[Flashcoders] AS3 fl.controls.List instance change events not bubbling
Change events sent by instances of fl.controls.List in my Flash AS3 project have lost their effervescence. The AS3 Language and Components Reference states that change events sent by List bubble by default, but when I check the event being sent it has the bubbles property set to false. This is highly annoying as I have a master component parent containing many Lists and I just need to listen to the component parent with a single listener for the event. Does anyone know how to force bubbling into a List instance change event (besides re-wrapping the event in another dispatcher)? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] central up to date data
You're probably running into this because you're attempting to use
instance variables like static variables.
If you're just storing one variable, you can use a single static
variable in your ancestor class.
If you wanted to access this variable akin to a local property of
specific extended child class instances, you could wrap it in an
accessor. I'm thinking of something like the following.
//
// In Utils.as:
private static var _colorValues:Array;
public function get colorValues():Array {
return Utils._colorValues;
}
public function set colorValues(newVal:Array):void {
Utils._colorValues = newVal;
}
//
// In Application.as, which extends Utils.as:
// Inside some function, let's get _colorValues:
trace(this.colorValues);
//
This is totally untested, just off the top of my head.

Hi List!
I'm using a class named utils.as to store data like color values in my
project.
This class is then extended by let's say the application.as and the
menu.as.
Next in the application class I change the value of a var in the utils
class.
When retrieving this value from the third (menu) class I still get
the old
value instead of the new one.
What is the best thing to do when I want to keep my data central,
up to date
and accesible for all classes in my project?
Kind regards,

[Flashcoders] Non-latin glyphs for custom fonts not embedded in textFields
I'm having a struggle getting non-latin glyphs in my TextField instances to display properly. Environment: Flash 9, Mac OS X 10.4.10 Publish target: Flash Player 8, ActionScript 2 (yuck, but that's the corporate client) I have an external xml file with text in html tags. The non-Latin character data contained in these tags is reading in an propagating properly, as a simple trace indicates so. The problem comes down to displaying this text in a TextField. The text field in question is set to Dynamic Text, and uses a custom, embedded font. The font is linked to export in first frame, before the text field appears. The text field has All (54665 glyphs) selected as the Embed option. Inserting additional needed character glyphs in the Include these characters: field to force it to work doesn't help. Here are two implementation scenarios: Scenario A (doesn't work): ) The text field contains a Latin string by default: watermelon ) Try to fill the text field with a mixed character glyph phrase: tf.htmlText = Bang Приставки; Scenario B (does work): ) The text field contains a string beginning with a non-Latin character contained in the dynamic text string fed it: группы poopie ) Try to fill the text field with a mixed character glyph phrase: tf.htmlText = Bang Приставки; Scenario C (does work): ) Change the font of text field to a non-embedded screen font: _sans. ) The text field contains a Latin string by default: watermelon ) Try to fill the text field with a mixed character glyph phrase: tf.htmlText = Bang Приставки; I need scenario A to work, as I can't predict what non-Latin character will dynamically be fed into these localized text fields at runtime, and I need to use the corporate font for the proper suit-and- tie look. Trying to use special charCodes for the input text is also an unacceptable solution (and I doubt it would help as the encoded text is being read in properly, just not displayed properly). Setting System.useCodepage = true did not work either. So why aren't all embedded character glyphs recognized? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] full-screen mode and FLVPlayback component conflict
A follow-up and workaround for this issue, for those who care.
The issue of FLV blacking out the screen when a projector runs in
full-screen mode seems to affect the Video class itself. I stand by
my original guess that this occurs because of a security issue. The
documentation for these security issues mention that they do not
affect Flash projectors, but apparently they do.
It's less than ideal to rework the FLVPlayback instances in my Flash
document into purely ActionScript invoked instances, the artist-types
on the team won't like that. So for now I use a brute force global
event listener to set the fullScreenTakeOver to false on any
FLVPlayback instances, something like this:
// In main class constructor:
primaryDisplayObject.stage.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,
displayObjectAdded, true);
// A little later in the main class:
// Listener when any display object is added to stage.
private static function displayObjectAdded(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.target is FLVPlayback) {
evt.target.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
}
}
To summarize, I see two major flaws with this version (2.0.0.37) of
the FLVPlayback component:
Flaw #1) In full-screen mode Flash projectors FLVPlayback instances
completely black out the stage.
Flaw #2) The FLVPlayback component inspector should include a
fullScreenTakeOver parameter.

I may end up dynamically creating and displaying FLVPlayback

Setting the fullScreenTakeOver property might have to be performed
before the instance is added to the display list.

Re: [Flashcoders] ASO files, file times, and classes, oh my
I've seen this before, but can't clearly understand the root cause.
Most likely it is the cross-referencing bytecode compile bug that
plagues Flash 8. Deleting ASO files does not work in many cases.
I solve it by using my devilishly simple Compile class, as pointed
out in the recent Flash 8 OSX - Classpath woes thread. Here again
is the class, with usage help in the comments:
// -
/**
* Compiler class
*
* This is a simple class to aid in compiling other self-referential
classes that stubbornly refuse to compile. This frequently occurs
when a class (A) refers to another class (B) which then refers back
to the first class (A), giving the following compile error: The name
of this class, 'x', conflicts with the name of another class that was
loaded, 'x'. To address this issue, just change the import reference
in this class to refer to the problem class, and check syntax on this
class.

