Jquery :: Need To Dynamically-generate A "sticky Note" Text
Apr 14, 2010
Working on a website that has an image of a sticky note which will change text somewhat frequently (every month or so) as new "todo" items are created on it. Font I'm currently using is not Web Safe and the text is slightly angled to match the skew of the sticky note as well. Now I'm a pragmatist, and in situations like this I would normally cede defeat and opt for something more CSS/HTML practical. But no more! I'm falling a bit behind on what's going on with HTML5, CSS3, PNG graphics, Flash (ugh), and/or any other rich visuals. I'm decent with PHP/CSS/JS (jquery), have dabbled in Flash/actionscript too. My question is: what tools/method should I be looking at here? EDIT: I've switched to Comic Sans MS/Cursive -- pragmatism is fighting back furiously.

First post. I was just going through Voetsjoeba's tutorial on making transitions between external swf's [URL]..
"If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path."
I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on this. That is, how the path to the container movieclip would need to be changed in this situation. Apologies if the question is too vague.

I was just curious and wanted to know whether its possible to generated swf files using c#, php or java. I know it can be done in c++, however I am not comfortable with it. swf I plan to generate would be mostly using flash drawing api or images.

I have a script that parses some complex XML. When the XML element is of a certain type, it generates a comboBox using the XML element's children to populate the box. I then want to check all of the values of the all the generated ComboBoxes against their correct answers (which is also info stored in the XML file). When creating the ComboBoxes, I added an "id" property. However, it seems that I cannot them use:
dynamicQuestion.id.selectedItem.labelField
to check the answers. However, I am able to get the labelField if I know the variable name used to create the ComboBox.
dynamicQuestion.selectedItem.labelField
This indicates (to me) that I need to dynamically generate the variable name as I'm creating new instances of the ComboBox. But how do I dynamically generate a variable name? If I use
var thisBox:String = "box"+boxCount;
var newBox:ComboBox = thisBox as ComboBox;
I get an implicit coercion error. I also tried changing the creation statement to a function that accepted an argument, "thisBox," but this didn't work either. Conceptually, this seems quite simple, but I'm having a hard time putting it to practice. It seems that the comboBox's id is what is generated by created the box using script (e.g., var thisBox). How do I dynamically generate this name?

I'm making a game and I an in-game editor that is able to create entities on the fly (rather than hard coding them). I'm using a component-aggregation model, so my entities are nothing but a list of components.
What would be the best way to obtain or generate a list of components? I really don't want to have to manually add entries for all possible components in some giant registerAllComponents() method or something.
I was thinking maybe somehow with reflection via either the knowledge that all components inherit from the base Component class, or possibly via custom metatags but I haven't been able to find ways to get a list of all classes that derive from a class or all classes that have custom metatags.

I'm using a compination of actionscript's getPixel and php's imagecreatetruecolor and imagesetpixel to generate a png image of an swf movie inside a browser. At the moment it will output a 72 dpi image at the same resolution as the swf movie, but I've been asked about the possibility of generating a 300 dpi image instead.

The main thing that intrigues me about the project is that it can create FLV thumbnails on the fly using the VideoThumb.as file included in the project download. Unfortunately, the project was made to be used on Flash Communication Server, and I am using Progressive FLVs on my site. I have been trying to figure out how to convert the VideoThumb.as file to work with progressive FLV instead of streamed FLV. I must say that I'm quite surprised no one has done this yet, as I think it would be a valuable contribution to the Flash FLV community.Anyways, as far as the code in the VideoThumb.as file, the main part I don't understand is this snippet...ok, so it's a pretty big snippet
Code:
// str is the suggested string to render from the tree (based on the node)
// node is the entire XMLNode for the row

I am trying to generate this line of code dynamically...
movieclip.somefunction = b2._x;
and below is what I'm using...
movieclip.somefunction = ("b" + thisnum + "._x");
and I am storing a variable called thisnum. My line of code seems to return the correct value when I 'trace' it, but will not call the function correctly.

I've tried a few ways but nothing seems to work. What I'd like to do is have my users post video's with the given embed code (example):
<object id="cnbcplayer" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="380" codebase="[URL]">
<param name="type" value="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
[Code] .....
But then, I want to resize it to be 300px wide. I've tried updating the attributes with jQuery but that didn't work.

This code here works if the src is filled with my videolink
<object width="620" height="348">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed src="myvideolink...." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/>
</object>
Now my next step is to fill it via javascript
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video object embed').attr('src', $(this).attr('href'));
});
But this isn't working... empty flash is displayed. But the generated source code seems ok. The href of the link is in the src attribute of the ebmed tag. Source code is correct again but still not playing my video
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video').append('<object width="620" height="348"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed src="'+$(this).attr('href')+'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/></object>');
});

I want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.

I am trying to generate variable names dynamically to get the X coordinate for many MovieClips on my stage.
This sort of works:
stop();
var End_X_mcArm01_Dot0:Array = [];
for (var Four_counter:int=1; Four_counter<=1; Four_counter++)
{
[Code].....
It stores the X coordinate in the variable End_X_mcArm01_Dot0[Four_counter] which is great. But I want to store these values for use later in my FLA.
If you turn the comment off on the second trace it errors although it appears to have created a variable called "End_X_mcArm01_Dot01".

I'm looking to make my MC's (acting as buttons) more sticky.What I mean by 'sticky' is to enable Rollover effect to hold if the user tries to click on the link within what is revealed onRollover (in my example it's 'sub-inline text link')Currently. The hit area of the MC's do not allow me to mouse over those links within. I can't simply enlarge the hit areas of the MCs because they will ultimately be tightly spaced from one another.

I'm making a Flash game where the player throws balls of mud at objects in the sky. I'm using Box2D to model the physics. I don't want the ball to bounce off of objects (apply a normal force); instead I want it to impart its momentum on the object it is striking (like a movie-style shotgun blast).

If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?

I've looked high and low for an answer to this and I'm hoping someone has an answer, or at least a tip on how to avoid it.I'm loading a static HTML file into a container via the jQuery load() method. This static HTML file has a script which loads a swf. When I load that particular file, I get the white screen of death (WSOD) and the page explodes and everyone in the room dies a horrible death.I've had this happen also when using the jQuery wrap methods (wrap, wrapOuter, etc.) when a swf is present.It seems manipulating the DOM with a container that has a swf object causes this. Does anyone have a solution or a way that I can prevent it happening?

I am a web designer and I do like to hand code using jquery however, I think it would be much faster to use gui applications like flash to create animations especially on the fly as well as support for writing and editing source code.
