with my car, i am trying to make it so it can pass right through a MC, but just slow down. I type speed -= 5; but the car just bounces on the bound box of the other MC. How can i get it to not hit the bound box and only the actual object, AND make it pass through the object.

View 1 Repliesi just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).

I have a window in which I want to add/remove component and resize the window accordingly based on states. but for some reason it's ignoring the first resize.here's a sample code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[code]....
when the state change to 'two', I want to add rect2 to display and increase the minWidth and size of the window. And when the state change to 'one', i want to remove rect2 from display and resize the window. This seems to work except the window doesn't shrink on the very first time the state change from "two" to "one" but works as expected afterwards. I'm not sure why it's ignoring first time I reduce the width. I also tried changing nativeWindow.bounds directly but that didn't work either.
Originally I just tried setting minWidth based on state (minWidth.one="450 minWidth.two="791") but that caused window to grow on left and shrink on right which caused the window to move left whenever the state changed. so then I just moved the window to right whenever state changed but that caused some flicker that I didn't want.

I'm trying to develop a website in flash where the main content will be delivered as "pages" in a spiral bound notebook. In simplist terms, i want to have the image of a spiral bound notebook with "tabs" on the side that will "flip" to the selected page. When it flips, the page on top will "flip around" just like if you were holding a spiral bound notebook. that will reveal the requested "page" where each "page" contains a text box that gets its content from an external html file.
the part that i really need help with on is the page flipping. i have searched everywhere, but can only find "catalog" style flipping - which i dont want. i want only 1 page to be shown at a time with the "rest" laying underneath.
I am working on a product options form whose contents should be cleared by a clearOptions() method each time the user adds an option. The option name TextInput is bound to a value object that is reinstantiated each time the the user adds a product option.

I've got a class like this:
class Foo extends UIComponent {
var someDispatcher:*;

And I want to listen for events fired by someDispatcher... But, of course, someDispatcher may not be bound until "later":

What's the best way to listen for events from someDispatcher?I know I could bind to someDispatcher, then wire up the event handlers when it's updated... Or I could use getters/setters...
I have an mx:TileList which is bound to an ArrayCollection.I have some code that displays a "Loading..." message before modifying the ArracyCollection and some code after that hides the loading message.For small data sets, it works fine. However, I noticed with an array size of about 50~ and larger, flex will hide my loading message before the TileList is finished rendering the new data and I'm left with a blank screen for an odd second.Is there an event I can listen to that is called after the TileList is finished re-rendering? Code looks something like this:
loading_message.visible = true;
for each (var x:Object in new_data) {
tile_list_data.append(x); // bound to my_tile_list component[code]..........
In this example, loading_message appear, disappear, and then the flex app will lag before finally revealing the updated TileList.
On creation complete my parent component executes an "init" function which simply sets public bindable variables in child components.

Add 3 photos different.
Remove 2nd photo.
Add a different photo.
SWF adds the 2nd photo to the end.

I have a DataGrid bound to an XMLConnector and XMLDataSet. The XML data loads fine into the components. However, I cannot get the value of the selected index using: my_datagrid.selectedIndex
The call works fine if you use addItem to populate the grid.
Is there an issue being that the datagrid.selectedIndex parameter is bound to the XML components?
I have an ArrayCollection bound to an editable DataGrid, another component needs to know when the ArrayCollection changes (as a result of changes in the DataGrid) so it can also update itself, so is listening to the COLLECTION_CHANGE event of the ArrayCollection.
The problem is that the DataGrid only updates the ArrayCollection when the row being edited losses focus. This is not good for my app as a user could edit a column on a row and not click elsewhere on the table for a long time (causing the row to lose fucus), therefore the changes won't have propagated to the other parts of the application.
How can I make the data grid inform the ArrayCollection of a change every time there is a keyup event on a text input instead of every time a row looses focus?
There are two Sprite's hit tests, one check the object (and have no precision on the curves) and the other check a specified (x, y) point. But, having curves drawn using Graphics.curveTo(), how do I check if 2 drawn curves are colliding?I'm not sure if this is an actionscript or a math problem..I want to check all (x,y) of a curve to all (x,y) of the other curve..
View 1 RepliesHow can I cause numbers with no value to show up blank instead of NaN on forms?Let's say I have a User class with an optional weight (kgs) value, of type Number. If I edit a User in Flex I get the user object from the server and bind weightInput.text to user.weight. If weight is null on the server it will be translated to NaN in Flex, and then the value of weight in the edit form showes up as NaN. That is really inconvenient, as I would like it to just be blank if it has no value.

I'd really like to be able to make Flash's array access syntax 'wrap' over the array's bounds.
Lengthy explanation -
var array:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f'];
To keep things simple, the first index is 0, and its value is the first letter, 'a'. To get that value, we'd do this -
array[0]; // returns 'a'
As long as the index you're using to access the array is between 0 and array.length (6 in our example,) everything works fine - but if you use an index outside of those bounds, you're shut down.
array[-3];
array[9]; // both return 'undefined'
Sometimes that's a good thing - sometimes you expect that to happen, and you're fine with it. Other times, you find yourself wishing (or at least I find myself wishing) that it'd behave a bit more like this -
array[-3];
array[9]; // both return 'd'
(e.g. a photo gallery that jumps back to the beginning when you click 'next' on the last photo)There's a little chunk of code I use over and over for this sort of thing, but it's always to alter the index before passing it into the array:
var index = -3;
while(index < 0){index += array.length}
array[index % array.length]; // returns 'd'
... and that's fine, but what I really want to do is extend the Array object itself so that it'll automatically 'wrap' index values that go out of bounds.TL;DR - Is index-wrapping possible by extending Flash AS3's Array object?
I'm new to AS3, and can't figure out why this loop isn't behaving the way it "should."
[Code]...
How can I give each anonymous function a reference to each object represented by f, rather than a simple reference to f each time? Specifically, why is it that each copy of the anonymous function gets bound to a single reference to f? How (I should say why) exactly does AS3 differ from JavaScript in this regard?

I want the selectedIndex to remain the same. So, if I delete item 2, the next in the list should be selected. The problem is that if I delete item 2, item 3 will be selected and I have no idea why.
