• Determine the width of the loaded clip

  Hi all
  Is there a way I can get and set the width and height of a loaded clip? I created a movie then loaded and empty empty a small swf file in the film with loadClip. I now want to determine the width and height of the loaded clip and it adapts to the size of my movie dimensions. Is this possible? Although the film load fine and I can position its x and y coordinates, the width and height show as zero.
  
  Can someone help me with this one? I use Flash Professional 8.
  
  Thank you
  Brayne

  You must wait until loading is completed to access the loaded SWF _width and _height. and then you'll see the _width and _height of objects on stage in the first image if you access these properties as soon as the SWF is initialized.

• GREP: How to target an appearance at the end of the paragraph?

  GREP newbie here. Trying to write a GREP expression that target a photo at the end of a caption of the photo credit and apply a character style.

  Text example:

  This is the caption of a picture and there is a legend over here (to the left). This is the caption of a picture and there is a legend here. (AP Photo/John Smith)

  The GREP expression should target the type of credit inside - and especially - the bracket. The trick: the term should target only a single occurrence at the end of the paragraph.

  Suggestions? That's what I have, what does not work. The expression applies the style to each occurrence of the type in parenthasis:

  \s\(.+\)$

  Any help appreciated.

  Basically, it prevents several parenthesis pick them up while seartching for a match.

  Ventilation GREP:

  \([^\)]+\)$
  
  \(    Literal opening parenthesis
  [^    Exclusion: any character not in this group
      \)    Literal closing parenthesis
  ]    End Exclusion Group
  +    While any character is NOT in this group may occur once or more times; longest possible match will be taken
  \)    Literal closing parenthesis
  $    End of Paragraph, Story, Footnote, or Cell
  

  Hope that helps.

  Almost all past and current PC applications are only one processor/heart aware.

  Multi-threading...

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading _(computer_architecture)

  This may explain better...

  http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/Hyper-Threading/Hyper-Threading-technology.html

  And this...

  In order to use multiple cores, the Application must be written to do. A unique set of thread on a basic multi computer installed will cause only 1 core used by the game. There is an advantage that the BONE may assign other duties to the idle Lossnay. If the game can have the attention of 1 core. This isn't a bad thing and gives rise to real performance improvements. But because the game itself doesn't "understand" 1, then it will use only 1. It's him you use XP or Vista. Almost all past and current PC applications are only one processor/heart aware. This will change over time, for sure. But in many / most cases, it will require developers to write completely new applications.

• How can access a button inside the video clip

  I have a button named a_btn. This button is located in a clip name a_mc passage. This button is on the first frame. then when you write the code for that:

  function submit(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  trace ("hii")

  }

  a_mc.a_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, Submit);

  his work. but when I keep this button on 2nd chassis or anywhere not in 1 frame inside that movie clip, then I get error runtime as:
  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  to NewFlashDocument_fla::MainTimeline / NewFlashDocument_fla::frame1 ().
  How can I access this button on the second picture...

  You cannot reference an object until there are.  Thus, if a_btn is on the 2nd frame of a_mc, you must wait until this 2nd frame plays before trying to refer to a_mc.a_btn.

  If not, put a_btn on the first image and set its visible property to false in the first frame and true as part of the 2nd.  Then you can use your current code and duplicate the design you are trying to achieve by moving the button on the 2nd frame.

• How to 'Allow smoothing' for the loaded XML .jpg?

  I have a thumb wheel image that loads a bunch of jpg. They are be enlarged rollover in 1,05.

  I've seen pixelated at scale 1 x 1 as well as expanded.

  I'm happy prettey how Flash renders the images with "Allow smoothing" on.

  How would I do it for the loaded xml jpg? Would it be as a script in the main folder or in the xml file?

  Here's how to load images in AS3:

  function completeHandler_AppPopUps(e:Event):void{
            //trace("thumbnail complete "+e.target.loader.parent.parent.name)//tells us when the loading is complete
  
            //size image into scroller (need only if I will have images at different sizes)
            resizeMe(e.target.loader.parent, 60, 90, true, true, false);
  
            TweenMax.to(e.target.loader.parent.parent, .5, {alpha:.7});//makes all thumb images at alpha=.7 after they are fully loaded
            //Tweener.addTween(e.target.loader.parent.parent, { alpha:1, time: .5 } );//caurina version
  
            TweenMax.to(e.target.loader.parent.parent, .5, {colorMatrixFilter:{contrast:1.1, brightness: .7, saturation: .5}});//makes all thumb images at brightness:0.5 after they are fully loaded
  
  
  }
  
  

  I don't want to complicate things more than necessary, but just in case it's needed here is the complete code for the edification of the wheel section:

