I recently downloaded the Stack Overflow XML dump, and began playing around with the files. I plan to develop some visualisations of the data, for the community of course, but I am wondering does anybody have any suggestions on how they would like to view or indeed interact with this data? Social Network Analysis springs to mind, and maybe some Flex interactive charts...
View 3 RepliesI found this strange bug while coding, and wrote it in the simplest way to be sure it was true. Try opening a new AS3 FLA file, and write this code in the Actions Panel:
function someFunc(x1:String, x2:String, x3:Number=0):String
{
var my_result:String = "result";
return my_result;
}
someFunc("someVal1", "someVal2");
Calling someFunc will call a #1023 stack overflow error!The only way not to have it is to remove the "x3" Parameter. That'sso strange (and annoying, 'cause before realizing this was a bug i was getting crazy trying to find an error in my original code, which was much more complex).
I'm binding two AutoCompleteModified objects to one another; meaning you type in one and it selects the correct object in the other. It works fine when I define it in MXML: However, a user can add a new row to a Grid and then I set up the binding and objects via actionscript and it gives an 'undefined' error:
ChangeWatcher line 427/wrapHandler.
var innerHBox:HBox = new HBox();
var dtc_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();
dtc_acm.dataProvider = data2;
dtc_acm.labelField = 'id';
var cp_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();

If I only keep it 1-way binding then it works fine. But both throw this error. Is there something about not only doing it 2-way in actionscript, but adding components that aren't on the stage yet?

I'm having a strange problem w/ stack overflow errors after instantiating a simple class only 4 times. The strange thing is that when I put a trace statement where the classes are instantiated, it clears up the problem.

I am creating a card game everything is fine but I am not able to create a stack of cards as follows: If I have 4 cards that are represented in an array such as 4,5,6,7 of Spades then I want the card with the least priority to be placed on top and the highest priority card placed behind the first one.

View 6 RepliesIs there a way to detect text box overflow that has dynamic text?
I am looking to "scroll" the text left if the text overflows the box.
I will be looking to do this by having a MouseOver function that removes the first character of the string in intervals so that the whole text shifts left, and on MouseOut the original text will be re-inserted.
However to do this i need to detect if the text overflows the box as otherwise it will be pointless.
tutorial on custom scrollbars that remain hidden until the text is in overflow - I use either a text file or XML file to externalise the text.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to have a movieclip displayed only when there is text overflow in a dynamic text field? (This movieclip would be the scroller for the dynamic text field).
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a sprite in Actionscript 3 using Flash Professional with fixed width and height that contains a list of TextFields that scrolls up and down. I want the highlighted textfield to be fixed focus with the text that goes out of the sprites bounds to be invisible. I am new to AS3 and tried to set the width and height of the sprite but it did not work. I would do this with CSS by having a with a fixed width and height and setting the overflow property to hidden.
View 2 RepliesI have imported movieclip on my stage. But this movieclip has objects which lay out of borders of this movieclip, so I've got part of objects on stage which must be invisible, but they are not invisible.

wondering if there's any way to make it so that a list I have will not scroll to show the horizontal end of the items. Very few items go long enough to require it and the horizontal scrollbar is distracting.
I don't see any property to control that, though, so not sure how to achieve this.
I have two display objects dispObj1, dispObj2. dispObj2.stage is null. (i.e. it is not added to stage anyhow)What should be the output of dispObj1.getBounds(dispObj2)?Is it well defined, or could it be arbitrary?Once I got x of boundingRectangle close to 6710785, which I guess is a symptom of an integer overflow somewhere.
But other times I got a reasonable value for x,y,width,height.
I'm having issues with a YouTube video breaking a jQuery slider when viewed on an Apple mobile device. The slider uses a set width & height window that uses the overflow:hidden property. It looks great in all browsers except for Apple devices where all of the slides are visible in a row as if the overflow:hidden property did not take effect.

I created an ajax jQuery featured content slider that will automatically navigate through each tab. Each tab has some basic html. The one I used is this one: [URL]. For some reason, when I embed a flash video in it, the flash video overflows the div. It looks fine in Chrome and Safari but not the latest version of Firefox (3.6) on the PC. Is it not handling overflow or z-indexes correctly?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.Take a look at the one here in the center of the page: [url]....I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.
When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site? Is loading SWfs even the proper way to do this? Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking? The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);[code].....
What I'm trying to do is, create 5 or 7 movie items in a list and when you click on any of the items the items in the front will move to the back of the list.sort of like selecting a specific cd in a jukebox.So when you click on the 3rd item the first one in the front fades and shows up in the back, than the second item fades and comes back in the back and the 3rd item is now in the front.I think I can do it to 1st item in the front by changing the stack order but not sure how I can make the first 2 items move to the back.
View 2 RepliesI don't think "Chain" is the right word here. But this is my problem: I have a que of 1000 items that need to be downloaded. I use a loader with an event: Event.COMPLETE calls a function. This function creates a loader with an event which on Event.COMPLETE calls that function again ... etc. This has never been an issue. I never even knew it meant that it would all be stacked up in memory.On iOS this is proving to be an issue. At a certain maximum, it just tells me I've reached the limit. So at 500 I insert a Timer so that I can start calling these functions from "level 0 " again.

View 8 Repliesat the moment I've got a (perhaps) requirement for specifying precedence to certain queries within a movie, which will be dealing with the upload of assets through flash to a php backend.
Does anyone have any info, or maybe a pointer in the right direction with regards to how flash deals with the internal URLRequest stack. If that's even how it works.
I may be vastly over simplifying the way flash works, but the only analogy I have is my own exploration into protoyping an AJAX query stack a couple of years ago, where you'd be able to alter the stack ordering depending on request priority as it were.
I'm currently coding an image stack, (in quick words, when the user click on the top image, this one goes and hides at the end of the stack and displays the one under)I have the project to add a menu to be able to jump to specific images (the position could be stored on the id of the link or in xml)
Link 1 would take me to image 3
Link 2 would take me to image 7
...
(let's take an example) if I want to access image #5 (right in the middle of a stack of 10 pics) how should I code it the proper way to make disappear the pictures before (if there are some), and place them after the ones currently under the image # 5
Example :
image3
image4
image5 > the one to bring on top

Would anyone know why the photo stack flash gallery won't work in Firefox? IE works fine. I'm fairly sure its just a bit of syntax i'm missing, or a compatibility issue. I am using a .swf file which imports images in using an xm l file and then displays them as a stack of photos which can then be rotated and looked through.
