Re: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Timers behaving erratically
i've had this happen many times and even posted to the list about iti use
the debugger that comes with the flash ide alot and only then can i see what's
happening...if you look at the instances using the debugger you can see that
the instances haven't cleared their values. what i've done in the past is make
sure that i call removeMovieClip as well as call delete, and pray! :)
hope this helps

classes. The second time this class is instantiated, the
timers don't fire. Any reason why this is happening?
Actually, nowhere in the application they aren't firing.
Here's the code that disables the application:
public static function disable(message:String):void {
with (_instance) {
var snapshot:Bitmap = takeSnapshot();
destroyForm();
_container.addChildAt(snapshot, 0);
_container.addChildAt(drawCurtains(), 1);
_container.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);
showAlert(message);
_container.stage.invalidate();
_enabled = false;
}
}
private function destroyForm():void {
_container.removeChild(_container.getChildByName(form));
_form = null;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] hooking up GUI in pure OO code...
Hi Jason,
in a situation like this i first determine if Button is a dynamic class...if it
is i designate a variable and assign it the parent class to it like this
myButton.parentObj = this;
this way i can call any function that's a memeber of the parent class like so...
myButton.onRelease = function() {
this.parentObj.doSomething();
}
if it's not a dynamic class then you can either hack it to be or design another
call back mechanizm
hope this helps

Subject: [Flashcoders] hooking up GUI in pure OO code...
OK this is making me nuts. It seems to be an impossible scope problem,
to do something that ought to be very very possible, and in fact
common. The basic problem: I want to have initialization code in a
Main class that hooks up GUI controls to methods in this class (acting
as a controller class essentially). For various reasons, I do not want
to use components; the GUI elements are either Buttons or MovieClips.
Again, this ought to be possible, right?
So here's the problem case:
class Main {
var myButton:Button; // placed on stage in authoring time
function init() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
doSomething();
}
}
function doSomething() {
trace(something);
}
}
This does not work, nor is there any way I can wrap my head around
getting it to work, as the anonymous function assigned to the button
event handler has this scoped as the button itself, so
doSomething() refers to a non-existent function
myButton.doSomething(). Simply assigning the member function to the
button event handler directly doesn't help, as this function is then
unable to call other member functions for the same reason. E.g.:
function init() {
myButton.onRelease = doSomething();
}
function doSomething() {
// this will be called now, but this still refers to the button,
not objects of this class
}
There has *got* to be some way around this issue. Right?

Re: [Flashcoders] C++ flash host supporting transparency

On Windows I'm using the Flash activeX control to host my Flash app. I'd like to render the Flash viewport/window onto my application's surface with transparency such that only the content on the stage is drawn to my window. Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container like mine? How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support it)? Does Flash tell the host the key color being used for transparency? I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with non-rectangular transparency. But, I'm not sure how as a host container the Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me. Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates to the browser to assist with this process? What if that same color is used in the content of your movie/content within your SWF? Do the browsers render those pixels transparently as well? Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed some light for me. Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF host application that runs on Windows and Mac? I need to port my app (and am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32 would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right). Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps? Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts? What wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating containers on OSX? Thanks for ANY input :) I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens for starters... Where is the definitive internals book on the Flash runtime engine? Does one exist?

Subject: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayer and addASCuePoint
Hello everyone. After a long hiatus from this list, I decided to
resubscribe, becasue i am at my wit's end :(
Thankfully, chattyfig has some of the world's best AS coders so I'm
sure this is no problem for you people. Here goes:
I got a FLVplayer (flash 8 pro) instance and loaded an flv that has no
cuepoints encoded. I really don't want to encode cuepoints, but use AS
to create them.
The code below works fine: it moves the playback to 8secs into the film.
BUT! -- here is the problem! -- the trace action I have set for that
cuepoint JUST WONT EXECUTE.
The only way I can make it show is to seek to about 3 secs before my
cuepoint, but obviously that also plays the film 3 secs earlier.
I tired using seekToNavCuePoint() but that doesn't do anything, not
even moves playback header.
What else could I try? Again ,the video jumps as expected, but the
action isnt happening.
// load file
Vid1.contentPath = film.flv;
// cue point listening
var listnerObject:Object = new Object();
listnerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
cuepointers(eventObject); // calling function below
}
Vid1.addEventListener(cuePoint, listnerObject);
// make cuepoints
Vid1.addASCuePoint(1,cuePt1);
Vid1.addASCuePoint(8,cuePt8);
// button to seek to a specific cuepoint
btn1.onPress = function(){
Vid1.seek(Vid1.findCuePoint(cuePt8)[time]);
}
// my function to do something when the cuepoint is hit
function cuepointers(eventObject){
switch(eventObject.info.name){
case cuePt1 :
trace(cue1);
break;
case cuePt8 :
trace(cue8); // here! this action just wont happen :(
break;
default : break;
}//end switch
}
