Re: [Flashcoders] Reading and parsng binary file formats

I want to compare two files, but they are binary. The nearest example I can think of is an encoded text file. That is, no audio, video, sound, etc. but something like Word vs. ASCII or Quicken vs. QIF, etc. The idea is to compare two files to see how they differ. For this reason, read-only is fine. I know the ByteArray can be used for similar things, but I don't know the limits of such an attempt.

Replace that with:
formatter.italic = !currentFormat.italic;
The conditionals aren't necessary in that situation. :)

[Flashcoders] setting registration point via actionscript [AS3]
Hi guys ive been trying to figure this out now for over a week, i want to dynamically set the registration point of a dynamically created movieclip. ive come across a class by Oscar Trelles (a re-written AS1/2 class) that does what im after but it does not seam to be very portable and can not get it to work with my app. I have also tried to use negative values by creating a blank mc and loading the image into it, this gives me an image that's in the correct place but the blank MC does not use the negative values set so i have an overall MC thats bigger that it should be! So heres my question I want to create a movieclip with the X/Y set to 0 but have the actual registration point set to X = mc.width / 2 and Y = mc.height / 2 so when i use the transform controls ive created it scales, rotates etc... from the centre. I also have a second question how do i set the initial value of a colorpicker box via actionscript? this too also seams to be really hard to find the answer!

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when applying dynamic mask [AS3]
Couldnt get this to work for some reason i think its because its used from
within a class, soon as the mask is applyed it throws an error!
Ive decided to use SWFs insted of masking an image, but for some reason its not
correctly sizing the file its loading!
then the actual code to initiate the load is...
banner.loadImage("banners/" + xmlClass.xmlData.BannerRef + ".swf", 0,0,
bannerArea, 420, 173);
The code to load the file is
public function loadImage(filename:String, mcX:int, mcY:int,
mcName:MovieClip, imgWidth:int, imgHeight:int):void
{
_mcName = mcName;
_imgWidth = imgWidth;
_imgHeight = imgHeight;
_mcY = mcY;
_mcX = mcX;
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // Set loader
try
{
var imageURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename); // Set file name
imageLoader.load (imageURL);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoadComplete);
trace("DEBUG [imageLib->loadImage]: Loading image: " + filename);
}
catch (err:Error)
{
trace("WARNING [imageLib->loadImage]: No files are loading (" + err
+ ")");

Hi, Stuart,
This looks like a job for global function getDefinitionByName(), my new bff
(learned from this list).
You can't instantiate "item" just as a string. You need to call
getDefinitionByName(item) and then use that as your class def.
var classReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(item);
return classReference();

[Flashcoders] Problem when applying dynamic mask [AS3]
Hi i have another problem this time its to do with masking an object, here is
the code that creates a movieclip then loads an image into to...
bannerArea = newMovieClip(0xff, 0, 0, 420, 173);
addChildAt(bannerArea,0);
banner.loadImage("banners/" + xmlClass.xmlData.BannerRef + ".jpg", 0,0,
bannerArea, 420, 173);
Then an item is called from the library and applyed as a mask...
var maskClip = loadLibrary("maskMC" + xmlClass.xmlData.Mask.toString());
addChild(maskClip);
bannerArea.mask = maskClip;
This is the function that calls the item from the library (this isnt currently
working correctly but we have found a quick fix till we have worked out the
masking problem)...
private function loadLibrary(item)
{
var maskClip = new item();
return maskClip;
}
Quick fix for code...
private function loadLibrary(item)
{
var maskClip = new maskMC1();
return maskClip;
}
The problem areas is not loading items from teh library but its when it applys
the mask i.e. bannerArea.mask = maskClip;
Any one have any ideas?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]
Okay, but in the simple example, you are using it for both:
Okay, but formatter should not be treated as a property of _selectedBox.
_selectedBox has no property named formatter.
This is the offending line:
if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
You already have set formatter to the value of _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
Thus your conditional should read:
if (formatter.italic == false)
To simplify it to keeping formatter separate from the current format, let's
rewrite:
var currentFormat:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
if (currentFormat.italic == false)
{
formatter.italic = true;
}
else
{
formatter.italic = false;
}
_selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]
formatter is a blank variable and has nothing to do with reading the text
propperties its used for setting them! I need to figure out how to tell if a
text field is set to italic or not! once i can do this i can fix the if
statement!
do you have any idea how to do this?
FUI - New code is this
var formatter:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
{
formatter.italic = true;
}
else
{
formatter.italic = false;
}
_selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Re: [Flashcoders] embedded fonts
I too have a wierd problem with embeded fonts! When i set embededFont = true; it removes the text! :o( - Original Message - From: Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) To: flashcoders Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 4:50 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] embedded fonts wotcha i have a quick query about embedded fonts. I thought that when you used them in the movie, that you should call them by the Class name in the linkage identifier however when I try to do this, my text disappears (i have embedFonts set to true and I've triple checked the names), however when i use the font's original name, export, close the fonts and then open the swf, everything works as it should. Was I originally wrong or is there something screwy going on with this? examples: original font: Helvetica 75 Bold Linkage class name: Helvetica75Bold Name used as .font property: "Helvetica75Bold" // causes text to disappear Name used as .font property: "Helvetica 75 Bold" // causes text to reappear original font: Helvetica with B selected Linkage class name: HelveticaBold Name used as .font property: "HelveticaBold" // causes text to disappear Name used as .font property: "Helvetica" // causes text to reappear hope you can help because this doesn't seem right to me. thanks a ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Access
Hi tried this but didn't work! here is my code in its most simple form...
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class mainClass extends MovieClip
{
// Instantiate our classes
public var banner:imageLib = new imageLib();
public function mainClass()
{
banner.loadImage("banners/banner1.jpg", bannerArea);
}
}
}
Now the problem is bannerArea is undefined even though its on the root timeline
and we have no way of directly accessing it from within the class now _root is
no longer in use!

[Flashcoders] Access
Hello,
I'm having some trouble with AS3, basically if I create a movieclip using the
Flash IDE and give it an instance name of "mc_one", I'm unsure how to access it
from an external actionscript class.
Currently on the root timeline I have...
var _mainClass:mainClass = new mainClass();
Which instantiates the mainClass and within the class I need to access
"mc_one", but obviously "_root.mc_one" will no longer work.
I have tried this:
/* ... */
public class mainClass {
public var mc_one:MovieClip;
public function mainClass()
{
trace(mc_one); // Outputs "null"
}
}
The trouble is this solution does not work, it outputs null rather than [Object
MovieClip]
Help please!

[Flashcoders] TextFieldAutoSize [AS3]
Hi All Is there any way to autosize the height of a textfield only? I want to manually set the width of a dynamic textbox but have the user increase the size of the text via a button. I currently have it working how i need but the textbox cuts off the bottom of the text when its bigger than the textbox.

Re: [Flashcoders] query string
In as2...
on( Release ){
getURL("home.php?location=boston", "_blank")
}
in as3...
locationLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, location_CLICK);
function location_CLICK(ev:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:String = "home.php?location=boston";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
}
Only use the _blank' if you want to open in new window!
