Re: [Flashcoders] Fonts taking up too much space

Re: [Flashcoders] Converting a flash game to facebook app
If by dinosaur you mean you haven't done Facebook since the REST API was retired, transitioning to Graph isn't a big deal if you're not rolling your own but using one of the SDKs - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdks/ or the AS3 SDK Sydney pointed to. If you mean you're completely new to Facebook development it can be a huge pain, but you'll save at least a few days if you go into it ignoring all documentation Facebook provides other than the reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ Google will find blog posts by people who give step by step instructions for registering your account as a developer, setting up an app, setting up a SDK and giving you source code of a functioning app to look at.

addCommand (not included) does an addEventListener and maps it to the command

Where would you put a class that reads from and writes to the file system? Air.File has methods that produce UI elements.

Your code must be able to deal with the crazy situation that it got a

length int for the next object in one go.

How can I be sure the whole object is available before I try to use it?
Things work as expected most of the time, but with large pieces of data or on

object is spread out over multiple ProgressEvents.
I can only find pseudo code illustrating what you should do reassemble an AMF

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
I've been unsuccessful at finding an example of a functional AS app which uses
one of the second two approaches, I can only find broad descriptions of what
needs to happen.
It appears that Socket.bytesAvailable functions differently depending on the
version of AIR, either representing the number of bytes which haven't yet been
read or the cumulative total of bytes sent over the socket.
If I have to do this without looking at functional examples, how would one
transmit a terminator byte or byte size while using Socket.writeObject()?
Perhaps the reason I can't find examples is it's not even a good idea to try?
The problem I'm trying to solve is to transmit an instance of a class like this
from the server app and reassemble it on the client:
package mn.webershandwick.firebell.data {
import fl.data.DataProvider;
public class SiteVO extends Object {
public var siteId:String;
public var posts:Array;
public var profilesDataProvider:DataProvider;
public function SiteVO() {}
}
}
Socket.writeObject and Socket.readObject does everything for me but fails
consistently when the amount of data held in the variables is large and
intermittently at any size over a wireless connection.

It is a local variable. Yes, it is up for garbage collection the instant the

then the garbage collection may happen before that.

[Flashcoders] Getting ID in asynchronous SQLLite connection
I'm looping trough XML defining message board posts and inserting them into a
SQLLite database. My problem is I need to insert replies to posts and don't
know an ID to create the parent-child relationship. Code example:
post
contentGood morning!/contentreplysreply
contentEr, good afternoon I mean./content/reply /replys
/post
for each (var post:XML in _xml.day.(@day == _day).post) {
var postVO:PostVO = new PostVO();
postVO.content = post.content.text();
var postEvent:FDataEvent = new FDataEvent(FDataEvent.NEW_POST);
postEvent.param = postVO;
dispatchEvent(postEvent);
for each (var reply:XML in post.replys.*) {
trace('who is my parent?', reply.content.text());
}
}
The class this happens in is unaware of the class listening for the FDataEvent.
Would it be a hassle to maintain and understand if I made the class aware and
inserted the child replies with a listener for a custom event which would
return the ID? The way I'm inclined to do it now if to create a UUID for each
post which I'd know when looping through the replies.
Thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting ID in asynchronous SQLLite connection
The XML is for now going to be edited by account staff by hand, so the simpler the better. For now I'm creating a (fake) UUID using this class http://snipplr.com/view/45247/as3-globally-unique-identifier-guid/ - took just a few minutes to implement.

[Flashcoders] Simulating image in textfield in AIR
I'm trying to include an image tag linking to a library item in the htmlText of a TextField in an AIR app. Not possible apparently, For AIR content in the application security sandbox, AIR ignores img tags in HTML content in ActionScript TextField objects. This is to prevent possible phishing attacks, http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/security_3.html How can I get the same effect? _ _ _ Erik Mattheis | Weber Shandwick P: (952) 346.6610 M: (612) 377.2272 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Simulating image in textfield in AIR
Meaning I can load the asset from a location other than the library? Testing, it strips out img tags whether the content is from the library, file system or network.

