[Flashcoders] actionscript bitmap text (no anti-alias)
Hiya, I'm trying to use the Bitmap text (no anti-alias) rendering method with a dynamically created text field but whatever I try, anti-aliasing is applied. Does anybody know how to do it?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 compiler error extravaganza
if you are editing AS files on a file server, this is more probably due
to the Flash timestamp issue. You can only really fix this by copying
class files to your local machine and working on them from there.

two classes. First lines of the problem class:

Topic.as: Line 3: The name of this class, 'as.memomaps.model.Topic',
conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded,
'as.memomaps.model.Topic'.
class as.memomaps.model.Topic{
This makes sense. Topic imports groupreference which imports topic.
Bad Andreas.
So how to work around this? I make a completely empty class called
DataSource, and have Topic extend that.
Then in GroupReference, i import as.memomaps.model.DataSource instead,
and have whatever variables were expecting a Topic datatype to expect
a DataSource type.
Whammy. no more errors.
The thing is, it's hard to simplify the Topic class down further: it's
got a very specialized purpose. So is my method acceptable? To me it
just looks terribly dirty.
Any suggestions as to how i can solve this kind of cross-import issue
in a more elegant manner?

Re: [Flashcoders] removing a entry from an associative array?
well - if it's an associative array, then the name of the element is its
index, so that answers your second question. And if you set the element
to undefined, you will get the same result as the loop you are doing...
startArray[entryName] = undefined;
(also, perhaps your code works but I'm not aware that is a valid
operator in Flash - generally you'd use != instead)

The only solution I see is to create a new array by looping through the array
like this:
function removeAssociativeEntry (startArray, entryName) {
newarray=[];
for (var i in StartArray) {
if (entryNamei) {
newarray [i]=startArray[i];
}
}
return (newarray);
}
This seems a bit silly, especially since I don't know how long these arrays are
gonna be. Is thery any inbuilt function for getting the index of a associative
entry?

[Flashcoders] using Array.sortOn with getter/setters
Hi,
I've been storing a few very simple Value Objects in an array and wanted
to use Array.sortOn to sort them. However the value objects use
getter/setters for member access - and the sorting simply didn't seem to
take place.
I've now converted the ValueObjects to use public members instead of
getter/setters - and everything is working nicely.
I don't see how this should make any difference to the way Flash
accesses the values in the VO - does anybody have any idea?
Here's an example of the VO with getter/setters that I couldn't get
Flash to sort:
class SimpleVO
{
private var __year:Number;
private var __clip:MovieClip;
public function SimpleVO(n:Number, mc:MovieClip)
{
__year = n;
__clip = mc;
}
// and normal set of getter/setters in here
public function get year():Number
{
return __year;
}
// etc.
}
Thanks - Nils.

Re: [Flashcoders] Singleton and Listeners is a bad combination
Hiya,
I reckon that it would be a good idea not to make it a singleton but
create new instances every time. The fact that you are running into the
problem with listeners is a pretty clear indication that you require new
instances to be created for every use of the class - not really the
right scenario for a singleton.
The FontLoader class could hold a static list of fonts that are already
loaded for internal reference - but the SWFs that are loading the fonts
don't need to know about that kind of logic - they simply need to know
that they can use the FontLoader class to load a font that they require.
Hope that helps,
Nils.

Hi Coders.
I got a class which I thought would be improved by using the Singleton pattern.
And it does, until I am adding in the EventDispatcher.
The problem is that my application will using the FontLoader.getInstance() at
several places in different classes and files.
The problem arises since you can set addEventListeners to the instance.
If you in class A has:
fntController = FontLoader.getInstance()
fntController.addEventListener('onFinished', fontsLoaded)
And in Class B you have the same as class A, just to state an example of the
problem...
The problem is that since FontLoader.getInstance() returns exactly the same
instance everytime. So when class B fontsLoaded is called, the fontsLoaded is
also called in class A.
The problem is that even though you can use removeEventListener, you might not
want do that since you might still want the fontsLoaded to be working in class
A another time.
One solution is that you in class A and class B doesnt have the same name for
the function that is given in the addEventListener -but that doesnt seem like a
neat solution to depend on that when several developers might write the same.
As well as boring for the EventDispatcher used in the FontLoader to call
listener-function which might not exist in the different scopes/classes where
the FontLoader istance is.
So I thought the best way would be to do the class ALL static, but the problem
would still be the same with the listeners.
I can only come up with one solution, and that is to do the usual, that you
will have to instanciate the class.
class A
private var fntController:FontLoader = new FontLoader(); // now I can have
listeners which just would listen to this instance.
class B
private var fntController:FontLoader = new FontLoader(); // now I can have
listeners which just would listen to this instance.
This will make them able to have listeners that wont interfere with each other.
Is this the best solution, or do you know of any other solution that you think
would suit this scenario?
Listeners are incredibly great, and I am thinking on the Key-class, that has
addListener, which is a static class and should suffer just as well as my
FontLoader-listeners does. But somehow it doesnt fit the FontLoader.
What do you think, any general advices?
Singleton and EventDispatcher doesnt come in handy when you are having the
getInstance() at several places in an application, or am I wrong?
Thanks.
