definitely possible. i'm pretty new to actionscript so don't laugh,  
but this is what i've been using recently.


mcButton.onRelease = function(){

}

(mcTarget, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 0, 600, 2, true)

target, parameter, easing type, starting coordinate, ending  
coordinate, seconds or frames, true for use seconds and false for use

Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with reapeat test publish

2006-07-02 Thread Digital Rust 
that's because the 2nd time you are actually simulating download. if  
you have a large swf without any preloading you wouldn't see anything  
happen until it's finished loading. you can either change the  
download setting to something higher, or just close each time and  
republish.

Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix this?

[Flashcoders] Text Shuffle Class

2006-07-27 Thread Digital Rust 

Hi, everyone

I found this script online awhile back and would like to make a class

construction.


Any help would be great!

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] switching between attachMovie and loadMovie?

2006-08-15 Thread Digital Rust 

hi, all

having some trouble with a holder mc that's loading content either by  
attachMovie or loadMovie depending on a conditional. it's working  
intermittently though.


if an item is sizeName == half and then the next item also is  
sizeName == half, the content doesn't load. one more click and it  
loads though. or it works if i go from a sizeName == full to a  
sizeName == half.


this is all within a for loop loading an xml file.

is there a better way to go about doing this?

thanks,
dave

curr_item.onRelease = function()
{
   if (this.sizeName == "half")
   {
  holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("holder2", 1);
  holder_mc.holder2.attachMovie("content", "content_mc", 1);
  holder_mc.holder2.content_mc.contentImage_mc.loadMovie 
(this.image);
  holder_mc.holder2.content_mc.contentTitle_txt.htmlText =  
this.name;
  holder_mc.holder2.content_mc.contentDesc_txt.htmlText =  
this.desc;

   }
   if (this.sizeName == "full")
   {
  holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("holder2", 1);
  holder_mc.holder2.loadMovie(this.image);
   }

[Flashcoders] Sorting/Matching Fields in Two Recordsets

2006-11-25 Thread Digital Rust 

Hi, Everyone

I'm pretty green as far as remoting goes. My programmer and I are  
building an amfphp based Flash CMS. It's really close to completion,  
but we're having problems with images and matching them to articles.


I have two recordSets coming in - the first holds various data -  
subject, body, date, etc... the second holds just the image path  
files for an article. An article can have multiple images associated  
with it. Right now, I can bring in both recordSets fine, the images  
just don't match the right article.


The module recordSets have a moduleID associated with them. The image  
recordSets have an articleID associated with them. The module ID and  
the articleID are the same value. I'd like to match these up with  
some sort of sorting function.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave



You can see from the netConnection Debugger that the id and the  
moduleid match up:


getPress:RecordSet :

._items (object #3)
..[0] (object #4)

...section: ""

...subject: "Subject One"


getAllFiles:RecordSet :

[Flashcoders] netconnection debugger in osX intel?

2006-11-30 Thread Digital Rust 
Do any other os X users experience trouble when using the  
netconnection debugger with amfphp in osX? I'm running Flash 8 and  
10.4.8.


It works when I first open Flash and make a few calls. Then stops  
working until I restart or reinstall the remoting components and  
restart Flash. Someone's blog mentioned that it's possible to make a  
projector of the debugger and run that in standalone, but that  
doesn't work for me either. I also tried serviceCapture, but it  
doesn't work with the IDE on osX from what I can tell reading on  
their forums.


Thanks,
Dave

Re: [Flashcoders] anyone using mCom?

2006-06-07 Thread Digital Rust 
I bought them and my experience is very similar. EXTREMELY  
disappointed. The skinning is good but the lack of documentation and  
support is appalling. The documentation has holes all throughout it.


I've never gotten a response from the support ticket system. Even  
when I wrote asking for a refund. Not a word.


"If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could  
I recommend purchasing them." - My thoughts exactly.


I'd be cautious.

I've been disappointed with the MCOM components.  Alot of that has  
to do with the lack of documentation and support.  They match the  
V2 API's in many cases, but in the cases where they don't its not  
always easy to figure out how to make them work the way you want  
since the methods and properties are not properly documented.  In  
some cases the existing documentation has incorrect method and  
property names adding to the frustration.  Then when you try to  
contact their support you're very lucky to ever hear back from  
them.  They have a support ticket system (not linked anywhere on  
their site), but I can't find how to access the page to add a new  
ticket, I can only get to the list of my old list of tickets  
(thanks to some old emails I saved). Its not a good support  
situation to say the least.


There are some bugs in the components, which is understandable, but  
without proper support it becomes a pretty big problem when you run  
into them.   I expected much better than this especially  
considering the price tag.


If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could  
I recommend purchasing them.


On the positive side, I do like the skinning capabilities.  Its  
flexible and pretty straight forward once you get past the errors  
in the documentation (I seem to recall some of the linkage ID's are  
wrong).  In most respects the components themselves are a step up  
from the V2 components, but only a subset of the V2 components are  
represented.