[Flashcoders] Wait for several things to be loaded
I'm building an AIR app following the MVC pattern. Several parts of the model
have to be loaded or created before the view can be initialized. I'm doing it
like this - which works, but seems clunky. Is there a better way? From the main
class of the model:
public function Model() {
_database = new Database();
_database.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
_database.init();
_siteData = new SiteData();
_siteData.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
_siteData.init();
}
private function handleComplete(e:Event) {
if (e.target is SiteData) {
_siteDataLoaded = true;
}
else if (e.target is Database) {
_databaseLoaded = true;
}
if (_siteDataLoaded _databaseLoaded) {
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
}
}

[Flashcoders] Simple encapsulation question
I have a typical tabbed layout and am trying to figure out the simplest/best way to reset the focused state on the focused tab when another is clicked. Classes: Tab - contains graphics and a public variable referencing the MovieClip of the over state. Header - creates tabs, adds event listeners, contains array of references to tabs and a function to loop through them and remove the over state child. Is there a better way - to somehow add an event listener to each tab listening for a click on each other tab?

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple encapsulation question
Yes, I was hoping I could avoid the class of the tabs parent having to know anything about the Tab class. I think I'll go with Henrik and Glen's suggestion to keep track of the tab that has focus.

[Flashcoders] anone else @flashbelt10?
Predicted winners: CS5, cornstarch AIR 2.0 4or mobile, cornstarch;. Losers: Apple, Apple. Flash 10.1 on Android 2.2 is unbelievably fast. Saw a a 2000 triangle 3-d flight simulator on a NexusOne - flawless. Lots of wink-wink stuff about 10.1 for RIM too. The big letdown (and quick presentation repurposing) about no Flash generated apps on the iThingies has not been all bad - at least two presenters have instead chosen to demonstrate cornstarch and water on audio speakers instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kevqQHZSeao ... and FWIW, I saw a Flash app exported to an iPhone - yup, in native code, although 5MB for a hello world app. It was funny noticing many of the attendees sporting iPads Monday - hardly any today. Apparently, the word the bruhaha had not gotten out to all attendees, but it's impossible to miss the Apple animosity at the conference - there's been only a single presenter that did not at least take a couple humorous jabs at Apple, most speak directly about the dust-up. Look me up at tomorrow if you're here. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] preventing control characters from being typed

private function keyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {

etc, which captures a control-s just fine, but it types a box character into

That is certainly true to a large extent, but the exact same thing can be said of Quicktime. Secondly, Jobs has made a very specific distinction between the iPhone vs the browser. While acknowledging that the iPhone is obviously a closed garden, he has said that when it comes to the *browser*, Apple is all about open, non-proprietary, standards compliant, HTML5, etc etc. And clearly, Quicktime is just as closed and proprietary as Flash, if not more so. Thirdly, I dont need to tell anyone here just how central the video tag has been in the whole debate. How often do you hear people saying that with the video tag, Flash is dead, completely ignoring everything else Flash does?

RE: [Flashcoders] Oh the irony
Sort of makes one wonder if Apple knows Adobe isn't tied to a specific platform whereas Apple by definition is. Very insightful - a specific technology makes that technology dwindle, it's an unstoppable force. Adobe is more loose footed than Apple in the current bruhaha - creating the 10.1 player to work well across a variety of devices vs a locked down business model. Consumers and Adube won't give a f**k whether the creative output from their products is through HTML5, the Flash Player or some other technology. That said, if WebKit works identically across platforms, Adobe has nothing to lose by adapting the products to target it. The only way I can see this making sense for Apple is if they're aiming to eclipse Adobe with an authoring tool. And if it exports to Android, RIM, etc, well I'll adopt to it. But it seems to me Adobe is ahead in that game. (Sent from my Mac Mini, haha) From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Matt S.

