You assume that if you've added an eventlistener to the button clip, in the
handler the event target will actually be the button. However, although you
added the MouseOver listener to the button, the event target in the handler
actually turns out to be the text within the button.
I would handle this in one of two ways:
*** In the handler function, instead of using target, use currentTarget.
*** Set the mouseChildren property of the button to false.
Either way, your rollover should then display properly.

[Flashcoders] [SOLVED FINALLY!] Inconsistent rolling over for a plane
Life is good.
I went through major pains to figure out the answersorry for the numerous
emails but I really wanted to learn this PV thing
the answer is to not have any segments..
plane = new Plane(material,navItem.width,navItem.height,0,0);
set the segments to nothing other than 0... otherwise it literally breaks up
the plane into that many segments with tiny space in between the pieces..
WHICH IS WHY THE ROLLOVERS ARE INCONSISENT.. holy ish!
and
WHich is when you would click it wouldnt work! You were clicking on the plane
visually but in PV3d u were click in between the segment..
I know this is no revolutionary break through compared to Mr D00b :) BUT im
sending it to you in case you have every grappled with the same issue..
Dang guys you have no idea how good this feels.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
Thank you Jack.. didnt know that - I'lll check out TweenLite and as some mentioned much kudos for the earllier non biased review by the way From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3 Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 11:38:16 -0500 You're right, Dwayne, for a lot of non-banner work, 8k vs 3k really doesn't matter. It can, however, come into play in local memory as tweens are created. For example, if an instance of Tweener has 8k worth of code driving it (not that every instance would take 8k in memory - I'm just talking about the variables/properties/methods stored for each instance) and you create 300 instances, it's that much more that has to get pushed into memory and chewed on by the CPU verses 3k worth of code. Again, with today's desktop/laptop processors and Gigabytes of RAM, it's not much of an issue unless you're working with a LOT of tweens, but in some cases it's important, especially for mobile devices. Some developers prefer lightweight, efficient and speedy whereas some would rather trade for a broader feature set. I'd encourage you to compare the feature sets because if you need a Tweener-specific feature, your choice is a no-brainer. But many developers find everything they need and more in TweenLite, so they feel all warm fuzzy inside when they get the size and speed benefits too. When you're driving around town, there ain't much difference between a Hummer and a Porche. They both get you from point A to B. If you're gonna do some off-roading, better warm up the Hummer. If you need speed and agility, get your racing gloves on and hop into the Porsche. :-) Jack -Original Message- From: Dwayne Neckles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:29 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3 Gys I'm very clear that when doing banners the is the big concern about size..

For general purposes, though, Tweener is probably overkill. I'm not bashing Tweener or Fuse or any of the other tweening engines out there. For a lot of situations, TweenLite is more than sufficient. When you need the special functionality that Tweener provides, TweenLite is obviously not going to cut it.

Still, I think we should be glad there are so many alternatives. :) Zeh Steven Sacks wrote: Tweener is proven to be significantly slower than TweenLite, and it's almost 300% larger (TweenLite is 3k vs Tweener's 8k).

RE: [Flashcoders] buttons lined up next to each other- rollout not work
OK
on rollover the correponding text clip fades in on rollout it fades out..
during debuging.. all of the targets are text4 and it shouldnt be..
clip0 should control text0 and etc..
but what happens is that clip0 to clip4 controls text4...
which is wrong, any suggestions?
Code below:
//this also sets the event handling in one shot
for (i=0; i5; i++) {
clipName = this[clip+i];
target= _root[text+i]
trace(target);
clipName.onRollOver = function() {
Tweener.addTween(this.person,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});
Tweener.addTween(this.whiteborder,{_alpha:100, delay:0, time:2});

No such problem here with either adjacent or overlapping buttons.
Please post your code. Here's mine for four buttons named btn1, btn2,
etc.:
for (i = 1; i 5; i++) {
this[btn + i].onRollOut = function() {
trace(this._name);

You're attempting to access instance vars in a static method. Make
min_num and max_num static.
Also, you don't need to put a constructor in a static class.
Also, you should follow common practice and put public before static
when declaring functions and variables.

The beginning of the portfolio has a couple hundred *tiny* icons that appear spread across the stage in a non overlapping random pattern. Thing is, it's not a normal distribution - with many more of the icons appearing to the upper left (origin) of the stage...then spreading out in a random but decreasingly dense pattern across the stage. So it turned out that using the squared random value worked really well in this particular case. I was kind of surprised how well it works actually. That link's a wonderful resource for these kind of things, thanks a million.

[Flashcoders] using AS to set the height and width of a new browser window

}
along with a event handler just attached to the button instance directly:

do you know of a way using actionscript (setting properties) where you can
specify the height
and width of the new browser window along with the positioning on the
screen. i have not been
able to find any reference for this.
in my html site i just use a javascript function to open a new window where
i can set the size,
position and scrolling properties which is then called by the ahref to open
up in this specific
sized and positioned window.
i tried messing with html but i did it wrong.

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?.
It's a real conundrum - so many sites provide their own Back button,
usually in JavaScript, some users look for that. Other users tune up
their
custom keyboards and mice to use the built-in Back/Forward capability,
others become very used to the keyboard shortcuts. Still others
religiously
use the browser's navigation buttons.
Last summer I project I was involved with, for a short while, required
browser navigation to work, while still minimizing load times for Flash.
I
left before that was implemented, so can't tell you how it was done.
So, to answer the original question - yes, ideally provide browser
navigation. Realistically, some Flash applications are so complex it's
not
practical.
Example? www.gigagolf.com, no back button, v. impressive RIA. (There's an
even more complex one mentioned a couple of weeks ago which can model big
share buys and the offer to make.)
So, as always, It depends.
