[Flashcoders] Toon Fu!

[Alan Watts]

Hi all,

I have been working on an AS3-based animation app and finally have  
made a version public:


http://www.toonfu.com/help/

Anyone interested in some beta-testing?  There are still some bugs,  
but it's stable and usable.  I'd love to get feedback from some folks  
who are animators.


Thanks!
Alan

I am on CS3 with Flash Player 9.
Is there a way to deal with this in Player 9?

Thanks

The playhead vs actionscript situation is a mess in Flash since as 3 
first came out. This is the end result of flex being the only tool to 
test with. But enough ranting about that.


First make sure that your swf is published for FP 10, if it is, the 
situation is better.


If this is not enough (or possible), there are two ways of executing 
code before the rendering, but after the frame change. The first one is 
simple framescripts. They run when the frame in question is loaded, so 
per definition, they can't run too late.


The other way is the FP 10 new event FRAME_CONSTRUCTED that is fired 
just before the framescripts are executed.

First you have to define how to smooth vector graphics. Smoothing is 
only for bitmaps and it's supported there already.

[Flashcoders] getChildByName problem

[Sajid Saiyed]

Hi,
I dont know what am I doing wrong here.

I have a library item linked to a class.
The class creates the instance of the symbol.
Then I addChild
The symbol has three keyframes on the timeline (by default stopping at
first frame).
Each frame has different movieclips.
INside these movieclips, there are some more movieclips.

So lets assume this is the structure of my library symbol:

canvas (library item name)
| (frame-1)  canvasOne (instance name)
||-- mc1 (instance name)
||-- mc2 (instance name)
||-- mc3
(instance name)
| (frame-2)  canvasTwo (instance name)
||-- mc1 (instance name)
||-- mc2 (instance name)
| (frame-3)  canvasThree (instance name)
 |-- mc1 (instance name)
 |-- mc2 (instance name)
 |-- mc3 (instance name)

Now, when I call the following from within my class, it works:

/* code */
this.canvas.gotoAndStop(2);

but the next line fails /

this.canvas.canvasTwo.getInstanceByName("mc1");

Any Idea?

Thanks a lot...

That way anything loaded into that MC can be opted to be smoothed  
or not.

Less programing code if this was the case I think.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detect child parent

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Try

this.removeChild(myChild);

parent.removeChild(myChild);

Without the myChild reference in the beginning.

Or set the child in the beginning.

ParentMCName.addChild(myChild);
Then you should be able to reference the parent if was defined when  
creating the child.

Hth.

It sounds like what you are doing is
correct. Perhaps your child isn't on
the stage.

Try something like this:

if(child.parent){
   child.parent.removeChild(child);
}

Which will only attemp to remove child if the parent
exists.

If you expect your child to always be parented, you might
want to yell
loudly about it:

if(child.parent){
   child.parent.removeChild(child);
}else{
   throw new Error("This child doesn't
currently have a parent.");

Re: [Flashcoders] HTMLLoader

[John R. Sweeney Jr]

Why is this funny. The client wants a touchscreen kiosk (built in Flash)
that one of the elements is they want the to show the corporate website
within the app. Not a overlaid popup browser, but the actual site inside the
application. I've been told that AIR and the HTMLLoader will handle it, but
the clients site has Flash elements running on it, hence my question of:

Can AIR handle displaying a website inside itself, that has Flash elements?

Why did you say that that is funny?


Thank you in advance,

Perhaps we are miscommunicating. There is no instance of this mc being

That's part of it. I've used the teddy bear technique a lot, and it forces
me to really think through the process I'm using. I find that if I can't
explain my problem to the bear, I don't understand it myself. Forming a
detailed explanation has given me an "aha!" moment more times than I can
remember.

It often goes something like "I do this, then this, get a return value, send
it to this object, and get a void return... hang on... That's it! I have the
function returning a value, but I declared the function as void. D'oh!"

If you can explain the problem in detail, you can probably fix it.

Cordially,

I put a keyframe (F6) at frame 20 of the only layer in the timeline (which,
I believe would have made it loop twice...the mc is either 10 frames or 20),
opened the script editor (F9) and entered one line of code:
stop();
saved and ran (ctr+enter). It kept looping. Forgive my misunderstanding of
your instructions. Please clarify.
  
There is only one timeline to consider - the timeline of the MovieClip 
instantiated from mcHand.
The layer that you add the stop() to is immaterial - the best practice 
is to have a separate "actions" layer.

stop() goes on the very last frame of the mcHand MovieClip

I can't clarify any more.

Your responses tend to be a bit ambiguous.
"only layer in the timeline (which,I believe would have made it loop 
twice" - well you need to understand why a MovieClip might loop - (99% 
of the time a missing stop() action).


"The mc is either 10 frames or 20" - well it's not a question of "or" 
but "is". It can only be one length.

It's a bug that's been there for ages in the plugin version of the player

It's may take you ages to track down these bugs, but a lesson will be

Stipping back code until the problem goes away is a great technique.




Indeed it is!

  

I think I and others have already told you what the real problem is.




That may be true, but if that's the case, I've missed it. Here is
stripped-to-the-bone code:

package
{
 import flash.display.MovieClip;
 public class Main2 extends MovieClip
  {
  public function Main2():void
{
  }
  public function init():void {
leftHand();
  }
  public function leftHand():void
{
trace('left hand');
var mcHandInstance2:mcHand = new mcHand();
addChild(mcHandInstance2);
mcHandInstance2.x = 800;
mcHandInstance2.y = 200;
  }
 }
}

This is on the first frame of the only layer of the timeline:

var main:Main2 = new Main2();
addChild(main);
main.init();
stop();

"left hand" traces. No errors are thrown. Please tell, what have I missed?
  
If  mcHand has a tween on the timeline for that MovieClip, there MUST be 
a stop() command in actionscript at the end of the frames for the 
mcMovieClip. Without that stop() command the timeline will loop.


Paul

[Flashcoders] How to detect browser closure or user navigating away?

[Alexander Farber]

Hello fellow flashcoders,

is there a way in AS3 to detect when the user
closes the browser with your flash movie or
navigates away from the web page containing it?

I'd like to send short information to the server
when doing so. I have a flash movie acting both
as socket and HTTP client (depending on firewall),
so detecting socket closure doesn't work for me.

Regards
Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] Detect child parent

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Maybe..

var childParent:Object = mychild.parent;
childParent.removeChild(mychild)

or

var childParent:Object = mychild._parent;
childParent.removeChild(mychild)

Re: [Flashcoders] Detect child parent

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Actually I think your code should be

mychild._parent.removeChild(mychild)

But I am thinking in AS2, so this may not be the case for AS3.
Not sure.