Yeah, of course, if you ban it from devices, it will die, but that isnt exactly allowing the technology to evolve organically. Bad technology dies under its own weight. No one needed to drown Netscape or Director or Cobol in the bathtub in order to get rid of them. If Flash's day is done, it will die soon enough on its own. All Jobs has done is convince a whole swath of decision-makers that Flash is toxic and shouldnt be touched, even in cases where Flash is actually the superior option, and thats just a shame.

You tween objects got garbage collected.
I was bit very hard by that one in a kiosk touch screen that needed to have
certain things happen after the tween was finished. So when garbage
collection stopped the tween, things went very messed up and/or locked up.

Here is how I fixed that:
var tween_handler:Tween;
tween_handler = new Tween(mc,alpha,Strong.easeInOut,1,0,.5,true);
tween_handler .addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, doYourFunction;
function doYourFunction (evt:TweenEvent):void

tween_handler .removeEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,
doYourFunction);
// do your stuff here

i'd also recommend having a root node and an xml type declaration
at
the start
Right. Ok, here's my revised
code:
?xml version=1.0?
SITE
PAGE pg_name='index'
DETAILSThis is some more of the home page./DETAILS
/PAGE
PAGE pg_name='contact'
DETAILSThis is some more of the contact
page./DETAILS
/PAGE
/SITE
function
completeXMLListener(e:Event):void
{
var xmlData:XML = XML
(e.target.data);
trace(
ymailto=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;
href=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
switch (
ymailto=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;
href=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
{
case index:
pageDetails =
xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
case contact:
pageDetails =
xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
default:
pageDetails =
xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
trace(pageDetails);
}
MyTextBlock();
}
The first
trace nicely prints out what I would expect (I think, should have
been
on two lines):
indexcontact
The second trace
also prints:
DETAILSThis is some more of the home
page./DETAILS
DETAILSThis is some more of the contact
page./DETAILS
indicating, of course, that the default is
firing. Why?
TIA,
John

[Flashcoders] Timer object created twice in class
Here's a snippit and a timeline version of it - when I run it on the timeline,
it works as expected, but when I run it within my class it acts as though there
are two instances of the _timer object.
On the timeline, it works as expected, tracing,
1 1
True
But when I have it inside my class, it traces,
1 0
false
1 1
True
What am I not seeing or understanding here? Thanks..
// Version on timeline:
var _timer:Timer;
function init() {
_timer = new Timer(250, 0);
_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkPlaying);
_timer.start();
}
function checkPlaying(e:TimerEvent) : void {
if (1 == 1) {
e.target.stop();
trace(e.target.currentCount, _timer.currentCount);
trace(e.target == _timer);
}
}
init();
// Version in class:
public function Tracker(video) {
_video = video;

if (1 == 1) {
e.target.stop();

RE: [Flashcoders] RE: Timer object created twice in class
Ah, thanks. The event handler containing the conditional was being called
twice, I had an unnecessary dispatchEvent(e) in another class.
PS: I replaced the actual conditional with (1 == 1) when simplifying the code
to see where what was going wrong, ha. It actually checks to see if at least
five seconds of a video have played.

RE: [Flashcoders] letter from Steve Jobs on Flash
I see you're trying to be objective, but the crux of Job's bogus argument is it's impossible to make good apps for the iPhone in the Flash development environment, and they're protecting their consumers. Others have pointed out that even if this is true, which it's not, part of the problem would be that Apple hasn't worked with Adobe on making the Player perform optimally on Macs. Plus, the app store has a lot of crappy apps among the 200,000 that weren't developed with Flash; if Apple's concern was user experience, they'd be more selective in apps made available, regardless of how they were developed. And why the selective enforcement of the no cross compilers unless they're originally coded in one of three flavors of C? I'm a decades long Apple fanatic and own stock, but their recent behavior has been spiteful and benefits neither developers or consumers. Jon Stewart's commentary says it all.

Apple, meet shark. Jump! Also as others have insinuated, Adobe isn't vested in people having the Flash Player.

