I'm making a card game and each card has a certain symbol on it which is loaded from an external .png file. I don't want to make it so that it has to load the .png every time it make a card, so I made it load in the preloader/background. How do I make new objects that looks the same as the loader, like copying the loader's data or something?
View 1 RepliesI have two classes, call them A and B. They both contain a Loader object. In class A I load content into the Loader object.
public class A {
var loader:Loader;
public function A():void {
[Code].....
But that's not what I want. I don't want to manage a bunch of children when I know I only have one child but just want to change its content.
Is there a way to copy/assign a Loader directly? I tried assigning to 'content' but that's read-only. Basically I have an array of Loader objects that all get loaded with images. I then have a single Loader that's on the stage and I want to assign to it images (Loaders) from my array.
I'm having a project where I rely heavily on loading external images in AS2.These lines works fine and I have about a hundred of them:
_root.pic.contentPath = "GFX/Data11.png";
_root.pic.contentPath = "GFX/Data12.png";
etc.
I have another loader which works as a magniyer for the aforementioned one. Is it possible to let it load up the same image as "_root.pic.contentPath" without having to type in code manually for each picture?
I am trying to make a Loader variable with contentLoaderInfo as a new instance and for every object in the array like this:

so for some reason the previews object in the display list gets bumped out with the last object in the array.

View 3 RepliesWhen I use Bitmap.draw() to copy a displayObject do I lose the transparency? In one case I might be copying a .png file that had transparency and in another case I'm copying a composite image made up of multiple DisplayObjects. It seems as though the resulting images are bitmaps with no transparency.
Is it possible to duplicate .png files in memory, preserving the transparency and having unique objects for using in different places in the display?
When a user selects a record in a datagrid I launch a pop-up window with more detailed info. The user can make changes to the record in this window but they don't have to save them. For example, they can click the X to close the window.whenever a user makes changes I update the object directly.Is there a pattern for copying the object and then mapping the changes to it when a user confirms they want to save?
View 1 RepliesBackground: Sorry for the complex title, but can't think of a better way to describe this. So I have an image which is constantly moving and rotating (using matrix rotation around a specific point) on the stage. Problem: So I'm looking for a way that, when the user presses a button, a smaller image (exactly the same as the original one, only 3 times smaller) to position itself so that the smaller image's location is proportional to the the larger one's location. This means that the exact point of the larger image where it is rotating should be the corresponding part of the smaller image, thereby causing a kind of zoom out effect.
The truth is, I'm finding it even difficult to match just the x and y positions so they correspond, ignoring rotation, assuming the position is relative to the rotation point. Even this would be useful.
I want to clone an object of a class (whose source code I do not have) and copy all of the associated event handlers from the original object to the new cloned object. Does anyone know how I can do that? I know how to copy the properties from the original to the new, but can I iterate over all the event handlers and add them to the new object?
View 1 RepliesI've been working on some project and have been constantly frustrated at the pointer copying aspect of saving one multi value 'object' to another. I'm getting error: 1051: Return value must be undefined when I try to execute memcpy as: myArrayA = new memcpy(myArrayB); That is when it throws the error.

So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
View 5 RepliesI'm creating an effect in flash mx where lasers follow a guide path and reveal a word beneath. I was setting it up making it drop behind a square where the spark travelled and i used the setmask command to mask it, problem is, the setmask command only works with one instance at a time! Can i group multiple instances with actionscript? Or can i have it dump the squares on a mask layer with actionscript.I was also wondering if i could just make the script play on every frame without copying it to every frame? I tried the on enter frame deal but it didn't work.

I have a problem with connecting as3 with php. I get the data return from php is wrong.
This is my code

var urlRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
loaderphp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GetCharInfo);

This is something I noticed on the Adobe documentation pages.
When receiving a textfile from a URL, the function to set the text will either look like this:
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {

tf.text = txt;

I need a script that clears all the XML data from a loader (swf container).
How can I unload the XML cache so I can put new information to replace the old stuff?
I found out this will not work:
Code:
var Slice1:Sprite = new Sprite();
Slice1.addChild(evt.target.loader);
var Slice2:Sprite = new Sprite();
Slice2.addChild(evt.target.loader);
I found out the hard way what happens when you and the same object to multiple parents (it packs up, and moves out).So what is the work around for this, besides multiple loaders? LoaderMax? My evt.target.loader is an image. So maybe bitmap data?

View 7 RepliesI'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local installation that will use multiple shared objects for data storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this in the Actionscript Cookbook... request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the product (all written to same SO directory),or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data config perspective...

I am calling some data from php, which simply retrieves some data from MySQL. The tables retrieved are called dynamically and so I have a list of those tables sent to actionscript below and called by event.target.data.its and event.target.data.ces.

I have been working on a flex application with java, as i have used Life Cycle Data Service for communication, i wana know, is there any function of flex, where i can see the loading status in percentage, that how much record is being loaded.Problem is, if there is lengthy record, no body comes to know, whats happening with software, like in Comboboxes or Grids, users usually think it as a BUG in application, but ofcourse it is not.I need such graphical loader, which keeps on loading with proper status in percentage, until it receives all data from JAVA (SQL Server).
View 2 RepliesTrying to make a grid based question answer game and load variables from a text file using for loops into an array. I wanted to reduce redundant code and use for loops to populate my arrays. The issue I am having is with my arrays being lost/destroyed outside of the loader function.
I understand that if an array is declared inside the function, naturally the array would be destroyed upon exit of the function. However I am declaring the arrays outside of the function so the arrays should remain intact after I exit the function.
BTW - I'm not having an issue with the loading of the data. The data is loading correctly. The array is simply being destroyed after the data has loaded.
