Control DMX with AS3

• Parental and child control with AS3

  Hello

  I am new to AS3 and although I can see some good practices and functionality, I'm constantly stuck and can still do the things I would do if easily with AS2 - I almost it relearn from scratch!. I would still appreciate little help and advice on this...

  I did a class that creates a "sort" menu with data from an XML file, and basically is what he does when he is called to create an emptyMC (a container), add a childMC (a square) and add another child (a text label). When I create the container, I am trying to add a MouseEvent that can act on each instance of container, but all I can get is a MouseEvent on the object that contains all the MCs added. The code follows.

  Can someone enlight me with that issue or explain what I am doing wrong.

  I do not understand the parental dynamics with AS3 and the absence of the use of instance names and parenting dot does not help.

  Thanks in advance.

• Select all the text in the control with AS3

  Does anyone know how to select all the text in a text control (text, textarea, etc.) with AS3?
  
  Thank you.

  Answered my own question.

  Set the properties selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex of text controls.

  For example, this selects all the text in a text box:
  yourTextArea.selectionBeginIndex = 0;
  yourTextArea.selectionEndIndex = yourTextArea.text.length;

• How to write Save function based on the drop-down list box selection data in app mxml flex4 with as3

  Hi all

  I'm working on the application web flex4 with as3.

  I have a doubt, I've created a mxml it has two text boxes, except the button and a combo box that is has two option as a percentage and the amount.

  my needs are I gave here.

  need 1: when I choose option amount that two text boxes does not have to be editable.when I select text tat box two percentage option will be editable.

  need 2: when I select the percentage in combox option and two text boxes are empty, and then click the button Save-> I want to display warning msg

  need 3: when I select the option amount combox and the two boxes are emptu click the button Save-> I don't want any warning messages.

  How to validate it and how to write backup for this function.

  This is my sample code:

  list box ID = baseAmtPer

  ID TextBox1 = maxCommAmt.text

  ID = baseAmtPer.text text box

  If (((baseAmtPer.editable!=true) & & (maxCommAmt.editable! = true)) & & ((baseAmtPer.text=="") & &(ma xCommAmt.text=="")) |) (baseAmtPer.text == "") | (maxCommAmt.Text=="")) -> This condition not allowing while I'm selecing amount in combo box. How the TWO TEXT BOX WILL BE EMPTY for this problem

  {

  Alert.Show ("enter in all areas", "Information");

  }

• How to fill a control ring with chains [] array?

  How to fill a control ring with chains [] array?

  It must be karma. (Try really bad karma because I couldn't post this question in my original)

  I must have been a Really bad guy in a previous life...  It's not like I'm bad in this one...

  So... what I want to do this time around?  Something that I thought would be easy... Well... it's a long story...  I had a simple solution, but the client wants something else.  -sigh-

  Here is what they want...  They want a control that allows for multiple selections to a control of the ring (or a control that allows a drop down selection menu).  Bites are filled at run time because it is based on 10 000 other precedents of things this particular choice.  So it must be dynamic.

  The snippet of code & images below show what I'm doing a little...

  The bottom image shows on the right bites which is filled in the control of the ring.  Since the number of items / items changes, I didn't have a bunch of controls stacked on another.  In addition, I have to deal with an unknown quantity of selections.

  Does anyone have a solution that can be recommended?  If so, can you share the solution / idea?

  Thank you

  I have posted a code that does something similar here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/array-of-cluster/m-p/1822451#M625032

  It uses a table hint and individual controls that are moved on top of the table and populated as needed.  This approach might work for you?  You would need a two-column table and only control ring, which you would fill properly whenever the currently active cell changes.

• A simple way to load a pdf page into flash with as3

  Hallo,

  is there a simple way to load a pdf page into flash with as3 at Flash.

  I mean no plug in or as a class.

  Thank you.

  If it is an air application, you can use the htmlLoader.

  Otherwise, you can use navigateToURL but that only opens 'in' your swf, and you cannot manipulate the PDF with actionscript.

• is it possible to make a timer with AS3, which is accurate to a millisecond.

