Actionscript 3 :: Maintaining Textarea UIscrollbar Position On Loss Of Focus In Flash Embed

Oct 18, 2010

I'm using Flash CS4. Everything functions as it should when CS4 previews the swf after compiling it. However, after embedding the flash item in a webpage, if the textArea loses focus within the flash piece, the textarea's built-in UIscrollbar resets to the very top. Here's the kicker: if I add a FOCUS_OUT event listener to the textArea to store the current scrollbar value, I find that the scrollbar value has been reset to minimum even before the FOCUS_OUT event is triggered! WTF? I think this is occurring because the textArea's htmlText propery is dynamically populated. Adobe AIR has advanced methods for handing HTML, but not simple AS3, oh no. How obnoxious. What can be done?

Actionscript 3 :: Pausing On Loss Of Focus?

Jun 4, 2011

I'm working on a Flash mobile game. If the app loses focus (a call comes in for example) I need the game timer to stop until focus is restored. Here is my current code but I'm getting a "Argument count mismatch error" onDeactivate(). Expected 0, got 1.

Here is the related code, I think:

addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,onDeactivate);
public function onActivate():void {

I'm getting the error when testing in flash and I close the window.

Flash :: Shape Tween / Transform While Maintaining Bottom (Y) Position?

Jun 28, 2011

I'm trying to shape tween a movie clip of a rocket blasting off. I want it to "squash" before liftoff, and then "stretch" as it lifts off. When I tween this on the timeline with the transform tool, I can "squash" the rocket, and the base of the rocket stays on the "ground". This is what I want. However, for reasons I won't go into, I need to do this in AS3, as opposed to on the timeline. When I use a "height" tween, though, the movieclip height changes, but it shrinks/stretches at the bottom (locked at the top). Is it possible to do what I want with the tween class? Do I need to use something besides "height"?

Javascript :: Setting Focus To An Embedded Flash Movie/HTML Embed Element?

Dec 26, 2009

Is there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.

I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?

I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.

Flex - Setting Focus On A List ItemRenderer With TextArea Inside?

Oct 29, 2010

I've wrote a custom itemrenderer for a List component (Flex 3.5) which is a VBox with a Label and a TextArea wrapped inside. All works fine so far but I want the TextArea in the first itemrenderer to receive focus so that it instantly becomes editable when tabbing onto the List. Is that possible and if how would I achieve this?

I've already added an event listener that selects the item at index 0 but the textArea in it should also be focussed at that moment _list.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onListFocusIn);

private function onListFocusIn(e:FocusEvent):void
{
_list.selectedIndex = 0;
}

Dec 5, 2011

I am making something in Actionscript 3, where people can modify a piece of text, within a TextArea.Now, it's easy to get the typed character, but using event.getChar.

But, I would also like to know where the character was typed: the (text)cursor position.I've read about that it's easy to do with a TextField, however, I want to use a TextArea for a few reasons:

I've read about it being possible with a TextField, but I'm not sure how I would make that into an input field.

How can I make a TextField behave like a TextArea?

Php :: Maintaining Line Breaks In Flash TLF Editable Field?

Oct 14, 2011

I have a TLF editable field in a(n) swf file. Text entered there gets sent to a php page where everything is processed. I had the behavior set for multiline, but just realized that if someone hits return and keeps typing, no break is displayed (not even a space). I've tried using nl2br() in the php when it grabs the POST variable from flash, but that doesn't work. I don't know how flash handles the carriage return, so I don't know how to handle it on the php side either.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Focus On Mouse Position When Zooming Movie Clip Using Mouse Wheel?

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.

I have this code...

function focusMousePosition(){    onMouseMove = function (){        Stage.width = _root._xmouse;        Stage.height = _root._ymouse;        updateAfterEvent();    }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){    focusMousePosition();    if (wheelNum > 0){        map._xscale *= 0.9;        map._yscale *= 0.9;    }else{        map._xscale *= 1.1;        map._yscale *= 1.1;    }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);

Java :: Any Good APIs For Maintaining Open Connection With Flash?

Oct 31, 2010

I have a flash app which will send/receive a constant stream of data. The flash app should open a connection to the Java server, keep it open, and attempt to reconnect on socket failure. Are there any good APIs that offer this functionality? Smartfox Server is one option, but if I had my way I'd embed an API in my app rather than contort my app to run under Smartfox. Ideally it would offer an API on the flash end, another on the Java end, and efficiently (java nio preferably) handle the network component in between. I would just define handlers on both the client & server.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Resizing Flash Contents Maintaining Aspect Ratio?

Jan 15, 2010

[URL]

Notice if you adjust your browser size in both direction, it'll resize itself accordingly.

But if you resize in only one direction (squish your browser left) it won't resize at all past its aspect ratio..

Same if you squish your browser upward (with out resizing to the left or right), it'll resize till the aspect ratio is good, but if you continue squishing your browser up, it'll simply stop resizing all togethor and crop it.. AS well as the top portion of the flash file never moves up.

I want to make a full flash page, but allow the aspect ratio to be maintained when people adjust their browsers, so it can be resized if the browser is at a smaller resolution, but if they only move one side of their browser, nothing happens, (try it on the jimcarrey site to see what I mean, if you size your browser in both directions, the site resizes, but if you resize your browser in only one direction, say like up/down, it'll just crop out the bottom once the aspect ratio is met.
