked. P.S.

I think you have some ground to stand on, especially if they requested Flash and video.

After alot of testing we figured out that the vp6 codec at 30fps was the cullprit.

Re: [Flashcoders] targeting an event listner to a button inside a movieclip?
Michael,
Fix 1 (more like Issue 1) is probably the issue you're facing:
http://curtismorley.com/2007/08/15/flash-cs3-flex-error-1009-cannot-access-a-property-or-method-of-a-null-object-reference/
I've made similar tests that scripts just don't work because the objects are
not there yet even though you're supposed to be on that frame already. There
might be better fixes, but you could try a gotoAndPlay instead to
mainoffice and add a stop() to the next frame and have your EventListener
code there.

(It slipped my mind, this)
OR - you could use ADDED_TO_STAGE EventListener in that frame, and have a

Hi, depends on whether you are writing it from scratch or not.

Re: [Flashcoders] How much would you charge?
Good point. I'd recommend using SlideShowPro. It's cheap ($29), looks slick, and you'll be done in no time - your client will be none the wiser and you'll be $350 richer. http://slideshowpro.net/ Cheers, -- Carl Welch http://www.carlwelch.com http://www.jointjam.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Nov 13, 2008, at 10:25 PM, Hans Wichman wrote: Hi, depends on whether you are writing it from scratch or not. Seeing the huge amount of foto galleries already outthere including open sourced components etc you could save some time by just using one of those. Then it's just implementation time x your hourly rate. greetz JC On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 4:02 AM, dr.ache [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anthony Pace schrieb: What is a fair price for a simple photo gallery, in AS3, that loads the photo data from an XML file?
