I've made a simple package that creates a custom textfield and a circle sprite. pressing the circle sprite is supposed to update the textfield text with some sent string. The string is being sent by using a custom event. The problem is, for some reason the script never reaches the function that handles the custom event....why isn't the updateText event firing??
[Code]...
ActionScript Code:
private function drawMap(tile1:DisplayObject, tile2:DisplayObject):void
{
var _tile1 = tile1;
[Code].....
The idea behind this is to store custom sprites in an array and then feed the array to the drawMap function, which would use the sprites from the array to draw a map.
I've setup an FLVPlayback 2.5 component with no skin. Then I've added all the UI components and assigned them to the FLVPlayback instance. I'm using a PlayPauseButton, a SeekBar, a MuteButton, a VolumeBar and a FullScreenButton. All of the components had their graphics customized. Extra care was taken not to rename or delete any movieclips.
If I try the custom components by publishing the movie, everything works fine.The problem arises when I dynamically load this SWF into another one. The parent SWF loads the playback controls and instantiates everything and starts the video playerback.
What doesn't work is the SeekBar's and VolumeBar's Handle. It just doesn't appear. If I put a trace() in those MovieClips, they never appear on the console, as if they are never created.
I'm working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do is to get a circle sprite to glow or highlight when the mouse is over. Using the glow filter, I set the inner boolean to true, but what happens is I get an outline, not an inner glow. It's on top of a bevel filter, which I tried removing to see if I'd get a glow, but still ended up with just the outline.
Here is my code for the function:
public function drawCircle(){
//Object
buttonCircle = new Sprite();
//Bevel Related:
var matr:Matrix = new Matrix();
[Code] .....
So I'm getting just an outline.
Is it possible to set the height of the sprite depending on the height of an textfield inside that sprite? I'm creating a box with a textfield inside it, but I want the box to be sized depending of how much text it is in the textfield..

View 7 Repliesi have the custom flv player which reads an XmL and draws circles on Flv video. Postion and time is specified in the XML. I did calculation with as3 getTimer() function. It works fine, no matter how long u pause and then play again. Circles are shown at right time.Now i have two problems
1- How getTimer can be reset?? it is required when user is allowed to play another swf..
2- Is there any other way besides getTimer calculation. I am not using Timer Class as it is Dependant on Frame-Script Execution time and may yield wrong result so this is not as accurate as getTimer() function.
3- As i am using Custom Slider , so i have to do calculations each time when user click or drag slider w.r.t getTimer() function and then subtracts seconds and all that. but again it goes very hard when user plays another swf as my calculations are based on getTimer() Funtion.
how can i make TextField rounded or attached to circle?

View 14 RepliesI have a sprite that contains a textfield. Then, I want to create a second sprite ("containerSprite") which is the same size as the textfield. That's not difficult and works fine.
Now I want to add a third sprite ("innerSprite") to containerSprite. I need this third sprite because I'm going to use it for drag and drop purposes. I add a textfield to it, and I want the textfield to be the same width as both containerSprite and innerSprite. Depending on how much text is in the textfield, I need innerSprite to resize its height accordingly.

import flash.display.Sprite;

I need to create a complex html displaying in a textfield so I'm looking right now at a few options. The simplest would be to use an img tag so I can add a few Sprite coming from the library. Problem is I can't seem to find a way to modify or pass values to the Sprite that is created that way.
View 9 RepliesI am using a class to create a sprite of a ball that is rotating it's parent. Both the parent and the child are adding a textfield child which indicates the radius. For some reason the textfield on the outer ball is falling behind the sprite, so only visible if mousing over it. Also the text is not rotating relative to the ball. It stays vertical.[code]...
View 5 RepliesSo I've made a circular preloader made with some shapes and masks. Everything like this works. What I want to do now is add a movieclip of animations to the stage and make it look like this movie clip is in the progress circle of the preloader. So what I did is create a movieclip container to hold all of the shapes that animate on loading. I then used that movieclip container to mask the movieclip of animations.What happens when published is the movieclip of animations (the particles) loads over the shapes, but all of their masks are gone. So it's as if when I applied the mask to the container, all of it's children and their masks stopped working. Is there a way to correctly do this?
View 2 RepliesCan't get Sprite to respond to custom event
View 3 RepliesI've got an app where numerous Sprite objects are being placed on the stage, and then when an event occurs (mouse click most likely) I want all the Sprites to move, independently, based upon an algorithm that each Sprite has. I can't get the Sprite objects to respond to the event; I get no errors.
Here's my Event class:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
public class MyCustomEvent extends flash.events.Event {
public static const CONTROL_TYPE:String = "moveThem";