RE: [Flashcoders] letter from Steve Jobs on Flash
Well I hope you're not saying you're taking the ball and going home! Ha ha. Admittedly, I suffer from preconception complex in this matter as I've tended to seek out and agree with information that upholds my desire to see Apple as the bad guy here. I've read all the posts here on this topic carefully, and tried to do so objectively. I'm interested in hearing what facts I've put forth which I've been led to believe are true, but aren't. The Buisnessweek article about how Adobe shifted resources away from mobile is pretty damning, but still that doesn't impact the fact that 10.1 is aimed as best as it can at mobile. What I see now is Adobe actively trying to cooperate with other companies to improve the experience of Flash developers and consumers, and Apple actively trying to sabotage any potential for Flash to compete with the app store. But again, I want to be certain of what I'm relating about this to my coworkers, so I hope I get some factual corrections. I'd rather be accurate than righteous! Thx.

In the interest of just getting another pair of eyeballs on the problem, some obvious things I'd check for: - Are you testing with different videos, maybe it's a problem with the video? - Have you reproduced the problem with a video served from another FMS? Maybe it's a problem on the server? - Sometimes just quitting the IDE and restarting makes bizarre problems go away for me.

Here's the problem: I'm using the FLVPlayback to load a streaming video from a FMS. The bug that I'm running into is with the buffering state. Most of the time it works fine, but certain times the video will enter a buffering state that never ends. The last video event that's fired in this scenario is the BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED and then the video will start playing again but it won't fire the PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED event, and to go even further the video.state won't even change at all. My back up was to check on an interval if the video.state is buffering or not but even the video.state says buffering constantly at this point. The video is clearly playing but since the state is buffering it's causing me huge problems in my application. Is this something you have ever heard of?

RE: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreement Ba ns the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
OK, that sort of makes sense - the sort of because cross-platform compiled apps can already be accepted or rejected at the app store level. If money from developers was a major cash flow avenue, this would make total sense but compared to the app store, it's not, AFAIK. It seems it would be a financial benefit for Apple to have a larger pool of apps to choose to sell or not, regardless of how they were developed. Here's another settling old scores theory, but between Apple and Adobe themselves as opposed to the Apple vs MS theory I recently suggested, In 1996 when Apple was seemingly on the ropes, Adobe made a crucial business decision and one that is coming back to bite them in the ass. They declared that their primary development platform would be Windows; subsequently, every new application or major revision of a product was introduced for Windows first and followed months later, sometimes never at all, by a Mac version. http://innerdaemon.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/sorry-adobe-you-screwed-yourself/ From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Dave Watts [dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2010 11:13 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler A lot of outrage hass been expressed, but there has to be a why. Why? Because it makes economic sense for Apple, and it hurts a company that Steve Jobs doesn't care for right now. If you don't allow cross-platform tools to work, developers have to explicitly choose your platform. Right now, Apple has the market advantage - lots of people have and want iPhones, iPads, etc. So developers will choose to build for the Apple platform rather than building for multiple platforms, giving the App Store a continuing competitive advantage.

RE: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreement Ba ns the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
Dave Watts: I don't really think that's the right comparison, though. AS3 is a lot more like Java and C# than C++ is, actually. The core syntax is very similar across all four of those languages, of course, but the way you approach problems in AS3, Java and C# is different from how you approach them in C++ in many ways - primarily because you don't manage memory directly in the first three, I think. I'm mainly thinking of my coworker with a .NET background., and I'm assuming Objective C is closer to C# than ActiionScript. When you're up against deadlines and the decision to outsource or not, taking the Flash development platform off the table is huge. I'm just searching for the rationality behind the change in the developer agreement. Why should Apple care how an app was developed when they can already accept or reject everything already through the app store? Again as a Mac devotee, the first thing that pops into my mind is settling old scores. There has to be a reason behind the decision, and I'm struggling to comprehend it. Dave Watts: I I don't even think it's really that. Apple doesn't need to be the king, they just want to have complete control of their niche. If their niche grows a bit in the consumer market, so much the better, but Apple has always been about control over openness. Agreed, and a large part of the Apple appeal is consistency in the UI and they've always enforced consistency. How that consistency is achieved, as described in the change in the developer agreement is a whole new ball game. It doesn't make sense to me as an Apple shareholder or developer. It's just weird!

