Convert Lee 3D Carousel Tut To AS3 - How To Re-index Each Item Properly?
May 11, 2009
I've been trying yo convert Lee 3D carousel tut to AS3 and it pretty much there apart from one thing. I took Lee's as2 carousel 2 and applied what I know to convert it to AS3. I couldn't work out how to re-index each item properly. When the last item in the XML should appear under an item to it's left or right it does not due to numbers being rounded from the scaleX value being too close and causing the same number to be generated from more than one item therefore last item to be processed ending up on top. I've tried a few alternatives, but nothing has worked so far. Hopefully that makes to sense to someone.
If you download the files from Lee's tutorial http:[url].... open the fla, change the publish settings to Flash Player 9+ and AS3, remove all existing AS code, check the library item linkage as I've capitalized everything and add the following to the root timeline.The code causing the problem is this in the function mover:
Code: Select allvar index:int = Math.floor(mc.scaleX*10);
Code: Select allvar loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);[code].............

I am VERY green when it comes to flash and this is my first ever project. What Im trying to accomplish; *a website for myself that is "simple" and clean to be used as an art portfolio/gallery of my work. -three sets of buttons that go to three pages all with carousels that hold my artwork for that type (ie. press the concept art button and it loads page 2 where there is a photo carousel that containing my concept art pieces.
-clicking another button will then call for a new page with a new carousel (I have three types of art that I am showcasing: concept art, fine art, 3D game art)
I have managed to create a flash page that has my name and the buttons and upon pressing the buttons it goes to the page I need. However the pages are at the moment empty due to the fact that I cannot get the carousels to work properly. I have watched the tutorial and dl the class package on 3D carousels. I changed the .as file within the package so that my carousel will be vertical by changing imc.x = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450; to imc.y = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450;

I've just completed and have now made my own carousel, but it has one problem. The mc's do not swap depths properly which kinda kills the whole illusion...
Code:
var numOfItems:Number = 10;
var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
[Code] .....
My stage is 1000 x 1000. The mc's flash back and forward when they overlap at the edges of the carousel.

I need the tooltip above each item to always show the tootip. I tried changing the alfa from 0 to 100 which doesnt work, and also I saw where the depth is set way up so not sure if that will affect them as it turns or not.

I have a tutorial-based carousel navigation item for my site built, and now new XML content (CDATA) for the carousel can be loaded dynamically into the carousel depending on pressing different language buttons (example attached). After a few fails and tries, all good!
What I am trying to do is apply a preloader for the whole thing. Attached are 3 FLAs:1) 'working' shows the different language buttons working as I have them - the tooltips and expanded icons will show different XML content depending on the language button selected (English, Polish, German, Dutch - haven't created content or translated yet, but you can see different identifiers!)
2) 'preloader' shows the preloader I would like to apply to the carousel item. The layers are moved to frame ten mostly, 'Export in Frame 1' has been un-checked in properties for the 'item' and 'tooltip' library items, and a new layer containing dummy 'item' and 'tooltip' instances in keyframe 5 have been added. The AS has also been changed, but it doesn't take into account the multi-XML change as in 1 above
3) 'bridging' is my sorry attempt to bridge the gap between 1 and 2 above. I think that a separate array will be needed - one for the multi-XML and another for the way in which the preloader works, but nothing that I have done so far can get this to work. I have been banging my head on this since Saturday, the 'bridging' actions layer only contains a slight variation on some of the bonkers theories I have been trying, I've rolled back most of the changes - all to no avail though....
Can anybody please have a look at what I am trying to do and let me know what it is that I am doing wrong, or give me some pointers? The 'problem' AS sits in the keyframe in frame 10 of the 'actions' layer.

I have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?

