Re: [Flashcoders] Some CS3 observations; library and sound
I don't really know what is the exact issue, but I find exception
handling very useful in AS3.
This should work too:
try
{
channel.stop();
}
catch (err:Error)
{
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Hebrew in Flash?
Nik, While Flash does support Unicode the TextField object doesn't render properly when Left To Right. Your data will be intact and correctly formatted but it will render incorrectly.

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData GlowFilter zebra effect?
Seems like you are applying the filter many times. That would be my guess. Using the filters array makes sure that you apply it only once. Best, Yotam.

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] init TextFormat prop in a class
BTW, you also can't do this:
class MyClass
{
private static var kMyState:String = value; // good
private static var kMyInitialState:String = kMyState; // bad
}
You've have to write
private static var kMyInitialState:String = value;
in order to get the compiler to allow this.
-mark
I don't think you are correct on that one.
class a {
private static var kMyState:String = value;
private static var kMyInitialState:String = kMyState;
static function echo() {
trace(kMyInitialState);
}
}
b = new a();
a.echo();
// outputs: value
It works well.

Is this how the Date object handles it? By adding a notch to the timezoneOffset? My computer is set to GMT+ (London), daylight saving is on, Windows 2000 with Flash 2004. Publishing to player 7.

Re: [Flashcoders] timezoneOffset inconsistencies
Thank Robert. I need to process times in various dates around the year and display them. That is easy as the time is sent to me as String and I know that it is always GMT+0100. The problems is that I need to countdown to the time. I cannot compensate for different time zones because timezoneOffset () doesn't return a reliable answer. With no way of knowing whether daylight saving is turned on or off and no way of knowing what's the time offset, how can this be done? Does UTC hold the solution here? Thanks, Yotam.

Re: [Flashcoders] ScrollPane Pain
Make sure you execute everything after the component has initialized. A good
way is to handle things with your Class's onLoad event.
class a extends MovieClip {
private var __sp:ScrollPane
function a () {
}
function onLoad () {
__sp.content = yourlinkage
}
}
other than that maybe you just need to __sp.invalidate () ?

Re: [Flashcoders] FP8 AS2 color picker and comboBox
If there's one piece of advice I can give you is to stay awat from Jumpeye Software's Color Picker Pro. It looks really nice and is very slick until you try and use it in a real world application. You CANNOT open the color picker with predefined values. The rainbow picker and lightness values don't adjust to the values. Sure, some of the color picker does respond, but not those parts. They say in the site and in the help docs that you can open the component with predefined values, you CANNOT, unless you don't care about the GUI NOT BEING IN SYNC with the actual values. I've been flipping over this component for days now trying to get it to work. Tech support took forever to answer and when they did all they could say that it's not implemented. Is this not expected behaviour? When I asked to be refunded because it doesn't do what it says on the box the cheeky bastard told me that I'm not eligible for a refund. He did offer to sell me his source code for $400 so that I can finish his work. Considering the fact that I can write one myself and all I wanted to do was save development time.. well... there you go. Thanks for nothing.

[Flashcoders] XML Form Collection Names
Hello List, I am trying to sendAndLoad XML data to a web service that requires that I set the name of the data in the Form Collection. My server-side people insist that this is how it should be done, although I never needed to set anyhing and sendAndLoad would always just work in the past. This is the trace from the server script, note on the bottom the Form Collection part. It is now formatted in the way that they would like it to be. Headers Collection NameValue Pragma no-cache Content-Length 140 Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded Host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:90 Referer http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:90/flashfolio.service.asmx/AssetList User-AgentShockwave Flash x-flash-version8,0,22,0 Form Collection NameValue RequestXML flash_folioxml data goes here/flash_folio I've managed to make this work by using a LoadVars object like this: var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars (); lv.RequestXML = new XML (flash_folioxml data goes here/flash_folio); But the XML string which is returned is escaped in a manner that I can't unescape it using unescape (str). Is there a way to set the name for the XML string using the XML object? Any ideas? Has Anyone come across this before? I'm pretty puzzled here.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to auto-maximze font size
You can just set the entire string and then set the _width and _height values of the encompassing movieclip to be whatever you like. On 28/01/06, Andrew Sinning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've tried searching for scripts on this subject, but the subject is just too ambiguous. Here's what I'm after: You (or your designer) has laid out a movieClip with an allocated dynamic textField to be populated with un unknown string. Perhaps the string is going to come from a translation table, or it will be an alert message, or the name of the user. At runtime, you want the text to be displayed at the largest font size possible, without exceeding the boundaries allocated by the designer. Also, you don't want words to be wrapped mid-word, but (optionally) the string can be wrapped between words. Ideally, if the designer decides to distort or resize the movieClip (or any parent) that contains the textField, the script will still work. This last criterion may be beyond the scope of MX04, where I've found that the formatting of dynamic text is often compromised when the parent is distorted. Has this been improved in F8? The basic approach that I've tried is to increase the size of the font one point at a time until it doesn't fit and then decrease it one point at a time until it does fit. The trick seems to be finding a reliable way to test whether or not the string fits. this test works sometimes, but not always: stringFits = textField._height = textField.textHeight textField._width = textField.textWidth; I wonder if the textFormat.getTextExtent() function might work better, but I'm quite fuzzy on its use. I would really appreciate any help with this problem that anybody would offer. I'm afraid I'm not a very sophisticated AS coder, as I spend the vast majority of my time coding in Director. Thanks!

Subject: [Flashcoders] Fire Event Manually
Anybody can helps me with this?
I have a collection of checkbox, with their own actionscript code in the
on(click) or on(change) region of code to manage events...
in one special case, i want to manually (through actionscript code in a
class) fire the click event on every checkbox control of my panel.
there is any way to make this? to fire click event like if a user
interacts
with the control and click on it?
I'm talking about Checkbox Control (not about HTML checkbox) ...
thank u in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] FlashMattic -My Hebrew Flash Blog
Danny, You switch keyboard layouts like you would with any other multi lingual setup on either mac or pc and you have the option to change the page direction to RTL. Numbers, English and panctuation behaves as expected theoritically, meaning that numbers for instance will be entered from left to right even when your page is right to left. This usually works... In my experience though it's always a bitch working with mixed inputs. You need an operating system which supports BIDI and ofcourse BIDI applications for heavy duty work. Windows and Mac OS support RTL out of the box, your problem is usually the applications. Yotam. On 16/01/06, matti bar zeev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've checked them and replied at my blog.