RE: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreement Ba ns the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
Thanks for the Theory, Carl - I'd elevate it to a Law: It's about harnessing the iPhone/iPad momentum at any cost - forwarded your insight to my coworkers. But I wonder how much of this is based on the old MS vs Apple war - calculated on the fact there's probably more C++ than ActionScript developers out there. I've been an Apple devotee since the IIc and will probably continue to buy Macs for my home computer. Own stock too ... I've a dumb Sanyo phone I'm upgrading one of these months, and even before this news, it was obvious I should get an Android device. Apple has always been both a hardware *and* software giant despite its small market share, unique. But they seem to be gambling that on a gambit that they can leverage their present advantage in mobile market to finally be the king. I'm thinking and hoping this hubris will bite them back, or at least not succeed. As a developer, I've tried to wrap my mind around Objective C, and that effort made my brain hurt. AS2 to AS3 pleasantly stretched it. Dunno, I've a .NET colleague and if you asked him, he'd say he'd rather approach developing an iPhone app in C than ActionScript. Thus, repeating, maybe Apple is trying to burn Microsoft by harnessing the power of the developers they've cultivated through .NET.

Subject: [Flashcoders] right-click triggers MOUSE_LEAVE?
I want to allow users to copy text from a dynamic text field. When I
right-click on the textfield the MOUSE_LEAVE event fires (which hides the
textfield - I intend for MOUSE_LEAVE to hide the textfield).
Googling, I find no results of someone else experiencing the problem I'm
assuming this isn't the expected behavior but am at a loss for looking what is
causing this in my code, there's no RIGHT_CLICK listener and from within a
class, I have
_stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, videoOffHandler);
where _stage is a reference to the Document class.

Reallly hoping for some help on this.. Making a portfolio site that handles both images and video. I have an flv instance and a sprite that contains loaded images. Images and videos work fine. The problem is if I try to go to an image half way through a video downloading. in that situation i jump to the image and once the video has finished downloading it suddenly appears. Going from video to video (halfway through a download) is fine as the source is being overwritten each time but when it comes to an image I need to use myFLV.getVideoPlayer(0).close() to stop the download. That works ok except if I try to go back to the same video which download I terminated then it says Error: Cannot call reconnect on an http connection . I cannot set the source to be or null either or it pulls an error. . Can anyone give me any help on stopping an FLV from loading once you have set the source and then being able to restart that download? .

The views retain their encapsulation/loose coupling as does the model. The controller however, is tied into calling specific methods on views - so it's tightly coupled. There are patterns to break this down further (i.e. Cairngorm uses Commands) - but I usually don't care if the controller has to call specific public methods on views. That's my take anyway, there are others that are far better at abstracting this than I am and certainly there are a million ways to skin a cat.

Thank you, however, I don't think this addresses my problem. My problem is
that I have an onMouseOver eventHandler that's running interference with the
onClick eventHandler. For some reason I can't figure out, that mouse-over
one mangles the on-click one. Here's the code for the mouse-over, and it's
pretty benign:
function onMouseOverHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onMouseOverHandler);
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
onPressHandler);
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x97f9ec);
...
I added the removeEventListeners to try and resolve the problem, but that
didn't help. Here's the code for the other one:
function onPressHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0xff);
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
onMouseOverHandler);
Navigate.to(e.currentTarget.getChildAt(1).text + '.html');
...
I shouldn't have to add that .html...that's what gets mangled. The rest of
the url is fine, underscores and all (where applicable), so it's not just a
duplication of the name property. I can't figure the silly thing out. Are
there other examples of where one event handler can mangle another?
TIA,
Susan

outside a function, ie
var myMC:MovieClip;
then you could change
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
to
myMC = loadEvent.currentTarget.content;
addChild(myMC);
and manipulate it
myMC.x += 10;
remove it

RE: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work the same online
What's broken about it? I recently had an issue with filters working
differently in the browser than the authoring environment ...

