Subject: [Flashcoders] PLEASE help with advanced dataset issues

Hi Group,

I have an XMLconnector, bound to a dataset, bound to a datagrid.
Connector connects, fills the dataset, dataset is sorted and filtered, and
the datagrid is populated - lovely!
Except for the looong freeze while the XMLconnector does it's thing...

So I tried to fill the dataset manually, by populating it with an array...

This works fine, better in fact because it's faster and there's no freeze,
and I can use a progressbar component to show progress.

I can sort the datagset, and the results are shown in the datagrid.

BUT, as soon as I try and filter the dataset, everything goes pear-shaped!!!
As soon as I apply any filter to the dataset, the datagrid goes blank, and
if I trace the first record of the dataset, it's undefined...

I've been fighting this for 2 days, please help!

Thanks

Don

Play with nodeValue. As a test add the entity code into the XML file and use
nodeValue:

// XML

// AS
theClip.txt.text = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function

2007-03-21 Thread Rost, Andrew
The way you had your code, the Child class will never receive the
killingFocus call. Add a Delegate within the Mother Class to put the
onKillFocus event into scope with Child...

import mx.utils.Delegate;

class Mother extends MovieClip {
public var txt:TextField;
   
public function Mother() {
//this.onPress = killingFocus;
this.txt.onKillFocus = Delegate.create(this, killingFocus);
}
   
public function killingFocus():Void {
trace("testFunc in mother");
}
   
}

Subject: [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?!


Regards,

/Johan

RE: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

2007-03-15 Thread Rost, Andrew
You might be aware of this, but just an FYI, if you're concerned about
attributes being order specific. When you loop through the attributes with a
for statement, you'll get the attributes in the reverse order. I personally
loop through the attributes and push the attribute name to an array and then
reverse order, when the for is done.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

2007-03-08 Thread Rost, Andrew
Sorry miss understood the question.

You won't be able to write back to the XML file located on the server
directly. You'll have to add a logic layer (ASP, PHP, C#, etc...) that you
can send the new XML data and have that layer update your XML file
(XMLConnector, WebServiceConnector, etc...)

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

2007-03-08 Thread Rost, Andrew
All you need to do is set the nodeValue rather than access it.

var trial_xml:XML = new XML("This is a
category");
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = "This is a NEW
category";
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trace(trial_xml);
stop();

trace output:

This is a category
This is a NEW category
This is a NEW category

Hope that helps,

Subject: [Flashcoders] IE6 CTRL key problem.

Hey everyone,

I am having some problem with the following code in Internet Explorer 
6.0 on Windows 2000 with Flash Player 9. I am trying to write code for a 
hotkey to recognize when both the CTRL key and either X,C, or V is 
pressed in order to do copying and pasting. I will attach a sample of 
the code below. This code works in Firefox with Flash Player 9 just fine 
and I have been told it works in Internet Explorer 7.0

I have a keyListener object set up which contains the following code.

var temp = this;
this.keyListener = new Object();
this.keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
 temp.checkHotKeys()
}
Key.addListener(this.keyListener);

In the temp object, I have the function checkHotKeys which is as follows:
function checkHotKeys()
{  
   //Ctrl-X
   if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(88))
this.editCut();
   //Ctrl-C
   if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(67))
 this.editCopy();
   //Ctrl-V
   if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(86))
  this.editPaste();
   //Delete
   if(Key.isDown(Key.DELETEKEY))
  this.editDelete();
}

I added some traces for Key.getCode() in the above function and found 
that when I was holding down the CTRL key and then pressed another key, 
Key.getCode() would still return 17, effectively not recognizning that 
the second key was pressed. Alternatively, if I held down X/C/V first 
and then pressed the CTRL key, it would update correctly.

Also, I replaced all instances of Key.CONTROL with Key.SPACE and it 
worked correctly with space bar.

Does anyone have any idea why this would not work in IE6 and if there 
are any workarounds? Has anyone even seen this error before?

RE: [Flashcoders] >> combobox

2007-01-17 Thread Rost, Andrew
Also, when you load a clip using loadMovieNum, you're loading the SWF
directly into the timeline. When you use loadMovie, you're loading the SWF
into a target clip.

When you load a SWF into a target clip that utilizes components, you'll need
to set _lockroot = true; on the target clip.

var link:MovieClip = this.myClip;
loadMovie("combo.swf", link);
link._lockroot = true;

Hope that helps,
Andrew

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem capturing the ALT key

2007-01-10 Thread Rost, Andrew
Vipin:

My initial thought is to trap for the alt key in director. If the projector
detects the key is pressed, send a call to a function in your SWF.



-- prepareMovie is called before first frame is loaded
on prepareMovie
-- keyDownScript assigns a function for capturing and handling
-- all keys pressed.
keyDownScript = "checkKeys"
end prepareMovie

on checkKeys
-- Check to see if the keys are pressed. If they are call to SWF
--
-- _key.key uses the (ANSI) value that is assigned to the key, not the
-- numerical value. _key.keyCode uses the numerical value, not the
-- American National Standards Institute (ANSI) value.
if (_key.optionDown and _key.key = "j") then
-- If the AS function is in the _root timeline call with this syntax
sprite(flashSprite).altPressed()
-- If the AS function is in a clip timeline call with this syntax
sprite(flashSprite).myClip.altPressed()
else
put "Key pressed ="&&_key.key
end if
end checkKeys

Hope this helps...