It's always the same error:

Also, I don't even have to touch anything - go to the main .fla file,
select Delete ASO files, and I get that particular error again (the
one
about System.capabilities). I haven't even modified the
System.capabilities class! (but I use system.capabilities in the

in various places)
This happens when I try to publish the SWF.
Try to publish it again, and it magically works! WTF!
I've tried to work around this issue by changing my system date to
a few
days in the future. This seems to temporarily work, but then
sometimes
it gets all weird again.
For a few classes that are being worked on, it's gotten to the point
where I can't even modify the class and see the changes when I reload
the browser without deleting the class's ASO file (at which point,
I get
the conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded error -
2nd publish attempt works fine).
Anyone know what's going on? Macrodobe, please fix this in CS3 if
it's

Re: [Flashcoders] local connection, online swf - local stand alone projector.
It's unclear what is different between execute the exe and just
click twice in the swf form versus execute the exe and access the
online swf form. Perhaps if you break down precisely what files are
involved, including html wrappers and locations, and precise
execution order, it would help.
The documentation for LocalConnection.send states the syntax for the
third argument is an Object, and you've put in a string literal. This
probably doesn't make a difference as Flash seems to do a lot of
behind the scenes casting, but it wouldn't hurt to change your code
to conform.

[Flashcoders] LocalConnection via localhost failure
I'm having a tough time getting a simple LocalConnection connection
working.
Scenario: Flash 8, AS 2, two separate Flash projectors.
Procedure:
1) Projector A starts LocalConnection.connect.
2) Projector A opens Projector B via fscommand.
3) Project B initializes, then starts LocalConnection.send using
connectionName from step A. No arguments are sent.
4) Nothing happens, no onStatus calls are triggered either on the
LocalConnection instance or at the System level. The method does not
get called. Both connect and send calls return true.
This is all occurring on the localhost sandbox, so I'm pretty sure I
don't have to deal with security shenanigans. The code is all
contained in static singleton classes, so the LocalConnection objects
are class properties.

Re: [Flashcoders] accessing a remote database - possible?
It is very possible, but the methods are myriad. It depends upon what kind of server or webservice you need to connect to, and the version of Flash you are using. If your needs are simple and you're using Flash v6 - 8, you can use the LoadVars class to get and send string data. If your needs are complex you may want to investigate using Flash 9 ActionScript 3 or Flex 2, which offers sophisticated data UI components and handling. I personally recommend looking into AMFPHP ( http://amfphp.sourceforge.net/ ), which is free and provides a great mechanism for interfacing Flash with PHP MySQL. regards, Steve On 2007-05-03, at 1:55 PM, BOYD SPEER wrote: I have a Flash frontend for a client's website.

Re: class name conflicts bug [Was: [Flashcoders] (no subject)]
I know this is an old message and an old enemy, but I though I'd
share a workaround that seems to do the trick.
When I get these errors (and I know my code is clean), I just delete
my classpath settings (Preferences ActionScript ActionScript 2.0
Settings) and click OK. Then I reset the settings back the way they
were, click OK, check syntax again and the problem is gone. You might
have to throw in a Delete ASO Files command as well.
I'm working with properly packaged reverse domain name as files (com/
myco/category/file.as), so that probably makes a difference as well.

is fine (for a while)!
No amount of deleting ASO cache solves it (in fact, some say it
compounds
the problem).
Here is an extensive outline of the problem which a) doesn't seem
to provide
a solution (other than saying you can safely ignore the error) and b)
doesn't suggest how to prevent the problem arising.

If anyone can shed any more light on how to prevent this quirk, I'd be
grateful.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mute Flash Application, mac.
Two utilities that come to mind for audio routing on Mac OS X are Soundflower ( http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower ) and Audio Hijack ( http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/ ). It's been a while since I've played about with either. It appears from the screenshot of Audio Hijack that it can mute audio.

[Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue
I'm having a problem creating an Alert window instance which renders in a layer depth above all other stage elements. The Alert window consistently renders behind some other programatically instantiated movieClip elements. When creating the Alert, I've tried setting the parent parameter (using Alert.show()) to an element which is a subclass of the UIComponent class which is attached to a movieClip on a layer way on top of all other layers in the movie, but the problem persists. The Alert window is centered within this element fine, but it appears beneath it and other elements. Perhaps at the root of my problem is a misunderstanding of the parent parameter of the Alert.show() method. The documentation refers to this as the parent window which must be a subclass of the UIComponent class or the _root timeline. Is the Alert window depth truly inherited from the parent? Is there some method in the UIObject class to change the object instance depth? I'm using Flash 8, ActionScript 2.0. Here's what my Alert instantiation looks like : // test using simple button instance as parent Alert.show(Start?, Alert, Alert.YES | Alert.NO, _root.alertParent_mc.my_button, _global.myController.myAlertClick); // same depth layering as: Alert.show(Start?, Alert, Alert.YES | Alert.NO, undefined, _global.myController.myAlertClick); ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue
Problem solved, thanks to you! Alert.show() does return an instance (part 1 of the puzzle), which can then be forced to the top via the DepthManager (part 2 of the puzzle), a class I didn't know existed. Thanks again JesterXL. On Apr 3, 2006, at 6:05 PM, JesterXL wrote: It may be too late, but typically Alert's are created on _root. This is also how ComboBox's and other popups in the PopUpManager are created. If you put 1 movieclip on _root, and put you're entire app in it, you should have no problems. If you creating your own custom movieclips on _root, don't. If you still have to, investigate using PopUpManager instead and using some of DepthManager's constants. Alert.show does return an instance, so if you're brave, you can force it up. - Original Message - From: Stephen Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 8:49 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue I'm having a problem creating an Alert window instance which renders in a layer depth above all other stage elements.
