While using action script I can't seem to figure out how to show the list of fuctions for my instance. Example: clicker_mc. After the . it's suppose to show the fuctions like in this video at 16:45 /watch?v=LC7BaZCForE why it isn't doing it for me? The code works too.
View 5 RepliesI tried to search but 99% of the posts I saw were referring to manually created dynamic text boxes instead of.. algorythmically generated text for lack of better phrasing.
I'm trying to make an AS3 .swf that would display a small array of letters that have been created with TextField's, and not with dynamic text's being dragged onto the stage since there's going to be more than 100 of them. I've tried setting the textfield's .embedded to true, changing the fonts, making sure the text and backgrounds are different colors.. nothing.
In my .fla I have nothing for the document class under properties. In frame 1 there is one keyframe with three lines of code below and I've tried it with stop() and without. The class file is in the same folder and is MyArray.as This should be really easy but it's driving me insane.
MyArray.fla :
Code:
//stop();
import MyArray;
var test:MyArray = new MyArray();

View 1 RepliesI am new to flash and having a problem with fonts not showing up in the font list. I am trying to develop my first flash based site and designed the base in Photoshop, using a .TTF font that I downloaded. The font shows up fine in photoshop but when the file is imported into flash it says the font is not available.
View 4 RepliesI have a for loop which is grabbing data from a xml file and showing it to the user.. my problem is that I want to show 5 for let's say.. 30 seconds.. and then making a transition and show another 5 elements.
I can make the condition like:
Code:
if(info.length() >= 5){
for (var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
and I show the first 5. But what now? How do I hide those and show the next five?
Is there any way to show a list of files in a directory without the use of PHP or some other language? I'm working with a standalone desktop application. NOT a web-based application. I would like to have a list of file names that were originally created by the program itself show up in a "list box" or "dynamic text" area, if possible.
So for example, if I have two files called "fileA.txt" and "fileB.txt," then the list box or dynamic text box area should display "file A" and "fileB."
I have a list of objects containing an icon, a label, and a tooltip. I want to show only the icon and the label. The tooltips should be visible on mouse over an item.
Is there a way i can achieve this without writing my own mouse-over/out functions?
(notice that dataTips are a different thing as they are displayed only when the label is cut)
I have a custom component that has an background image.ut when you generate this component by an ItemRenderer in a List, the background image is gone.hat am I doing wrong?Here is an image. The first element is not generated in a list and has a background image.he other three are part of a List and have no background image.Here is the code of the MXML of the List
<mx:VBox>
<solutionItems:displaySolutionItem /> <!-- This element shows the background image -->

I want is the Hand Cursor when it moves over an item in the List. I've tried the CellRenderer on it but that elimates all but my last item in the list. And it does show the Hand Cursor over that item. This seems pretty simple to me but I am missing something somewhere. I used a Listener on a Data List I had but think there must be a simpler way. In my List I can view the activeCellRenderers and can see that the useHandCursor on that item is set to false. I think this is where it needs to cahnge?

i got a s:List with a dataprovider and a custom itemrenderer. now my itemrenderer has a button within. Every time i choose a item from the list, i get focus on the item, but clicking the button within the item only causes the s:List to select the hole item and wont let me press the button within the item.
is there any solution to disable the "list" selection functionallity but keeping the items within the list enabled / clickable?

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions? Surely it is !!??ie....
