RE: [Flashcoders] Regain stage focus

My e-mail program drops keystrokes. Don't know why--I'm using the GMail Web interface. I just type too fast. So, there's no way to regain (or at least to rain...) focus without clicking at all? Not even by using a mouseover event or a timer inside flash? No, not as far as I know. You can set the focus on an input field, of course, but that won't take effect until the user gives your .swf focus. You understand the security issues, so I won't belabor them. I've run into the same problem. I'm writing a math game where the user's response time is important. If they have to click on the browser window before typing the answer, that skews the results. We got around it by having the user log in, so the browser window should have focus when the problem is presented. If the user switches to another program--say, during the intoduction--we have no way of getting focus back until the user clicks on the browser. I'm working with a couple of the best in the business--Mark Jonkman and Raman Pfaf--and they both tell me the same. And more rain on my parade: After uploading the flash movie to the server, some of the links in the dropdown menu have stopped working - clicking on the doesn't do anything, while others seem to be ok. And it's arbitrary per click... And this appears to be cross browser, while locally it's fine. Any ideas what I should be looking for here? Not much. I assume you've checked the usual culprits--the URL is formed correctly, your .swf isn't busy in a loop, no security issues involved, etc. I'd use the debug Flash player and FlashDevelop to trace out what happens when the button is clicked.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 ComboBox only showing 2 rows when embedded in Adobe Connect
Hi Andrew, yes exactly. Your class will extend the already loaded classes, that why you should try to copy the sources for the superclass into the subclass. This won't make a difference when you run your content standalone, but when running it in connect, you will override the already loaded class by your own class, if you get what I mean. My english is not up to par this morning hehehe. Again this is a pretty awkward hack I think, but it would be good to know if a class incompatibility is indeed the cause. Another option of course might be to use an entirely different combobox implementation and leave the v2 components shi. for what it is;) regards JC Andrew Sinning wrote: Thanks Hans. So, the problem might be that the ComboBox class that in my movie is never getting loaded because a same-named version is already present in the parent (Adobe Connect). I've seen this before. Question: If I have my own version of the ComboBox, say CB2 and it extends all the usual chain of classes, but those extended classes are already present in the parent, when CB2 gets loaded will it be extending the already loaded classes, or will it bring with it its own chain of classes? Hans Wichman wrote: Hi Andrew, this is a wild guess, but I once had a similar issue, though it's long ago and can't quite remember. The thing was that there was a difference in the ComboBox implementation between Flash MX2004 and Flash 8 I think, although it wasn't documented. You would first have to pinpoint of course if that is indeed the issue. It might also be the issue that some v2 components need to be present in the parent swf in order to be used succesfully in child swf's. If the class difference is the problem, you could try copy and pasting your flash versions combobox.as (with which your application does work) into a combobox class of your own, extending the old one for polymorphism and overriding everything, and then set yourCombo.__proto__ to YourComboBoxClass.prototype. Just a hack to see if that is where the problem lies :). regards, JC On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 3:36 PM, Andrew Sinning and...@learningware.comwrote: We've built an AS2 application that can be embedded into various LMSs, etc. Curiously, when embedded in Adobe Connect (also written in AS2), the ComboBoxes aren't rendered correctly. Rather than dropping down, the menus are displaying above the widget, even though there is plenty of room below. Even worse, only the first two rows are displayed, so to select any other rows you have to use the arrow keys. My guess is that the ComboBox is trying to determine how much room it has to render its menus, and that this is going awry. _lockRoot is set to true I think this might be handled by the PopUpManager, perhaps by its setSize function, but I can't figure out where this is defined. It's simply listed as a property: var setSize:Function; Any ideas?

Dylan refers to himself in the third person and has turned on this annoying feature in his email client that spams this list with auto-responses containing information that none of its recipients give a hoot about.
