Re: [Flashcoders] digest

Uh-huh. I've set my my preferences to 'digest' twice in the past two 
days, and I'm still getting individual messages.


Still some bugs in the system, I see.

Apparently some user preferences were jostled/reset by the move.
Where can I change my subscription mode to digest?

[Flashcoders] Where do job postings go?

2006-09-14 Thread swfer
I know this isn't the forum for it, but does anybody know where I 
could post a Help Wanted ad? My company is having a tough time 
finding a software developer who's strong in ActionScript, XML, SQL, 
OOP, and Design Patterns.


Anybody know where such people hang out, and where a job posting 
would be welcome?


Thanks much. We now return to our regularly scheduled discussion list.

[Flashcoders] External SWF in a popUp

2005-11-07 Thread swfer
I'm working on a large application that shows a strange problem. 
What's supposed to happen when the user makes a certain selection 
from the ContextMenu, is that a popup window opens, containing a 
dialog. The dialog is in a separate SWF, and the application uses 
PopUpManager.createPopUp to open the Window.


The code that creates the popUp waits for its "complete" event, and 
then calls the popUp's initialize() method. All that works fine. The 
initialize() method is supposed to size() its parent Window, and 
move() it to center of the Stage. The problem is that, at that point, 
the dialog's _parent is undefined. In fact, almost all of its 
standard variables are undefined, and enumerating the contents of 
_root show that it's empty.


More over, the dialog is not really a child of the Window, as it's 
not clipped to it. The dialog extends beyond the boundaries of the 
Window, although dragging the Window moves that dialog as well. This 
can't be right.


I have a tiny test application that creates a ContextMenu with one 
item in it. Selecting the item makes the same call to 
PopUpManager.createPopUp as the main app. In this situation, all 
works just fine. No changes to the external SWF. The dialog is 
clipped to the Window, and sees it as its _parent.


There's much too much code in the main app for me to post anything 
meaningful. I was just wondering if anybody had seen any situation 
like this, where an external SWF is loaded but not really 
incorporated into the timeline, where it doesn't have a parent, and 
can't see anything in the _root.


Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