  I am new to AS3. I have somehow developed an auditory and Visual reaction timer taking the script from here and elsewhere. I know that his is not accurate and I also know that I'll write it correctly when I heard the script carefully.

  But I was checking the net about the timer class and various positions on this issue and I am annoyed by a question "if its possible to make a precise timer with AS3?" can someone please tell me with certainty. and I will be grateful if I know how to do it properly. I can post the code I wrote (assembled).

  the answer is, maybe. but for most of the coders, the answer is, no.

  getTimer() is accurate to 1ms.  but to determine the elapsed time / and don't call or to run code on a timed basis. It can be used with the Timer class events or enterframe to do certain things with precision.

  However, the timer class is not accurate in the way of thinking of beginning coders.  It will be, on average, to allow the call of a function near the designated interval so there is no performance problem with your swf file.  It does not allow each function call to occur at regular intervals.

• Adjust the order of the layers with AS3

  I want to load an external SWF into my project. I do this by adding a charger to the scene. It seems above all, there are 16 layers in my FLA, and I want to put it between the second and the third to the lower layers. How can I do this? I looked at some things online but they are all to change the order of objects on the same layer, and they usually invole do 2 or three objects with AS3 then change the order on the same layer, always above the objects that are actually on the stage of the FLA. I want to put the SWF loaded under Of OBJECTS ALREADY EXISTING that are on different layers.

  My code:

  var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader;

  addChild (pageLoader);

  pageLoader.x = 98;

  pageLoader.y = 121;

  pageLoader.z <-as far as I know it works in a single layer, it won't jump from layer to layer.

  Some have suggested to load my swf in a clip from movie ampty bt when I do this I lose interactivity for swf file, why is this and is there away around this?

  My code:

  var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader;

  pageContainer.addChild (pageLoader);

  pageContainer is an empty movie clip

  I want to load directly to the scene and just change the layer (first method), but if this cannot be done so I need a way to get SWFs loaded into a clip vacuum film and keep their own interactive.

  I dound in connection addChildAt, which is different from addChild, because it has 2 parameters, the name of the object and its z-index. So I was able to do:

  addChildAt(pageLoader,4);

  Then I met the same problem with movie clip method is empty, I lost interactivity. Then I noticed that there movieclips above because one of them is used as a blending mode by covering it. So, I realized that the empty movie clip method did not work because there are video clips above it. So I did mouseEnabled = false. And it works, so YAY!

• Change the text with AS3 makes the invisible text

  Hi all

  Even for a total n00b like me, this is awkward: I can't even change a text on the stage with as3.

  I place a text on my stage, assign the dynamics, incorporate the police and give it an instance name. When I change the text, he evacuated the scene or if it remains invisible, I don't know.

  I thought it would be as simple as this: myText.text = "new text";   but apparently I am doing something wrong. When I put a trace (myText.text);  before and after, I see the old and the new text in the output window. Then he changes correctly, but why he disappears it? Also tried in a new white project, to ensure that it was not something somewhere.

  I'm totally distraught...

  BTW I use Flash CS5.5 on Win7

  do not enter text in the ide.  Use actionscript to assign the original text of your textfield and also change.

• Why can't you have variable conditionalized on template and control them with expressions?

  I have a chapter that is shared between two guides with different titles. On master pages, I inserted the variables for the two titles of books and conditionalized of each variable.

  When I go to the pages of the body, both titles appear in footers. When I apply expressions to control what as I want to appear, they both disappear. The only way of making return must show all.

  Note that the expressions work perfectly with conditional text on the pages of body. Apparenlty that they do not work on master pages. This seems to be a bug, no?

  I withdraw this question: you can have variable conditionalized on master pages and control them with expressions, provided your expressions do not confuse FM. For example, in the chapter, I have this expression:

  "NotInHelp" ANDNOT "hidden" ANDNOT "SalesPM" ANDNOT "HelpOnly" ANDNOT "Report_Caching."

  The first tag condition, NotInHelp, to which we are asking FM to show (the others hid), is the cause of all hide conditionalilzed, even if it worked properly when we tested it in an individual file.

  Remove "NotInHelpAND" solved the problem. Learned something about expressions today. fun!
