[Flashcoders] How to install local help documents in Flash Builder
I've Googled myself to the brink of insanity without finding a way on how to install local help documentation. To be specific: I want to be able to get dynamic help when I work with Papervision. Does anybody know where to put documentation from a third party API in the file structure so it shows up inside Flash Builder?

[Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService object doesn't require crossdomain-policy file
Hi, thanks for all the response to my question about the crossdomain.xml. But... I didn't get a lot of response to the fact that HTTPService can access public feeds/content on other sites without the need of a crossdomain.xml Please check out the code included at the end of this post. I've created a small AIR application (with a certificate) and it works without a problem. Am I missing something? But again.. if my Flash app isn't allowed to access content on another site, I can always throw together a simple php-script that extracts the content for me that my Flash then can read... And then I can go ahead and create my evil banner ad. ;-) I understand that crossdomain policy files are here to stay. I just don't understand why they don't allow me to access content on other domains that I can access in other ways and then pass on to Flash. -- Johan Nyberg Web Guide Partner Engelbrektsplan 1 114 34 Stockholm 08 - 50 00 24 30 070 - 407 83 00 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Cross-domain policy - why is Flex more forgiving than Flash?
I'm getting tired of Flash's unforgiving cross-domain policy. Why can't I read an xml-feed, content produced by a php file or a simple text file without Flash wagging that finger in my face saying "No, no, you can't, not without that site allowing your site access in the crossdomain.xml". But why on earth is that so? I mean, the same file can easily be read by an ordinary browser!? What on earth could i concoct with my devious, malignant Flash application with the same file? And, I've also discovered that Flex is more forgiving. I can pull in content from another domain without said crossdomain.xml by using a HTTPService component. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this. And, if anyone can point out if I'm doing anything wrong here. But please don't tell me to get my domain name into that other servers cross-domain policy file. There are many situations where this is not possible, and where it would still be legitimate to read content from that site. And, as I said before, the browser doesn't need that permission. Nor does Flex, apparently.

[Flashcoders] Flex IDE syntax error checking not working
Hi, I have a problem with the automatic syntax error checking in the Flex IDE. It works on and off.. I solved this problem in another project I'm working in by right clicking on every as-file and selecting "Set as default application" (what does this mean, btw??), but in the current project I'm working in, this option is greyed out. This does not seem like the right solution, though. Thanks for any help I can get on this.

[Flashcoders] The issue of "parent" in AS3
Anybody knows if it's bad practice to type-cast the parent-property to the class of the parent? Since parent is a property of the DisplayObject class, you can only reference properties and methods of that class directly through the parent-property. If you want to access other properties or methods, you have to type- cast parent to the specific class. If you have some other "cleaner" ways of doing this it would be greatly appreciated!

[Flashcoders] Error in Flex for automatically created classes
Hi, I'm using Flex as an IDE for Flash development. When I instanciate Movie Clips in Flash that are inheriting from a base class, but that do not have a class of their own (i.e. the class is automatically created) I get an error in Flex. I understand that it's because the class does not exist, but is there a way around it? Or do I have to create a class skeleton for every Movie Clip that is dynamically created? Here is the function where I create movie clips from the library by using information from an XML. All the clips have Column as their base class): public function createColumns( _xml:XML ):void { for each( var column:XML in _xml.columns.* ) { var clip:Column; switch( column.name.toString() ) { case 'pokerRoom': clip = new PokerRoom(); break; case 'us': clip = new Us(); break; case 'bonus': clip = new Bonus(); break; case 'roomReviews': clip = new ReadReview(); break; case 'getBonus': clip = new Button(); break; } clip.x = column.x; clip.y = column.y; addChild( clip ); } } Regards, Johan Nyberg Designer and web developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08 - 50 00 24 30 070 - 407 83 00 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] AS3 Accessing objects properties on the stage from other objects
Hi, I have a question regarding referencing objects on the stage from other objects. You should be able to use the root from any object that has been added to the display list using addChild. But when I do so I get this error message: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property loader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject. The only way for me to do what I want is if I cast the root reference to the class of my document class. For example, if the name of my document class is MyDocumentClass it would be like this: MyDocumentClass( root ).theObjectIWantToAccess.someProperty My questions are: 1. Why do I have to cast the root property? 2. Is this the best way to go around what I want to do. To illustrate what I'm talking about, here's a snippet of code: if( this.inputBubble.x + this.inputBubble.width > PokerHandComp(root).frame_mc.width ) { this.inputBubble.x = x; this.inputBubble.bubble_mc.scaleX = -1; this.inputBubble.txt.x = - this.inputBubble.bubble_mc.width + 20; } In this case my document class is called PokerHandComp.

