[Flashcoders] re: preloading images from xml
Hi
Im having an issue with the following code. It is tracing the individual
thumbnail images correctly with the onLoadProgess function, but will only
display the percent loaded and loadbar for the last image (image 10), once
this one has preloaded, all the other images then appear correctly.
I would like it to preload all 10 images, displaying the percent and loadbar
for all 10.
The thumbnails images are buttons for a flv video player.
Ive been trying to fix this for ages and can sort it, its doing my head in!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3.0 - add separate objects to stage
Is this even possible, bitmap not being an interactiveObject and all?
In your first post you said:
Whenever I issue a command addChild(bitmap) the new image is being merged
with the existing one.
I guess the images are just stacked on top of eachother here where the last
bitmap loaded loads on top of the older one.
In your script below you add 2 bitmaps to a Sprite and want to use mouse
stuff on the bitmap, I guess that that won't work because they are not of
type interactiveObject I guess that creating a sprite, add the bitmap to
the sprite, add the listeners to the sprite, and add the sprite to the
displaylist of your class(sprite)should work.

James Tann
Are you sure about this? I have been using bitmaps extensively in the
project im working on and have had no issues like this. What is the
structure of children like?
Sprite -
- Bitmap
- Bitmap
I would have to see some code to help out.

Hi James,
This is not the pure example code from the project but this kind of
resembles the idea.

public class addChildIssue extends Sprite
{
public function addChildIssue()
{
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
onTimer);
timer.start();
var uploader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
url.url =
http://www.venturaes.com/macromedia/images/studio8_box.jpg;;
uploader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onResult);
uploader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
onFault);
uploader.load(url);
}
private function onResult(anEvent:Event):void
{
var bitmap:Bitmap =
Bitmap(anEvent.target.content);
bitmap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
onDrag);
bitmap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
onDrop);
addChild(bitmap);
}
private function onFault(anEvent:Event):void
{
}
private function onDrag(anEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
anEvent.target.startDrag();
}
private function onDrop(anEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
anEvent.target.stopDrag();
}
private function onTimer(anEvent:TimerEvent):void
{
var uploader:Loader = new Loader();

Copy and past it into Flex, should work. I even now face the problem of not
being able to move any image at all. This works fine with shapes, but
bitmaps fail.
Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Letting go of AS2 for AS3
The main class file is ... well the main class. You can define it like David
said. (file - publish settings - and so on). It's not a special kind of
class, it's just a normal one that has to extend MovieClip.
This main class , when you choose to use it, will be constructed first, it's
the entrypoint into the application. Just make sure it extends MovieClip or
else it won't work...

Hi
I didn't try yet to code in AS3 with Flash9. I choose to develop with
Flex2. I don't know now all about AS3 but:
With Flex, I build a kind of main class, like all other classes, but
without constructor. My app in MXML (only 4 lines of code) just define
what is the main class and whitch method of this class it does to call
first. After that, all is in AS3. My classes and also my main class are
coded in *.as files.
I've seen in Flash9 that with FilePublish settingsFlashActionsScript
version: ActionScript3.0Settings, you can define a single document
class. It seem's to be the main class whitch start playing the swf.
I tryed quickly to build an app with it, but it didn't start... sorry to
can't help you more...
I hope I bring a few light in your mind...

Okay im in the middle of reading AS3 Cookbook, and Essential AS3. And i'm
having some trouble grasping the concept of the main class file {as in the
root package for the program you are constructing}, both books talk about
this. But are they talking about constructing applications using
MTASC/mxmlc compilers or is there a way using the Flash 9 IDE to create a
main class file that the IDE needs to look for. I know u can write code on
the timeline, of course, but just wondering if there some other way which
they are elluding to, and me being slow am just not gettin'...

RE: [Flashcoders] flash color shift
If the PS document is defiantly RGB, check the embedded colour profile, probably set to adobe 1998, use the convert to profile command to change it to SRGB before you export to Flash, you may notice some slight changes after the conversion, if so re-colour as necessary, save out again with the new profile and import into flash, should be fine.

[Flashcoders] browser will not quit!!
I am trying to get a browser window to quit upon completion of a Flash
based Assessment.
It is running on a touch screen till using the html file generated when
the fla file is published. Everything works fine until the assessment
is required to quit - but the current coding i am using will not do this.
please have you any ideas or work rounds that i may use or try?
current code is
on (release, releaseOutside ) {
this.gotoAndStop ('buttonUp');

fscommand(quit);
}

function myFlashMovie_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
if (command == closeBrowserWindow) {
window.close();

but it still will not quit the browser!! - is there some kind of

You can make additional frames and put frame labels on them to your heart's desire. As long as those three frames are there and there's a button method assigned to the movieclip, it will behave like a button. You can use .enabled = false to make it stop, just like a button. So, to make a selected button (that isn't a toggle button), make a fourth frame sel (or something like that) and onRelease set its enabled to false and tell it to go to frame sel. To unstick it, just set its enabled to true and it will start working again.

Anyone can use the solution and font any way they like, so feel free to do whatever you want with the font Karina. The Mac and PC font should be in the archive. A font tool can uncork the TrueType files so you can edit them, I pretty much maxed out the available letters in this set so you may need to start a new font for additional smilies/graphics. Eric, copying the smilie and pasting it elsewhere *should* result in seeing garbled text. Sucks I know, there are holes with all solutions (as you've seen with the floating images). As a side note, I didn't make a specific sample in the downloading smilie zip file but it should be obvious that the smilies can be hyperlinked to load web pages or trigger events.

You can see the breakdown here as well as test it out: http://www.karbonized.com/smilies/ ... download the sample here (it's old, you may need to play with it a little to suit your needs). http://www.karbonized.com/smilies/Archive.zip On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:24 PM, Karina Steffens wrote: Hi List, I have a working FlashComm chat programme, dedicated to online counselling.

Re: [Flashcoders] emoticons in a chat component
Oh BTW, this font smilie solution is immune to Flash versioning (5,6,7,8,8.5), it should work in any other app that can display fonts. Also, the sample swf in the link is a little buggy but the Archive.zip contains the latest source. On Nov 20, 2005, at 1:46 PM, Simon Lord wrote: I have a font based solution that is easy to use.

[Flashcoders] Flash 8.5 on OSX
Just updated to OSX 10.4.3 and nothing published to Flash 8.5 appears in the browser (yes, I installed the 8.5 plugin). Can't revert the OS install and so can't determine if it's the upgrade that prevents the plugin from displaying 8.5 content. Everything published for 8 works fine, although some swf's like the Planetarium on neave.com brings Safari down like a rock. But once I reverted back to 8.0 the Planetarium worked fine. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hey Jens,
C# code:
string saveToFolder = savedFiles
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
HttpFileCollection uploadedFiles = Request.Files;
string Path = Server.MapPath(saveToFolder);
for(int i = 0 ; i uploadedFiles.Count ; i++)
{
HttpPostedFile F = uploadedFiles[i];
if(uploadedFiles[i] != null F.ContentLength 0)
{
string newName =
F.FileName.Substring(F.FileName.LastIndexOf(\\) + 1);
F.SaveAs(Path + / + newName);
}
}
}
Cheers,

Yeah dude, does your existing c# website have upload already built in or
do you need a page from scratch?
Campbell
I need to use the Flash 8 upload functionality with a c# ASP.NET
serverside
script - I know how to do it with php, but c# seems complex. Does anybody
have scripts or experience with that?
Please contact me offlist:
