Re: [Flashcoders] getURL and javascript not working in flash 8
Thats because of the new Security policies implemented in Flash Player 8. Check this article : http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security_03.html ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] How can I display a tall document?
1. set Stage.scalemode="noScale'; 2. set textBox.autoSize= true and then textBox.width = num; This will make the textBox stretch heightwise, and fix the width to a particular value (num). 3. After you set the text to the textfield, pass that height to the javascript code in the container html page. 4. Resize your flash Object size accordingly using JS. (getItemByID will help u get the object) This should work.

Re: [Flashcoders] >> While and Var
Dunno why I copy pasted 2 times!
The only changes were in the three lines where I replaced dtd with
_root[dtd]
You could use _root. dtd as well.
Of course you will have to optimize the code.
var dtd;
var spa;
var spa1;
var _txt:TextField;
var dt = 0;
while (dt<=99) {
dtd = "var"+dt;
spa = dt*5;
spa1 = (dt*15)+45;
_root.createTextField(dtd, dt, 0, spa1, 100, 15);
_txt = _root[dtd];
_txt.text=spa1;
_txt.border=true;
_txt.selectable=false;
dt++;
}
Reason why it didnt work in your case - when you said "dtd.text" you were
actually trying to access a text property of the string dtd. And it silently
failed ( coz dtd was not strictly typed)
You would've caught these kinda issues if you had used strict data typing :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting the class name?
instanceof does not return anything - It is not a method, but an operator.
You can use instanceof only to compare - like this:
var xx:XML = new XML();
trace (xx instanceof XML);
// output will be true.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback problems.
You should be able to change the contentPath property and change the currently playing video. You can have more than one video load into the FLVPlayback component by adding more videoPlayers inside the same component. You can achieve this using the activeVideoPlayerIndex and the visibleVideoPlayerIndexproperties. Now that you have said you are picking up the FLV's path from a XML, if I can take a wild guess, here, check this too: before assigning the FLV file's path to the contentPath property, check if you are actually passing a proper string value (trace out the type of the value). Since you are picking it up from a XML, you might be assigning a XMLNode instead of its nodeValue. Hope it helps. Regards, ~Arul Prasad.

Currently I have made it work by using the attachMovie() function and not keeping the FLV Playback component on the stage. I am using Flash 8 Professional and FMS 2. Could I be missing something?

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting the class name?
:)
that will work - but won't be feasible, unless you are checking against a
selected set of classes.
If they are classes that you write, the best thing to do would be have a
variable inside ur class right away called 'ClassName' and use it. ( like
how macromedia did in V2 component classes ;-) )

import in AS2, is to help you avoid typing in the complete package name everytime u reference a class. The following code import mx.controls.Button; var playBtn:Button; ... var stopBtn:Button; var pauseBtn:Button; will look like this: var playBtn:mx.controls.Button; ... var stopBtn:mx.controls.Button; var pauseBtn:mx.controls.Button; if you don't use an import.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject
createClassObject and createObject (and a few more) methods are defined in
the mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions class, and are added to MovieClip's
prototype when UIObjectExtensions gets 'initialized'. This happens, if you
have a UIComponent in your library. So createClassObject method will work,
ONLY if you got a UIComponent based on macromedia's V2 architecture in your
library.
createClassObject essentially boils down to a attachMovie internall. I think
the createClassObject ( and subsequently createObject) implement a
'enhanced' depthTable, which basically helps the components like ComboBox
work properly.
Its bedtime for me ( its singapore standard time here!), (and thanks to the
beer :P ), so I can't write any more. Hope all the above info helps you.

Arul Prasad.

I think the root movie clip does extend UIObject, as createClassObject

things like mx.controls.ComboBox, so I don't have to worry about

I may have to look into UIObject a bit more. I've been making some of
my own controls, but doing it using Composition, with the class that
handles the control creating (or being passed) an movie clip to use.
Maybe extending UIObject would make more sense.

