I'm using a pretty standard sortCompareFunction in my DataGrid:
ActionScript Code:
protected function compare(valA:*, valB:*):int {
if(valA < valB) {
[Code]......
The trouble of course is that the compare function isn't passed any info about the column being sorted, and apparently the datagrid's click handler fires AFTER the sort is applied so that's no good either.
I want to call the sortCompareFunction for a particular row when the grids first loads. Is this possible? Otherwise is there a way to call a sort method on grid load after it has been asssigned the dataprovdier has been updatad

View 5 RepliesI am currently working on a flash presentation and I have this code to play the slides:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.playhead = function(dir) {

What happens is that when I press the leftBtn or rightBtn it plays the whole presentation, ignoring the stops I put in the MC. My mc has slides every 5 frames with tweens between them.
How can I make this and have my MC stop in every slide instead of just reading all at once?
I have the following divs and I'm trying to make the iframe layer infront of my_flash. It's a common problem and I've read through all the solutions I could find and still I'm getting issues in IE8. I'm using SWFobject by the way.

i'm trying to add whitespaces in front of my text, but flex removes all but one whitespace from the text. So i can't format the text.
Here is the specified line:
<s:p> - Lorem</s:p>
<s:p> ipsulum</s:p>
Here its shown correctly but when running the swf it reduces the whitespaces of the second line. Of course i tried to use CDATA but this didn't work too.
Is there anyway I can do a hittest that ignores transparent pixels? If so how would I do it.
View 2 Repliesa few days ago i have started running across various errors and glitches in the app i am developing, and after a lot of time found out the following fact:
just as the title reads, flash started ignoring changes i make to classes i use, as if it has an internal cache of imported classes and refuses to check for changes. it notices when i remove class from directory, it notices when i comment out a whole function, BUT if i comment out the contents of all of the functions, leaving just their declarations, flash executes them "perfectly" well. where does it takes their contents from? how to delete the cache?
while trying to save a class at a certain point when i was dealing with this, i got a "sharing violation" error, that told me i cant save it.
With a looming deadline for a big project, I've just wasted an entire evening trying to find out why my application won't properly load image content when the .swf is deployed to a web server.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
- load a jpeg image from a different domain than where my .swf's are hosted
- turn it into a Bitmap object to apply smoothing
Loading the jpeg itself is no problem, as long as I do this:
[AS]addChild(loader);[/AS]
As soon as I try to access loader.content, or loader.contentInfo.content to create a Bitmap, Flash simply aborts the script.So there you have it: a typical security sandbox violation (although no error is ever thrown). Solution: crossdomain.xml! Or that's what I thought.Now the image host has a crossdomain.xml in it's root, with *.rocketclowns.com as an entry. I'm testing my app from www.rocketclowns.com.Even if I try to force load the policy file:
[AS]Security.loadPolicyFile()[/AS]
Or, with LoaderContext:
[AS]// create a loader context that
// checks for policy files
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
// use the context with your call to load
myLoader.load(request, context);[/AS]
...I still can't access my loader.content.

I have a simple C# program that, when a user clicks on a button, opens a new frame with an activex flash object embedded in it. The code I use to open it is the following :
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form f = new Form();
[code]...
The test program has been run by several user, without any problem, except for one, that sees this:
I don't think that the problem is in the application itself, but in the flash player. So, the question is, what am I missing? Are there flash settings that force the window to have the default size?
I have a TextField that uses a stylesheet and gets its text as htmlText. That text is read from an *.xml file with the neccessary CDATA tag. The htmlText is read correctly (I have a debug output to check that), and when displaying the .text attribute, it shows line breaks as expected. multiline, wordwrap and condenseWhite are enabled. No AutoSizing is done, instead I set width and height of the field manually.
But the text it actually shows on the screen is all shown in one line, with multiple lines being drawn in the same line. It also seems to interpret the html correctly, as the words with '<b></b>' around them are bold. Only the line breaks are not working. The height can't be the problem as I set it manually to a value high enough, and debug output shows that it really has that height.
This only happens when viewing the *.swf online and only with empty cache. When I press F5 in the window, the TextField works as intended. So it works offline and when it has already been loaded.
But the creation, scaling of the TextField and filling the TextField with text is all done in the same function, without any breaks so I really don't know how the cache could possibly affect this.

I have a symbol in the Library with a Base Class that extends the MovieClip Class and adds some additional functionality. I want to be able to export this from the Library by right clicking on the symbol and selecting Export SWF. I was hopping this would essentially give me the same results as if the symbol contents was on the main timeline and I had declared the Base Class as the Document Class. When I import this SWF using the Loader Class it seems to loose all of Base Class functionality and think of itself as a MovieClip.
Looking at the below sample code, the alpha property is correctly set but the param1 getter is unaccessible. What the hell is going on?

I have run into a strange and annoying problem since updating to Flash Professional CS5.5 on my work computer.Sometimes, seemingly randomly, Flash stops compiling things correctly. I Test Movie by hitting Cmd+Return and it just displays what's on the stage, frame 1. The document class is never initialized, no errors at all, no trace statements print out; it acts as if there is no code at all. After this happens once, it will continue to do this until I restart Flash, which fixes the problem. However, restarting Flash every 10 - 15 minutes is very annoying.It seems to happen regardless of what project I'm working on or what state the project is in (i.e. if the code contains errors or not). All of our projects use external AS3 classes (no code on the timeline).
View 2 RepliesI am having a lot of trouble while syncing my Flash Builder Actionscript project with Subversion. I have read that the output folders bin, bin-debug and html-template should not be checked in to the repository. The project bin folder contains a lot of XML files and assets that other project members needs to access. The problem is that Flash builder ignores it.
Is there a way of setting up Flash Builder to override the ignored bin folder? If not, what other approach should I consider? Different folder structures?
/src (commited)
/bin (ignored)
/swc (commited)
I would really like to override the default "DO NOT COMMIT YOUR DEPLOY FOLDER" setting. Bounty it is.
I am trying to print a string with html formatting. Part of the formatting includes font face. I have found that my print job will not print any string that includes a font face declaration. I'm guessing because the font isn't embedded, but I'm not positive.
This works:
string = "<b>bold</b> not bold";
Doesn't work:
string = "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">this is my string</font></p></textformat>";
How can I get around this. I need the ability to print any font on a users computer.
I defined an array construct and assigned two variables to part of the array so I can simple sort it:
number1 = array[i]
number2 = array[i+1]
if(number1 > number2){
...swap etc
Problem is, when I try the comparason if the one of the numbers has a higher digit value, it ignores the statement entirely. Eg If 16 > 8 it skips it. So I tried adding '16' and '08' into the array and that worked perfectly with the statement.
I'm building a flash app that will go full screen. I need to ensure it's usable at a variety of resolutions.I can overlay them fine, but the problem is I now can't interact with the app, because when I click on some part of the UI, it thinks I'm clicking on the image, since it's technically in front. I want the image to be in the front at a visual level, but without it having any bearing on the keyboard/mouse interaction with the app.My fall back is to create a series of 1pixel wide lines, which will still be in the foreground mouse/keyboard wise, but I can cope with losing that much interaction ability.
