What is _style? You should be using textStyle. The docs have a working

Classes are "imported" not "included". Classes in the same directory
as the FLA don't need to be imported.
FYI: The F8 manual has some good tutes on getting started with using
classes. I recommend that you give them a good read :)

It might be a lot simpler to just do something like:
// Untested.
// Assuming clips are given depths based on ID
var highest_depth:Number = clips_array.length;
// click handler
function click_handler(e:Object):Void {
if (e.target.getDepth() != (highest_depth)) {
e.target.swapDepths(++highest_depth);
}
}
---
This should be fine for IIRC 2 billion+ clicks, with some caveats for
depths greater than 1M..

How exactly? An example would be good.
I find Number a lot more suitable and correct i.e. the aim is to
_convert_/_cast_ a string into a number. I don't want to _parse_ the
number out of a string.
e.g.
Number("1a") will return NaN.
parseInt("1a") will return 1.
Number("1 ") will return NaN.
parseInt("1 ") will return 1.
So.. Number():
a) doesn't mangle the data
b) depends on valid input - no whitespace etc.
c) is faster

You can also just use var a:Number = Number(b);
This is also slightly faster (IIRC) than parseInt.

Re: [Flashcoders] button action script
I'm not sure as I don't see any text on the buttons. But just a few
rules of thumb (or would that be rule of thumbs? :S) that I follow:
-don't put AS *on* objects. Always use them in frames. For e.g. in the
frame where the button is instantiated:
test_btn.onRelease = function()
{
//your code
}
This will make things easier to find, debug etc. etc.
-Try to avoid using _root as you will eventually run into problems the
more complex your app gets. This isn't as much a problem now as it was
pre-F7 but nevertheless, a good practice to have..
-Use the debugger to check the status of your buttons etc.

[Flashcoders] JSFL textfield recognition issue
Hi, I just ran into an issue with a JSFL script where static/dynamic textfields that are used in motions tweens on the stage aren't recognised correctly. I've uploaded a test fla and test JSFL script here: http://rapidshare.de/files/909/test.rar.html Essentially, the script acknowledges that a textfield is on the stage, but doesn't recognise its attributes. The textfield can't be modified in this situation. It is probably understandable if this happens in the non-keyframes of the tween. But it appears to happen to the keyframes themselves. Moreover, this seems to affect textfields in non-tweened key frames that follow in the same layer. What am I missing here?

Thanks. I was actually having trouble getting *anything* read by JAWS on XP + any browser + any version of Flash on two different PCs.

[Flashcoders] Slightly OT: Jaws
Hi, I'm trying to test the accessibility of my SWF, but for the life of me, I can't get Jaws [1] to read anything in *any* SWF - be it mine or any of the accessibility example SWFs on MM and elsewhere. I've tested the app on XP + IE6 and XP + FF 1.5 on two different boxes. I've also tried testing this on F7 and F8, and also compiling for 6, 7 and 8 with no luck. The SWF are completely skipped everytime. This is Jaws 7.00.135U. I'm sure I'm probably doing something silly. The question is .. what? Configuration settings in JAWS? Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] emoticons in a chat component
Hi, I'm pretty certain Flashchat[1] uses it, and I also recall a textfield component released a couple of years back that supported emoticons.

Re: [Flashcoders] Post awaiting for approval[OT]
No. The list will very likely no allow attachments, nor will it very likely allow a 100 pages of code.. Either put up your attachment(s) on a server somewhere, or with rapidshare/similar stuff, or find an AS friendly pastebin to paste your code.. And yes, David Peek stole your thread, and is not being flamed for it.. which is very surprising :P Take care, Karthik.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic text align vertically
I'm just typing this off the cuff: //if you have a multiline textfield named test_txt on the stage //and want to align it vertically to the center of the stage test_txt.autoSize = true; //Always set the text via AS rather than use the variable field test_txt.text = "abcd \n efgh \n ijkl"; test_txt._y = (Stage.height - test_txt._height)/2; test_txt._x = (Stage.width - test_txt._width)/2; //Stage is a built in class..

Best bet is to align the entire text field vertically based on its height. -K On 19/11/05, Paul Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have some random jokes and answers appearing in a "splat" graphic on > screen.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamic movieclip naming
I think you should ensure that hte movieclip is actually loaded
completely - most frequent cause of such errors.

Nope :( If you are looking for a way to prevent this from happening, google for stuff to prevent hotlinking of SWFs. -K On 19/11/05, Rajat Paharia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all - if my movie gets loaded into a page at Website A from a > server at Website B, is there anyway, from within Flash, to get the > URL of the page at Website A? > > thanks! - rajat ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
