Re: [Flashcoders] AS 2.0 and JAX-WS

[Ktu]

Have you used the WebService panel that is built into the Flash IDE. I would
assume that if you can view the wsdl in the web service panel in the ide
that you can use it in code...

[Flashcoders] Runtime Align Panel package AS3

[Ktu]

Hey List,

I have created a fairly robust alignment tool I have dubbed VizAlign. This
package duplicates the align panel and more!

License: I was thinking of releasing under GPL.

Compiled code size - 5.8kb... for now

Features:
Straight Forward Human-like API
Ignores Nesting
Treat Multiple Objects As Groups
Works In Full Screen Mode
Use As Many Targets As You Need
Use As Many Alignment Methods You Need In One Method Call
25 Different Alignment Methods
Easily Add New Alignment Methods
TruePixel Option For Even Pixel Results
Choose To Apply Results Immediately
Or Just Get Return Values For Animating
70% Documented Using ASDoc

This is an example of the kind of stuff you can do with the VizAlign class.
Capabilities.html cannot handle grouping options.
http://www.cataclysmicrewind.com/viz...abilities.html
http://www.cataclysmicrewind.com/viz...les/groups.swf

Method Descriptions:
http://www.cataclysmicrewind.com/vizalign/examples/MethodDescriptions.html

View current documentation here:
http://www.cataclysmicrewind.com/vizalign/docs


Question: I have ideas for more functionality but am not sure if they are
worth it. Are you interested in this type of tool being released and
maintained? I see much potential for this package. Do you?

If enough people are interested then I will consider adding functionality
and reducing file size.

Re: [Flashcoders] help removing an display object created

[Gustavo Duenas]

Hi Glen, problem is that for each button it creates a different clip  
named newWindow.


I have them named and it works according to your last formula the  
name of each one is root1 + the name on the object
I 'm trying to make a code to see first which is the object that is  
already created like


function removeClip():void{

if (root1.displayObject.name =="contact"){
removeChild(root1.contact);
}else if(root1.displayObject.name=="aboutUs"){
removeChild(root1.aboutUs);
}else if(root1.displayObject.name=="support"){
removeChild(root1.support);
}else if(root1.displayObject.name=="process"){
removeChild(root1.process);
}else if(root1.displayObject.name =="enviroment"){
removeChild(root1.enviroment);
} else{ trace("everything clear");
}

That is exactly the structure of what I'm looking for.

Regards,

Gustavo

P.s: this is a wild guess I haven't tried yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] removing dynamically created movie clips(HELP)

[Glen Pike]

Try iterating / looping through the main timeline (the old AS2 _root) 
clip.  I don't think you can rename that one.


I think if you are using timeline ActionScript and adding children to 
something, it is always the clip your code is in - so in this case, you 
are probably adding to the root clip.  You probably should not be able 
to add children to the stage directly ;)

Hi Glen, I did as you said and this is the result of the first

I tried using :

newWindow.name = "newWindow";

but it returns nothing, I only have the phrase you have in the 
beginning of my email.

RE: [Flashcoders] dynamically attached not smoothing using BitmapData?

[Cor]

Hi List,

I don't have a solution for this (I wish...), but a question.
I try to understand the the use of bitmaps.
If I understand correctly, it is used to edit pixels of a loaded image.
But if there is nothing to edit, what is the benefit of using Bitmap???
Or maybe I should ask: When use Bitmap and when not?

Kind regards
Cor

Subject: [Flashcoders] dynamically attached not smoothing using BitmapData?

Hey guys

I'm having a problem with using smoothing on my loaded bitmap images with
AS3 and I was wondering if you could help, please?

Here is my code:
[code]
private function sendImageLoadEvent(e:Event):void
{
var nCurImg:Number = _arImageArray.length;

var bmp:Bitmap = e.target.content as Bitmap;
bmp.smoothing = true;

// create scale / offset
var bmp_xscale:Number = stage.stageWidth / bmp.width;
var bmp_yscale:Number = stage.stageHeight / bmp.height;
var bmp_scale:Number = Math.min(bmp_xscale, bmp_yscale);
var bmp_scaledWidth:Number = bmp.width * bmp_scale;
var bmp_scaledHeight:Number = bmp.height * bmp_scale;
var bmp_xshift:Number = (stage.stageWidth - bmp_scaledWidth)
/ 2;
var bmp_yshift:Number = (stage.stageHeight -
bmp_scaledHeight) / 2;

var bmpMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix(bmp_scale, 0, 0,
bmp_scale, bmp_xshift, bmp_yshift);

var bmpImage:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth,
stage.stageHeight, false, 0x00);
bmpImage.draw(bmp, bmpMatrix, null, null, null, true);
bmp.bitmapData = bmpImage;
bmp.smoothing = true;

_arImageArray[nCurImg] = new Sprite();
_arImageArray[nCurImg].addChild(bmp);
_sprViewingArea.addChild(_arImageArray[nCurImg]);
}
[/code]

I saw on grant skinners blog that adding a bitmapData property to a Bitmap
object will remove the smoothing property so that is why I'm re-applying the
smoothing to see if that makes a difference

It seems like this is quite a buggy thing to do (based on the amount of
unresolved forum hits in google) but i'd like to see if there's a solution.

Could it be the size of the images (ie Is there a maximum size to scale from
/ to / by)? Anything you've learned could be helpful.

Thanks for your help in advance
