[flexcoders] Re: Smooth scrolling when setting verticalScrollPosition on TextArea
That's funny, I JUST did that same thing last week on Wednesday. AnimateProperty is the right choice. Mine looks smooth during the movement, is yours doing something weird or choppy? You could also look at using an easing function and see what that does for you. - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mark Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In AS3, I set the vertical scroll position of the text area, but would like the area to smoothly scroll to that area rather than jump to it (disorientating the user).

[flexcoders] Re: WSDL SOAP
basicasm-
You have your calls in the base of the class, you need to move it into
a method. You should also put your add event listener into an
onInit() type of call. Here's a quick example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=onInit()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import net.webservicex.GetWeatherResultEvent;
import net.webservicex.GlobalWeather;
private var weather : GlobalWeather = new GlobalWeather;
private function onInit():void {
weather.addgetWeatherEventListener(handleWeather);
weather.addGlobalWeatherFaultEventListener(onFault);
}
private function onClick():void {
weather.getWeather(Spokane,United States);
}
private function handleWeather(e:GetWeatherResultEvent):void {
trace(e.result.toString());
}
private function onFault(e:FaultEvent):void {
trace(Fault: + e.message);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button click=onClick() label=Click Me /
/mx:Application

[flexcoders] Re: Flex and Flash 9 movies in Firefox
I'm pretty sure you can't do anything about that. I've found that setting focus to the SWF only works in IE; e.g. - where you do a javascript .setFocus() to the swf object and the text box in the Flex app already has focus. It's just a difference between IE/FF unfortunately... It's a little 'hacky' in my opinion, but if you absolutely need keyboard events from a non-focused swf, check out Gary Bishop's blog about a creative way of doing this by capturing keyboard events with Javascript. I've had to do it for a number of things I've worked on and it works for me, but only on those browsers with Javascript enabled... http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~gb/wp/blog/2007/06/08/fixing-firefox-flash-fooli\ shness/ http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/%7Egb/wp/blog/2007/06/08/fixing-firefox-flash-fo\ olishness/ - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For me, it happens in every browser.

I'm perplexed. I have a Flex 2 application that runs a little Flash 9 movie within it at one point. This SWF requires user interaction in the form of typing a letter into a textbox. Strange things occur in Firefox when, once you get to the frame with the textbox (focus is set to it so that the cursor is blinking), then alt-tab to another window and go back, you cannot interact with the textbox at all. The cursor has gone, and clicking on the control does nothing. Clicking on a button works, however. Anyone know how to fix this? Anyone even had this problem themselves? It ONLY happens in Firefox. Cheers, Michelle
[flexcoders] Re: Question regarding EventDispatcher
Bubbling is funny that way. If you don't need it to bubble, and can
reference the object that's dispatching the event directly, you might
be better off to set the listener on the object itself:
var test:TestComponent = new TestComponent();
test.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_GOOD, doGood);
test.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_BAD, doBad);
...

Here's the scenerio:
- In a component, I'm dispatching an event. Let's call it: MyEvent
- In the main application, there is an EventDispatcher that's
listening for the component event.
None of this is Cairnogorm for many reasons. (Although I have
nothing against that framework).
However, this is not working. Would someone be able to explain why
and how I can go about solving this? Thanks!

Sample code: (Assume all imports are there).

public class MyClass extends EventDispatcher {
//stuff
public function myFunction():void {
//more stuff... then...
this.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_GOOD, doGood);
this.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_BAD, doBad);
var test:TestComponent = new TestComponent();
}
public function doGood(e:MyEvent):void {
//do other stuff
}
public function doBad(e:MyEvent):void {
//do stuff
}
}
---
In component:
package com.mystuff.test {
public class TestComponent {
public function TestComponent() {
//do stuff here
var t:TestDispatcher = new TestDispatcher();
t.dispatchMyEvent();
}
}
}
package com.mystuff.test {
public class TestDispatcher extends EventDispatcher {
public function TestDispatcher() {
super();
}
public function dispatchMyEvent():void {
dispatchEvent( new MyEvent (MyEvent.RESULT) );
}
}

package com.mystuff.test.events {
public class MyEvent extends Events {
public static var EVENT_GOOD= goodStuff;
public static var EVENT_BAD = badStuff;

[flexcoders] Re: Weird URLloader problem
If you're just loading the SWF from the hard drive (double-clicking it), then you need to tell the Flash Player that you'll allow the flash file to run and access the net or external files. Go to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html And do Always Ask and go to the Edit Locations to add the new path (or put your root drive in - not recommended, but do what you gotta). That website will store the security settings into your local player. If you plan on distributing the SWF on a CD/DVD or whatever, then click the link on the page for Global security settings for content creators - Kevin
[flexcoders] Re: SWF Cache
Hey Don- It's a quick and dirty trick to prevent caching, but if you're just writing a single Flex app (1 swf, no modules) then you can append some random GET data to the tail end of the swf extension. For instance, instead of doing: EMBED src=effect.swf quality=high ... you would do: EMBED src=effect.swf?v=1.1.05 quality=high ... If you're using the AC_OETags.js file, then you'll have to modify line 180 in Flex 2 or 187 in Flex 3 to include your versions (think of escaping Date() or something like that). That *should* ensure a clean version coming down. Keep in mind that even a 300k Flex app can take a good amount of time to d/l for dial-up users, so caching isn't necessarily a bad thing. Otherwise, just make sure your meta tags are in the HEAD section of your HTML. - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Don Kerr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BTW, I've tried all the html tricks and none work in IE or Firefox...