I've got a subclass of AdvancedDataGrid showing a tree-like data structure. How can I, given the index returned by calculateDropIndex, get the item at that index? After reading through reams of code, it seems like the least terrible way is:
var oldSelectedIndex:int = this.selectedIndex;
var mouseOverIndex:int = this.calculateDropIndex(event);
this.selectedItem = mouseOverIndex;
var item:* = this.selectedItem;
this.selectedIndex = oldSelectedIndex;
The other option seems to be tinkering around with the iterator property... But, judging by the way I've seen it used, that will get pretty harry pretty quickly too. So, how can I get the item at a particular index in an advanced datagrid without going insane?

var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

I'm doing a drag and drop operation on a tree using some help from Adobe's quick Starts:[URL]
The code suggested is roughly this:
var dropTarget:Tree = Tree(evt.currentTarget);
var i:int = dropTarget.calculateDropIndex(evt);
myTree.selectedIndex = i;
[Code].....
EDIT: I forgot to post that my current workaround is setting the selectedIndex = -1 after I get my node:XML. I'm afraid that if something bogs on the processor the user may see it select then deselect.

I'm working on my website which is a portfolio site, to showcase my work I have a basic XML image gallery which does 1 of 3 things loads a large photo, goes to a frame with a video player, or goes to another frame with a gallery of web design or flash work i've done. when a thumb is clicked i trace the indexOf(event.target) of the thumbnail clicked (all thumbnails are placed into an array).
the problem is that for some reason randomly the index will not be found and return -1, but then other times it will find the correct index and work properly. i don't know what the inconstancy is thats causing this to occur

I have a label inside a repeater (rptInfos), and I have an arraycollection (Texts) that has the translations. The "Texts" content is changing when I change the language, and normally I use {Texts.getItemAt(219}} for example when I need a translated text. But in the repeater I have a translateable column, so I want to use it like this:
<s:Label text="{Texts.getItemAt(rptInfos.currentItem.DictID as int)}" />
but it says "Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute , not target".I wanted to translate it in the labels creationComplete event, but than I can forget about binding, so only when reloaded can I have the content to update.

I have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.

I am trying to get the index of an item in a List object on a mouse roll over event (please keep in mind this is not the selectedIndex I need). Heres the code I am currently using:
list.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_ROLL_OVER, onItemRollOver);
function onItemRollOver(e:Event):void {
var itemInfo:Number = 0;
/*This is where I need the Index Number of Item being Rolled over instead of Selected Item*/
itemInfo = list.selectedIndex;
txt_Display.text = 'Item Index #: ' + itemInfo;
play();
}

I change an item in Spark List. The item then moves to a different index in the list since I keep the List's dataProvider sorted. However, the selectedIndex stays where the item used to be. I want the List's selectedIndex to still be on the item that changed.

I want the selectedIndex to remain the same. So, if I delete item 2, the next in the list should be selected. The problem is that if I delete item 2, item 3 will be selected and I have no idea why.

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);

I'm creating a mobile app in which I need to show a calendar with months at the top. The months are part of a component that extends from SkinnableDataContainer (and has some custom scrolling/behaviour - which is why I did'nt use a spark list). I need the months to be shown as a 'trapezium' shaped tab and so I'm using a png image as a mask in the item renderer for the component.
When the mask is not applied, it all works well - the months render, the list/data container selection works when I click on a month and so on.When the mask is applied, it renders well, scrolling and everything else seems to work well - but when I click on a month, nothing happens visually. And from the trace statements in my code, it appears list item selection is not changing. Looks like mouse clicks are not working.
Code:
public class TopCalendarMonthRenderer extends LabelItemRenderer {
[Embed(source="/assets/trapezium_alpha.png")]
private static var TrapeziumMask:Class;
private static var trapeziumMaskInstance:BitmapAsset;

I have used states in my application.The thing is I have made the first item in my list to be selected. so I gave like this,
if(itemIndex == 0)
this.currentState="selected";
this works fine.The problem is when other item is selected the first item does not change its state,it remains in the selected state until its clicked.My code looks like this,
<s:BorderContainer id="outerCont" width="275" height="100" borderVisible="false"
backgroundColor.normal="#3D3C3C" backgroundAlpha.selected="0.1"
backgroundColor.selected="{data.color}">
My states are like this,
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="hovered" />[code]........