Basically I have lot of text fields that are rendered dynamically, and I want the user to be able to right click on one and edit it.
Is it good practise to use the right-click bring up custom menu on a sprite. And is the method guaranteed to work accross all browsers? Do mac mice have right mouse click buttons?
[URL]
And if not, what would be a good work around. Maybe bringing up a yahoo astra message box with the two options one for left mouse click, one for right click and edit text field?
I am writing a class button that extends Sprite. I use graphic fill to draw button and then use addEventListener to add Tween to MouseOver event. Problem is:
1) If I use MOUSE_OVER event, the tween became sometimes corrupt when Mouse is INSIDE the button.
2)If I use ROLL_Over event, the tween became sometimes corrupt when Mouse is NEAR the button BUT ok WHEN mouse is far enough.
Basiclally a simple thing, however i dont get an idea on how to solve this one:
Say I have a sprite which is already existing during runtime and at some certain point I want to attach some custom data to it, say, in a string.
How would I do that?
s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s["extra"] = .... gives me an error, so i got exactly that far till here.
s.name is already reserved for another string and for sure I thought about just adding a TextField with the string inside to it, like
s.addChild(myStringTf);
But I know there is a better way, I just cant find it. hasOwnProperty() just returns a boolean true in case i match the value already assigned to it, right? Isn't there a way to attach an annonymouse object to it?
When i press keyboard down button the textfield is added to sprite but not through timer event call. Why is that ?

First time poster here.. I'm trying to parent a textfield to a draggable sprite which will eventually be a move icon. The reason for this is to allow the user the ability to move the textfield wherever they wish within the stage (needed for this particular project). I'm finding that although my x and y positions are copied across once I have moused up, it isn't dragging with the sprite on mousedown. I'm not sure if this is possible or whether there may be an easier method in accomplishing this...

I have an array of rectangular Sprites and ann array of Text Fields. On a certain condition, I want to change the fill colour of some of these Sprites and make the TextFields inside these Sprites editable. I tried the following:

for(var j:int=0; j<8;j++)
{

Given this:
PHP Code:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var _myriad = new _Myriad();
var tff:TextFormat = new TextFormat(_myriad.fontName, 24);

I have a sprite A which has a child, sprite B.Sprite B has a variable, instance of class C which only extends EventDispatcherIn class C, I dispatch a custom Event. The eventlistener in sprite B reacts on the event.The same eventlistener in class A doesn't respond.If I dispatch the same custom event in the eventhandler in class / sprite B, this event is seen in class / sprite A.Is there a difference in events going through the displaylist and those who are from an EventDispatcher?
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to add text programmatically in as3 to a Sprite or a MovieClip without using the class TextField
TextField inherits from InteractiveObject which is kind of heavy for what I want to do: just display text (i.e. I don't want to interact with the text).
Note: I'm aware that there is a property selectable to make the textfield not selectable. This is not the point.
I am following this page to create a custom preloader extending Sprite to load an animation SWF, but it is not working (the animation SWF is not displaying): [URL]. I know the Animation.swf file is okay, because if I load it into the main app it displays and runs. The preloader works if an image is loaded by the preloader instead of the animation SWF.
test.mxml (main app)
BTW, I typically have many more lines of ComboBox in the app to force the preloader to display, but limiting number of lines here.
