ActionScript 2.0 :: Focus (onKillFocus) VERSUS Combobox Rectborder
Feb 23, 2006
I've almost finished a website I've been doing, but I still have 2 issues/bugs. - The first is the one that made me start this thread. I've isolated the problem and uploaded the .fla file (MX2004 - 7.2), with a simplified example. You can download it at [URL] (don't worry, this link has nothing to do with the website, LoL)
Description: The combobox instance in the preloader frame is there to avoid the rectborder problem. If you leave things that way, on Form1 you'll notice that you can't kill focus by clicking outside the input text boxes, because it immediately sets focus back (you can only change focus from one input box to another). Let's call this issue bug A.
If you delete the combobox instance located in the first frame (preloader), you will not have the kill focus issue anymore (after setting focus on one of the text boxes, you can now click outside and it will kill focus and stay that way). However, if you go towards the second form (the one with the combobox), you'll now notice a bug that was previously non-existent: the combobox border (I've set its colour to red to highlight the problem better) will remain there after you've selected one of the combobox's available options. Let's call it bug B. I know that second bug is known, and that was why I used that solution with the instance placement on the preloader frame.
im using as3 and components. here i make a combobox.editable=true; i type something inside.. then click outside, the combobox doesn't loose focus. i tried to write stage.focus=null;. but i got d following error
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at fl.controls::ComboBox/close() at fl.controls::ComboBox/fl.controls:ComboBox::onStageClick()
I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
but to me it seems that there must be a way to combine all this lines of code into one single function or at least two one for the setFocus and one for the killFocus.
I have quite a weird problem..I have an input text field and AS written for it to change it's content with "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions.
The problem is that when I add a "MediaDisplay" component to the scene input text's "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions won't work and as well as some other problems apear..I've seen that for these 2 functions I have to export with flashplayer 8 and so it is.
when i have this line active(the red one) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
I'm working on a Mac. Now I made a site and when I compare colors on pc I get a huge difference:s. My green grey looks like it's black. How do you manage to get the colors wright on both platforms? The calibration of my screen is perfect for print.
A Video-loop at 25fps imported to flash, embedded, plays fine if the project fps also is 25fps.But i also want to add a 3D Carousel menu, but at the projects 25 fps it goes a little bit choppy when rotating quick.So I try to change the projects fps to 50, and voila, the menu looks good but the video plays to fast.The video should alternate between clips randomly, and the clips has to be preloaded, thus its embedded in the swf (...or could this be done with flvs?)5-10 clips.
I'm working on a new portfolio, full flash website for myself and so far I've been working on my Macbook Pro almost entirely. The website is somewhat heavy in graphics/animation however nothing too big, all pages are around 500kb or less. Running the website on my MAC in any browser it looks perfect, the animation runs smooth, everything goes great. However, when I try to run the same website on my PC which is pretty good, the whole website feels a little bit choppy and laggy and I'm not sure why. It feels like it chokes for 1/4th of a second every like 2-3 seconds, lower FPS basically.
I have an application that I support but did not create. I need to test it on FMSS 3.0 but the developer version has both Streaming and Interactive Server enabled. Is there any way to disable the Interactive Server in the Developer Edition so I can confirm the application works on Streaming Server without influence from Interactive Server? The application works on the development server but when I move it to the production Streaming Server, it does not respond the same.
I am planning to start a new project in as3 and I want Dependency Injection in the project. I found that parsley and Robotlegs are two popular frameworks for implementing DI in AS3. Which is the best one among these two?
My main requirements are
lightweight minimal learning extensive documentation and active helping community
when i'm coding directly on the timeline, i usually create a var like this:
Code: var home:MovieClip = this;
so i always have something to reference the main timeline's scope. how could i do this in a class? delegate.create gets a little confusing.
i tried a few things like the following:
Code: class com.myClass { public var className:String = "myClass"; public static var version:String = "0.0.1";
[code]...
of course this is redundant because it'll scope just fine as parseNews();, but i'm just wondering why it's letting me scope it like this here and not in the onLoad declaration?
I'm animating various squares that needs to move "smoothly" on the screen.I've tried with the basic Tween and with TweenLite at 30 and 60 fps and the animation still choppy while at 90 fps looks better.
I have an AS2 .swf file called �sample.swf� This �sample.swf� contains a proportionally resizable background image. An external .swf file �content.swf� loads on top of it. The size of �content.swf� is 900x600 px and it is positioned to the absolute center (x and y) of the stage at all times.
So basically you open the page in a browser and resize it, the background image resizes as well and keeps its proportions and the content always stays in the absolute center regardless of the size of the browser. Here�s my problem, when I resize my browser to smaller than the content size (900x600), the content gets cut off. So what I want is to activate the scrollbars whenever the browser size goes under 900x600 in either directions (x,y) You tell me if it�s possible. I am open to other solutions as well.
So I'm working on a as3 site that allows for users to signup/login, and I'm torn between using cookies vs SharedObjects to remember login info, I've been googling about it and I find a lot of people are super paranoid about LSOs, so maybe I should just go the regular cookie route?
I'm trying to load YouTube playlist feed data and I'm having some trouble with the ATOM version, which is the YT default. I'm having no problems with the RSS version, but the RSS takes a few minutes longer to update when making changes to a playlist. I can load both and toXMLString(); both feeds but I'm getting an error when I try and parse the ATOM feed.So if the ATOM feed looks like this:
HTML Code: <feed ... > <entry>...</entry> </feed>
Shouldn't I be able to get the following trace to work after the completed load where playlistXML is my new XML for the feed:
Code: trace(playlistXML.entry[0].title);
I'm getting a "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties." when I try and output that title data.And the RSS is like this:
I have been using the flashvars from swfobject for a long time to pass info into my swf for specific outcomes. I am just starting to publish everything using flash player 10 and wasnt able to get my variable to be seen by the swf. maybe i was doing something incorrectly with this new file? but i then took code from my older files and they didnt work either... then i published down to flashplayer 9 and it worked perfectly... ???
i am using swfobject 2.2 and my code for passing the flashvar is
So I wrote a CS4 Illustrator plugin that loads a SWF as its user interface. Works great on the mac, but I am having a problem on Windows:The .swf needs to be compiled with the "-use-network=false" option set in order to access some files on the local machine. HOWEVER when that option is set, all of my "Externalinterface" calls break down. When "-use-network=false" is not set, then I can't access the local files, BUT my "externalinterface" calls (which communicate with the plug-in) work just fine. The SUPER frustrating part is that
A) it works fine on the mac, and
B) on window, I don't even need to set the "-use-network=false" option for the swf to access the files IF the .swf is loaded in explorer.I'm not sure if using AIR is possible, but I'm trying that next since AIR can access both local and network files without all the sand box hokey-pokey.Also CS5 is not an option for me for this project.
i am at the last part of my project. it worked all well and reads all text fields from a text file as seen on :[URL]now i am trying to get the same thing working from MYSQL.Notice that the text file i used for index2.html is called [URL]and it was a direct copy/paste from the php page that gave the results from the MYSQL query. [URL] The problem is i am getting an error in [URL] which uses the php to get the text for the dynamic fields.
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null. at flash.text::TextField/set text() at final_fla::MainTimeline/onDataLoad() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
my flash movie has 113 buttons called button_1 --> button_113 and 113 dynamic text fields tcname_1-->tcname_113 my AC3 code is the following:
// button links: to all buttons to open in iframe 'tdes' // link corrosponds to button number // i have 113 buttons.