  /////Parse XML
  //build scroller from xml
  function buildScroller(imageList:XMLList):void{
            trace("build Scroller");
  
            for (var item:uint = 0; item<imageList.length();item++) {
                      var thisOne:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
  
                      //outline
                       var blackBox:Sprite = new Sprite();
                      blackBox.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
                      blackBox.graphics.drawRect(-1, -1, 62, 92);//-1,-1 places rectangle 1px left and up.62, 92 draws rectangle 1px wider on all sides of placed image dimenstions of 60x90
                      blackBox.alpha = thumbFadeOut;//setting Border Tweens
                      thisOne.addChild(blackBox);
                      thisOne.blackBox = blackBox;//setting Border Tweens
  
                        thisOne.x = thisOne.myx = (60 + padding) *item;//replaces the line above for scale tweenw roll over calculation. "myx" is a made up term which defines the position. 61 is the width of the thumb
                      thisOne.itemNum = item;
                      thisOne.title = imageList[item].attribute("title");
                      thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
                      thisOne.src = imageList[item].attribute("src");
                      thisOne.alpha = 0;//makes all thumb images at alpha=0 before they are fully loaded
  
                      //Loading and Adding the Images
                      //image container
                      var thisThumb:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
                      //add image
                      var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
                      //var url:String = imageList[item].attribute("src");
                      var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thisOne.src);
                      trace("loading thumbnail "+item+" into Scroller: " + thisOne.src);//url
                      ldr.load(urlReq);
                      //assign event listeners for Loader
                      ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler_AppPopUps);//tells us when the loading is complete
                      ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler_AppPopUps);//tells us if there are any typo errors when the loading is complete
                      thisThumb.addChild(ldr);
                      thisOne.addChild(thisThumb);
  
                      //create listeners for this thumb
                      thisOne.buttonMode = true;//makes boxes act as buttons
                      thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//makes boxes act as buttons
                      thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//traces the title when the mouse is over the bounding box in the Output Panel
                      thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//traces the title when the mouse is out the bounding box in the Output Panel
  
  
  
                      //add item
                      scroller.addChild(thisOne);
            }
            scroller.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveScrollerThumbs);//adding movement on mouse position
            trace("termination of build scroller");
  
  }
  
  
  

  in your listener to full charge, enable the property smoothing to the content of your charger (expressed as a bitmap).

  function completeHandler_AppPopUps(e:Event):void{

  Bitmap(e.currentTarget.loader.content).smoothing=true;
          //trace("thumbnail complete "+e.target.loader.parent.parent.name)//tells us when the loading is complete

  //size image into scroller (need only if I will have images at different sizes)
            resizeMe(e.target.loader.parent, 60, 90, true, true, false);

  TweenMax.to(e.target.loader.parent.parent, .5, {alpha:.7});//makes all thumb images at alpha=.7 after they are fully loaded
            //Tweener.addTween(e.target.loader.parent.parent, { alpha:1, time: .5 } );//caurina version

  TweenMax.to(e.target.loader.parent.parent, .5, {colorMatrixFilter:{contrast:1.1, brightness: .7, saturation: .5}});//makes all thumb images at brightness:0.5 after they are fully loaded

• How can I remove a non-existent target ESX server from the list of vMA?

  I added some ESX servers at VMAs using "lt & sudo vifp addserver; hostname & gt; ».  These servers have been removed before removing the VMA.  Since they are not online, I get the message when you do "sudo vifp removeserver & lt; hostname & gt; "below.  How can I remove them from the list of targets vMA?  Thank you.

  Error: Unable to connect. Please make sure that the server is in place and is a supported version.

  If you are using the latest version of vMA 4.0, you should be able to do the following:

  sudo vifp removeserver  --force
  

  When it ask for password, just type in whatever she should remove just with strength of the management host.

  You can also take a look in the vMA configuration file that keeps track of hosts under management and erase the old entries:

  / etc/VMware/viconfig/viconfig. XML

  / Home/VI-admin /. VMware/credstore/vicredentials. XML

  Who gives a try and see if it helps, it is always advisable to withdraw before the host decommission but option 1 work usually, from what I've seen.

• How to target the buttons that are nested by 2 levels and one more thing...

  OK I'm going.  The link below, this is what I deal with

  http://clienttestsite.X10.MX/beta/garage.swf

  The garage door has a chevrolet logo that is thrilling. I know not how to make buttons but I need the garage door to become a button when you click on the animation plays instead of playing automatically.

  The upper part of the chest of the tool will be a button that plays the animation backwards and the drawers are the buttons that open to an e-mail for each form.  But I do not know how to target those buttons because they are nested two levels below the main timeline.

  In the case where he changes the way to proceed, once completed this film will be imported in another.

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance.

