RE: [Flashcoders] spacing horizontal dynamic xml menu textfields
He Thomas,
This stuff can be a bit difficult when making the transition.
Textfield has a really cool property called textWidth and textHeight, that
retruns only the width and height of the actual height :)
I have put comment in the code that explain it. Here is an example to demo:
var runningX:Number = 0;
// This is basically your data comming from XML
var itemsArr:Array = new Array("one", "different length", "piece of text",
"last bit", "evently spaced");
// It does not really matter what kind of loop you do, it is the way of
spacing them thst matters, so you can do your loop like you normally
would,
// here i'm just using an array to demonstrate
for (var index:int = 0; index < itemsArr.length ; index++) {
// You create items of any kind you like...
var _textheader:TextField = new TextField( );
_textheader.text = itemsArr[index];
_textheader.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
// You say that runningX is some value. since it was zero in the
beginning we are adding the value ontop of its current value (see line
below)
_textheader.x = runningX;
// ... And then you space them. You can use textWidth if using text
width
or plain width for object that extend from DisplayObjects or Sprites
etc...
runningX += _textheader.textWidth + 20; // +10 is the offset between the
items you want ot use. Can be any number.
// And then you add the child to the display list so it becomes visible.
addChild(_textheader);
}
Any questions, just ask :)
Cheers, Sid

Hi Kevin, I think its Capabilities.os (http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/Capabilities.html#os) And the properties you were taling about; Capabilities.touchscreenType are only available in AIR 2.5 for Android prerelease but this is going live tomorrow ;) Have fun!

[Flashcoders] Calling an element in an Array as an Class
Hi List,
I want to load some bitmap images, so i have created a class with embed
meta data in it, and i wrote a function to get them out and use them. But
it does not seem to work.
Can you use the 'new' keyword for an element in an Array?
Code below:
public class CarAssets {
[Embed(source="img/pro_car.png")]
private static const PRO_CAR : Class;
public static const ALL_CARS:Array = [PRO_CAR];
public static function getAsset( index:uint ):Bitmap {
return Bitmap( new ALL_CARS[index]() as Class );
}
}
}
I need some help (the code rather than me) because when i do: var
carImage:Bitmap = CarAssets.getAsset( _index );
it fails.
Or does anybody know a better method?
Cheers,
Sidney

Hi Michael, Thanks for the tip, normaly i would to, its just that this particular project has already set its course on using the EMBED method. Stubborn as i am, i still want to crack this nut :) So does anybody know how to accomplish this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling an element in an Array as an Class
Thanks!
The double cast was causing the problems. By removing the 'as Class' you
can actually make a new instance of what ever in in the array at element
n.
It works super smooth now :)
function getAsset( index:uint ):Bitmap {
return Bitmap( new ALL_CARS[index]() as Class );
}
Good weekend all!