Fwd: [Flashcoders] XML load and Draw line problem
in your code, make the following change:
for (var k = 0; k

Hi,
I figured out that if I hardcode the values things work, but if I use
values from variables, nothing works.
When I trace the variable values, they trace properly, then why cant I
use them dynamically???
Thanks for any help.

Re: [Flashcoders] width of a component in livePreview

When I reference the width and height of the component in my class, the values are always the default which is essentially the size of the boundingbox_mc.

If you want the elements to be in a predictable order, you will have to loop
thru the indices of the array.
If you can push them into the array in reverse order wont be a prob, try
tat. But as I already said, for..in loop is supposed to return elements in
an unpredictable order ;o)

You can also iterate through the elements of an array:

This code outputs the following in the Output panel:

Why is the data output in reverse order and is there any way of ordering
it one,two,three?

It's actually easier than attachmovie. Just make a
var newMC=new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);
feels alot cleaner that
attachmovie("gf","gf"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth());
doesn't it ;).
good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] Video project - advice
Also - does the FLVPlayback component work with Flash player 7.0? NO. You wont be able to publish the FLA with a FLVPlayback component, to Flash Player 7.0 swf. If you can get ur clients ( or boss ) to agree for Flash player 8, you can use FLVPlayback component. FLVPlayback works well with local FLV playback and HTTP progressive download. I just did a FLV player with FLVPlayback, configured for FVSS streaming and I had a few local FLVs for testing. I had the playlist on a XML file, and so had 2 versions of the playlist sml. One which pointed to the FVSS FLV paths and another that pointed to the local files. The only issue with RTMP was that my office proxy server wasn't letting the flv stream through.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help...cant unload the xml menu...!!
might be a problem with the URL.
1. Make sure that the ../xml folder is in the WWW folder of ur server, not
above it.
or
2. Try doing this:
var urlString:String = _root._url;
urlString = urlString.substr(0,urlString.lastIndexOf("/"));
urlString = urlString.substr(0,urlString.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
urlString = urlString.concat("xml/menu.xml")
menuInfoXML = urlString;
If it works, you may want to refactor all the statements above and make the
code optimal.
~Arul Prasad.
I've just elaborated in soo many statements, just in case you dont
understand.

Re: [Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using arraynotation
If its mx.core.UIObject's destroyObject that you are talking about,
destroyObject takes the instanceName of the object, not the instance
reference. you'll just have to pass the instance name as a string.
So, your code should look somethng like:
function killElements()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 35; i++)
{
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theThumb" + i);
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theHit" + i);
}
}
Hope that helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't access mc
But, Arul, what is the advantage of putting it in an onLoad function instead of the constructor? Just to be on the safer side, thats all :) Try this: add a trace each in the constructor and the onLoad. And test your movie. You'll see that the constructor gets called even before onLoad. Now, if your movie clip had a V2 component instance in it, and you added code in the constructor to addEventListener to the component,it wont work. Because the component wouldnt have initialize by the time of the call to the constructor. Placing that code instead in the onLoad method makes sure that it will work. ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] ListBox component, get Data (2nd Value)?!
AFAIK, addItem takes only the label and ONE data element. To save 2 data elements into the data part, you can make an array with both the values, and add that array as the data.

Re: [Flashcoders] extending built-in classes and scope

Re: [Flashcoders] String to array
Looks like you are not waiting for the data to be loaded into your SWF
before you split.
Try using LoadVars and wait for the onLoad event, and then do a split.
something like:
var _lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
_lv.load(FlashMenuLoader.asp);
var my_array:Array;
_lv.onLoad = function ()
{
mm_array = mivariable.split(",");
trace(mm_array);
}
Haven't tested that, but you'll get the basic idea.
Hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to write a class that loads XML?
1. May be coz you never really created the XML object. You'll need to define
the XML object as well, not just declare the variable.
2. Try using the Delegate class. Its pretty useful in avoiding confusions.
Now the code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class XMLoader {
private var postXML:XML;
private function parseXML () {
//do something with postXML
}
public function XMLoader (__file) {
postXML = new XML();
postXML.ignoreWhite = true;
postXML.load(__file);
postXML.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, parseXML);;
}
}
Hope that helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] Hi List!
If stripping off all html from an input textfield is what you are looking
for,
You will be able to do this in a simple process: I'll put in a lil function
in here:
function stripHTML(input:String):String
{
var util_txt:TextField = _root.createTextField("util_txt",
_root.getNextHighestDepth(), -100,-100,100,100);
util_txt._visible = false;
util_txt.html = true;
util_txt.htmlText = input_txt.text ;
var output:String = util_txt.text;
util_txt.removeTextField();
return output;
}
// Now to use it, assuming the input textfield's instance name is input_txt,
var strippedText:String = stripHTML(input_txt.text);
the strippedText variable will have the valid text, stripped off from the
html that the user typed in.
What the function does is, provide the text in ur input textfield into a
html textfield, and then retrieve the plain text from the html textfield.
This will make sure that the text does not have any html tags in it. (
please note - the code above isn't tested)
Hope that helps,