  As long as the object that you want to make clickable is an object with an instance name (movieclip, button, etc.) you can make it work like a button.  If you know how the code for the buttons, then this should be everything you need to know to make the garage door a clickable object.

  Target buttons that are nested you can use the point rating to target... Since you did not identify the details of nesting, here's how it goes mainly...

  Toolchest.Drawers.drawer1.addEventListener(...etc)

• How to have an entry in the list 'No. Target' parent not 'clickable '?

  I use DHTML tree as my list template and the list is added to the zero page in the Navigation area model. All entries in the child list are working properly and the parent entry list is set to "No Target". However, when I mouse over the parent entry list, the list of entries parent stills show that there is a clickable link, even if it does nothing if I click on it. It is misleading. If it is a 'feature', is anyway do disable it or bypass it?

  A better way to disable the link of the parent list item is to choose the "target Type" = "URL" and "The target URL =" #" When the user clicks on the parent list element, the browser would simply navigate to the top of the web page itself. In other words, he would just stay on the same web page, and there is not even a page refresh must be executed.

• AS3 how to programmatically a call for an image contained in the library

  I work with a UILoader, and I will he have to display images; but the images must be in the library to reduce the size of the overall content. So I have to somehow refer to images in the library of code. How can I do?

  The following code would work?

  var photoURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(photo1:Photo1InLibrary);
  loader_mc. Load (photoURLReq);

  or

  var photo1:Photo1InLibrary = new Photo1InLibrary();
  loader_mc. Load (PHOTO1);

  
  All this work code would be?

  In fact he's a bit more complicated than that because an image is the BitmapData class... If Img is the class name assigned to the image in the library...

  var img:Img = new Img (1,1);
  var bitmap: Bitmap = new Bitmap (img);
  addChild (bitmap);

• AS3: How to access and control embedded sounds in an external swf?

  I rarely use the sounds in AS3/Flash. I use Flash Pro CS6, but I can't seem to understand how access control (play, stop, etc) sounds embedded in a SWF external loading in the main SWF file.

  It is easy to control them when they are incorporated on the main swf. However, on a responsible external SWR, I get all sorts of errors. For this application, I really need to incorporate in the external SWF file.

  I've read several solutions, but none seems not to work.

  I integrate the sound file mp3 called soundSegment1.mp3 tool to import Flash CS6 and then open the properties panel actionscript Flash select the name of the class: SoundSegment1. Can I change the class ID and create a file named SoundSegment1.as, and it saved right next to my document class main.as in the same directory. The code for the SoundSegment1 class looks like this:

  package  {

    import flash.media.*;


    public class SoundSegment1 extends Sound
    {

        public function SoundSegment1 ()
        {
            // no code in here
        }


        public function playSound()
        {
            var soundSegment1:Sound = new SoundSegment1();
            var channel:SoundChannel = soundSegment1.play();
        }
    }
}

  Then, in my main.as, I made several attempts to play this sound such as:

  var fileLocation:URLRequest = new URLRequest(SWFToLoad); 
  loader.load(fileLocation); 
  loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressListener); 
  loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener); 
  loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initListener);  
  
  function initListener(e:Event):void // I also placed this code on the completeListener and it didn't work 
  { 
       loader.content.soundSegment1.playSound(); // doesn't work.  
  }

  I get:

  Line XXX 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method playSound through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

  Otherwise, I also read that I should be able to do something like this anywhere in the Main.as file:

  var theClass:Class = Class(loader.content.getDefinitionByName("SoundSegment1")); var theSound:theClass = new theClass(); theSound.play()  //doesn't work either.

  I also tried on the completeListener:

  var TheClass:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("SoundSegment1") as Class; 
  var theSound:TheClass = new TheClass(); 
  theSound.play()  //doesn't work either.

  I get:

  ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable SoundSegment1 is not defined. at flash.system::ApplicationDomain/getDefinition()

  I'm stuck and I really need this to work. I would really appreciate your help.

  Thanks in advance for any help provided. I really need to make it work, because I can not simply incorporate into the main SWF or load them individually outside one by one.

  Thanks again!

  
  

  You can use the load and loadCompleteF below:

  var SWFToLoad: String =...;

  var s:String = "SoundSegment1";

  Load (SWFToLoad, s);

  function load (urlS:String, classS:String) {}

  var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

  ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event){loadCompleteF(e,classS);});)

  LDR. Load (new URLRequest (URL));

  }

  function loadCompleteF(e:Event,classS:String):void {}

  var loadedAppDomain:ApplicationDomain = e.target.content.loaderInfo.applicationDomain;

  var C: Class = loadedAppDomain.getDefinition (classS) in class;

  var instance: * = new C();

  Sound (instance). Play();

  }
