ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Kind Of Global TextFormat?
Jul 18, 2003
as u probably know TextFormat has no global style like FStyleFormat so i thought i could make one?
1. idea) i could wrap createTextField() in some fns which then assigns automaticly some TextField-propertys and sets setTextFormat.
THE PROBLEM with that is that not all of my TextFields are generated via script, some r created by authoring-time.
2. idea) is to change the prototype."someproperty" of the TextField,THE PROBLEM TextField is not created via standard "new" constructor
so something like TextField.prototype.embedFonts=true; DOES NOT WORK as well.
3. idea) i could simply traverse all instances on stage and ask if the instanz is TextFeld and then assgin some fns which makes the formating.THE PROBLEM i dont know how to do that?
couse if i ask
trace(typeof t_txt.__proto__);
it just givs "object" not TextField or so
---------------------------------------------
does anybody knows how to make kind of global TextFormat for createTextField()-generated as well as for authoring-time generated TextFields?

I'm trying to make a game that's a top down shooter kind of like Asteroids, but there are no asteroids, just enemy ships. Anyway, I'm trying to make a radar for it. The area for the ships to shoot eachother in is 2400 pixels length and height. The stage is 650 x 500 pixels. The radar works fine for when I'm traveling up and down, but the enemy ships on the radar move in the opposite direction as the enemy ships on the screen when I move left to right. When I move left the enemy ships on the radar also go right, instead of left.[code]this code is called from a move objects function which is an ENTER_FRAME event if that helps any.

i have many buttons(they are actually movieclips) and for each i made separate listener function.. is it posible to optimize that code and make some kind of switch case inside the function. I don't know how to find out who called the function... is there way to find out. I don't want pass the additional argument with events because it wouldn't be optimization at all.I put only two buttons to reduce code:
Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, idi);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, idi2);

I'm making this thread because I have searched in google for how to make a "global library". I'm sure this is not what it's called but i couldnt think of another way to search. If I start a new project and I want to bring in objects from other projects should I be going to "open external library"? I imagine that an external library is global. While i'm waiting for replies i'll look up how to make an external library.

When adding textFields dynamically, as well as theTextFormat, it seems that the textFormat needs to be applied everytime the text is changed. So if I have:
TxtFld.text = 'This is some text';
txtFld.setTextFormat(txtFormat);
That works. But, if i add the line:

I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill.

I tried to search for this but the search wasn't working. I have a loder class where i load in some xml. This is the function that's called after the xml is loaded[code]...
The xml traces out fine. My question is how do I define var xml so that I can access it from outside of the class in another class or from the timeline?

I have some filters set up, and have assigned some global vars to them, which I then use in my Filters code to display the filters: myText:Filters [globals.data.glow1, globals.data.stroke1, globals.data.shad1] Works perfectly. Now I want to assign a global var to each global filter var to determine if it should be shown or not. So...

The first problem is with the following functions; when I call the function in (enterFrame), it doesn't work:
onClipEvent (load) {
function failwhale(levelNum) {
_root.gotoAndStop("fail");
failFrom = levelNum;
[code]...
Why doesn't it work?...The second problem lies in the failFrom variable:
function failwhale(levelNum) {
_root.gotoAndStop("fail");
failFrom = levelNum;
}
How do I make failFrom a "global" variable in that it can be accessed anywhere (from actionscript in frames and even movieclips)...Right now, when I try to trace failFrom in a different frame, it is "undefined".

i cannot get exactly how to make "global function" for call them so. I want to make a function in my MainMovie.as class that can be call from MyButton.as class. Or declare a function in any class and use it from any other class.
I've found the making the functions "static" does the work, but those cannot be apply to the "this." (intances). like:

Alright I'm new to Keyboard event listeners so I might be making a really obvious mistake that I don't know about. But what I want to do is, when someone types the letters for the word 'BROTHER', then it appears on the screen and it moves to the next frame. Here's the code I have atm I currently have the letters for 'BROTHER' each as a movie clip. The instance names are, RKey, OKey, etc.
[code]...
Now, is this the only mistake in my thing? Or are there more mistakes? How do I fix it?

playing the fms demo video does not download it into a temporary file like youtube does, so I could click on the timeline at the previous part or at the part show that it is already downloaded, and it will play it right away. Instead of that it plays a real time straming.

I'm creating a site in php which pulls in the header seperately with an include ( <? include("header.php") ?> ). The header uses flash but I've also created a dhtml version the emulates some of the flash features for those without flash....
What I'm looking for is a flash 6 detection script that will
1. test to see if the user has flash
2. if he has flash it will excute the flash movie
3. if he doesn't have flash, it will execute the dhtml code
I need all of this to work on one page (header.php)
I've seen scripts that will display a flash image if you have flash and a jpeg or gif if you don't...
but I haven't seen any that will execute html code (without transfering you to another page) instead of simply displaying a static image..

I'm developing flash applications in actionscript with a simple text editor rather than the gui flash fx mx whatever-they're-called and it's working out quite well. But there is one particular feature that I don't know about how to use without such a flash-creating-application.
Is it possible to maintain some kind of a library of movieclips? (drawn with the graphics class) In such a way that you can create an instance of it without having to draw it all over again, just copy it?
right now I'm using something like this:
PHP Code:
function drawACar():MovieClip { var car:MovieClip; /* draw it */ return car;}var shortCar:MovieClip = drawACar();var longCar:MovieClip = drawACar();longCar.width *= 2;
how i could create hundreds of such cars without having to draw them hundreds of times? I thought about copying them but that doesn't seem to be possible.
