Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Dispatching events to further listeners, but not to itself
Hello, may I please rephrase my question, maybe someone will have a hint for me? By my PlayingCard objects I'd like to dispatch 2 events: Event.CHANGE and MouseEvent.CLICK I do it because in my game you can drag cards, but also you can select them from a list and click a button. So I could use same handler functions. My problem with the MouseEvent.CLICK is however that I receive it twice - 1 event comes from the PlayingCard and another one seems to be dispatched automatically. Is there please a way to prevent the latter event from being sent? Thank you Alex ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Dispatching events to further listeners, but not to itself
I haven't studied your code in depth - however, I would say this this
is wrong (whatever you are doing):
private function handleMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void {
// XXX trying to reuse the MOUSE_MOVE event
// XXX and to dispatch it to PlayingTable - fails :-(
dispatchEvent(event);
}
The Flash event system doesn't like redispatching the same event
object. To redispatch an event like this, try the following:
private function handleMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void {
// XXX trying to reuse the MOUSE_MOVE event
// XXX and to dispatch it to PlayingTable - fails :-(
dispatchEvent(event.clone());
}
HTH,

[Flashcoders] multi language support and font embed/styling best practices?
greetings list. the team i am on is building an AS3 site that needs to support multi languages. I'm inquiring about best practices, custom built classes/solutions, etc for dealing with runtime font loading/sharing vs. embedding... basically a font management and styling solution allowing external text. i've seen a few blog posts on the subject and was wondering if there was a general consensus as to the best approach. thanks in advance. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] multi language support and font embed/styling best practices?
The way I handle this is to use a server-side script to serve a swf file (as an RSL). I.e. fonts.php that checks against a language cookie (or session) and depending on the language serves up a different swf. The only thing you have to take into consideration here is caching, so make sure server-side caching is turned off for the fonts.php file and set the caching headers appropriately Locally, to test you can just rename one of your font swf's to fonts.php and test away. Hope this helps. - Taka On Sun, Dec 28, 2008 at 11:09 AM, Jah flash@gmail.com wrote: greetings list. the team i am on is building an AS3 site that needs to support multi languages.

[Flashcoders] AS3: Dispatching events to further listeners ...
You may need to look at:
stopPropagation() and
stopImmediatePropagation()
Could also have to do with event bubbling, and what phase these events are
firing at.
Here is a link to get you started:
http://www.flashscript.biz/flashas3/eventbubble/event_bubbling_2.html
Also, I suggest tracing out the events and looking at all values, ie:
public function mouseHandler(me:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace(mouseHandler(me:MouseEvent = : + me);
}
(Note: the '= null' I've thrown into this function is a little trick that
allows you to fire the function without a mouse event - can come in very
handy).
Good Luck,
SF.