[Flashcoders] Timeline instance problem
I have somewhat of a headache when it comes to instances of MovieClips that haven't appeared on the timeline, and hence have not been instanciated yet... I try to keep as much code as possible on one frame on the _root timeline, or preferably, in an external class file for a movie clip that contains all content (that I usually call main_mc and that resides on the _root level of the movie). My problem comes down to that much of the code is dealing with defining code for different events for movie clips in my movie. But a lot of these movie clips have not yet appeared on the timeline when the movie start, and when the constructor for main_mc is run. Please don't tell me to create the movie clips programatically. This is not possible, since my movies are heavy with graphics and animation, and I have to be able to place things on the stage. I have solved this problem with some hacks: like putting one instance on the stage, but outside the visible area. Or turning the visibility off with code, and then on when it should be visible. But all this is cumbersome and makes me think it is easier to put some code inside movie clips, than going to lengths trying to make this work. I am grateful for any help I can get regarding this!

[Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
Hi, I have a problem extending an inherited function. I put all the files described here in a zip if you want to test it yourselves: http://www.webguidepartner.com/~johan/super-problem.zip I have this mother-class: class Mother extends MovieClip { public var txt:TextField; public function Mother() { this.onPress = killingFocus; //this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus; } public function killingFocus():Void { trace("testFunc in mother"); } } ...and this child-class that inherits from Mother: class Child extends Mother { public function Child() { super(); } public function killingFocus():Void { super.killingFocus(); trace("testFunc in child"); } } Now, I have a test.fla that contains a movie clip that is linked to Child. Everything works as expected, both lines of trace running on the onPress. But now: comment out the onPress-event in the constructor in Mother, and uncomment the second line: this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus; Now, there is a text field inside the movie clip. When this text field loses focus, you wold expect the code to run the same way, but no. The killingFocus-function in Mother is overwritten and only the trace in Child runs. I have some clue that the problem must have something to do with that it is the text field that triggers the event, and not the movie clip. But you would expect the super.killingFocus(); to work anyway, regardless of what calls the function?!

[Flashcoders] Smoothing on mported jpegs and moving on to web services
Hi all, and thanks for the advice on imported, rotated and smoothed bitmaps. It was the first time I used the list, and I must say I was overwhelmed by the amount of response. The answer was in short the BitmapData class. The only problem is that this class is only available if you publish to Flash player 8, and this player still only has an average of 86% penetration. I try to use version 6 as often as possible (around 97% penetration - http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html). I have another issue, this one relating to web services. I've built a quiz that reads data from a web service, and as long as I run the app in the player all is fine, but as soon I go to the browser, the sandbox restrictions kick in. I've tried using System.security.allowDomain, but to no avail. I also tried running the swf on the same domain (yes, top domain) as the web service, but that didn't do it either. Suggestions?

[Flashcoders] Allow smoothing on imported jpeg:s
Hi everybody, anybody know if there is a way to use the "allow smoothing" functionality on imported jpeg:s? I want to be able to rotate imported jpeg:s, but they look awful, and there doesn't seem to be a way to switch on allow smoothing with action script. Is there a work-around? -- Varmfrontsgatan 1 128 34 Skarpnäck 070 - 407 83 00 08 – 37 16 73 ___ 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
