[Flashcoders] MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL event not working for me.
I can't get mouse wheel events to work.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,mousewheel);
trace('mousewheel event set');
function mousewheel(ev:MouseEvent):void {
trace('localX='+ev.localX+' localY='+ev.localY');
trace('stageX='+ev.stageX+'
stageY='+ev.stageY);
}
When I run this simple test, and move two fingers over
my trackpad (Apple mousewheel) - nothing happens.
Why?

[Flashcoders] AS3 InteractiveObject.focusRect property.
How do I use the InteractiveObject.focusRect property? The documentation is sketchy. I can see that I assign (or get) an Object from it. Setting it to null defaults to the Stage.stageFocusRect setting. But how else can I use focusRect?

[Flashcoders] Re: Anyone hate flash 9 already?
Apologies to the moderators for this OT reply to set the records straight. So you guys think you're using Flash 9?? I think Adobe is doing a great job with showcasing upcoming technologies and ideas on Adobe labs. I applaud the effort they put into keeping developers in the loop, and listening to our feedback. On our part, we should not get confused, when we catch a glimpse of things (or parts of things) early in the development cycle. Nor is it appropriate to be overly critical. "hate flash 9 already?" - when we haven't even seen it yet!?

[Flashcoders] Re: Anyone hate flash 9 already?
WHERE DID YOU GET IT!? You can't believe how much excitement and disappointment this thread has caused me. I assumed that the flash 9 prototype had been released on Adobe labs. I couldn't connect to labs yesterday, which sent my excitement through the roof! I assumed that everyone was downloading the public beta, and that's why I couldn't connect. Today, I connected to Adobe labs - but no flash 9. Are you all on the prerelease program? Or is there a beta of Flash 9 that I don't know about? I'm dying to get my hands on the Flash 9 IDE Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] Re: How does goowy do it? (HTML in Flash)
Goowy email application? I haven't seen the HTML capability, but it's obviously possible to write a browser, or a subset of a browser in actionscript. I did this for e2website. But mine only interpreted a subset of HTML tags. If Goowy have implimented a full browser, then that's pretty neat programming. I'll go and have a look.

Re: [Flashcoders] Browser back button, is it necessary?
Is it even possible to disable it? How do you do that? (Unless, you open a new window with no controls). Or is there some technique I don't know? (JavaScript?) The problem with the back button is that people are very used to using it for navigating internet content. When I got non-technical people to test my Central applications (in the Central environment, not the browser) they would still ask "Where's the back button?". Do you Yahoo!?

[Flashcoders] RE: > Artificial Life flash resources
"Artificial Life" - that got my antenna waving. Artificial Life is a variety of learning/evolving techniques that are metaphors for natural systems. These techniques include; Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks (MLPs), etc. Just Like A.I., the principles are easy to understand, and not hard to program, but I suppose the whizz-bang added-value comes from how you translate your 'lifeforms' to appear on the screen.

[Flashcoders] Installing Central
(A little OT, apologies, but the Central mailing list mysteriously vanished some months ago) I can't install Central anymore? (MacOS 10.4.2) I get a download error. Is it just me? Can other people install Central? If you've got a computer that doesn't already have Central installed, try hitting any installation badge on my web site ( http://e2easy.com ) - and let me know if it works.

[Flashcoders] Re: Q for the Pro's: How did you learn flash?
I looked at the examples you gave. They're not based on anything complicated in ActionScript. Just moving stuff around the screen, attaching movie clips, buttons, program control... Programming is easy. However, these impressive web sites rely on something much more difficult to master - Graphic Design! I couldn't produce stuff like this. I learnt Flash 4 by teaching a room full of people how to use it - and just being one step ahead in learning it myself. I didn't want to lose face in front of my students - so I mastered it quickly. I was already proficient with Director/Lingo and an expert C++ programmer (postgraduate computing background). But I'm not sure if that helped. Subsequent versions of Flash had more powerful ActionScript abilities. At the time, I thought this was a pity. I'd actually enjoyed the challenge of using a reduced instruction set. I stopped using the timeline, and got interested in writing RIAs. Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
