ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS5 Custom SWC Without Inlining TLF TextLayout?
Jun 6, 2011
I have a set of custom UI elements that are used in a number of activities, and want these maintained separately but linked into the activity on compile.Basically an external library that can be linked to by all activities.My understanding is that a SWC is the correct way to implement this.I have created a bare-bones example of this duplication problem,download here.The following description is based on this example.The "shared.fla" has a library symbol with a linkage id (which is actulaly just a TLF Textfield).Compiled to SWF this is 52KB (all of which is flashx.textlayout.* TLF actionscript bytes) + 153KB textLayout_ *. swz.Compiled to SWC this is 397KB.The "activity_link_swc.fla" displays this shared library symbol on the stage, and links to the "shared.swc".This creates a 179KB swf file. This filesize is the same if the Runtime Shared Library Settings default linkage is either "RSL" or "Merged Into Code" - obviously the inclusion of my "shared.swc" automatically inlines the textLayout code.
If instead of linking to the SWC I just copy all of the SWC's library contents into the activity, of course this gives a SWF size the same as the "shared.fla" - 52KB + external textLayout.swz 127KB smaller (assuming the swz file will be cached locally, and that's the whole point of SWZ files).Is there any way to get this to work?Having a compile time shared library of assets, without incurring a penalty for touching the mess that is TLF?

My question is pretty simple: Do get and set functions have an increased chance of being inlined compared to standard functions? If so, is there anything that prevents me from using them for something other than their intended use? (Other than my code becoming less readable.)

I am trying to get my text progression to flow right to left but flip it so that instead of tiliting your head to the right to read it you would tilt your head to the left. I had originally transformed and flipped the text box which worked for english text. But there is an option to change the language to chinese and when you do, the chinese character display upsidedown. Do you know how to handle that?

Does anyone know if there is a way to find the height of the text within the TextLayout class?
I am making my TextLayout objects like so:
this._textFlow = new TextFlow();
this._paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
this._textFlow.addChild(this._paragraphElement);
[Code].....
All the public properties I'd expect to find the height are undefined such as this._textFlow.lineHeight.

I am having trouble embedding a font as bold using FB4. I am using TextLayout fields and TextLayoutFormat to do this and my code is as follows:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code] .....
The font just displays as normal and the 'fontWeight' property is ignored.

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

This is my first time working with a class attached to a movieclip that is nested inside a class attached to a movie clip.I've tested all the properties and methods of PTListItem.as and they work properly but when I try to call them on the list item through PTListTop.as it returns undefined.The end goal is to dynamically load a checklist via a txt file.

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

i am a bit embarassed to ask this, but i do this so much i have to ask. Occasionally, i need to pass/handle custom events on the fly. Rather than creating a whole custom event class, i will just do something like
Code:
myObject.dispatchEvent(new Event('thisCustomEvent'));
//and then handle it later

I couldn't work it out yet...
package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;
[Code]....
I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:
1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary
Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary

I have a Custom Component that has a couple of Canvas with some background colors assigned to them. Now i have hard coded the colors, i want to move them to an external css file. So i would like to have the css declaration like this :

My question is if i can define custom style names like dividerRightColor and if so, how can i use that value inside my MXML Component? I have seen examples of using them inside Pure AS components.

I have a custom Flex 4.5 component (to be used in a List) -
Game.mxml (represents a clickable playing table in a card game):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer [code].......
But I never see the "game clicked: " trace. Does anybody please know why? I'm probably missing something minor, because I can see the "Clicked: 8946" trace.

This is similar to the question asked here. I am dispatching custom event "ShopEvent" but i am getting error "Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent"Note: Error is thrown from the parent custom component (3rd code snippet), I have added more details thereThis is my custom event. See the first constant, I copy pasted the event name in custom components.

I created a custom MXML component, TurboContent, that extends the NavigatorContent class:
<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[Code].....
In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).

Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).

I'm just getting off the ground as an AS3 programmer and I'm having a lot of trouble getting Flash to recognize my packages. My intention is to keep a code library of all my AS3 source data and have Flash simply go fetch classes from there.
I have set Flash's source path to the following to accommodate my library:
C:Documents and Settings<username>My DocumentsMy DropboxCodeAS3src
However, when I attempt to include a class into a .fla, Flash gives me an error that it can't find the AS class files in the .fla's folder at compile time. So it seems to not be detecting the AS class files in the source path I have set.
Within src, the folders are structured as follows:
srcsivyrmap<AS classes here>
In my AS files themselves, I have written the package and class declarations as follows:
Code:
package sivyr.map {
// Includes
include "flash.display.Sprite"
[code]....
And when I write an include to grab one of these classes, I write it as:
Code:
include "sivyr.map.Grid"

In Actionscript 3, most events use the capture/target/bubble model, which is pretty popular nowadays:
When an event occurs, it moves through the three phases of the event flow: the capture phase, which flows from the top of the display list hierarchy to the node just before the target node; the target phase, which comprises the target node; and the bubbling phase, which flows from the node subsequent to the target node back up the display list hierarchy.
However, some events, such as the Sprite class's enterFrame event, do not capture OR bubble - you must subscribe directly to the target to detect the event. The documentation refers to these as "broadcast events." I assume this is for performance reasons, since these events will be triggered constantly for each sprite on stage and you don't want to have to deal with all that superfluous event propagation.
I want to dispatch my own broadcast events. I know you can prevent an event from bubbling (Event.bubbles = false), but can you get rid of capture as well?

Wonder if anyone has run into a situation in which Flash fails to recognize an embedded font with a title like "Gotham rounded" and a style of "italics?" I can't seem to embed the style because of the double name of the font.

Quite simply, is there a way to put a custom image in the installer of an AIR application, for example to the left.
I'm using .air-installers, which I need to preserve because of updating functionality. I create them with Flash Builder 4.5 + Flex 4.5.1 (AIR 2.6)

Wanting to know how to use a custom font in my flash app (written mainly using AS3). When I try to add a font into the library, it only lets me choose from the installed fonts on the computer. Whilst I can get this working, I understand that if someone else goes to use this on their computer, the font will not display?

I realize you can embed fonts using Text-Font Embedding in Flash CS5, but I see no option for a custom font. Not sure if this is possible anyways, but let's say I create all the letters in the alphabet using Illustrator, could I have those converted to a font usable in Flash CS5 (where each image corresponds to a letter.) If so, how?