Subject: [Flashcoders] swf doesn't work the same online
Hi;
I built a swf that works the way I want it in Flash, but when I upload it, it
acts differently! I built buttons in as3 like this:
function nav(nname:String, nurl:String, myX:int, bgcolor:uint):void
{
myfont2 = 'Arial';
mydize = 15;
mytxtcolor = 0x00;
myborder = true;
mybordercolor = 0xFF;
myY = 170;
myfill = 0x97f9ec;
mynav = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = myfont2;
format.size = mysize;
mynav.htmlText = 'a href=' + nurl + '.html' + nname + '/a';
mynav.textColor = myTextColor;
mynav.border = myborder;
mynav.borderColor = mybordercolor;
mynav.background=true;
mynav.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
mynav.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mynav.x = myX;
mynav.y = myY;
mynav.setTextFormat(format);
var navdrop:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();
navdrop.color = 0x00;
navdrop.blurX = 3;
navdrop.blurY = 3;
navdrop.angle = 0;
navdrop.alpha = 0.5;
navdrop.distance = 3;
var navfilters:Array = new Array(navdrop);
mynav.filters = navFiltersArray;
var nsprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.name = nname;
nsprite.addChild(mynav);
var len:int = mynav.numLines;
for (var i:int = 0; i len; i++)
{
var metrics:TextLineMetrics = mynav.getLineMetrics(i);
with(nsprite.graphics)
{
beginFill(myfill, 1);
drawRect(mynav.x, mynav.y, metrics.width + 4,
metrics.height + metrics.descent + 1);
endFill();
}
}
addChild(nsprite);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOutHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPressHandler);
nsprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onReleaseHandler);
nsprite.mouseChildren = false;
nsprite.buttonMode = true;
}
function onRollOverHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x97f9ec);
}
}
function onRollOutHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
function onClickHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
mynav.textColor = 0x00;
mynav.borderColor = 0xFF;
}
function onPressHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0xff);
}
}
function onReleaseHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (e.currentTarget.name == ' Home ')
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x0e778a);
}
}
I can't figure out why it doesn't work online like it does in Flash. Online,
it's all broken. Is this common? What should I do?
Thanks,
John

[Flashcoders] Custom FLVPlayback skin volume control
I need to have a volume control in a FLVPlayback custom skin that scrubs vertically instead of horizontally. I'm looking for the class file I'd have to modify but can't find one that references the standard skin scrubbder, volumeBarHandle_mc. My thought is that I can have my vertical scrubber set the volume directly or set x position of an invisible volumeBarHandle_mc but am wondering if anybody can help me find the class that reads the position of the volume control in the standard skins.

RE: [Flashcoders] and now..CLIENT now hates Flash
Echoing Chris from earlier, I hope nobody here feels compelled to argue for Flash when it's not the best fit for a project. As far as a stock response to an objection to Flash, perhaps a question What features do you want the product to have and where and for who do you need it to run? Based on the answer you can confidently say Flash is the only reasonable technology or not. For the foreseeable future, HTML5 is NOT going to be the best technology for the most web apps --- most will need to run in a variety of web browsers, so Flash or HTML/CSS/JavaScript - iPhones and iPads notwithstanding. _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.

RE: [Flashcoders] and now..CLIENT now hates Flash
In my experience, it's been several years since I've had to think about providing alternate content to anything but search engines, the player penetration has been so high for target audiences it hasn't made sense to worry about. The two exceptions being when something has to be 508 compliant or when the target audience is people who work in the medical field - and my perception is that most web browsers that don't have Flash are in hospitals. _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.
