[Flashcoders] dynamically tween gradient

2006-12-15 Thread Scott Brantley 
I'm building a website. The background for each of the sections of the
site is a different colored linear gradient. Does anyone have any ideas
on how to build a class, prototype or series of functions that will
dynamically change the background gradient from one colored gradient to
another over a period of time? If anyone has any pre-built code and
wouldn't mind sharing I will greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

RE: [Flashcoders] Alpha fade problem

2006-06-01 Thread Scott Brantley 

You could use the alphaTo property of the tween class. It's much easier.

So, the following script will cause a MC to fade in. What would I change
to
make a MC fade out?

onClipEvent (load) {
loadTime = getTimer();
alphaTime = 1000;
myAlpha = 0;
this._alpha = myAlpha;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._alpha100) {
myAlpha = ((getTimer()-loadTime)/alphaTime)*100;
this._alpha = myAlpha;
}
}

[Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property

2006-05-26 Thread Scott Brantley 
Hi Everyone,

 

I'm having a problem with the dynamic text field autosize property. The
problem I'm having is that I'm not catching the correct height of the
textfield directly after the textfield is filled with text. In other
words, I create a dynamic textfield and give it a set width and then I
set all the properties (selectable, multiline, wordwrap, embed fonts,
autosize, html etc). Then I fill it with html text and then I get its
height. If you will look at my code below you can see that I have the
variables a, b, and c all set to question._height. Every single time I
test this and trace it in the output window I get a =34, b=92, and c=92
(92 is the correct height of the textfield). Does anyone have an
explanation? The text I'm filling the textfield with is loaded from the
data base way before this code executes. It seems that the code is
faster than the textfield can fill up. Is there anyway to detect when
the textfield has filled and autosized?  

 

test_mc.createTextField(question_txt, 1000, 0, 0, 385, 0);

question = _root.test_mc.question_txt;

question.selectable = false;

question.multiline = true;

question.wordWrap = true;

question.embedFonts = true;

question.autoSize = true;

question.html = true;

//flash is taking too much time rendering out this text

question.htmlText = p align='center'font face='myVerdana' size='25'
color='#FF'b+myHTML+/b/font/p;

//the following is jerry rigged and needs to be fixed

a = question._height;

trace(a =  + a);

b = question._height;

trace(b =  + b);

c = question._height;

trace(c =  + c);

 

Thanks,

Scott

RE: [Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property

2006-05-26 Thread Scott Brantley 

I think you may be right. If you look at my code it works perfectly. I'm
just pissed that it took something as stupid as getting the height of
the textfield in 3 different variables. It actually works on the 2nd
variable. You see I put all my code in functions. But, I don't use
classes and prototypes and the like. I was thinking maybe it had
something to do with that. Thanks for answering though. I posted the
same question on a couple of forums and got no response at all.

RE: [Flashcoders] SeekBarHandle ??? -- still problems

2006-05-24 Thread Scott Brantley 

Thanks Elibol for the traceClip function. I ran your function on my
seekbar that is named 'seeker';

It traced back: 
'seeker: _level0.seeker
progress_mc: _level0.seeker.progress_mc'

So it is telling me that the seekbarhandle is named progress_mc (I
guess).

But when I write a piece of code like

_level0.seeker.progress_mc._visible = false;
or
seeker.progress_mc._visible = false;
or
progress_mc._visible = false

It is still visible.

Look for the instance name using the flash debugger. You can also use a
recursive function to trace out all instance names of movieclips.
Something
like this:

function traceClip(mc:MovieClip){
trace(mc._name+': '+mc);
for(var i in mc){
if(mc[i] instanceof MovieClip) arguments.callee(mc[i]);
}
}

I'm thinking that you are setting the visibility of the movieclip before
it's instantiated. I'm not certain, it's either this or the movieclip is
set
to be visible at some point after you set it to be invisible.

At this point I can only give you an idea of what could be happening. I
will
check it out if you send me the fla ( you must send it directly to me,

UNC is undefined, and initial web searches decode it as University

me
to answer directly.

But I do know that for the answerable question What changed with
security in Flash Player 8? that resources are available with search
term flash player 8 security. Full-domain-name matching is one of
the
frequent catches, if that context is of help in this case.

RE: [Flashcoders] problems with unc paths in flash 8

2006-04-17 Thread Scott Brantley 

With the way the client wants this app set up, there will be no browser
involved. Basically the interface will be a flash 7 (I wish 8) exe that
people in the company will run on their computers at work (around the
country). The exe will get UNC paths from a database and use those to
play the flvs within their LAN.
Basically the app is video heavy! So they don't want to install the
videos and so forth on each of the computers. They can't play them over
the net either because they weigh so much. There are also security
issues they have with internet -- so that is most definitely out of the
question with them.
My fellow programmers and I have read every bit of documentation out
there on all the new flash 8 security stuff. We didn't find anything.
Doesn't mean there wasn't something there. I was recommended to this
discussion list by a friend and I wanted to see if anybody here knows
anything. Like I said it works in Flash 7 exe, so I do have a work
around. I just really want to use the new Flash 8 components.
Thanks,

 That is exactly what I'm referring to -- Universal Naming Convention

So, is the question something about accessing local files while in a 
browser, something along those lines? If so, then have you checked the 
docs on the changes in FP8, as referenced in the previous post?