Scenario are:
I have a couple of dynamic text fields and input text fields where people
write comments, send messages, display messages/blogs etc...
And it goes to the server and returns back to the flash app (everything
works fine) but, I don't want people to paste or write HTML tags in the
messages etc.. But if they do I want flash to filter/block those tags out
to
display in the flash app. So when the text gets back into the flash app,
it
should only contain real text, no HTML tags at all!
Is that possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] Error 2152 when selecting Fullscreen Button on Flash CS3 AS3 FLVPlayback component

Re: [Flashcoders] Casting to Array
Danny,
You can use an Array method like slice() or concat([]), which will create a
duplicate of ur original array, and pass that to your function.
So your code would become:
function generic(tObj:Object) {
if (tObj instanceof Array) {
doMyArrayFunction(tObj.slice())
} else {
doSomethingElse()
}
}
function doMyArrayFunction(tArr:Array) {
...
}
Unless there is some compelling reason that you have to pass around the same
array's reference, this should help.
Cheers,
Arul Prasad.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions and comments. Many of them, I suspect,
would suffer from the same problem, though. For Steven, here's the problem
in a bit more detail:
function generic(tObj:Object) {
if (tObj instanceof Array) {
doMyArrayFunction(tObj)
} else {
doSomethingElse()
}
}
function doMyArrayFunction(tArr:Array) {
...
}
This throws a compiler error because in the first function tObj is defined
as an Object and the compiler isn't clever enough to realise that by the
time we reach doMyArrayFunction it has to be of type Array. If the class I
was trying to cast it to was anything except Array, I could use something
like this:
function generic(tObj:Object) {
if (tObj instanceof MyClass) {
doMyFunction(MyClass(tObj))
} else {
doSomethingElse()
}
But because Array has a special constructor, Array(tObj) returns [tObj]
instead of leaving it unchanged and just casting it to an Array.
The solution I used works much the same way as Ian's: essentially it takes
advantage of the fact that Flash's compiler isn't able to check the object
type of sub-items of an object or array, so it ignores them (and assumes
you've done your job correctly). John's solution is probably better from a
strict OO standpoint, but mine works well enough, so...
Danny

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with listener for custom class (AS3)
>From your cssLoaded and xmlLoaded methods, dispatch an event each,
announcing the completion of load.
eg
public function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
newXML = XML(event.target.data);
dispatchEvent(new Event("xmlLoaded"));
}
And on the timeline, you can add a listener to that event by doing this:
var fileForThis:fileImports = new
fileImports("courseInfo.xml","styles.css");
fileForThis.addEventListener("xmlLoaded", onXMLLoad);
function onXMLLoad()
{
// xml loaded now
}
Of course thats not the best way to code ( you could create a custom event
object to pass more data etc, ) but the above should get you started.
Btw, your 'fileImports' class doesnt seem to be a UI class, so you dont have
to extend it from Sprite. Just extend EventDispatcher class.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically attaching a movie clip to a class/object
You should be assigning the movieclip reference being returned from
attachMovie to your myPost variable:
myPost = _root.attachMovie("signPost", "myPost",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
Without that, your "myPost" variable is gonna be pointing to nothing.
